The Irish Chart Thread 2010

A new year and a new thread! And before the first new chart which will appear shortly 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. The main charts are the singles chart (a Top 50), the artist albums chart (a Top 100), the compilation album chart (a Top 30) and the download-only chart (a Top 20). The first 3 of these can be found at www.irma.ie while www.chart-track.com carries the Top 50 singles, Top 75 Artist albums, Top 20 compilations and Top 20 downloads along with weekly commentaries. A weekly airplay chart is compiled by Neilsen but since the middle of 2008 this has been unavailable to the public

For the last couple of years the first and only broadcast of the chart on radio has been on Sunday afternoons. Veteran presenter Larry Gogan had a 3 hour show between 2 and 5 and the middle hour was dedicated to the new chart, usually kicking off with tracks from the top selling compilation and artist albums, then a couple of tracks from other album entries or something from the lower end of the singles chart with the Top 10 played in order - though not necessarily in full. In December, however, RTE announced a brand new schedule to come into effect from Monday 4th January. This sees Larry moving back to weekdays - 3 to 4pm (Mon - Fri). Looking at the weekend schedules the only timeslot that they could put the chart in is sometime between 2 and 5pm on Sunday - Larry's current show - which is now to be presented by Nikki Hayes. The more likely scenario was for Larry to present the chart on Friday aftenoons but having listened to his first Friday afternoon show that is not the case. With no sign of a chart show on Sunday either that means that the only airing of the chart on Irish radio is the nightly broadcast of "Top 40 Oifigiúil na hÉireann" (Ireland's Official Top 40) between 6 and 8 pm on Irish language internet station Raidió Rí Rá. In the meantime there is a chart page on the 2FM website which is done in blog form with the new charts added on Friday / Saturday. It can be found at http://2fm.rte.ie/blogs/2fm_chart_blog/

For full archive charts from January 2000 onwards I would recommend the chart-track website as it contains all the weekly charts since then. The irma website seems to have added an archive section which can be found at http://www.irma.ie/charts_archive/overview.asp though this only seems to cover the Top 50 singles and artist albums of 2007 at present. The irma site also contains year end Top 20s since 2001. 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.

Many pre-2000 singles charts were posted on the UKMix forums back in 2006. Links to these and other Irish chart related topics can be found below

Chart Track Commentary

Bright Start to 2010 For Paolo

In the first chart of the New Year, Paolo Nutini has this week’s best-selling album with ‘Sunny Side Up’ which returns to No1 after seven months in the Top 40 since release in June last year. Meanwhile his first album ‘These Streets’ climbs from No26 to No12, marking a great start to the new decade for the Scottish singer/songwriter.

In the absence of any significant new entries, several of 2009’s critically-acclaimed releases return to the fray: Florence & The Machine ‘Lungs’ up from No12 to No5, Muse ‘Resistance’ up from No28 to No11, Imelda May ‘Love Tattoo’ up from No29 to No16 and a first appearance in the Top 20 for Mumford & Sons at No19 with 'Sigh No More', which was released back in October.

Joe McElderry holds at No1 on the Singles Chart for a fourth week with ‘The Climb’, but may face a challenge next week from two newcomers just below him. Dutch DJ Sidney Samson has the highest new entry at No3 with ‘Riverside (Let’s Go!)’ at No3 and Sean Kingston-protogé Iyaz debuts at No4 with ‘Replay’.

Chart Track Commentary

The Lady’s Back – but it’s Glee’s Week

Lady Gaga takes her ‘Bad Romance’ back to the top of the Singles Chart this week after an absence of 4 weeks during which time the single never left the Top 3. Although a very close contender for the top spot, Sidney Samson’s ‘Riverside (Let’s Go!)’ has to be content with climbing one place to No2 while Iyaz also takes ‘Replay’ up one place to No3.

The biggest presence on the Singles Chart this week, however, has to be the Cast from Glee as the hit U.S. TV series hits our screens. Six of their cover versions as aired in the first two episodes occupy the Top 50, the highest of which is their recording of Journey’s ‘Don’t Stop Believin’ jumping from last week’s No33 to this week’s No4. Journey themselves benefit from this exposure as their original version enjoys its highest chart position for two years as it climbs to No16 and has now had an astonishing 86 weeks in the Top 50.

Paolo Nutini holds at No1 on the Album Chart with ‘Sunny Side Up’ ahead of Florence & The Machine whose ‘Lungs’ climbs from No5 to No2 and Lady Gaga who drops a place to occupy the third slot. This week’s highest new entry belongs to Vampire Weekend whose second album ‘Contra’ enters the chart at No4 , a huge improvement on their self titled first album which entered the chart at No54 and took 6 months to climb to its peak position of No24. You Me At Six also see their second album outshine their first as ‘Hold Me Down’ enters the Chart at No24 – 2008’s ‘Take Off Your Colours’ failed to make the Chart.

Chart Track Commentary

Owl City Flying High

After debuting last week at No39 on just one day’s sales, Owl City (a.k.a. Adam Young from Minnesota) soars all the way to the top of the Singles Chart this week with ‘Fireflies’, adding Ireland to the impressive list of territories (including USA, Canada, Australia, Netherlands & Denmark) where the song has topped the chart.

