The Springsteen and Falco appreciation continued with some of their other albums and Beoga and the Traveling Wilburys were random selections as were the Zig & Zag tracks. Heard the latest Westlife single during the week and quite liked it.

This week he played the Empire Music Hall in Belfast and I was there. The live At the New Morning album was already in my collection but the other one I picked up at the merch stand after the show where I got to meet the man himself. The week's highest new entry on the tracks chart also has an Albert connection as he played on it and it's parent album Take One. Two of the Demon Hunters singles also made the tracks chart this week along with a random play from Spotify - actor Colin Farrell's cover of I Fought The Law which appeared on the Intermission soundtrack album.

Having given up on the rayo website I have recently taken to listening on radioplayer. I was actually slightly late tuning in last week but when I came in Pink Pony Club was already playing although it sounded like it was sticking in parts. Going back to record the first few minutes from rayo I found that the show started with a jingle and went straight to PPC. That was on the Cool FM part. On Downtown the recording started with the news which cuts out suddenly and then we get the number 39 jingle and it goes straight into Carry You Home. Evanna was back today and seemed to have calmed down a bit. One thing I realised was that she correctly played Purple Rain at 28 but on double checking it was actually When Doves Cry that Stuart had played as a future breaker. Both songs feature in Stranger Things apparantly but it's interesting that it was the one that was featured as a future breaker which failed to chart.

IRMA's review of the year. 2025 was another record-breaking year for the Irish music industry, with 13.2 billion audio streams, a 6% increase on 2024, and 60% since 2020. Of the most-streamed songs of 2025, Irish artists made up just over a fifth, with 22 individual tracks by or featuring Irish artists in the top 100. This is three times as many as 2024 and more than any other year this decade. Leading the charge is Limerick-based folk-trio Kingfishr whose song Killeagh is officially the most-listened-to track in Ireland for 2025, becoming not just the most-streamed song of the year, but the most-streamed song in any single year this decade. With nearly 27m streams, it surpassed hits like Noah Kahan’s Stick Season (2024, 26.5m streams), The Weeknd’s Blinding Lights (2020, 20m streams), and Miley Cyrus’ Flowers (2023, 19m streams). Released at the tail-end of 2024, Killeagh also managed to land the coveted Christmas #1 spot for 2025 following a surprise Toy Show appearance. Kingfishr have a total of seven tracks in the top 100 most-streamed songs of 2025, tied with country-superstar Zach Bryan for the most of any artist. Other Irish artists appearing in the top 100 include Amble, Hozier, Fontaines DC, Jazzy, and Kneecap. In total, sales from Irish artists made up 21.5% of the top 100. For the second year running, Taylor Swift had the biggest album of the year in Ireland, with The Life of a Showgirl proving to be an even bigger hit than last year’s The Tortured Poet’s Department, amassing over 20,220 physical sales, 1,083 downloads, and 21,444 album streams, totalling 42,747 album equivalent sales (AES). Despite robust sales across all formats, the album only narrowly beat Sabrina Carpenter’s Short n’ Sweet, which had 5,049 physical sales, 45 downloads, and 37,606 album streams (42,700 AES), and Noah Kahan’s Stick Season with 1,038 physical sales, 15 downloads, and 40,681 album streams (41,734 AES). Oasis saw an emphatic return to the Irish charts with three albums re-entering the top 30, including their compilation Time Flies at #7. Reverie, the debut album by Amble, was the biggest Irish album of the year with over 30,980 album streams, 335 downloads, and 7,623 physical sales. The album also produced four of the most streamed tracks of 2025, with Lonely Island, Schoolyard Days, Tonnta, and Mary’s Pub all making the top 50. These figures make it the biggest Irish album since Dermot Kennedy’s Without Fearin 2020, and surpassing that album’s streaming performance in a single year. Vinyl sales saw an increase in 2025, with 478,000 sold, a massive 20% increase on 2024, helped by strong performances from Irish artists and enormous sales for Taylor Swift. Releases by Fontaines DC, CMAT, Kingfishr, Amble, and Kneecap all appear in the top 10 vinyl albums sold last year. This was a marked improvement on 2024, which saw just two Irish artists in the top 50 (Fontaines DC & Hozier). Physical sales of CDs and even cassette tapes also saw a healthy increase of 4.5% and 64% respectively. Taylor Swift again tops the list for total physical albums sold by a large margin. On the home front, Fontaines DC’s Romance was the best-selling physical album by an Irish act for the second year running, and second-biggest overall, with over 7,795 sales across all formats. Releases by Kingfishr, Amble, and CMAT also appear in the top 10 for total physical sales. IRMA Charts – 2025 best sellers overall and most streamed IRMA ARTIST ALBUMS CHART 2025 – © IRMA 1.

