This time it was Evanna Maxted. I've seen her name on the website but knew nothing about her. Apparently she has done quite a bit of work on CBBC and CBeebies. Again no recaps but was paying attention in terms of how many places songs were moving (Levi Heron being the biggest faller) and identifying the re-entries as being exactly that. One minor mistake when she said that BlackPink was the highest and only new entry though Disco Lines had sneaked in for a first week at 40. Future breakers were all played ahead of the Top 20 and the Top 10 countdown was just before the number 2.

Two examples are the entries for Public Service Broadcasting. These are instrumental versions of the albums which were released exclusively (I believe) through bandcamp. I came across them on the app after buying their new release - an instrumental edition of The Last Flight. The 40th anniversary of Live Aid reminded me that I had bought the digital album of that a few years ago. Friday saw the release of Amy Macdonald's new album. Although my signed vinyl and CD copies weren't due to be delivered until Tuesday I bought the deluxe digital edition with 4 exclusive live tracks and listened to that. Forgot to mention in the previous commentary that Led Zeppelin had featured in the new F1 movie which I had been to see. Victory Lap from the soundtrack album joins it this week.

Great spot! That DOES look wrong as the featured artist is clearly Mozey!

The Irish chart uses the same sales week and rules as the UK and is compiled by the OCC..

Even more irritating is that it was released but was ineligble as it was the first in the series and came packaged with a box to hold the collection in!

The 3 lowest placed Oasis tracks are all re-entries having previously entered when the new concerts were announced last summer. And they are the 3 songs that make the Irish chart this week. There was a slight surprise when we got into the top 20 though as Acquiesce which didn't chart last year makes it's debut at 14.

Mumford and Sons played Malahide Castle in Dublin on 4th July and return to the singles chart though IRMA are claiming I Will Wait is a NEW entry so it is obviously a long time since it's last appearance.

Got the new Lewis Capaldi CD single in the post on Friday and earlier in the week I was listening to the Broken By Desire To Be Heavenly Sent album. Also towards the end of the week i treated myself to the second of Bruce Sprngteen's 2 nights in Liverpool from nugs.net. Three other songs which have been growing on me over the last 2 or 3 weeks have made the singles chart - Ed Sheeran, CMAT and Levi Heron. Whole Lotta Love features in the new F1 film which I saw at the cinema on Tuesday.

Lewis Capaldi's first 2 albums both return after his Glastonbury appearance and the release of his new single. Speaking of Duran Duran I notice that IRMA have it as being on it's 2nd week. However I don't have it listed on my spreadsheet which goes back as far as 2014. If this is the case it would look like it had made an appearance in one of the incomplete charts that we have. Looking at setlist.fm they played Dublin on 12th June 2022 and guess what?? We have an incomplete chart just after that.

Had a brief listen to some of the new Springsteen box set on Spotify and having heard Mickey Joe Harte's cover of Teenage Kicks I dug out his first album which it featured on. On Saturday I went to see Only Fools and Horses: The Musical in Belfast and also during the week I prepared myself for Alanis Morrissette who I was going to see on Monday 30th.

Not only that he has another single placed at 4 and another album at 7. However his still a long way behind Ed Sheeran who back in March 2017 held down the entire Top 16 positions on the singles chart with Divide entering the album chart at number 1 ahead of X which climbed from 3 to 2 and + which moved from 8 to 5. He was also at 39 on the album chart as well as positions 64, 68, 70, 74, 81, 83, 84, 88 and 94 on the singles chart.

Sadly it was a one-off as Deputy Dave was on holiday and Stuart Robinson was filling in for him.

On Thursday I saw Madness live in Belfast (supported by Ocean Colour Scene) and 2 nights later I was at the same venue to watch Snow Patrol. That show is quite probably going to end up in the chart at some point as Gary Lightbody announced that it was being recorded and will be released as their first live album.

With various posts on Facebook about his recent UK dates I decided to concentrate on The River by Bruce Springsteen, There were a couple of albums that I hadn't played for years which I thought were due a listen - the Moby one as a result of seeing Harry Hill in Belfast as Natural Blues is part of his act. And once again I was listening a lot to Beoga's new album.

The recaps have gone apart from the top 10 and instead of playing all the future breakers just before the Top 20 they have been split up again. Will Smith was played just before Gracie Abrams, the next 3 were played just ahead of the Top 20 and the final 2 were played just after Messy. Also of note is that although this is it's first week in the Top 40 David McCalmond said that Ella Henderson was climbing 6 places to re-enter the chart.

I played the first 2 albums and have charted them in their own right rather than as part of the complete set. Also during the week I spotted signed copies of the new Sparks album and ordered a CD which also arrived on Friday. On Thursday night the Seven Drunken Nights show returned to the Waterfont Hall in Belfast. Those albums account for the bulk of the entries to the tracks chart. The Robbie Williams single has been growing on me and I Had Some Help is back in as I keep hearing it on the NI Hit 40 chart show.
