Irish Chart Thread 2022

[Shakyfan]

The Ultimate Irish Playlist is currently on RTE1 TV. At over 2 hours long they're stretching out the top 20 but it would appear that they will have performances of all songs where possible So far we've had

17 Christy Moore - Ride On
18 Republic of Ireland Squad - Put Em Under Pressure
19 B*witched - C'est La Vie
20 Hothouse Flowers - Don't Go

The video of the number 18 was shown and Ride On was performed by Dana Masters

[Shakyfan]

At one point I think A Woman's Heart was the biggest selling album of all time.

[theMathematician]

Thanks a lot for the info! It's so cool to know! I wish there was official information for what the currently all-time best-selling albums are as 'Without Fear' and 'x' have to be very high on the list.

[beatlened]

Thanks for the info regarding x. Let's see whether Without Fear will be able to break that record!
Is x the all-time best-selling album in Ireland? With such a chart run, it must've accumulated some massive sales over time.

Very hard to say what the best selling album is. At one time I think that David Gray supposedly held that record. There's no doubt that the long running albums will have accumulated sales over the period but sales are way below what they used to be, even taking streaming equivalent sales into account.

I think it's only a matter of time (3 months!!) before Dermot Kennedy breaks the record for weeks in the top 10. Even if it falls out it will surely be back. So far it has had one week at No. 11 and the rest in the Top 10.

The Greatest Showman probably would own this record forever if it was allowed stay on the Artists chart. (99 weeks plus 148 so far in the Top 4 of the Compilations chart)

With most Top Tens known since the end of 1990 here's what I think are the albums with the most weeks in the Top 10 (up to this week 28th October 2022).

[beatlened]

Dermot Kennedy's 'Without Fear' is in the Albums Chart's top 10 for 159 (!) weeks now. That's surely an all-time record, and it has to be very high on the all-time sellers list as well.

Ed Sheeran's x has spent 172 weeks in the Top 10 and has never been off the top 100 chart since its first appearance in June 2014. It has been in the bottom 10 a lot lately so perhaps that long run is coming to an end

In a disappointedly misguided presentation, Blathnaid Treacy started the top thirty right at the beginning of the show, playing everything from 30 to 11 in the right order except this one, which went completely unmentioned:

56 23 Wolfe Tones - Celtic Symphony
,
At that point, she played the top five Homegrown hits:

Ne 05 Inhaler - Love Will Get You There
04 04 Bicep ft Clara La San - Water
02 03 Hozier - Swan Upon Leda
03 02 Belters Only - Call Me
01 01 Dermot Kennedy - Kiss Me

before returning to the main chart, but not repeating "Kiss Me" at number eight. Incredibly, she didn't seem to realise that there wouldn't be enough time to play the rest of the top ten before the end of the second hour, nor that the obvious solution would be to continue with them into the third hour. Instead, these two were not played at all:

02 03 David Guetta ft Bebe Rexha - I'm Good (Blue)
15 02 Oliver Tree & Robin Schulz - Miss You

and most of this one was squeezed in before nine o'clock:

01 01 Sam Smith & Kim Petras - Unholy

.....just so that she could spend the whole of the third hour playing a similar selection of random number ones from the last twenty years to those that have filled the first hour of the last few weeks' shows!

CLASSIC COUNTDOWN

22/10/22 1978 https://www.rte.ie/radio/gold/clips/11459352/

[CZB]

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.

Spin103.8
Broadcast at: Sun 09:00 - 10:55

Spin Southwest (sister station to Spin103.8)
Broadcast at: Sun 09:00 - 10:55

With effect from today, "Hit 30 na hÉireann" is moving to Sunday evening, 2000 - 2200 on these two radio stations.

It will be interesting tonight to see if they have the whole of this week's new show - the first two of the daily broadcasts on Raidio Ri-Ra have been missing the second and fourth of the six segments! Failing that, however, there is hopefully the usual late night Sunday airing on Beat 102103, which is normally complete - in contrast with their early morning broadcast, which increasingly has bits cut out to accommodate news bulletins and more commercials.....

CLASSIC COUNTDOWN

15/10/22 2001 https://www.rte.ie/radio/gold/clips/11457146/

A controversial ebtry in this week's singles chart courtesy of the Wolfe Tones. It's actually a re-entry having originally charted back in 1989 when it got as high as 14 and spent 3 weeks on the chart.

[Shakyfan]

According to Irish Charts this was a re-entry as noted here, on its second chart week. Do you have any record of the first appearance of this on the chart?
I can't find it.

Unless it turns up in something you might have it could be that it appeared in the bottom 50 on 17th June.

Well spotted! 3 appearances on my spreadsheet, the first of those being Week Ending 8th September 2022 (Week 36)

NI Hit 40 (Broadcast 02.10.2022)

I somehow managed to delete my recording of this one before listning to or saving it - it's been quite a while since I made that ind of mistake!



The complete chart runs of most of the hits leaving Ireland's Top 100 in the last two weeks:

REMIND ME - TOM GRENNAN 83 70 66 49 47 43 36 26 24 21 22 25 23 25 23 24 23 22 30 30 29 33 38 42

IF TOMORROW NEVER COMES - GARTH BROOKS 54

CALLIN' BATON ROUGE - BROOKS JEFFERSON 72

THERE'D BETTER BE A MIRRORBALL - ARCTIC MONKEYS 70 41 79

DRUGS FROM AMSTERDAM - MAU P 72 85

THE DANCE - BROOKS JEFFERSON 90

STAYING ALIVE - DJ KHALED, DRAKE AND LIL BABY 26 47 57 59 84 92

MASSIVE - DRAKE 07 05 05 05 07 11 14 15 18 21 28 83 94

BAM BAM - CAMILA CABELLO FEATURING ED SHEERAN
16 16 14 12 09 09 07 04 04 05 08 07 07 07 07 15 31 33 33 40 49 54 54 62 71 77 85 97

ATLANTIS - SEAFRET 97 100
____________________________________________________________________________________________

SUNROOF - NICKY YOURE AND DAZY 91 81 85 85 78 65 59 60 59 49 47 46 31 37 38 43 41 27 30 32 37 39 38

MARY ON A CROSS - GHOST 42 34 25 30 32 40

THE KIND OF LOVE WE MADE - LUKE COMBS 74 68

SHALLOW - GARTH BROOKS 38 87

DON'T STOP JUST YET - BELTERS ONLY FEATURING JAZZY
43 29 18 16 15 16 15 15 15 16 19 46 45 55 49 51 51 56 64 67 65 79 91 78 87 93

CAR'S OUTSIDE - JAMES ARTHUR 74 72 88 69 75 63 82 84 97

I WILL SURVIVE - BELTERS ONLY 26 17 15 14 14 15 18 19 21 22 24 29 29 88 98


I think we can see the increasingly slow-moving nature of the chart (apart from, of course, the ACR rule suddenly kicking in) in some of these - for example, the Tom Grennan hit spending fourteen consecutive weeks in the bottom ten of the top thirty, never going higher.....and one of the Belters Only tracks spending a period of seven weeks only ever at 15 or 16.

https://www.rte.ie/radio/2fm/clips/11452619/

In both shows, Blathnaid Treacy again spent the first hour playing old number ones, then the second and third hours playing all of the top thirty in the right order - in the more recent one, at least as far as the artists were concerned! After "Not over Yet" came on a few minutes early, and had to ba aborted, instead of the first Harry Styles song at number 22, she played "Late Night Talking" at that point and "As It Was" a little later on, when it was time for the number 18 - without ever admitting that these two songs should have actually been the other way round.....
