It got me realising that I haven't listened to her stuff in ages and over the following days I made up for that. Also during the week I rediscovered Boxed - a box set containing all 8 Eurythmics albums with bonus tracks and went for Be Yourself Tonight as I remembered my brother getting it on cassette back in the day. The final entry this week is the new album from J Lee and the Hoodoo Skulls. Jason Lee isn't the first member of his family to make my chart, in fact his father - Shakin' Stevens - is one of the albums leaving the chart this week.

They were playing in Belfast during the week and I was there in the front row. Before this they were joint 4th on my list of most seen artists (tied with Showaddywaddy, Bryan Adams and The Undertones on 6 shows). This time was slightly different as the previous occasions were to see Les McKeown's version of the band while this time it was Woody who was the link to the original lineup. The venue was the Ulster Hall which the band first played back in the mid 70s and famously part of the balcony collapsed during the show - something which Woody reminisced about during the show. Some old albums returning this week which I decided were due another listen and a new entry for Salt n Pepa's debut.

On Saturday 30th I had been looking at the events page of our local theate's website and to my surprise they have announced a show there for late April, their first appearance in that venue for 18 years. Also entering the tracks chart this week is the new single from Rick Astley who I'll be seeing in concert just before Showaddywaddy.

Bill Whelan and Ed Sheeran drop slightly there to make way for a new number 1 album but hold firm at the top of the singles list.

And joing them is The Essential Michael Jackson which was enjoying an impressive run having spent the last 154 weeks in the Top 100 (the majority of those being in the Top 40). However the bizarre rules governing which album "sales" are attributed to means that it drops out from number 18 to be replaced by Number Ones which returns at 12.

There are 5 in total and all have now made the top 10. CD1 - The original release from 1995 cD2 - The reissue with different track listing CD3 - 10th anniversary recording CD4 - music from the Broadway show CD5 - 25th anniversary recording Spotify brought up a new mix of Salt n Pepa's Push It this week and though I wasn't that impressed I was persuaded to go back and check out the original alongside the A Salt With A Deadly Pepa album. Over on the tracks chart there's a Riverdance related new entry. Back in 1981 Bill Whelan was involved in composing the music used for that year's Eurovision interval. It was performed on the night by Planxty and was later released as a single. Some older Ed Sheeran tracks enter following a new Spotify live session which was recorded live in Dublin and some of the curren hits on the NI Hit 40 also enter this week.

There was another one ordered at the same time but it didn't arrive until after the chart period so next week could see the same album taking up half the chart.

Having listened to the 25th anniversary edition of the Riverdance soundtrack I came across the 10th anniversary edition on CD and played that as well.

As a result several songs leap back up the chart and Raye re-enters with another current one (Man I Need) making it's debut. The Kingfishr track was everywhere on Irish TV and radio over the holidays and as a result it jumps back up to claim the number 1 slot. The new entry on the album chart was the free listen on nugs.net during the week.

The Best Christmas of Them All by Shaky climbs a few places to make it 5 festive tunes in the Top 10. This one was helped by the fact that I got it played as a request on one of the local BBC radio stations during the week.

The highest new entry though is from Kingfishr. Tickets for their 2 shows at the SSE Arena in June went on sale some time back but I hadn't thought about going until a work colleague mentioned it. The tracks chart has been taken over by the Saw Doctors after seeing them on 12th December and Riverdance which I saw on the 20th. Three Christmas songs in the Top 10 including the Top 2. The Ash song I saw performed live at their Belfast concert before checking it out on Spotify can't quite beat Kylie. I used to love her music back in the 80s and then lost interest but this is the best thing she has done in a long time. The various remixes released during the week as well as the coverage of the race for Christmas number 1 certainly helped too.

A busy week concert wise with a Christmas themed show on Thursday, the Saw Doctors on Friday and Ash on Saturday, hence the return of those 2 bands and some festive favourites. Also had a listen to Kylie's album on Spotify while waiting for the signed CD to arrive.

Coming into December it was time to listen to Shaky's Christmas album too. Singles wise I heard Kylie's festive offering and loved it. Even better I managed to get a signed copy of the album from Banquet Records minutes before they sold out.

The Taylor Swift tracks had been growing on me since first hearing them on the NI Hit 40 chart and this week both break into the Top 50.

Although this seems to be the definitive release with every single on it I already have it all several times over on previous compilations so I decided not to buy it. Again there were some albums which hadn't been played for a while and they were picked at random. And on the tracks chart I was playing some of Five's hit singles ahead of seeing them in Belfast on the Saturday.

Just over a month to go before Riverdance returns to Belfast I had a few listens to the most recent release of the soundtrack album.

While this version with duets and a couple of new songs is good I wouldn't rate it as highly.
