Justin Bieber - Daisies

Another new presenter this week - I presume Dave McCalmond was on holiday. 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.

Week ending 17th July 2025 (Week 29)

A lot of movement this week with various things going on - maintly the discovery of digital albums which I had bought ages ago and never got round to listening to. 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.

Did they make an error here, Kneecap have 4 songs in the Top 100 which is against their rules, unless they have them down as featured artists for The Recap?

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

I stay album chart got worst since streaming add to it use get top 20 run down on Sunday now just top 5.

2015 to 2017 was weird singles chart did start after 5pm wired oh summer had summer mag mix 15 bit into show. Or random album track and think 1st 30 min new music only good idea. New format came in because ed Sheeran album took up all top 20 singles. Uk singles not as bad Irish chart even worst over there still prefer Sunday as end of week new music day should been Monday.

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

Michael Jackson's 'Thriller' has had 6 runs in the top 40, although 4/6 of those were just returning for a single week due to Halloween downloads/streams (the other two of course being its original release and his death) so it's not quite fitting the spirit of the thread - if only it had been among his series of 2006 re-releases it could have had runs for 4 distinct reasons. Likewise Ray Parker Jr.'s 'Ghostbusters' has had 4 runs but 3 were for the same reason.

Cannot immediately think of any others that aren't just regular seasonal returners!

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!

Future Breakers

Craig David and JoJo - In It With You (after Bad Dreams)

Rudimental and Jess Glynne - Back To Me
Subtrax - Little Love
Sugababes -Shook
Jax Jones and Emei Stereo Shook

Future breakers were again placed in the middle of the show although Craig David was played just ahead of the 5 o'clock news as there were a few minutes to spare.

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.

CLASSIC COUNTDOWN
12/07/25 1993 www.rte.ie/radio/gold/clips/11730934/

Oasis are still a month away from their Dublin shows but the anticipation is building already.

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.

Two gigs this week - Alanis Morissette on Monday and Lee Rocker from the Stray Cats on Wednesday. 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.

ALBUM CHART
Alanis Morrissette and Duran both benefit from Irish gigs during the week and Rod Stewart's Glastonbury performance gets him a lowish debut position for his latest hits compilation. 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.

Lots of Bay City Rollers this week including a second Best of.. which actually has a better track listing than the one I had been listening to. 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.

Well it's rare enough to find an artist occupying the Top 2 positions on the singles chart or the albums chart but this week Zach Bryan manages to do both at once. 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.

10 03 Bay City Rollers - Greatest Hits

Another new Bruce entry with the show that was a freebie on nugs during the week. 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.

Another gig anouncement this week saw me listening to the Bay City Rollers (Woody's version of the band is playing a Belfast show next April). 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.

Friday saw the release of a new 8 CD box set from Hothouse Flowers consisting of their first 4 albums, each accompanied by a bonus disc of b-sides, rarities and live tracks. 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.
