Bruce benefits from the release of the Belfast concert which I had attended the previous week. I have actually pre-ordered it on CD but in the meantime I have streaming access via the nugs app. This week's free stream on the app was the Barcelona show from 2016. I also had a listen to the Bucks Fizz set and they manage to place more songs in the tracks chart as a result. Gary Numan returns with Cars as I saw him live on 17th May. Erasure has been featured heavily on an advert on Irish TV recently. And a couple of current singles that have caught my attention as they climb the NI Hit 40 chart also enter.

It seems that Irish Eurovision fans have been getting nostalgic as not only is this year's contest album at the top of the compilation chart joined by last year's volume in the Top 10 but the previous 2 years albums are also back in the Top 30. It's probably obvious but what has prompted the return of Smalltown Boy?

At the start of the chart week I listened to a few of the albums that I had been playing a lot recently but from Tuesday onwards it was Bruce all the way. And expect it to continue this week. I had pre-ordered the Belfast CD weeks ago and as I type this I'm expecting it to be availab;e for streaming in the next day or so and having heard great reviews online I invested in an mp3 of the Cardiff show on Saturday.

Well a concert / disco... The Biggest 90s /00s Disco brings together around a dozen acts to perform their big hits in an arena setting. This time the venue was the SSE Arena in Belfast and the acts included Vengaboys, Five, Atomic Kitten, Phats and Small, Sonique, Rednex and Baby D. Headling was DJ Sash! and as mentioned previously Irish DJ Mark McCabe. His single Maniac 2000 topped the Irish charts back in the day and is still absolutely massive. It was what I was looking forward to most about the show and it didn't disappoint. A chance remark by a work colleague in a teams chat prompted me to listen to Queen's 1989 album and that edges it's way into the bottom end of the chart just behind an incredible 5 CD set featuring all the RCA sing;es by Bucks Fizz including the B-sides and instrumentals and extended versions. This one only arrived on Friday morning so should climb next week. Also out this week was the latest Now Yearbook which will hopefully arrive in time for me to listen to before next week's charts. Incidentally those are likely to be taken over by one artist - Bruce Springsteen plays Belfast on Thursday. Speaking of which this weeks highest new entry on the album chart is this week's freebie on nugs.net

Sadly our local indie shop closed shortly after last year's event and the nearest participant was a half hour bus journey away. Luckily there wasn't anything that I particularly wanted so there was no great rush to be there at opening time - I did go however and picked up a couple of releases that weren't actual RSD releases. First up was the Bryan Adams Live At The Royal Albert Hall vinyl box set which I ended up listening to via Spotify. Also got a 10" white vinyl double edition of Amy Macdonald's debut album but that doesn't chart as I didn't get round to listening to it. On the Sunday evening I went to see the fabulous Billy Joel Songbook show in Belfast - if you ever get the chance to see it, go. The live recording of the show made it into the album chart and would probably be a bit higher if it was on Spotify - I was listening to it on CD. Over the last few weeks I have been trying to play albums which I haven't heard for a long time and this week it was the turn of Gina G. This week I was looking forward to another concert - this one taking place on Saturday 27th and the big hit from one of the artists taking part in it returned to the bottom end of the chart - that being Maniac 2000 by Mark McCabe.

She released her debut album in 1995 and the second and final album in 1998. After that she disappeared to start a family and has been absent from the music world ever since. Elsewhere I was listening a bit more to Bryan Adams and the other albums and tracks that I was listening to the previus week.

OMD are moving in and out at the minute and Black Star Riders have also made it back in to the album chart. In the singes chart The Hooters debut with a song that I heard on a TV show during the week. It was a different Bonnie Tyler song that got all the airplay following the eclipse during the week but it was Holding Out For A Hero that I was listening to. The week saw the 35th anniversary of the release of Iron Maiden's Seventh Son of A Seventh Son and while the album narrowly missed out on the Top 10 a couple of the tracks did make the singles list. Dustin the Turkey made it onto one of my spotify playlists along with the Traveling Wilburys - it's possible that I'll be listening to the albums over the coming week.

The latest live recording had a full week's plays and climbs to number 1. I had a listen to Ed Sheeran's Divide album for the first time in ages along with Beoga's mini album. And time to dig out a couple of Marillion deluxe sets. Beyonce's new album was released and while I only listened to a small part of it I did like Jolene enough to chart it. Sinead Lohan's name cropped up on an internet forum and that lead to me playing her cover of Bob Dylan's To Ramona.​

Much more up to date and permanent as I bought it as a download fromm the site is the opening show of the 2024 tour which was in Phoenix, Arizona on 19th March. The River was this week's selection from the Springsteen back catalogue. And 2 classic 80s album also chart this week - Lloyd Cole & The Commotions and Tears For Fears. Two tracks make massive climbs this week and in both cases it is mainly due to a concert I attended to mark the centenary of my old school. There were songs from each decade since the school opened and the one chosen to represent the current decade was Stick Season. One of the guest musicians was one of the members of Beoga who is a past pupil.

Went to Simple Minds on Tuesday and had a listen to the Street Fighting Years album beforehand. Also had a few plays of Lewis Capaldi after not having listened to it much recently. The Bruce Springsteen new entry is the first in what could be a regular series of one week stays. I discovered this week that every Monday they put a handful of shows up for free streaming on the nugs.net app. She Says by The Saw Doctors makes a high re-entry as I had been to see the stage show version of the BBC NI sitcom Give My Head Peace for which it is the theme tune (although not actually featured in the live show). The Shaky and Beoga tracks came up randomly on Spotify.