Iyaz climbs one place to No2 with ‘Replay’, moving ahead of Lady Gaga’s ‘Bad Romance’ which drops from No1 to No3. It’s another good week for the cast of Glee who have seven songs in the Top 50, but there’s only one other new entry in this week’s Top 30 - JLS at No19 with their third release ‘One Shot’. Their previous two ‘Beat Again’ and ‘Everybody In Love’ reached No3 and No2 respectively last year.

Lady Gaga returns to the top of the Album Chart with ‘The Fame’ after a 42-week break, just one sale ahead of Paolo Nutini whose ‘Sunny Side Up’ slips to No2 after two weeks on top. There are two new entries in this week’s chart: Justin Bieber at No12 with his debut album ‘My World’ and Eels at No13 with ‘End Times’. This is Eels’ eighth studio album in 14 years, and all eight have made the Irish Top 50, including last year’s ‘Hombre Lobo’ which debuted and peaked at No24

Chart Track Commentary

Musicians Hope For Haiti

This week’s chart headlines are grabbed by the MTV Networks ‘Hope For Haiti’ project, raising funds for the victims of last week's devastating earthquake on the island. An all-star line-up of perfomers joined the telethon on Friday and their contributions were available online the next day.

Jay-Z, Bono, The Edge and Rihanna joined forces to perform ‘Stranded (Haiti Mon Amour)’ and downloads of the song amassed enough sales to debut at No3 on this week’s Singles Chart. Further funds are being generated by the digital album ‘Hope For Haiti Now’ which is this week’s highest selling album, debuting at No1 on the Compilation Chart.

Meanwhile Owl City takes a second week at No1 on the Singles Chart with ‘Fireflies’, while Lady Gaga and Paolo Nutini continue to wrestle for the Artist Albums crown. Last week just one sale separated the two in favour of Lady Gaga: this week the gap is 31 sales, and it’s Lady Gaga who retains the crown with ‘The Fame’ for a seventh week at No1 since release a year ago.

Shaky Fan's Commentary

2 Volumes of Glee Music in the album chart this week - the relatively low positions suggest that these are on import - I'm sure I saw the UK (and presumably Irish) release date set for around March/April??

The wonders of technology! A recording made less than 7 days ago has become the biggest selling album of the week. A rare type of chart topper in the compilation listing as it is a live album.

An update - last week's Top 10 Indie Artist Albums (well 80% of them!)

01 01 Vampire Weekend - Contra
02 02 Temper Trap - Conditions
03 03 Vampire Weekend - Vampire Weekend
07 04 Fleet Foxes - Fleet Foxes
04 05 Arctic Monkeys - Humbug
05 06 XX - XX
06 07 Coronas - Tony Was An Ex Con

10 09 Strokes - Is This It

Twins Peak

X Factor survivors John & Edward Grimes, better known as Jedward, seize the top spot on this week’s Singles Chart with their debut release ‘Under Pressure (Ice Ice Baby)’, teaming up with Vanilla Ice who reached No1 on the Irish Charts with his version 20 years ago. The Queen & David Bowie original reached No2 nearly 30 years ago.

Owl City’s ‘Fireflies’ drops to No2 after two weeks on top, ahead of Timbaland & Katy Perry who leap from No15 to No3 with ‘If We Ever Meet Again’ – one of two songs featuring Katy Perry in this week’s chart alongside ‘Starstrukk’ with 3OH!3 at No13. The next highest new entry is another Queen cover - Glee Cast at No10 with their take on ‘Somebody To Love’, one of five Glee songs in this week’s Top 40. The original version of the song was a No6 hit for Queen in 1976, although a Freddie Mercury tribute version with George Michael & Lisa Stansfield made it to No1 in 1993.

There’s no change at the top of the Album Chart for a third consecutive week, with Lady Gaga’s ‘The Fame’ at No1 and Paolo Nutini’s ‘Sunny Side Up’ at No3. Mumford & Sons hit a new chart peak at No4 for ‘Sigh No More', up from No6 seventeen weeks after the album’s release back in October 2009. Ke$ha has this week’s highest new entry at No8 with her debut album ‘Animal’, following her breakthrough No1 with Flo Rida on ‘Right Round’ and her solo No3 hit ‘Tik Tok’. Two well-received albums debut outside this week’s Top 10: Midlake at No15 with their third album ‘The Courage Of Others’ (their first chart appearance in Ireland) and Hot Chip at No17 with ‘One Life Stand’ (their follow up to ‘Made In The Dark’ which debuted at No9 two years ago).

More Help For Haiti

‘Everybody Hurts’ debuts at No1 on this week’s Singles Chart for Simon Cowell’s group of global stars, a charity project from which the proceeds will go towards helping the victims of last month’s Haiti earthquake. The song was originally released by R.E.M. in 1993 when it reached No6 in the Irish Charts.

