Chart Track Commentary

 

Vive La Resistance!

 

The Album Chart is overhauled this week with the arrival of three new entries in the top positions, but it’s Muse who head the pack with their 5th studio album ‘The Resistance’ landing at No1. This is their second consecutive No1 album, following ‘Black Holes & Revelations’ which debuted on top three years ago. Prior to that, ‘Absolution’ (2003) and ‘Origin Of Symmetry’ (2001) both came in at No3.

 

David Gray, with four No1 albums under his belt, has the next new entry at No2 with ‘Draw The Line’. His previous three albums all debuted at No1 (‘Lost Songs’, ‘A New Day At Midnight’ and ‘Life In Slow Motion’) and his 1998 classic ‘White Ladder’ remains one of Ireland’s best-selling albums . Jay-Z has the third new entry at No3 with ‘The Blueprint 3’, way ahead of his previous best ‘Kingdom Come’ (No40 three years ago) – although his collaboration with Linkin Park ‘Collision Course’ reached No6 in 2005.

 

Black Eyed Peas ‘I Got A Feeling’ takes an incredible ninth week at No1 on the Singles Chart – the longest stretch at the top since 2006 when B.E.P. member Wyclef Jean and Shakira took nine weeks at No1 with ‘Hips Don’t Lie’. In a strange twist, Shakira has this week’s highest new entry at No4 with her first single for 2 years ‘She Wolf’. This week’s highest climber, and contender for next week’s No1, is Taio Cruz with ‘Break Your Heart’, up 32 places from No34 to No2.

 

Shakyfan's Commentary

 

Starting off with the newly published Indie album chart it's interesting to note that David Gray appears in the Top 3 with his Greatest Hits CD while on the main chart he appears in the Top 3 with his new release "Draw The Line". DTL won't be appearing in the Indie Chart as he appears to have changed label.

 

Numerology fans must be hoping that Rodrigo Y Gabriela can stay put on the main album chart next week to give us 11 11 11:11

 

Shania Twain's Come On Over is back on the published album chart this week after a lengthy absence. The last time we saw it was towards the end of 2003 (w/e 23rd November 2003 to be precise) when the published chart was still a Top 75. That week saw REM's "In Time" topping the artist album chart, Westlife were straight in at no 1 on the singles chart while the no 1 compilation was a predecessor of this week's chart topper in the shape of Now 56.

 

And finally there's a belated entry from a record breaking album in the Uk charts. Vera Lynn's Best of... arrives at 79....

Chart Track Commentary

 

Cause For Celebration

 

Madonna lands at No1 this week with her fourth greatest hits collection ‘Celebration’. Of the previous three, ‘The Immaculate Collection’ was the only one to reach No1 in 1990, with ‘GHV2’ debuting at No2 in 2001 and ‘Something To Remember’ making No7 in 1995.

 

Pearl Jam debut just behind Madonna at No2 with their ninth studio album ‘Backspacer’ - their first new album since 2006 when their eponymous eighth album debuted and peaked at No4. Muse drop to No3 after a week on top with ‘The Resistance’, one place ahead of Jay-Z ‘Blueprint 3’ down from No3 to No4. Outside the Top10, Mika is new at No14 with his second album ‘The Boy Who New Too Much’, Dublin 4-piece CODES enter at No18 with their critically-acclaimed debut ‘Trees Dream In Algebra’ and Dizzee Rascal is new at No20 with his fourth album ‘Tongue N Cheek’.

 

Black Eyed Peas’ residency at No1 on the Singles Chart continues as they take a tenth week at the top with ‘I Gotta Feeling’ – the longest run at the top since Mark McCabe took ten weeks with ‘Maniac 2000’ nine years ago. Only another eight weeks and they match Bill Whelan’s record of 18 weeks at No1 with ‘Riverdance’ back in 1994. Jay-Z is the nearest challenger this week with ‘Empire State Of Mind’ (feat. Alicia Keys), up from No22 to No2 and four places ahead of his other Top 10 hit – ‘Run This Town’ (feat. Rihanna & Kanye West) at No6. This is a new personal best in the Irish Charts for Jay-Z, ahead of the No3 peak position for ‘Run This Town’ two weeks ago.

