What is published there makes no logical sense with the last week figures completey out of sync. CZB at UKMix has been investigatigating and it looks like the "last week" and "weeks on chart" figures are correct, but the titles of the hits and performers are wrong! For example, clicking on the number two button gives the chart run of Aimee Carty "2 Days Into College" ( 09 10 13 16 16 17 20 02 02 ) suggesting that it should be a non-mover at number two this week. More interestingly, the number seven button suggests that the previous appearance of a "re-entry" at 07 for Amble, "Lonely Island" (never previously appearing) was a fortnight ago at number one, suggesting that it should actually be "Act Of Innocence" by Picture This in this position...... Beatlened at UKMix disputed the number 1 and suggested that it was more likely to be Birds In The Sky by Newera. Just when I was putting this together I realised that a number of the entries have an accompanying video when you click on the information button. I've played them all and CZB's chart theory seems to be correct although there are some errors with the videos. Number 3 plays the song Shooting Star alright but it's a song of the same name by someone called Tom Taylor. Instead of playing Lonely Island by Amble at 8 it plays a song called I'm On A Boat..... by a band called The Lonely Island. And the video at number 10 IS by Dermot Kennedy, it's just a different song of his (Something To Someone). The only real problem is the number 1 which it seems isn't DNA after all. The video playing at number 1 is.... Newera - Birds In The Sky. In my opinion CZb has correctly identified numbers 2 to 20 and beatlened has got the number 1 spot on.

Finally got round to ordering the vinyl edition during the week and I gave it a few plays on Spotify along with one of the 2023 Irish shows which is on nugs.net. Also ordered with BITUSA was the new installment of the Now Yearbook series (1990) but I'm still playing catchup and put the 1988 version on during the week. Amy Macdonald is another one that popped up on a Spotify playlist and I dug out the vinyl re-issue of the album. A few current tunes have been growing on me in the last 2 or 3 weeks during the NI Hit 40 show. I had a listen to Absolutely by Madness as well and remembered how good the song Solid Gone is. Apache Indian is another random one - someone posted about it on a Facebook group and next thing I know it's inside my Top 10. Last Friday saw the Irish Eurovison selection. While I can't stand the winning song I checked out some of the previous entries and Et Cetera was one of the best in the last 20 years.

The song La Bamba appeared on a Spotify playlist and that led to me playing the entire soundtrack album. Just below that another random entry which bizarrely is the fault of Vyvyan from 80s comedy show The Young Ones. I was reading Aadrian Edmondson's autobiography "Berserker" and there was a chapter about this album which was a family favourite of ours back in the 70s. Someone posted a link on Facebook to a radio programme about Alan Freeman during the week which led to me seeking out the Propellerheads track.

So as expected last week's charts never materialised. I have used the last week columns from this week to fill in what I can and have added them to the original post but sadly we're going to have more gaps, Next up I'll get this week's charts posted in the next couple of days.

It seems to have become a regular occurance at this stage but once again there is no sign of the new charts being added to the IRMA website. In the meantime here's what we can find on the OCC's website. 18th January 2024 (Week 03) Top 100 Singles 01 01 Noah Kahan - Stick Season Ne 02 Ariana Grande - Yes And 02 03 Sophie Ellis Bextor - Murder On The Dancefloor 03 04 Casso / Raye / D-Block Europe -

Well 3 in fact as singer Rebel Dean announces his first ever shows in Northern Ireland with his Shakin' Stevens tribute "A Whole Lotta Shakin'". As well as listening to his own album featuring songs from the show I put the Fire In The Blood box set on random play on Spotify. Also this week I decided to play some classic albums from the 80s and 90s and as a result Dire Straits make a surprise appearance in the top 10.

Plus a new release from Busted who are taking the proverbial with different variations on the Greatest Hits formats. Also this week I found a Spotify playlist containing the contents of all 116 regular volumes of the regular Now series. Had it on random play for a couple of days and a couple of the tracks have made it in this week.

For last week positions I'm assuming a frozen chart last week though DJ Hix did say that Kenya Grace had climbed 18 places to 11. Also amongst the future breakers before the Top 20 he played Olivia Rodrigo's Can't Catch Me Now which has already spent 2 weeks in the Top 40.