Jedward drop to No2 after one week on top with ‘Under Pressure (Ice Ice Baby)’ ahead of Owl City’s ‘Fireflies’, down from No2 to No3. The Glee juggernaut shows no signs of slowing down, with two new entries for the Cast in this week’s Top 10 – ‘Halo/Walking On Sunshine’ at No4 and ‘It’s My Life/Confessions Pt II’ at No7 – making an impressive total of eight Glee songs in this week’s Top 50.

With Valentine’s Day approaching, Michael Bublé’s ‘Crazy Love’ returns to the top of the Album Chart after a five week break – the album’s seventh week at No1 since release last October. Paolo Nutini holds at No2 for a fourth consecutive week with ‘Sunny Side Up’, while Lady Gaga slips from No1 to No3 after a three week run at the top with ‘The Fame’. There are four diverse new entries in this week’s Top 20, the highest of which is André Rieu at No4 with ‘Forever Vienna’, a collection of Viennese waltz music. Five places behind at No9 are Massive Attack with their fifth studio album ‘Heligoland’, seven years after their previous album ‘100th Window’ debuted at No1. Sade returns with her first album in ten years ‘Soldier Of Love’, new at No12, well ahead of ‘Lovers Rock’ which reached No27 back in December 2000. Finally, Fionn Regan has the fourth new entry at No13 with ‘The Shadow Of An Empire’, the follow-up to his first album ‘The End Of History’ which debuted and peaked at No30 in October 2006.

No Pressure For Jedward

After causing scenes of mayhem at their Dundrum store appearance this week Jedward return triumphantly to the top of the Singles Chart, up from last week’s No2, to take a second week at No1 as the CD version of ‘Under Pressure (Ice Ice Baby)’ hits the shops. With sales levels far outstripping any of their competitors there can be no doubt of the Irish twins popularity on their home soil.

Despite a healthy increase in sales over last week, Helping Haiti’s ‘Everybody Hurts’ drops to No2 while Owl City holds steady at No 3 with ‘Fireflies’. This week’s highest new entry is another track in support of the Haiti Earthquake victims. Artists For Haiti, which includes an impressive list of over 80 artists, come together to record a new version of the 1985 USA For Africa’s ‘We are The World’. Recorded under the direction of the original producers, Lionel Richie and Quincy Jones, ‘We Are The World 25 For Haiti’ enters the Chart at No9 this week. The Glee Cast continue to maintain an impressive presence in the Top 50 with two new entries this week: ‘Keep On Holding On’ at No22 and ‘No Air’ at No29 bringing their Top 50 tally to six titles this week.

The Glee phenomena also dominates the Album Chart this week as ‘Glee – The Music Vol 1’ climbs from last week’s No41 to this week’s No1 on its official Irish release. Michael Bublé’s ‘Crazy Love’ drops a place to No2 while Paolo Nutini also drops a place as ‘Sunny Side Up’ slips to No3. Ireland’s The High Kings achieve this week’s highest new entry with their second album ‘Memory Lane’ which enters the Chart at No5 – a better debut than 2008’s self titled release which entered the Chart at No9. Owl City enters the Top 20 at No16 with ‘Ocean Eyes’ while Peter Gabriel achieves the only other new entry in this week’s Top 75 with his first album release for nearly eight years as ‘Scratch My Back’ enters at No22.

Still Gleeful

The Glee Cast hold at No1 on the Album Chart for a second week with their first volume of songs from the TV show, ahead of hardy perennials Paolo Nutini, Florence & The Machine and Lady Gaga at No2, No3 and No4 respectively – three albums which have collectively racked up a massive 132 weeks in the chart.

On the day that would have marked his 78th birthday, Johnny Cash has this week’s highest new entry at No5 with the posthumously-released ‘American VI: Ain’t No Grave’ – the Man in Black’s final recordings before his death in September 2003. This week’s only other new entry comes from Welsh singer-songwriter Marina & The Diamonds at No9 with her debut album ‘The Family Jewels’.

Jedward & Vanilla Ice take a third week at No1 on the Singles Chart with ‘Under Pressure (Ice Ice Baby)’, consigning Helping Haiti’s charity release ‘Everybody Hurts’ to a second week at No2. Jason Derulo has this week’s highest new entry at No3 with his second single ‘In My Head’, the follow up to last year’s ‘Whatcha Say’ which reached No5 in November. The latest incarnation of Sugababes has the next new entry at No9 with ‘Wear My Kiss’, the 22nd Top 30 hit single for the girl-brand in Ireland.

Chart Track Commentary

The Boyz Are Back In Town

Boyzone debut at No1 on this week’s Singles Chart with ‘Gave It All Away’, their 20th Irish hit single and their ninth Irish No1. Written by Mika and featuring lead vocals from Ronan Keating and the late Stephen Gately, this is the first release from their forthcoming studio album ‘Brother’.