Maybe because he's more my era than her it was nice to hear him after playing Kate Bush reminsicing about some of her other hits and how she was producing hits in the late 70s and early to mid 80s. We also had the return of the recaps. The show was also live - Stuart mentioned during the future breakers slot that the Nick Jonas track reminded him of something else - later on he revealed that the song he had been thinking of was Impossible by James Arthur which he told us had been confirmed by 2 listeners The sharp eyed will notice that I have listed Zara Larsson and Goo Goo Dolls as being new entries rather than re-entries. This is because although both are old tracks they would have been released in an era where there was no NI chart. In the 2nd section of the chart Stuart mentioned that Ed Sheeran was climbing with Camera and also that Gone Gone Gone was dropping a place which ties in with no new chart being compiled last week. There was a small error in saying that Shakira was the highest new entry at 17 when Tyla was making it's debut one place higher. Speaking of errors I discovered one of my own this week. Searching without luck for Kehlani I realised that I had mistyped it on it's original run as Khelani (and in it's first week as Kelani). Typos have now been corrected.

Somewhat bizarrely the only NEW entry on the artist album chart is Bing Crosby's Ultimate Christmas which arrives at 51.

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 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. 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 along with the Homegrown Chart. 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: www.rrr.ie/player.asx Station Website: 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 07:00 - 09:00 (repeated 22:00 - 00:00) Spin103.8 Listen at: http://media.spin1038.com/listen_live/popup Station Website: http://spin1038.com Broadcast at: Sun 10:00 - 12:00 (repeated Mon 01:00 - 03:00) 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 10:00 - 12:00 (repeated Mon 01:00 - 03:00) From the start of 2017 the Top 50 Singles, Top 50 Artist albums, Top 30 compilations and DVD charts have been published on www.officialcharts.com. Also worth checking out is 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 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 >> www.ukmix.org/forum/chart-discussion/chart-analysis/10872551-irish-chart-discussions-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 2025 discussions when I get a chance.

Chart runs for the Top 40 of the year! This was done by copy and pasting each one from my main spreadsheet and editing the non chart weeks out. There is a possibility that somewhere along the way that positions have been deleted in error but I'm 99% sure that this hasn't happened. One thing to point out is with regards songs which were on the Christmas chart announced on Sunday 21st December. To keep my spreadsheet with 52 weeks for the year I copied that chart's column to week 52 (ie: the week 51 chart remains for week 52) although I think in previous years there may have been a newly compiled chart which wasn't broadcast other than a couple of last week positions being announced on the first chart in January. This repeated chart will have the effect of a songs last 2 positions in it's chart run being the same if it was in the Top 40 on 21st December (Messy for example). 01 Alex Warren - Ordinary 39 34 X 10 9 3 1 1 2 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 2 2 2 2 4 3 3 4 4 4 4 4 4 6 9 23 23 02 Lola Young -

So this week we had the chart of the year and no surprise to see Ordinary at the top of the list. I have no idea how this chart was calculated but there is no way Westlife could have made the chart based on it's chart run of 19 - 32 - out. Evanna's Taylor Swift obsession is really irritating me now and she must have shares in the KPop show coming to the SSE Arena next year given the number of times she has mentioned it. Given that Kingfishr had already entered the chart last week I'm assumimng this was more a "potential big hits from Irish acts" thing. At the time of posting I have yet to hear the whole show as I was out during the afternoon and only tuned in around 4.30.

Whilst it wasn't a shock to see some further Christmas songs back there were a couple of surprise returns from Alex Warren and Lola Young. One new entry - Kylie doesn't seem to have grabbed the attention of local music lovers as much as elsewhere as X.M.A.S. arrives at 35. And no-one has told Evanna about Chris Ray yet! Next week will be the chart of the year.

The others were there last night but didn't show up when I searched. There was some roundabout way of bringing them up but unfortunately I have no idea what it was!

Is the acapella version of XMAS not on Amazon? Their search function is about as useful as a chcolate teapot. Took forever to find the extended and instrumental versions yesterday and only got them by pure luck.
