I try to post it there but on occasion I don't have it done on time so maybe don't bother. For example a couple of weeks ago I was away for a couple of days and it was nearly a week later before I got round to posting anything here.

 

Don't be silly, being a week late doesn't matter because charts are reused for a few weeks before that person's charts aren't counted. I also realise my post sounded quite cheeky when it wasn't meant to, I do apologise. I'll try to look out for your chart in the future when I'm compiling the album chart.

Onto your chart!

 

React just never got it's claws into me. It's not that good a song imo. The ample is good but not enough to save the whole thing.

0800 heaven on its way out noooo. Ach well can't complain, it's been here a few weeks now.

I have been doing commentaries for the previous charts but haven't got round to posting them all. I'm going to put them on during the week but time permitting from now I'll add them when I post the charts.

 

This week sees a major clearout on both listings and there's one reason for this. On Monday morning my favourite band announced their first Belfast show in six and a half years and ahead of the presale on Wednesday morning I was listening pretty much non stop to their back catalogue. This should have been a better week for The Proclaimers but just hours before the Saw Doctors announcement they had to cancel all their upcoming shows including Wednesday's Belfast gig. It's all about the concerts this week - Holly Johnson announced shows in Belfast and Dublin and as a result Americanos and Love Train both make the tracks chart. Snap are back in the chart because I've had the song in my head for most of the week thanks to hearing it constantly on the TV where it is currently being used in an advert for Tesco. And I've been listening a bit to the Paul Hardcastle set where the singles are the highlight, especially The Wizard which climbs to number 1. There is a link between it and two of the other songs in this week's chart. Busy Boy is the theme to the old children's television show Catweazle, Day Trip is a piece of incidental music from that show and the spoken bits of The Wizard are the voice of actor Geoffrey Bayldon who played Catweazle.

10 05 Saw Doctors - Same Oul' Town

 

Another week listening to the Saw Doctors and it shows with 20 tacks in the Top 50. Last week I focused on the regular studio albums, this week I moved on to some of the others including That Takes The Biscuit (a collection of b-sides and rarities), Live At The Melody Tent and the 2009 compilation "To Win Just Once".

 

Also doing well this week are Stiff Little Fingers. I had been to see them at their now annual show at Custom House Square in Belfast. One of the support acts was Glen Matlock of the Sex Pistols - 2 of their songs also make the chart this week.

 

And the Dua Lipa & Olivia Rodrigo entries come as a result of the release of physical editions of the singles.

Hey shaky.

 

I'm really happy to see dance the night enter. After my initial disdain for the track, I'm really enjoying it and was happy to see it hit #1 last week officially.

A big yay at vampire re-entering too. It's fab as is bad idea right?

I've been off work all week and not been listening to as much music as usual. Again on the album front it's been mainly the Saw Doctors taking the odd break to listen to Lewis Capaldi and a bit of SLF. There's an unseasonal new entry on the tracks chart at 30 following the discovery this week that the Irish Christmas number 1 from 1990 has finally made it onto the various digital platforms. The song was only ever available on cassette until the end of last year - there was a new version released for the 30th anniversary in 2020 but that was a limited download available from the website of the charity they were raising money for. A couple more tracks entering this week as they are in my head from listening to the Northern Ireland chart show on Sunday.

And as soon as they drop out there's another Saw Doctors album to take their place! Gave a spin to some albums by other artists that I have booked tickets for recently - Deacon Blue are in Belfast next week and Elio Pace is bringing his Billy Joel Songbook show back next year. And Neville Staple of The Specials is supporting The Undertones at the end of November. Bryan Adams has a new single out and after checking it out I gave an overdue play to his most recent album too.

 

On the tracks chart there are a couple of Elvis tracks following another concert I was at starring Elvis tribute act Ciaran Houlihan. Simple Minds make it in with Mandela Day (yes that's another concert ticket purchase) and Mark McCabe returns after I spotted the song while going through my ITunes account.