Jedward & Vanilla Ice drop to No2 after two weeks on top with ‘Under Pressure (Ice Ice Baby)’, ahead of Rihanna who climbs from No6 to No3 with ‘Rude Boy’. Justin Bieber has this week’s highest new entry at No10 with ‘Baby’ (feat. Ludacris), beating his previous best ‘One Time’ which peaked at No31. Black Eyed Peas return to the chart with ‘Rock That Body’, up from No34 to No11 – their follow up to ‘I Gotta Feeling’ which was the second best selling single of 2009 in Ireland (behind Joe McElderry’s ‘The Climb’).

There’s no change at the top of the Album Chart this week with The Glee Cast taking a third week at No1 with ‘Glee – The Music: Vol 1’, ahead of Paolo Nutini at No2 and Florence & The Machine at No3. With two Top 5 singles under his belt, Miami R&B singer-songwriter Jason Derülo has this week’s highest new entry at No10 with his self-titled debut album. Ellie Goulding has the next new entry at No12 with her debut ‘Lights’, fulfilling expectations raised by her recent ‘BBC Sound of 2010’ and ‘Brits Critics Choice’ awards.

Chart Track Commentary

Oh Brother

Two years after their reunion at the end of 2007, Boyzone release their fourth studio album, and first in twelve years, ‘Brother’, and take it straight to top of this week’s chart – matching the No1 debuts for their previous three in the mid-nineties.

With The Glee Club slipping to No2 after three weeks on top and Paolo Nutini down one place to No3, Gorillaz have the next new entry at No4 with their third album ‘Plastic Beach’, just behind the No2 debut for ‘Demon Days’ in 2005 but well ahead of the No12 opener for ‘Gorillaz’ in 2001. The Chieftains & Ry Cooder have the third and final new entry at No14 with ‘San Patricio’, a collaboration which blends Irish & Mexican music styles to tell the tale of the San Patricio Battalion in the Mexican-American War 150 years ago.

Jedward and Vanilla Ice return to the top of the Singles Chart with ‘Under Pressure (Ice Ice Baby)’ for a fourth week on top, while Boyzone slip to No2 after one week at the summit with ‘Gave It All Away’. With the rest of the Top5 unchanged from last week and little significant movement in the Top 10, this week’s highest new entry is at No13 for Tinie Tempah with ‘Pass Out’ - already a No1 in his native UK. Train, who re-united last year after a 3-year break, have the next new entry at No19 with ‘Hey, Soul Sister’, their first Irish hit single since ‘Drops Of Jupiter’ which reached No33 in 2001.

Shaky Fan's Commentary - Extra

Apologies for the irregular updates over the last few weeks. I have working at something else and am pleased to announce that it is now ready! As I've mentioned in the past I have a number of audio tapes scattered around with recordings of the Irish Chart Shows. I now have the facilty to transfer these to my pc and (as of this afternoon) onto You Tube. It will mean editing out the commercials and songs but over the coming months I will be adding as much as possible. I've set up an account as ChartShowGolden and the first clip is on there now. To test the waters I just used a countdown of the Top 15 but I do have the full rundowns for that week and will update it soon. The first clip is at
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zxq8XGD50-Q and is from September 1997.

Chart Track Commentary

Double Top For Boyzone

Following their appearance on Friday’s Late Late Show, Boyzone climb back to No1 on the Singles Chart with ‘Gave It All Away’ - and with ‘Brother’ holding for a second week at the top of the Album Chart they’re the first artists to take the ‘Double’ since Lady Gaga back in February 2009 (‘Just Dance’ and ‘The Fame’). For Ronan Keating, it’s a second consecutive Mothers Day No1 album – his ‘Songs For My Mother’ took last year’s honours.

Lady Gaga and Beyoncé climb nine places from No11 to No2 on this week’s Singles Chart with ‘Telephone’ following the premier of the controversial 9 minute Tarantino-inspired promo video. This week’s highest new entry is at No14 for the independently-released ‘Cheltenham’ by The Favourites. Based on Petula Clark’s ‘Downtown’, the timely charity release features the vocals of Laura Critchley, supported by a chorus of celebrities from the racing world. The Glee Cast have the next new entry at
No15 with ‘True Colors’ – originally a No6 hit for Cyndi Lauper in Ireland back in 1986. The third and final Top 20 new entry is for Co. Cork family trio Crystal Swing at No18 with another independent release ‘He Drinks Tequila’ – a massive YouTube hit, since boosted by their Late Late Show performance on Friday.

After hovering in the lower reaches of the Album Chart for several weeks on the strength of imports, ‘Glee - The Music: Vol 2’ climbs to No2 this week with its official Irish release, while the first volume drops to No4. The next Top 40 new entry is at No35 for Sugababes with their aptly named seventh studio album ‘Sweet 7’. Their first release without final founder member Keisha Buchanan, this is their first album to enter the chart outside the Top 20 since their debut release ‘One Touch’ in 2000.

Shaky Fan's Commentary

Just 4 weeks after Glee The Music: Vol 1 climbed 40 places to no 1 in the artist album chart the follow-up moves up 40 places to no 2 and in doing so replaces vol 1 which drops 2 to 4. The arrival of Imagine and True Colours means that the show has now produced 20 Top 50 hit singles in just 14 weeks with between 5 and 7 hits in each of the last 10 weeks (prior to that it was just 1 entry - Don't Stop Believin'.

