Listening to a lot of Bruce again this week and collected my NAD copy of the Corrs debut album as well. Had preordered the new Madness album on vinyl from HMV although it would be the following Monday before I would be able to pick it up so I had to make do with playing it on Spotify. Still haven't got round to listening to Now Year 1988, had only previously played the first couple of records on it's predecessor and that's where The Sweet and Suzi Quatro come in. Some current chart hits breaking in this week as well.

And even more Springsteen! A slight climb for Madness as I got to listen to the album more, hence the appearance of some of the album tracks in the tracks chart. Blondie and Scooter turned up randomly on the DJ function on Spotify while Holly Johnson returned as I was going to see him in Belfast on the night of 24th November.

Top 10 Albums (25/11/23 - 01/12/23)

 

01 Ne The Undertones - Get What You Need

08 Ne The Undertones - An Anthology

09 Re Holly Johnson - Blast

10 Re OMD - Bauhaus Staircase

 

At the start of this week I attended 3 concerts over 3 nights and it shows up on the charts. On the Friday night it was Holly Johnson, On the Saturday The Undertones and finally Bad Manners on the Sunday. Get What You Need (2003) was the first album that the Undertones recorded with current singer Paul McLoone, the follow up Dig Yourself Deep came out 4 years later. Both albums were only ever released on CD. Last year saw the release of Dig What You Need which is a mix of the 2 previous releases with a 50/50 split in material. As well as CD there was a vinyl issue and there were a few signed copies available at the show. For around £35 we got our money's worth as also on the bill were Belfast punk band The Outcasts, Neville Staple and the Buzzcocks.

Towards the end of the chart week the death of Shane Macgowan was announced. With various other things going on I wasn't listening to much music at that point so only one song fro his back catalogue made it into the Top 50.

This is a recording of a concert recorded at Brixton Academy. On the tracks chart the Christmas songs make their first appearances and the other new entries are mostly a result of using the DJ option on Spotify.

10 Re Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band - 2023/05/07 Dublin, IRELAND

 

Listening to more music than the last couple of weeks and again Bruce Springsteen benefits as I put on 2 of his Dublin shows from earlier in the year. Shaky's Christmas album was dug out this week and provides one of the new entries on the album chart, just ahead of one of three live albums from Bryan Adams. Also this week after a few plays of Born In The USA I decided to dig out another of my favourite 80s albums. I know he has changed his name but to me he'll always be Terence Trent D'Arby. Showaddywaddy are also back following the announcemet this week of some Irish dates for next September. Bruce and Showaddywaddy provide some of the entries on this week's tracks chart with some more Christmas tunes also making their debut. Had a listen to Sleaford Mods version of West End Girls during the week and thought it was quite good, it turns up just outside the Top 30.

Final concert of the year on Tuesday night! A great show called Fairytale of New York (Coming Home For Christmas) which was a mix of Christmas songs and well known Irish songs. I picked up a copy of the cast recording CD afterwards and it and several of the songs have made this week's charts. Beoga may not be a name that will be familiar to many but their Top 30 entry this week will be. It was sampled by Ed Sheeran on Galway Girl and the band became good mates of his supporting him on one of his Irish tours. You can also see them if you watch his Live Lounge performance of Fairytale of New York. Completing the list of entries are a few Christmas songs including the new number 1 - this was an old song which wasn't recorded until the band reunited a few years back.

09 08 V/A - Now Christmas

10 04 Bay City Rollers - A Christmas Shang A Lang

 

A week of two halves - the first few days filled with Christmas songs and the second with a mix of stuff. Again Bruce Springsteen was played quite a bit, this time the final of his 3 Dublin shows from 2023 as I realised that it was a year exactly before I see him in Belfast (9th May). Also this week Jean-Michel Jarre did a live show and I dug out the Concerts In China album. Finally there were 4 new episodes of BBC NI's comedy show Give My Head Peace and as a result the theme tune returns the Saw Doctors to the Top 50.

So time for the Christmas clearout and time to play a few albums that I haven't listened to as much recently! Plus a new release from Busted who are taking the proverbial with different variations on the Greatest Hits formats.

 

Also this week I found a Spotify playlist containing the contents of all 116 regular volumes of the regular Now series. Had it on random play for a couple of days and a couple of the tracks have made it in this week. The Tony Christie re-entry is concert related - his 3 Irish shows at the end of January were cancelled.

Another week, another concert announcement! Well 3 in fact as singer Rebel Dean announces his first ever shows in Northern Ireland with his Shakin' Stevens tribute "A Whole Lotta Shakin'". As well as listening to his own album featuring songs from the show I put the Fire In The Blood box set on random play on Spotify. Also this week I decided to play some classic albums from the 80s and 90s and as a result Dire Straits make a surprise appearance in the top 10.

