This is Eminem’s third consecutive Irish No1 debut, emulating the achievements of ‘The Eminem Show’ and ‘Encore’ in 2002 and 2004 respectively. Green Day’s No2 debut for ‘21st Century Breakdown’ matches their previous album ‘American Idiot’ which was runner-up five years ago - but climbed to No1 three months later. The third and final new entry in this week’s Top 10 comes from Manic Street Preachers with their ninth studio album ‘Journal For Plague Lovers’ at No7. Tinchy Stryder and N-Dubz make it three weeks in a row at the top of the Singles Chart with ‘Number 1’, ahead of Alexander Rybak who debuts at No2 following Norway’s Eurovision triumph in Moscow on Saturday. Not since Lordi took ‘Hard Rock Hallelujah’ to No4 in 2006 has a Eurovision winner made the Irish Top 5 – and this is the best chart showing for a winner since Ireland’s own Niamh Kavanagh spent 5 weeks at No1 in 1993 with ‘For Your Eyes’. Apart from the winner, there’s also chart success for Ireland’s Sinead Mulvey & Black Daisy, up from No14 to No6 with ‘Et Cetera’ and Iceland’s runner-up Yohanna - new at No28 with ‘Is It True?’. Shaky Fan's Commentary Et Cetera falls 1 place short of equalling Dustin's peak position last year. Meanwhile the official Eurovision album becomes the first to crack the Top 10 of the compilation chart - the previous best was last year's edition which got as high as 14! Meanwhile a real clearout at the bottom end of the singles chart with all 9 dropouts being in the 41 to 50 positions last week - the only one surviving being Miley & Billy Ray Cyrus - Butterfly Fly Away which drops from 46 to 50.

Shaky Fan's Commentary A couple of mistakes fon the Irma website this week as it lists the Veronicas' single and the Bonnie Tyler album as NEW when they are both returning. Journey are catching up with Sharon Shannon again! It's a 75th week for "Don't Stop Believin'" while "Galway Girl" leads with 82 weeks. Earlier this year an appearance on the Late Late Show propelled Imelda May's Love Tattoo into the Top 10 of the album chart where it has more or less remained ever since. Last night to mark Pat Kenny's last show as presenter Imelda was back and performed a track and was interviewed by Pat. That should keep her in the Top 10 next week and a new 2CD version of the album will keep her fairly high for another few weeks. Both Madness & Jarvis Cocker make slightly belated debuts this week. In the case of the former the entry position of 31 beats the band's previous studio release "Dangermen Sessions Vol 1" which entered at 39 before dropping to 66 in its final week in the Top 75. For Jarvis there is also an improvement - his self-titled album spent a solitary week in the Top 75 - also at no 66.

May 29, 200916 yr Veronicas missed it by 1 :o Damn Tinchy, too strong. Since they're still in a good lead, they can be No. 1 next week. :) Edited May 29, 200916 yr by FunMaker11
May 29, 200916 yr Author Madness & Jarvis Cocker seem to be a week behind in the album charts as both debuted in the UK last weekend....
May 30, 200916 yr "Less impatient"? I only mentioned the No.2! Anyway, Veronicas for No.1 next week!!