Chart Track Commentary

Ladies Ring The Changes

After 9 weeks in the Top 40 Lady Gaga and Beyoncé climb one place to the top of this week’s Singles Chart with ‘Telephone’ – a fourth Irish No1 single for Lady Gaga and Beyoncé’s sixth (four solo and two with Destiny’s Child).

Boyzone slip back to No2 with ‘Gave It All Away’, ahead of Rihanna’s ‘Rude Boy’ (up one place to No3) and Ellie Goulding’s ‘Starry Eyed’ (up three places to No4). Mumford & Sons move up twelve places from No22 to No10 with their second Irish hit ‘The Cave’, outperforming their debut ‘Little Lion Man’ which hits a new peak this week at No19 after 22 weeks in the Top 40. Dublin twins Heathers are the highest climbers in this week’s chart, soaring 14 places from No35 to No21 with ‘Remember When’, from their debut album ‘Here, Not There’. In a quiet week for new releases the only new entry comes from the Glee Cast with their twelfth hit ‘My Life Would Suck Without You’ at No29.

‘Glee - The Music: Vol 2’ repeats the No1 success of the first volume, replacing Boyzone at the top as ‘Brother’ drops to No2. There are two new entries in this week’s chart: Laura Marling at No13 with ‘I Speak Because I Can’ and Goldfrapp at No17 with ‘Head First’. For Laura Marling, this is her first showing in the Top 40 - her debut ‘Alas I Cannot Swim’ has yet to chart - but for Goldfrapp it’s four out of five. ‘Black Cherry’, ‘Supernatural’ and ‘Seventh Tree’ all debuted in the Top 30, the first album ‘Felt Mountain’ the only one to miss out on a chart placing.

Chart Track Commentary

All Quiet On The Chart Front

Lady Gaga and Beyoncé take a second week at No1 on this week’s Singles Chart with ‘Telephone’, heading a Top 10 which sees no significant changes since last week.

American duo Chiddy Bang is the only newcomer to the Top 10 with ‘Opposite Of Adults’ which moves from No13 to No10 after a steady 4-week climb up the rankings. The highest new entry of the week comes from Timbaland at No19 with ‘Carry Out’ (feat. Justin Timbalake) – he now has two concurrent Top 20 hits, with ‘If We Ever Meet Again’ (feat. Katy Perry) up from No7 to No5. Two brand new releases chart just outside this week’s Top 30: Scouting For Girls ‘This Ain’t A Love Song’ at No34 and Plan B’s ‘She Said’ at No35.

This week’s Album Chart sees even fewer changes than the Singles, with ‘Glee - The Music: Vol 2’ holding at No1 while the rest of the Top 10 shuffle positions behind it. The highest new entry is at No36 for ex-Turn frontman Oliver Cole with his first solo release ‘We Albatri’, while Dublin’s Redneck Manifesto follow close behind with their fourth album ‘Friendship’ new at No39 – their first full-length album in seven years and their first ever appearance in the Irish Charts (2004’s ‘I Am Brazil’ just missed out on a placing).


Shaky Fan's Commentary

No surprises on the compilation chart where Now 75 goes straight in at the top. What is slightly surprising is the performance of its predecessor Now 74 which spent its 1st 18 weeks within the Top 4 before plummeting 14 places this week to 18.

Riverdance is listed on the compilation chart as a NEW entry. I am assuming this is the original music from Riverdance collection that charted in the 90s (its on the same label) so I have classed it as a RE-entry.

While it isn't that unusual to see a single or album staying for 3 weeks in the same position (outside the Top 3) Taylor Swift's current run is quite amazing she now enjoys a 5th consecutive week at number 23 on the album chart.

On the singles chart Jedward are holding out quite well in comparison with their UK run as they spend a 9th week inside the Top 10.

Finally album chart fans might like to look out for a new thread looking at the Irish album charts of the 90s. Back then I used to write the charts as they were broadcast on RTE radio each weekend. In September 1990 the format of the show changed from a 2 hour programme counting through the Top 30 singles to a 2 part programme counting down the Top 20 albums in the 1st hour and the singles in the 2nd. The thread will include all charts that I have copies of though unfortunately there are a couple of periods where there are gaps.

Chart Track Commentary

Top Of The World

Justin Bieber takes the No1 crown on the Album Chart this week, moving up from last week’s No6, as ‘My Worlds’ - the expanded re-issue of his debut album - helps propel him to the top giving him his first ever Irish Number One.

‘Glee - The Music: Vol 2’ is pushed down into second place while ‘Glee – The Music: Vol 1’ remains at No3. Mumford & Sons are also non-movers at No4 with ‘Sigh No More’ while Lady Gaga’s ‘The Fame’ drops three places to No5. In a quiet week for new releases this week’s highest new entry is awarded to Jonsi – better known as part of Sigur Ros – whose debut solo album ‘Go’ enters the Chart at No15 while Rufus Wainwright enters at No37 with his sixth studio album ‘All Days Are Nights: Songs For Lulu’.