A new year and a new thread! And before we get down to business a few links and some background information...... The Irish chart is revealed online every Friday afternoon and covers sales between Friday and Thursday. Since the beginning of 2007 the main sales chart has included all physical and download sales as in the UK. Also following the UK's lead streaming data was added with effect from the chart dated w/e 10th July 2014 and from w/e 6th July 2018 video streams were also added. The chart also uses the 3 songs per artist rule that was introduced in the UK following the influx of Ed Sheeran singles in 2017. The main charts are the singles chart (a Top 100), the artist albums chart (a Top 100) and the compilation album chart (a Top 30). These can be found at http://www.irma.ie. A new Homegrown Chart was launched on 7th June 2019 . This highlights the biggest tracks by Irish acts each week based on combined sales across physical, download and streaming and is a Top 20. The chart is featured briefly on the 2FM Chart show with a countdown and a play of the number 1 just ahead of the main top 10. To prevent the chart getting clogged up there is a 1 song per artist rule similar to the one on the main Top 100. A weekly airplay chart is compiled by Neilsen but since the middle of 2008 this has been unavailable to the public. During 2009 IRMA also started publishing the Indie Album Chart - initially a Top 20 but this was reduced to a Top 10 after a couple of weeks, returning to a Top 20 again in April 2010 which has continued to be published. During 2012 IRMA briefly published a Top 10 Classical albums chart. With effect from 1st January 2017 Chart-Track have been replaced as chart compilers by the Official Charts Company. Initially the Chart-Track site continued to hold the various archive charts but these disappeared in 2018. The OCC site carries the Top 50 singles, Top 50 artist albums and Top 10 compilation albums. The official Irish chart was first broadcast on RTE Radio on Sunday 4th June 1978 – an hour long “Top Twenty” (also featuring Irish tracks appearing between 21 and 30) beginning at 2.00pm and presented by Jimmy Greeley. A year later, national pop station RTE Radio 2, later renamed 2FM, began - the Irish equivalent of Radio 1 in the UK! – and a two-hour weekly chart show has appeared in its schedules for the vast majority of the four decades since then. Originally aired at 2.00pm on Sundays, in April 2020 the show was extended to three hours, usually between 7pm and 10pm on Fridays - and, after some initial experimentation, the first two hours are now generally used to play most of the official Top 30 singles, then around fifteen of the Top 20 Homegrown hits are played in the last hour. Nowadays, the show is occasionally reduced in length or removed entirely to accommodate programming regarded as more important (mainly commentary on live sports events) – but it had also disappeared completely for most of 1980 and for several weeks in early 1992, on both occasions due to industrial disputes. Later, in August 2006, it was reduced to one hour, featuring not very much more than the top ten – and then it disappeared completely in January 2010. While there had been many stand-in presenters over nearly thirty years, the regular presenter throughout almost all of that period was Larry Gogan – the only other regulars were Tony Fenton (May 1999 until January 2003) and Rick O’Shea (August 2006 until March 2007). Apart from a brief shift to starting an hour earlier (from June until September 2019) the show remained in a new regular slot of 8pm - 10pm on Fridays when it unexpectedly returned in March 2014. It was presented until September 2015 by Mark McCabe (the man behind the long running number one single "Maniac 2000”- which actually re-entered the chart in a week when he was the presenter!). He was then temporarily replaced by Alan McQuillan - who had been the regular stand-in, and would continue in this role until his death in January 2019. But the regular presenter since December 2015 has been Blathnaid Treacey - whose claim to fame is that as a child she appeared in the hit Irish soap opera “Glenroe” (Mick Lally, who played her character’s father, reached number one in the Irish charts back in 1990 with a song featured in the show, "The Byroad To Glenroe"). For well over a decade – including the whole of the period during which the official chart couldn’t be heard on 2FM – various regional stations broadcasted "Top 40 Oifigiúil na hÉireann" (“Ireland's Official Top 40”). This weekly programme was presented entirely in the Irish language by Daithi O'Daibhin, and was produced by a company called Digital Audio Productions - which ironically was set up by former 2FM presenter Dusty Rhodes. For several years, Spin 103.8 and Spin Southwest aired a different version of the show, "Hit 30 na hÉireann" which used the same chart and had the same presenter, but only covered the top thirty – however, from 31st August 2014, this show was dropped and these stations also aired "Top 40 Oifigiúil na hÉireann". In July 2019, at much the same time as 2FM rebranded “The National Chart Show” as “The Official Chart Show”, "Top 40 Oifigiúil na hÉireann" ceased broadcasting. Its replacement, with new presenter Louise Cantillon, reuses the "Hit 30 na hÉireann" title - but it doesn’t use the official Irish chart, Most weeks, all of the “Hit 30” - whatever that might be - are played except for the tracks at number 24 and 14. And, despite what Wikipedia may inaccurately claim, it is currently aired on these stations, at the following times: Raidio Ri-Ra Listen at: http://www.rrr.ie/player.asx Station Website: http://www.rrr.ie Broadcast every day, 18:00 - 20:00 Beat 102-103 Listen at: http://www.beat102103.com/player_new.php Station Website: http://www.beat102103.com/ Broadcast at: Sun 08:00 - 09:50 (repeated 22:00 - 00:00) Spin103.8 Listen at: http://media.spin1038.com/listen_live/popup Station Website: http://spin1038.com Broadcast at: Sun 20:00 - 21:55 Spin Southwest (sister station to Spin103.8) Listen at: http://media.spinsouthwest.com Station Website: http://media.spinsouthwest.com/listen_live/popup Broadcast at: Sun 20:00 - 21:55 From the start of 2017 the Top 50 Singles, Top 50 Artist albums, Top 30 compilations and DVD charts have been published on http://www.officialcharts.com. Also worth checking out is http://www.irishcharts.ie which contains a fully searchable singles database going right back to 1962 when the first recognised chart was compiled (though there was a Top 10 published regularly from 1959). It is restricted to Top 30 hits but seems to be updated on a regular basis. This site also contains various other facts and figures and does have a certifications section though this is rather limited in content. Sales info is extremely hard to come by for Ireland and the only details that seem to appear are those mentioned from time to time in the chart-track commentary. No certifications are published in Ireland until the entire list of possible certifications for the previous year been submitted and verified. This list is published only once a year and refers always to trade deliveries made up to the end of the previous calendar year. Therefore, the 2017 certifications were published in 2018 - the 2018 certifications were published in 2019 etc. These were normally published along with the complete year end charts in the Hot Press Yearbook which is published annually. However the most recent editions dropped this section completely, presumably down to costs. Starting from the begining of January 2017 the OCC has been carrying the Top 50 Singles, Top 50 Artist Albums, Top 10 Compilations and the Top 50 DVD chart. The certifications can be found on the irishcharts website at the following link http://www.irishcharts.ie/awards/index.htm -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Many pre-2000 singles charts were posted on the UKMix forums back in 2006. Normally at this point I post the links here but in the past they have had a habit of becoming non working links. A while back we were able to create a sticky thread on UK Mix which contains all known links so if you want to click here >> https://www.ukmix.org/forum/chart-discussio...scussions-index <<< you should be able to find what you need. Any broken links now can be fixed in seconds so if you are having any problems accessing anything let me know. For any Haven or Buzzjack members I will add links to the annual threads in the respective 2024 discussions when I get a chance.