All change in the album chart with only Lewis Capaldi hanging on from last week. Sharon Shannon & Mundy returned to the tracks chart last week after the release of a remix of Galway Girl and following on from that I started playing her self titled debut album along with a more recent offering Collaborations and a couple of tracks from that make the chart as well. I'm heading over to see Nik Kershaw shortly on his UK tour (which sadly doesn't include Belfast) and his first 2 albums have charted as a result. The first 2 albums by The Corrs are also doing well getting played for the first time in a while following the news that Forgiven Not Forgotten is on the release list for this year's National Album Day. Sonia is the beneficiary of getting suggested on Spotify and I discovered that Bad Manners are back out on tour shortly and I'm finally going to get a chance to see them live.

A week after Nik Kershaw it was back to Belfast to see Busted (supported by Hanson and The Tyne) and the following night it was the turn of Haircut 100. Rounding of my busy gig schedule was the legend that is Christy Moore. At the start of the week it was announced that he was doing an open air gig in Belfast next summer with tickets going on sale on Friday (which sold out in half an hour). Also this week Bryan Adams announced some new shows for the UK and Ireland including Belfast. And Rick Astley's album arrived in the post on Thursday so managed a couple of listens before the weekend.

Hey shaky! I was wondering where you'd went :kink:

 

Not paint the town red off the #1 already :lol: it's good. ^_^

Another good week for Bryan Adams but it's another newly announced concert that is causing a big shake up as Take That announced a European leg to their upcoming tour and it includes a show in Belfast. Falco came up as a recommendation on Spotify and as a result I've been listening to the expanded edition of the Emotional album and a more recent release which is a recording of a complete show he did back in Frankfurt in 1986 (an edited version of which appears in DVD form on the Emotional deluxe edition).

Album-wise I moved on from Emotional to Falco 3 this week, played a bit of the Corrs Forgiven Not Forgotten (which narrowly misses out on the Top 10) as I got my NAD vinyl edition and dug out a couple of albums which I haven't played much recently.

 

While I was listening to the new OMD album I noticed that Duran Duran also have a new album out, out of curiosity I listened to Ghost Town to see if it was THAT one and it is. And a great cover as well. Another concert announcement on Friday - Sting is doing a couple of Irish shows next summer and his special guests will be Blondie. Time to dig out some of the old albums, first up thogh the most recent Blondie album - Pollinator - which should be in the album chart next week but for now the opening track Doom or Destiny has made the tracks chart.

10 06 Rick Astley - Are We There Yet?

 

OMD was the big album for me over the week and there was an increase in Saw Doctors music as I was going to see them on Friday evening in Belfast. But the big news of the week was that on Tuesday there were a string of new live shows announced for Bruce Springsteen including one in Belfast. A couple of songs enter after popping up when I used the Spotify DJ option and the Beatles creep in at number 50 on the tracks chart.

Hey shaky.

 

Oh an old new pink song entering? Who knew is great though.

Bittersweet goodbye never ever clicked with me for whatever reason and I've heard it a few times now.

Stan is a bop of course. He seemed like the biggest thing in the UK at the time he was making such a massive chart impact.

Breathless is of course a classic. If you haven't already, you should check out Caroline polachek version

Fab chart ^_^

No prizes for guessing who I got concert tickets for this week! Having purchased them on Monday morning I decided to play some of the Boss's back catalogue. There are some re-entries for the Saw Doctors after I saw them live in Belfast the previous Friday (3rd November). On Tuesday (7th) I saw Phil Coulter in concert. More recently he has been a recording artist but he started off writing for others and had a lot of success doing so. He co-wrote 2 Eurovision classics with Bill Martin - Puppet On A String and Congratulations. He also wrote for the Bay City Rollers (Shang-A-Lang), Kenny (Fancy Pants), Slik (Requiem) and Cilla Black (Surround Yourself). In the States Elvis had a hit with Phil's song My Boy. He also worked with Irish folk band The Dubliners in the 70s and 2 of his best known songs were recorded by Luke Kelly from the band.