The Singles Chart sees no change at the top as Lady Gaga and Beyoncé hold firm with ‘Telephone’ and take a 3rd week at No1. Train’s ‘Hey, Soul Sister’ enters the Top 10 at No2 – up from last week’s No11 – while Timbaland’s ‘Carry Out’ (feat. Justin Timbalake) is one of the week’s highest climbers moving up to No3 from last week’s No19. Rihanna’s ‘Rude Boy’ drops a place to No4 as Jedward turn around with ‘Under Pressure (Ice Ice Baby) and rise two places to complete the Top 5. Usher feat. Will.I.Am also makes a good climb up the Chart from No42 to No11 with ‘OMG’ while this week’s Chart contains only two new entries. Paramore enter at No31 with ‘The Only Exception’ – only their second time in the Top 50 – 2009’s ‘Ignorance’ just dented the Chart reaching No49 and Taio Cruz Feat. Ke$ha debuts with ‘Dirty Picture’ at No42.

Chart Track Commentary

Mumford & Sons Need Sigh No More

Having been a constant presence in the Album Chart since its release last October, Mumford & Sons’ debut album ‘Sigh No More’ finally climbs to the top of the Album Chart this week having been stuck on the No4 position for the last three weeks. Florence & the Machine, who have also been a permanent fixture in the Top 75 since their debut release last July, move up the chart this week as ‘Lungs’ climbs from No6 to No2. Leading a trio of new releases in the Top 20, MGMT take this week’s highest new entry with their second album ‘Congratulations’ which enters the chart at No5. –2008’s ‘Oracular Spectacular’ peaked at No5 four weeks after its physical release. Also both launching their second albums are Plan B who enter the Chart at No9 with ‘The Defamation Of Strickland Banks’ - their 2006 debut ‘Who Needs Actions When You Got Words’ failed to chart – and Scouting For Girls who enter at No 11 with ‘Everybody Wants To Be On TV’ – a match for 2007’s self titled album which peaked at No11.

Lady Gaga and Beyoncé’s ’Telephone’ holds on to an extremely narrow lead this week to take a 4th week at No1 on the Singles Chart. Hot on their heels at No2, up from last week’s No11 is Usher Feat. Will.I.Am with ‘OMG’ while Train drop a place to No3 with ‘Hey, Soul Sister’. Scouting For Girls move up from last week’s No27 to No4 while Timblaland’s ‘Carry Out’ drops a place to No5. American actress and singer Selena Gomez makes her first ever appearance in the Irish Top 50 along with her band -
The Scene – as ‘Naturally is this week’s highest new entry at No7.

Shaky Fan's Commentary

Volume 2 by She & Him is listed on the Irma website as climbing from 19 to 1 and being on it's 2nd week.

Chart Track Commentary

Glee Cast Gives You Hell

This week's Singles Chart sees the Glee Cast rising from last week's No25 to the top with ‘Gives You Hell’, taken from the latest televised episode. Despite having now had an unprecedented 28 tracks in the Top 50 since the beginning of the year the coveted No1 spot has until now remained out of their reach – both ‘Don’t Stop Believing’ and ‘Halo/Walking On Sunshine’ made it to No4 – their previous highest position.

Usher Feat. Will.I.Am remain at No2 with ‘OMG’ while 2008 X-Factor Semi-finalist, Diana Vickers, launches her recording career and sees her debut single ‘Once’ enter the Chart at No3 as this week’s highest new entry. Train drop a place to No4 with ‘Hey, Soul Sister’ while Lady Gaga and Beyoncé’s ’Telephone’ drop from last week’s No1 to No5.

The Album Chart also sees a change at the top this week as AC/DC go straight to No1 with ‘Iron Man 2’. Essentially a compilation album from a band infamous for not releasing greatest hits packages it was devised as the soundtrack to the upcoming film of the same name. Their last release in 2008 – ‘Black Ice’ – also made it to the top of the Chart. Mumford & Sons’ ‘Sigh No More’ drops a place to No2 while Florence & The Machine also drop a place as ‘Lungs’ slides from No2 to No3. Paul Weller releases his 10th solo studio album this week – ‘Wake Up The Nation’ – which enters the Top 10 at No8 – two places behind 2008’s ’22 Dreams’ which debuted at No6.

Selena Gomez & The Scene provide the third new entry in the Top 20 as their debut album ‘Kiss & Tell’ enters the Chart at No14.

Shaky Fan's Commentary

For the first time in ages IRMA have published the entire Top 20 Indie Artist Albums so I have posted the full chart - hopefully this is a permanent thing and not something they're going to keep changing.

Comparing this week's chart info with my spreadsheet I've spotted the following:

Heathers - Here, Not There 3 weeks on the chart somewhere between 11 and 20 on it's 1st week, number 14 this week
She & Him - Volume 2 Complete chart run 19 - 1 - 3
James Vincent McMorrow - Early In The Morning According to the spreadsheet this has a run of 5 6 x x x x x 20. As it is on it's 5th week in the Top 20, after dropping from 6 it must have spent 2 of those first 4 weeks between 11 and 20.