Time to play some albums that I hadn't listened to for a while and again some of the songs made the tracks chart. I had another few plays of Brothers in Arms which to be honest I hadn't really listened to much back in the day though I had taped a copy from someone at school and I picked up on CD at one point. And for the first time since I bought it Lewis Capaldi's album drops out of the top 10.

Lewis Capaldi returns to the album chart amongs a varied selection of titles. The song La Bamba appeared on a Spotify playlist and that led to me playing the entire soundtrack album. Just below that another random entry which bizarrely is the fault of Vyvyan from 80s comedy show The Young Ones. I was reading Aadrian Edmondson's autobiography "Berserker" and there was a chapter about this album which was a family favourite of ours back in the 70s. Someone posted a link on Facebook to a radio programme about Alan Freeman during the week which led to me seeking out the Propellerheads track.

Bruce bounces back to the top of the album chart! Finally got round to ordering the vinyl edition during the week and I gave it a few plays on Spotify along with one of the 2023 Irish shows which is on nugs.net. Also ordered with BITUSA was the new installment of the Now Yearbook series (1990) but I'm still playing catchup and put the 1988 version on during the week. Amy Macdonald is another one that popped up on a Spotify playlist and I dug out the vinyl re-issue of the album. A few current tunes have been growing on me in the last 2 or 3 weeks during the NI Hit 40 show. I had a listen to Absolutely by Madness as well and remembered how good the song Solid Gone is. Apache Indian is another random one - someone posted about it on a Facebook group and next thing I know it's inside my Top 10. Last Friday saw the Irish Eurovison selection. While I can't stand the winning song I checked out some of the previous entries and Et Cetera was one of the best in the last 20 years.

No change in the top 2 albums! Although I had both on cassette at the time and later upgraded to CD neither was something that I would play often. That has changed over the last couple of months as almost 4 decades after everyone else I have come to realise what great albums they are! During the week The Corrs and Therapy? both announced new Belfast shows so it was time to dig out some of their albums. Most of the other new entries on the tracks chart are from the latest issue in the Now Yearbook series - 1990 - which also makes the album chart.

Another week, another concert! This week it was the turn of Rick Astley. I finally got round to listening to the new Rod Stewart / Jools Holland CD during the week having collected my signed copy from HMV. With just 2 months before I finally get to see him live I dug out Bruce Springsteen's 5 record Live 75-85 set as well. The 2 new entries on the tracks chart from Harry Styles and AC/DC are also down to Rick as he performed both at his shows.

09 Ne Bruce Springsteen - Born To Run

10 06 OMD - Punishment of Luxury

 

Although I have had the CD for years I've never really played Born To Run much but this week I gave it another chance after realsing that I was actually very familiar with most of the tracks from the various live shows I have been listening to. Ironically I was listening to one of those shows again when the news broke of the death of Irish journalist and broadcaster Charlie Bird who had been diagnosed with MND a couple of years ago. Charlie was a massive Bruce Springsteen fan and was actually at that very concert when Bruce dedicated Land of Hope and Dreams to him.

 

The most played track on the last day of the chart week was the new single from the Saw Doctors. That day was also the last day of Cheltenham and there was a horse called Pied Piper running in one of the races. The horse came in 3rd and I won a few pounds on it. That was another song that got a few plays that afternoon. Tiberius Minnows got a few plays during the week after seeing that it was 33 years that week since the single was released. Jason Donovan was a random play on spotify.

Went to Simple Minds on Tuesday and had a listen to the Street Fighting Years album beforehand. Also had a few plays of Lewis Capaldi after not having listened to it much recently. The Bruce Springsteen new entry is the first in what could be a regular series of one week stays. I discovered this week that every Monday they put a handful of shows up for free streaming on the nugs.net app. She Says by The Saw Doctors makes a high re-entry as I had been to see the stage show version of the BBC NI sitcom Give My Head Peace for which it is the theme tune (although not actually featured in the live show). The Shaky and Beoga tracks came up randomly on Spotify.

Monday saw another one week Bruce Springsteen gig available on nugs.net, this time From Detroit in March 1988. Much more up to date and permanent as I bought it as a download fromm the site is the opening show of the 2024 tour which was in Phoenix, Arizona on 19th March. The River was this week's selection from the Springsteen back catalogue. And 2 classic 80s album also chart this week - Lloyd Cole & The Commotions and Tears For Fears. Two tracks make massive climbs this week and in both cases it is mainly due to a concert I attended to mark the centenary of my old school. There were songs from each decade since the school opened and the one chosen to represent the current decade was Stick Season. One of the guest musicians was one of the members of Beoga who is a past pupil.
