The Shaky Fan Charts 2024

[ShakyFan]

I've decided to start a dedicated discussion for this to save starting a new one each week. I'll repost the first few charts as well and add a few lines of commentary to each.

When I started I had planned to do a Top 30 tracks chart and a Top 10 albums list but as the weeks went on I increased the size of the tracks listing to a Top 40 and from mid June this became a Top 50! As you will see my tastes are quite varied so the chart will be a mix of old and new as can be seen in this first one.

The 2 Shaky albums (his most recent at that point) were being played in preparation for the upcoming release of Re-Set which was due at the end of April. A couple of the tracks from that album had been available earlier in the year and both made the tracks chart, as did a couple from the 2016 album, Echoes of Our Times. Earlier in the week I came across full YouTube uploads of episodes from the BBC's Multi Coloured Swap Shop. The Brown Sauce track at number 1 was actually the show's presenters and was featured in the 1981 Swap Shop Awards show and released as a single. The B-side of that single was the show's theme at the time - Hello Hello.

Abba's Voyage album got a few spins this week and a couple of tracks made the Top 40 as a result. I heard the Bryan Adams track playing in a local record shop at the weekend amd decided to check out the album on spotify. Sinead Lohan is a singer / songwriter from County Cork and released 2 albums in the 1990s before leaving the music industry towards the end of the decade to get married and bring up a family. Joan Baez was a big fan and recorded the title tracks of both of Sinead's albums - Who Do You Think I Am? and No Mermaid - for her album Gone From Danger. There's a great 2CD edition of that album which contains a bonus live disc with Sinead featuring on both of those tracks along with a cover of Dylan's To Ramona which she released as a solo single in Ireland in between her 2 album releases. The Shania Twain album I hadn't really played since it was released in February, so had decided to take a listen to that as well!

This chart was compiled on the day Shaky's Re-Set album came out. I had managed to pick up a copy on vinyl the previous day so by the time it came to compiling the chart on Friday evening The new songs were becoming familiar (the album has a playing time of around 31 minutes so I got to hear it many times). The other new entries on the album chart were Record Store Day purchases = the U2 one had been reduced to £31 in one of the RSD shops so I couldn't pass up on it at that price.

on 29th April I attended two concerts - in the afternoon I saw Irish band the 4 of Us before heading to the Biggest 90s Disco arena show featuring the likes of 2 Unlimited, Gala, Peter Andre and many more. As a result some of the acts made it into this week's charts - the debut from the 4 of Us made the album chart and a couple of the singles from it also charted. THe final day of this chart week was also the day Ed Sheeram's - was released and as a reult it edged it's way into the bottom of the album chart.

Sunday 7th May saw Showaddywaddy's 50th Anniversary tour reaach Belfast and 2 of their albums made an appearance on the chart. Bright Lights was one of the first albums my brother bought and I came across the vinyl copy during the week. Another 5th May release (Now Yearbook 1978) charted this week, I had only got that one on the day after release so it was to late to make the previous chart. I had been listening a lot more to the Letter To You album and a few tracks from that also charted. As for Mark McCabe, a week after the latest Biggest 90s show in Belfast next year's event was confirmed and Mark is on the bill for that.

10 08 Bryan Adams - So Happy It Hurts

Another week where I've gone to a show and the following chart has been heavily influenced by it. This time it was the Good Vibrations musical (based on the 2012 film). Also this week I purcased the official mp3 release of the second of Bruce Springsteen's three shows in Dublin. That got me listening to some of his other stuff as well. The Stiff Little fingers album was a limited edition vinyl release from their official store. Lewis Capaldi made it into the bottom end of the top 10 as I had a few listens to the album on Spotify when it was released on the Friday. Bubblegun is a strange one. Pat Kenny is atually track 2 on a CD single which I picked up in a charity shop in Dublin several years ago. It appears to have done nothing chart-wise and looks like it was their only single. Pat Kenny is a well known broadcaster in Ireland and was the second regular presenter of RTE's Late Late Show, more of which in next week's chart. Opera House was a single I had on 7" back in the 80s and I dug it out after seeing it mentioned on a discussion about the 80s charts during the week.

26th May saw Ryan Tubridy's run as the presenter of the long running RTE TV programme The Late Late Show come to an end after 14 seasons. The Strictly Fish single a dance version of the Chris Andrews hit of the sixties (and Late Late Show theme) was released back in 1999 when the original host Gay Byrne left. The follow up (which also makes a Top 10 appearance) samples another well known RTE theme - this time it's the sports show The Sunday Game. I had bought the picture disc edition of the Lewis Capaldi album on the Saturday, hence the string of tracks in the Top 40 and the climb to number 1 on the album listing. I had also heard Push It by Salt n Pepa somewhere and decided to listen to their album A Salt With A Deadly Pepa (yes I know it's not on that one but it's the album of theirs that I listened to constantly back in the day!). And finally Paul Wallace. A friend on Facebook, he had recorded this Billy Joel cover professionally with Elio Pace (check out his Billy Joel Songbook show if you get the chance!) and had decided to do a private CD pressing. He sent me a copy of the CD and I had been listening to it over the course of the week.

I have been doing commentaries for the previous charts but haven't got round to posting them all. I'm going to put them on during the week but time permitting from now I'll add them when I post the charts.

This week sees a major clearout on both listings and there's one reason for this. On Monday morning my favourite band announced their first Belfast show in six and a half years and ahead of the presale on Wednesday morning I was listening pretty much non stop to their back catalogue. This should have been a better week for The Proclaimers but just hours before the Saw Doctors announcement they had to cancel all their upcoming shows including Wednesday's Belfast gig. It's all about the concerts this week - Holly Johnson announced shows in Belfast and Dublin and as a result Americanos and Love Train both make the tracks chart. Snap are back in the chart because I've had the song in my head for most of the week thanks to hearing it constantly on the TV where it is currently being used in an advert for Tesco. And I've been listening a bit to the Paul Hardcastle set where the singles are the highlight, especially The Wizard which climbs to number 1. There is a link between it and two of the other songs in this week's chart. Busy Boy is the theme to the old children's television show Catweazle, Day Trip is a piece of incidental music from that show and the spoken bits of The Wizard are the voice of actor Geoffrey Bayldon who played Catweazle.

10 05 Saw Doctors - Same Oul' Town

Another week listening to the Saw Doctors and it shows with 20 tacks in the Top 50. Last week I focused on the regular studio albums, this week I moved on to some of the others including That Takes The Biscuit (a collection of b-sides and rarities), Live At The Melody Tent and the 2009 compilation "To Win Just Once".

Also doing well this week are Stiff Little Fingers. I had been to see them at their now annual show at Custom House Square in Belfast. One of the support acts was Glen Matlock of the Sex Pistols - 2 of their songs also make the chart this week.

And the Dua Lipa & Olivia Rodrigo entries come as a result of the release of physical editions of the singles.

I've been off work all week and not been listening to as much music as usual. Again on the album front it's been mainly the Saw Doctors taking the odd break to listen to Lewis Capaldi and a bit of SLF. There's an unseasonal new entry on the tracks chart at 30 following the discovery this week that the Irish Christmas number 1 from 1990 has finally made it onto the various digital platforms. The song was only ever available on cassette until the end of last year - there was a new version released for the 30th anniversary in 2020 but that was a limited download available from the website of the charity they were raising money for. A couple more tracks entering this week as they are in my head from listening to the Northern Ireland chart show on Sunday.
