After Christmas I started reading Rick Astley's autobiography and during the week I found the deluxe 2 CD editions of his first 2 albums which were released in 2010. While searching for those I found the first 2 Jason Donovan albums which had received the same treatment and the 4 volumes of Kylie's Greatest Remix Hits which I had picked up in the late 90s along with a 4CD edition of Sigue Sigue Sputnik's debut album from 1986. All 4 acts make a number of appearances on the tracks chart where they are joined by Myles Smith.

This week I was back to albums that I was listening regularly to a couple of years ago but hadn't played as much recently. I have the deluxe editions of Belinda Carlisle's 4 80s / 90s albums which were issued back in 2013 and lifted the first of them to listen to.

 

I was transferring a couple of albums onto my Spotify account during the week and pulled up a Boomtown Rats box set with all their studio albums (to that point) aong with bonus tracks. Someone's Looking At You was the track that stood out.

Hi there!

 

Nice to see "APT." at the top, "Austin" in the top 10, the returns for "Dancing In The Dark", "Glory Days" and "Born In The USA" and the debuts for "Heaven Is A Place On Earth" and "I Get Weak".

 

Great chart!

Take care.

More Falco this week! On the singles chart there are a couple of entries from THe Fureys who I saw for the fifth time at our local theatre. This was their last appearance there as they are retiring from touring in May 2026 and they played there every 2 years. However it won't be my last time seeing them as the previous weekend I booked to see them at the Waterfront Hall in Belfast at the start of 2026. Love the new single from Doechii which reminds me of Daphne and Celeste.

Friday (7th) saw another concert and the artists who performed all have some chart success as a result. A great triple bill kicking off with Hue & Cry followed by Katrina Leskanich from Katrina & The Waves and headliners were T'Pau. Some older albums were revisited and following on from last week I gave the Fureys live CD a play. Over on the singles chart Ocean Colour Scene make an appearance following the announcement that Madness are playing live in Belfast again this summer and OCS are their special guests. Great news as I missed out on a ticket for their own headling show in the city which takes place at the end of April. William Shatner was played a couple of times during the Gerry Anderson shows that I was listening to during the week and Alex Warren and Gracie Abrams have both grown on me enough that they make their chart debuts.

Came across the Abba album while searching for another CD during the week. My copy of the new Now Yearbook (1998) arrived on Thursday and ahead of that I was listening to some of the earlier releases. Several tracks from these made the tracks chart, as did a couple from Smokie who I was going to see on Friday. And the newest song from Boylife enters after hearing it on the NI Hit 40 chart where it was a new entry.

I should have been at 2 concerts this week but a chest infection meant I had to miss Alison Moyet's sold out Belfast show on Monday. I had recovered sufficiently to see Queen Extravaganza on Friday. Again I had some of the Queen back catalogue playing in the build up to the show. The Nik Kershaw box set had come down to a decent price online and I was toying with the idea of buying it. And I picked up my new car on Friday and tested out the Android auto by using the nugs app and playing Bruce. Apart from Queen the other entries on the tracks chart were on the Now Yearbook 98.

Some random album choices this week just for something different to listen to. I wasn't over the chest infection after all so I didn't listen to as much as usual. The new entry at 18 which is a bilingual version of a classic Irish Eurovision entry was discovered via a random recommendation on Youtube.

10 02 Queen - The Miracle

More Queen, more Yearbooks this week. Still not feeling great so I stuck on some of the recommendations from Spotify including the soundtrack from the Kneecap film. Following the death of Henry Kelly at the end of February I kept seeing video clips of Going For Gold and even found the very first episode on Youtube. As a result the full version of the theme is the week's highest new entry. Five have been hanging around for the last couple of weeks but things stepped up a gear this week with the announcement of shows in Belfast and Dublin. And a show in Belfast on Sunday (2nd March) also has a influence - Punked Off is the story of punk and New Wave and stars actor Kevin Kennedy who is best known as Curly Watts in Coronation Street.

Having picked up my ticket for Five on Tuesday they improve again and their Greatest Hits makes the album chart. But it was Five STAR who really dominate this week following the death of Steadman. Last Saturday I did a trial run to the shop I'll be going to for Record Store Day and picked up a couple of albums while I was there. One of them was Bon Jovi's latest = Forever. The other one was A Steady Drip, Drip, Drip by Sparks but I didn't get round to listening to that. I DID also listen to Slippery When Wet and that also returns to the chart. B*witched get a boost after a timely appearance on the St Patrick's weekend edition of the Late Late Show on Friday.

In the meantime I listened to one of the 2 Corrs album I already own on vinyl. And time this week to give the Now Yearbook for 1977 a proper listen.

10 Ne Fleetwood Mac - Tango In The Night

Lots of changes this week! On Saturday 5th April I decided at the last minute to go to see a local Fleetwood Mac tribute band. They're not a band I would usually listen to but I thought I would give it a go! Had a great night and listened to Tango In The Night during the week. The Saw Doctors had a new single out - a new version of the title track of their 3rd album which features the RTE Concert Orchestra. As well as that album I played the later Songs From Sun Street album as well. Clem Burke from Blondie died during the week and I dug out the Pollinator album as well as listening to some of the hit singles. Saturday was Record Store Day and unlike previous years I got a chance to listen to all my purchases as soon as I got home. Madness and The Boomtown Rats both make the album Top 10 while one of the tracks on the single by The Killers and Bruce Springsteen makes the singles chart.

Alan Fletcher (aka Dr Karl Kennedy from Neighbours) announced some shows in Ireland this week and I booked to see him in Belfast. His tribute to screen wife Susan makes the singles chart as a result. Finally I have a trial to Amazon Prime at the momen. While looking for something to watch one night I discovered Weird: The Al Yankovic Story and a couple of his tracks enter the chart as a result.