I'm beginning to lose faith in the Irish chart now. HOW COULD THIS POSSIBLY BE SO????? TEN WEEKS?!?!?! They're now tied with Mark McCabe for the longest running No.1 this decade. I simply don't understand it. They've been No.2, 3 and 4 on iTunes all week... is iTunes losing its influence or something? What other download sites are widely used in Ireland?? I simply don't understand how it could still be selling enough to be No.1 in its fourteenth week on the chart, especially when it's had so many challengers recently in the form of Taio Cruz, David Guetta, Mr. Hudson, Tinchy Stryder & Jay-Z. I give up!!

Oh God, I still have nightmares about that song! Surely a contender for the worst song of all time.

Cover of the Flashdance song?
55 44 COME ON OVER SHANIA TWAIN MERCURY 190

89 54 GREATEST HITS SHANIA TWAIN MERCURY 34

Good to see Shania back on the charts, it's been forever since we've heard from her.

 

Scooter with an Irish accent basically then :lol:

 

Not horrendous, but 10 weeks at number 1? You're having a laugh...

 

Actually I take it back... that was the longest 4 minutes of my life :wacko:

I'm still amazed at the success of Maniac 2000, 10 weeks at #1, best seller of 2000 and the 4th best seller ever :o Does anyone know or remember why it was so successful? Its never seemed to be the type of song that would be very radio friendly or that would have wide spread appeal (though obviously it must have), must have sounded good in a club though.

 

BTW I Gotta Feeling is back at #1 on itunes so I reckon its got another week or two at #1 (maybe 12 weeks?). I reckon it will get knocked off by Alexandra or Robbie now. Amazing success really.

I think the main reason for it's enduring success was simply for the fact that he is Irish. Any half decent song by an Irish artist will always do well in Ireland in a market flooded with American and British artists. Also, it was EXTREMEMLY popular amongst young people!!

A little teaser before the designated chart poster posts the chart.

 

 

BEP are still #1. How can this be? Surely everyone in Ireland already has this...

 

 

Paolo Nutini re-enters at #10. X-Factor effect is strong.

 

 

More independent hits, at #13 with 'Heirs To Nothing'. Peh.

 

 

Paloma is new at #19, one place ahead of The Veronicas. 4ever is pretty floppy considering Untouched was #1 (#2?)

 

 

More X-Factor effect as Daniel Merriweather climbs back to #30.

 

 

Mini Viva climbing to #31 :puke:

 

 

New entry at #33 for Cobra Starship. The UK need this song soon...

 

 

Another new entry at #37 for Naturi Naughton. I see the Fame movie effect ain't so big in Ireland.

 

 

Lady GaGa's Poker Face down to #41, is that the first time it's not been top 40?

 

 

Tiësto gets a fairly decent chart position of #42 :wub:

 

 

Ireland beginning to catch on with Jordin's new one, as it is new at #47.

 

 

MOAR X-Factor effect - Daughtry back at #49 with What About Now.

 

 

And also:

 

 

Paramore's album is #1. I hope it can also do so in the UK and the USA.

 

 

The Coronas only #3, still behind Madge.

 

 

Ian Brown is new at #13. Doing better in the UK...

 

 

Basshunter new at #16. Doing roughly the same in the UK.

 

 

Another album doing better in the UK is Newton Faulkner at #18.

 

 

And again with Alice In Chains (#21).

 

 

Sharon Shannon at #25 most certainly NOT doing better in the UK.

 

 

Going back to better-in-the-UK, #29 is Paloma Faith.

 

 

It was a little higher in the UK last week. #48 is Monsters Of Folk.

 

 

Barbra Streisand at #53 is DEFINITELY doing better in the UK.

 

 

And AGAIN with The Nolans at #67.

 

 

I spy a pattern here... #72 is Hockey.

 

 

Some re-entries - a little bit of Winey at #60 and 94-98 are Sharon Shannon, Michael Buble, The xx, Andrea Bocelli and Duffy. Then #100 is Guns N' Roses' Greatest Hits.
