Wonderful to have Celine back. This is why we need ACR otherwise that would not have got in at 40. And at last a few new entries.

It would also be good to see Dominic Fike sneak into top 4 with "Misses".

The average time spent in the charts in last Week's Irish top 30 singles was 19 weeks! So that is another example of the fact the singles chart which should be vibrant is far too slow. That will not help with interest or promotion. In the past, records were removed from the lower echelons of the chart to help others gain a foothold so that should happen again. I would increase ACR even further so that older songs began to disappear from the top 100. What benefit it is to anyone wanting to engage with music to have Mr Brightside there forever? And as another poster said, certain songs could go to a Golden oldies chart and if they show a dramatic increase in popularity then they can transfer to the main chart again. And as for Christmas, that is beyond a joke every year.

How good is that Sevdaliza track with Pabllo Vitta called "Alibi"? I am really hoping that can go top 40 at some stage.

That is a depressing chart, very little that is fresh.

Any chance of a clear out next week so a few songs can break through from Dominic Fike, Majestic/ Celine Dion and Adam Port amongst hopefully others?

I thought there would have been more top 20 new entries, Charli with Lorde, Gracie with Taylor and possibly Post with Blake! It will also be good to see Jordan Adetunji chart top 40.

It would be amazing to see Orville Peck, the masked South African-Canadian gay country star have a UK chart hit. Anyone know how "Midnight ride" with Kylie and Diplo is at No90? I don't see much streaming for it. Could this be a surprise sleeper hit?

Disappointed the Eurovision songs are not higher but I take it they can rise further. Hoping Olly gets a top 40 hit. Very clear that the entry that got the Uk televote 12 points is not even charting so proof it had nothing to do with music. Eden never to be heard of again!

How bad are OCC at doing their job? The Bank Holiday was yesterday!

I do not understand why So Long London is not one of the 3 Taylor songs, it definitely deserves it. As for Benson Boone and Teddy Swims, ACR should really be kicking in by now.

Disgracefully bad service by the Official Charts Company

I wonder how close the singles race is this week. I am hoping Benson Boone this week and Djo next week.

Odd that Benson Boone has 7 day spotify streams of 3,624,409 compared to Beyonce with 3,287,429 and yet he is still in considerable deficit overall.

C'mon Benson, please replace Beyonce at No1.

What a wonderful top 20, apart from Carnival and the fact Cruel summer is there far far too long. The list is a real improvement on a few years ago. I am loving some of those new entries including Olly Alexander and Charli XCX. But hoping 21 Pilots can hold on, so deserves it but I have a feeling it won't.

I would have liked Benson Boone to have got a week at No1 before Beyonce took over. But he has no chance now.

Good to see some movement and that is one of the best top 10's probably of this decade.

Good to see six big hitters going to ACR this week and about time too for them all.

Thats a terrific top 3, personally I would like Benson Boone at No1. Let's hope we get a few different no1s after that long runner.

It is no 41 in Ireland this week.

Beautiful things for No1 after Stick season

I am estimating we are in Week 7 of 2024 and only 6 of this top 20 are songs from 2024!

I used to like Cruel summer but now cannot bare to listen to it. They need to review their rules as this song is very stale.

The OCC reporting that Cat Janice is dying from cancer and that all proceeds from her track "Dance you outta my head" will go to her son. It is currently No57 midweek. Would love it to go top 40. I must say it is a good song and I have just purchased it on iTunes.