Glee's 24 place climb places it within the Top 10 climbs to no 1 on the singles chart. The updated list reads as follows:

01: BECAUSE I GOT HIGH Afroman (46 to 1, 2001)
02: WHERE IS THE LOVE Black Eyed Peas (45 to 1, 2003)
03: FIREFLIES Owl City (39 to 1, 2010)
04: WHEN LOVE TAKES OVER David Guetta and Kelly Rowland (36 to 1, 2009)
05: CARAVAN OF LOVE Housemartins (29 to 1, 1986)
06: IT WASN'T ME Shaggy (29 to 1, 2001)
07: TIME TO SAY GOODBYE Sarah Brightman and Andrea Bocelli (26 to 1, 1997)
08: THE SAINTS ARE COMING U2 and Green Day (25 to 1, 2006)
09: WE MADE YOU Eminem (25 to 1, 2009)
10: GIVES YOU HELL Glee Cast (25 to 1, 2010)

11: EVERY BREATH YOU TAKE Police (23 to 1, 1983 - first from below the top twenty)
12: AIN'T NO DOUBT Jimmy Nail (22 to 1, 1992)
13: FEET ON THE GROUND Hothouse Flowers (21 to 1, earlier in 1988)
14: A GROOVY KIND OF LOVE Phil Collins (21 to 1, 1988)
15: THE WAT YOU MAKE ME FEEL Michael Jackson (20 to 1, 1987)
16: THAT'S WHAT I LIKE Jive Bunny and the MasterMixers (20 to 1, 1989)
17: IRREPLACEABLE Beyonce (20 to 1, 2006)
18: TWO TRIBES Frankie Goes To Hollywood (19 to 1, 1984)
19: PERFECT Fairground Attraction (19 to 1, 1988)
20: I KNEW YOU WERE WAITING George Michael and Aretha Franklin (18 to 1, 1987)

21: EBONY AND IVORY Paul McCartney featuring Stevie Wonder (17 to 1, 1982
.........the first climb to number one from the bottom half of the top thirty)

It probably helps that in Ireland Glee is shown on one of the 4 terrestrial channels - TV3 - at 8pm on Wednesdays!

Chart Track Commentary

Usher Pips Glee

After two weeks in the runner-up spot, Usher climbs to the top of the Singles Chart this week with ‘OMG’ (feat. Will.i.am) – his tenth Irish hit single and second No1, six years after reaching the top with ‘Yeah!’.

The Glee Cast leap seventeen places from No19 to No2 with Madonna’s ‘Like A Prayer’, while their ‘Gives You Hell’ travels in the opposite direction, down nine places from No1 to No10. James O’Connor & Audrey Trainor have this week’s highest new entry at No9 with ‘Falling Up’, released across seven versions covering a range of genres. Cathy Davey has the next new entry at No17 with her independently-released ‘Little Red’ – her first Irish hit single despite both albums making the Top 30. Nashville country music group Lady Antebellum have the third and final Top 20 new entry with their US triple-platinum single ‘Need You Now’ new at No18.

AC/DC’s ‘Iron Man 2’ soundtrack holds at No1 on the Album Chart for a second week, ahead of a resurgent Lady Gaga who jumps from No7 back to No2 with ‘The Fame’. Glee’s ‘The Power Of Madonna’ is this week’s highest climber, up seventeen places from No22 to No5, which means there are now three Glee albums in the Top 10 – Volume 1 is at No8 and Volume 2 is at No9. Josh Ritter has this week’s highest new entry at No7 with his seventh album ‘So Runs The World Away’, his fourth Irish Top 10 album following ‘Hello Starling’ (2003), ‘The Animal Years’ (2006) and ‘The Historical Conquests Of’ (2007). Usher has the next new entry at No17 with his sixth studio album ‘Raymond v Raymond’, the follow-up to ‘Here I Stand’ which debuted at No2 in May 2008.

Shaky Fan's Commentary

This weekend sees the 3000th Singles chart in the UK. In Ireland we have the 200th Download chart - look out during the week as I'll be posting a history of its no 1s.

A correction on the compllation chart where I've discovered that I was getting the Twilight and Twilight: New Moon soundtracks mixed up. I will edit the affected posts asap but for now the last 5 weeks for the New Moon album should read 10 9 9 19 - 28. The Twlight OST was at no 22 in the first of those weeks.

Any fans of Josh Ritter - who has the highest entry on the album chart - can grab 5 free tracks if they're quick from http://www.hotpress.com/joshritterweek/index.php

Finally - not directly connected to the charts - but one of Irelands top broadcasters Gerry Ryan died suddenly on Friday morning. 2FM for whom Gerry presented a daily morning show changed its output heavily to reflect this when the news broke during the afternoon and it will be interesting to see if this has any effect on next week's chart.

Chart Track Commentary

AC/DC Rock On

AC/DC make it three weeks in a row at No1 on the Album Chart with the ‘Iron Man 2’ soundtrack – the first rock album to take three weeks at the top since Kings of Leon’s ‘Only By The Night’ back in October 2008 (which was deposed by AC/DC’s ‘Black Ice’ after four weeks at No1).