Wouldn't say that! After the number 1 the next non Christmas song is at 22. And only 1 other in the Top 30.

On the last few occasions they seem to have added it but previously it was hit and miss as to if the missing charts would appear. The contact us facility on the website doesn't work, the email addresses I have managed to find just bounce the emails back and the twitter account was taken over by the OCC a couple of years back and is also worthless. Luckily the new charts have appeared (eventually). I had noticed on Monday that when I clicked to see the singles chart it was asking me to select a year on the drop down menu rather than just showing the most recent chart so someone had obviously been working on the site. I happened to check again at lunchtime today and lo and behold there was the missing chart. And while it would be possible to work out part of the lower half from the last week positions on the next chart with all the Christmas songs in at the moment 34 of the bottom 50 were festive tunes and 25 of those were only in the chart this week so it would have been impossible to work out much.

Again Bruce Springsteen was played quite a bit, this time the final of his 3 Dublin shows from 2023 as I realised that it was a year exactly before I see him in Belfast (9th May). Also this week Jean-Michel Jarre did a live show and I dug out the Concerts In China album. Finally there were 4 new episodes of BBC NI's comedy show Give My Head Peace and as a result the theme tune returns the Saw Doctors to the Top 50.

A great show called Fairytale of New York (Coming Home For Christmas) which was a mix of Christmas songs and well known Irish songs. I picked up a copy of the cast recording CD afterwards and it and several of the songs have made this week's charts. Beoga may not be a name that will be familiar to many but their Top 30 entry this week will be. It was sampled by Ed Sheeran on Galway Girl and the band became good mates of his supporting him on one of his Irish tours. You can also see them if you watch his Live Lounge performance of Fairytale of New York. Completing the list of entries are a few Christmas songs including the new number 1 - this was an old song which wasn't recorded until the band reunited a few years back.
