Seeing Eoghan at the top is not surprising. It probably got there with a landslide victory.

 

I looked it up on wiki, and apparently every track on EQ is a cover except 28,000 Friends. Wow. o_o Some of them can't be too bad... I mean, his X Factor performance of 'Ben' was very good.

Edited by B-rye

I think 28,000 Friends is too. Wasn't it a Busted B-side? I actually listened to the album on Spotify because I didn't think it could be as bad as everyone says...

 

 

 

 

But it is! :puke:

I think 28KF was written by Busted, not a cover. He does have a B! cover in the album though - their best song, Year 3000.

Chart out a day early this week.

 

Won't post full thing but DELIGHTED to see PCD are #1! :cheer:

 

HOWEVER.

 

I am ashamed.

 

#1 album? Eoghan Quigg. Gobsmacked, yes even though he's Irish I thought we would ignore that :P

 

Happy to see that the bad taste in music is not only reserved for german charts :lol: .

German charts are pretty cool at the moment... Jamba free as far as I can see, and the Pet Shop Boys are doing very well :)

Glad to see that Jamba effect is not anymore what it was for the past three years! Also glad for PSB but also Razorlight are doing very fine there! :w00t:

Not a big fan of them...

WTF Pussycat Dolls at No.1?? I just don't get this song. Also good to see Britney up to No.11, Lily Allen at No.12 and The Noisettes in the top 20.

 

Lets not talk about Eoghan Quigg any further....

Poker Face is currently No.1 in Germany, so it can't be that bad! And the Irish have brilliant taste in music, just ignore this weeks No.1 album.

Ermmm, as this Poker face gets on my each and every nerve, it isn't a plus for the german charts IMO :lol: . Nor the cover of the Nothing else matter :naughty: .

Chart Track Commentary

 

X-Factor Strikes Again

 

X-Factor 2008 finalist Eoghan Quigg sees his self titled debut album head straight to the top of this week’s Album Chart. After finishing third in the competition, Ireland’s Quigg is the first of the finalists to release an album. Lady Gaga drops off the top spot down to No2 with ‘The Fame’ while Leonard Cohen’s ‘Live In London’ moves up two places from No5 to No3.

 

The Doves 4th studio album ‘Kingdom Of Rust’ enters the Chart at No8, not quite a match for 2005’s ‘Some Cities’ which entered at No2. The Yeah Yeah Yeahs complete the new entries in the Top 10 with ‘It’s Blitz!’ which comes in at No10 – a better debut than 2003’s ‘Fever To Tell’ which entered at No18 and 2006’s ‘Show Your Bones’ which debuted at No17. Neil Young and Bat for Lashes both see their new releases enter the Top 30 this week as Young’s ‘Fork In The Road’ enters at No18 and ‘Two Suns’ debuts at No21.

 

The success of the Oscar winning film Slumdog Millionaire continues to exert an influence as the Pussycat Dolls’ collaboration with A.R. Rahman on a remix of the soundtrack’s Jai Ho – remixed as ‘Jai Ho! (you are My Destiny)’ reaches the top spot on this weeks Singles Chart. Flo Rida feat. Ke$ha’s ‘Right Round’ ends its three week reign at the top as they drop a place to No2 while Lady Gaga also drops a place as ‘Poker Face’ falls from No2 to No3. There are two new entries in this weeks Top 40 – both currently on download only. Calvin Harris’ forthcoming single ‘I’m Not Alone’ enters at No 14 while Eoghan Quigg’s ’28,000 Friends’ – the lead track on his new album – enters the chart at No 32 ahead of it’s official physical release.

 

Shaky Fan's Commentary

 

All change at the top with new no 1s on all 4 listings.

 

Number 1 this week

 

Single: A R Rahman ft Pussycat Dolls - Jai Ho (1st week)

Download: A R Rahman ft Pussycat Dolls - Jai Ho (1st week)

Artist Album: Eoghan Quigg - Eoghan Quigg (1st week)

Compilation Album: Now 72 (1st week)

 

Hope La Roux manages to break the top 50 this week. She is currently No.43 on iTunes so its in with a chance. Also Boom Boom Pow looks likely to climb inside the top twenty, along with Return The Favor by Keri Hilson.

Another week at #1 for PCD :cheer: Poker Face clims back to #2.

 

And GaGa back at #1 in album chart :wub:

here is a little bit of information if use we got from the irish write up

 

 

While many albums leave the top spot on the Album Chart only to return again a few weeks later not many make the trip back up to the top as many times as Lady Gaga’s ‘The Fame’ which returns to No1 on the Chart for a fourth time this week – up a place from last week’s No2. Snow Patrol’s 2006 ‘Eyes Open’ did actually go one better returning to the top spot five times in its chart history.

Chart Track Commentary

 

Gaga Again!

 

While many albums leave the top spot on the Album Chart only to return again a few weeks later not many make the trip back up to the top as many times as Lady Gaga’s ‘The Fame’ which returns to No1 on the Chart for a fourth time this week – up a place from last week’s No2. Snow Patrol’s 2006 ‘Eyes Open’ did actually go one better returning to the top spot five times in its chart history.

 

Eoghan Quigg loses his chart crown after one week dropping back to No2 while Beyoncé climbs 2 places from last weeks No5 to this weeks No3 with ‘I Am …Sasha Fierce’. Jason Mraz takes a big leap up the Chart from No50 to No15 with ‘We Sing, We Dance, We Steal Things’ on the back of his Dublin show last week.

 

The Singles Chart sees no change at the top as A.R.Rahman & The Pussycat Dolls hold onto the No1 spot for a second week with ‘Jai Ho! (You Are My Destiny)’. Nos 2 & 3 swap places with Lady Gaga rising to No2 as the physical formats of ‘Poker Face’ are released and Flo Rida & Ke$ha’ s ‘Right Round’ dropping to No3. Calvin Harris moves into the Top 10 as ‘I’m Not Alone’ also gets a physical release this week – moving up from No14 to No6.

 

Note: Last week's charts were actually announced a day early and only covered sales from Friday to Wednesday. Sales from Thursday 9th were included in this week's chart.

Eminem gets his first solo No.1 in almost seven years, last topping the charts with 'Without Me' during the summer of 2002, although he did feature on Akons 'Smack That' which was a 2006 chart topper. One of the most striking things about this weeks chart is the impact of Pink's 'Funhouse' tour which visited Dublin on the 19th and 20th of April. 'Please Don't Leave Me' climbs almost thirty places to No.13, 'Sober' re-enters at No.32 whilst album 'Funhouse' re-enters the top five for the first time since last November. The power of reality tv is highlighted yet again as 'I Dreamed A Dream' registers inside the top thirty thanks to Susan Boyle's rather good interpretation of it on Britain's Got Talent almost two weeks ago. Other interesting climbs this week include 'Not Fair' by Lily Allen, giving her her second Irish top five hit, The Noisettes finally climb inside the top ten for the first time with 'Don't Upset The Rhythm', whilst the Black Eyed Peas epic comeback single 'Boom Boom Pow' jumps ten places still without hardly any promotion. Making pleasing progress also is 'In For The Kill' by La Roux, which leaps twenty places to No.27. 2008's best selling single shows no signs of dying yet meanwhile, as Galway Girls re-enters the top 50 yet again to register its 91st week on the chart.

 

Lastly, for all your Eoghan Quigg fans out there, his self titled debut has plunged eighteen places to No.20!