With her debut single ‘Once’ still in the Top10 after 3 weeks, X Factor semi-finalist Diana Vickers has this week’s highest Album Chart new entry at No7 with her debut ‘Songs From the Tainted Cherry Tree’. Similarly, Lady Antebellum follow up a debut hit single with a strong new entry on the Album Chart for ‘Need You Now’, new at No12.

Usher takes a second week at No1 on the Singles Chart this week with ‘OMG’ (feat. Will.i.am), with a narrow lead over Train who climb from No4 to No2 after eight weeks in the chart with ‘Hey, Soul Sister’. Lady Antebellum follow at No3 with ‘Need You Now’, up fifteen places from last week’s No18 debut. Mika and RedOne have this week’s highest new entry at No8 with ‘Kick Ass (We Are Young)’, the title track from the movie and Mika’s seventh Irish hit single. The Glee Cast have the next new entry at No14 with ‘Total Eclipse Of The Heart’, the fourth version of this song to chart in Ireland: Bonnie Tyler’s original version made No1 in 1983, Nicki French’s cover reached No15 in 1995 and Jan Wayne took her version to No24 in 2003.

Shaky Fan's Commentary

Something fairly unique on the album chart as the Glee cast occupy 3 consecutive places with their 3 albums.

Chart Track Commentary

Slow Train Pulls In At The Top

San Francisco rock band Train complete a 10-week journey to the top of the Singles Chart this week, up from No2 to No1 with ‘Hey, Soul Sister’ – nine years after their previous hit ‘Drops Of Jupiter’ peaked at No33.
Usher and will.i.am drop one place to No2 after two weeks at No1 with ‘OMG’, ahead of the Glee Cast who leap from No14 to No3 with ‘Total Eclipse Of The Heart’, their 17th Top 30 single in less than five months, although only two others have performed better: ‘Like A Prayer’ (No2) and ‘Gives You Hell’ (their only No1 to date). Alexandra Burke climbs twelve places from No16 to No4 with ‘All Night Long (feat. Pitbull)’ – her fourth Top 10 single in Ireland. Jason Derulo has this week’s highest new entry at No5 with his third single ‘Ridin’ Solo’, the follow up to ‘In My Head’ which reached No3 and ‘Whatcha Say’ which peaked at No5. Two versions of the same song ‘Stereo Love’ debut in this week’s chart: DJ Team’s cover version is at No8 and Edward Maya & Vika Jigulina are new at No17 with the original.

There’s a close fought battle at the top of the Album Chart this week and Cathy Davey emerges the winner, debuting at No1 with her independently-released third album ‘The Nameless’. This marks a huge improvement on the previous two: ‘Something Ilk’ peaked at No28 in 2004 and ‘Tales Of Silversleeve’ reached No24 in 2007. AC/DC’s ‘Iron Man 2’ soundtrack slips to No2 after three weeks at No1, just ahead of The National who debut at No3 with their fifth album ‘High Violet’ – the previous album ‘Boxer’ is their only other Irish chart entry to date, with a No31 debut and peak in 2007.

(Still In Top 50)

Look out next week for a strong re-entry for Ireland's Eurovision entry from Niamh Kavanagh. The physical single was released on Friday with an appearance on the Late Late Show that evening.

And finally an error on the irishcharts.ie website which appears to have missed Train's Drops of Jupiter from it's database. It's full run was as follows:

Chart Track Commentary

Day Of The Jackal

Conor O’Brien’s Villagers debut at No1 on this week’s Album Chart with their first full-length release ‘Becoming A Jackal’ – and for the first time in recent chart history it’s back-to-back debuts at the top for Irish artists on independent labels, following Cathy Davey’s No1 with ‘The Nameless’ last week.

Justin Bieber climbs three places to No2 with ‘My Worlds’ and Lady Gaga is back up four places to No3 with ‘The Fame’. The next new entry is at No9 for LCD Soundsystem with their third, and allegedly final studio album ‘This Is Happening’, an improvement on their eponymous debut which charted at No17 in 2005 and the follow-up ‘Sound Of Silver’ which charted at No14 in 2007. The Rolling Stones classic ‘Exile On Main Street’ returns to the Top 20 at No14, re-issued 38 years after the original release in 1972. This is the Stones’ first chart appearance since their Scorsese-directed live album ‘Shine A Light’ reached No10 two years ago.

Alexandra Burke climbs three places from No4 to No1 on the Singles Chart with ‘All Night Long’ (feat. Pitbull) – her third Irish No1 from four releases, following ‘Hallelujah’ and ‘Bad Boys’. Plan B’s ‘She Said’ leaps seven places from No9 to No2, boosted by his Late Late Show performance last Friday, leapfrogging Train (down to No3 after one week on top) and Usher (down from No2 to No4). American rapper B.O.B. has this week’s highest new entry at No7 with his debut single ‘Nothin On You’ (feat. Bruno Mars).
