Top 10 Albums (27/01/24 - 02/02/24)
01 07 Bruce Springsteen - Born In The USA 02 01 Dire Straits - Brothers In Arms 03 05 Bruce Springsteen - Letter To You 04 Re Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band - 2023/05/09 Dublin, IRELAND 05 02 Bill Whelan - Riverdance: 25th Anniversary 06 06 OMD - Bauhaus Staircase 07 Ne Amy Macdonald - This Is The Life 08 Ne V/A - Now Yearbook 88 09 04 Val Doonican - The World of Val Doonican 10 09 Abba - Voyage
Bruce bounces back to the top of the album chart! Finally got round to ordering the vinyl edition during the week and I gave it a few plays on Spotify along with one of the 2023 Irish shows which is on nugs.net. Also ordered with BITUSA was the new installment of the Now Yearbook series (1990) but I'm still playing catchup and put the 1988 version on during the week. Amy Macdonald is another one that popped up on a Spotify playlist and I dug out the vinyl re-issue of the album. A few current tunes have been growing on me in the last 2 or 3 weeks during the NI Hit 40 show. I had a listen to Absolutely by Madness as well and remembered how good the song Solid Gone is. Apache Indian is another random one - someone posted about it on a Facebook group and next thing I know it's inside my Top 10. Last Friday saw the Irish Eurovison selection. While I can't stand the winning song I checked out some of the previous entries and Et Cetera was one of the best in the last 20 years.

Top 10 Albums (03/02/24 - 09/02/24)
01 01 Bruce Springsteen - Born In The USA 02 02 Dire Straits - Brothers In Arms 03 03 Bruce Springsteen - Letter To You 04 Ne V/A - Now Yearbook 90 05 Ne Therapy? - Troublegum 06 Ne The Corrs - White Light 07 05 Bill Whelan - Riverdance: 25th Anniversary 08 06 OMD - Bauhaus Staircase 09 Re Bryan Adams - So Happy It Hurts 10 Re Showaddywaddy - Bright Lights
No change in the top 2 albums! Although I had both on cassette at the time and later upgraded to CD neither was something that I would play often. That has changed over the last couple of months as almost 4 decades after everyone else I have come to realise what great albums they are! During the week The Corrs and Therapy? both announced new Belfast shows so it was time to dig out some of their albums. Most of the other new entries on the tracks chart are from the latest issue in the Now Yearbook series - 1990 - which also makes the album chart.

OMD opened their UK and Ireland tour in Belfast on Tuesday which meant a good week chartwise. The same day the Saw Doctors announced a couple of new shows including one in Belfast. Finally I decided to move on from Brothers In Arms and gave Dire Straits' Best of.. a couple of plays.

Another week, another concert! This week it was the turn of Rick Astley. I finally got round to listening to the new Rod Stewart / Jools Holland CD during the week having collected my signed copy from HMV. With just 2 months before I finally get to see him live I dug out Bruce Springsteen's 5 record Live 75-85 set as well. The 2 new entries on the tracks chart from Harry Styles and AC/DC are also down to Rick as he performed both at his shows.

Top 10 Albums (09/03/24 - 15/03/24)
01 03 Bruce Springsteen - Born In The USA 02 Re Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band - 2023/05/05 Dublin, IRELAND 03 02 Rick Astley - Are We There Yet? 04 04 Dire Straits - Brothers In Arms 05 05 Bruce Springsteen - Letter To You 06 Re Saw Doctors - All The Way From Tuam 07 Ne Bruce Springsteen - Live In New York City 08 01 OMD - Bauhaus Staircase 09 Ne Bruce Springsteen - Born To Run 10 06 OMD - Punishment of Luxury
Although I have had the CD for years I've never really played Born To Run much but this week I gave it another chance after realsing that I was actually very familiar with most of the tracks from the various live shows I have been listening to. Ironically I was listening to one of those shows again when the news broke of the death of Irish journalist and broadcaster Charlie Bird who had been diagnosed with MND a couple of years ago. Charlie was a massive Bruce Springsteen fan and was actually at that very concert when Bruce dedicated Land of Hope and Dreams to him.
The most played track on the last day of the chart week was the new single from the Saw Doctors. That day was also the last day of Cheltenham and there was a horse called Pied Piper running in one of the races. The horse came in 3rd and I won a few pounds on it. That was another song that got a few plays that afternoon. Tiberius Minnows got a few plays during the week after seeing that it was 33 years that week since the single was released. Jason Donovan was a random play on spotify.

Went to Simple Minds on Tuesday and had a listen to the Street Fighting Years album beforehand. Also had a few plays of Lewis Capaldi after not having listened to it much recently. The Bruce Springsteen new entry is the first in what could be a regular series of one week stays. I discovered this week that every Monday they put a handful of shows up for free streaming on the nugs.net app. She Says by The Saw Doctors makes a high re-entry as I had been to see the stage show version of the BBC NI sitcom Give My Head Peace for which it is the theme tune (although not actually featured in the live show). The Shaky and Beoga tracks came up randomly on Spotify.

Monday saw another one week Bruce Springsteen gig available on nugs.net, this time From Detroit in March 1988. Much more up to date and permanent as I bought it as a download fromm the site is the opening show of the 2024 tour which was in Phoenix, Arizona on 19th March. The River was this week's selection from the Springsteen back catalogue. And 2 classic 80s album also chart this week - Lloyd Cole & The Commotions and Tears For Fears. Two tracks make massive climbs this week and in both cases it is mainly due to a concert I attended to mark the centenary of my old school. There were songs from each decade since the school opened and the one chosen to represent the current decade was Stick Season. One of the guest musicians was one of the members of Beoga who is a past pupil.

Top 10 Albums (30/03/24 - 05/04/24)
01 03 Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band - 2024/03/19 Phoenix, ARIZONA 02 01 Bruce Springsteen - Born In The USA 03 Ne Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band - Live From MSG 2023/04/01 04 02 Lloyd Cole & The Commotions - Easy Pieces 05 Ne Marillion - Misplaced Childhood 06 08 Dire Straits - Brothers In Arms 07 Re Ed Sheeran - Divide 08 Ne Beoga - Carousel 09 04 Bruce Springsteen - Letter To You 10 Ne Marillion - Clutching At Straws
This week's free stream on nugs.net was from the 2023 tour and became available exactly 1 year from the date of the concert. The latest live recording had a full week's plays and climbs to number 1. I had a listen to Ed Sheeran's Divide album for the first time in ages along with Beoga's mini album. And time to dig out a couple of Marillion deluxe sets.
Beyonce's new album was released and while I only listened to a small part of it I did like Jolene enough to chart it. Sinead Lohan's name cropped up on an internet forum and that lead to me playing her cover of Bob Dylan's To Ramona.

This week's Bruce freebie from 8th April 2014 didn't make it this week as I was listening to so much other stuff including someone else I'm seeing live next month - Bryan Adams makes a spectacular return to the charts. OMD are moving in and out at the minute and Black Star Riders have also made it back in to the album chart.
In the singes chart The Hooters debut with a song that I heard on a TV show during the week. It was a different Bonnie Tyler song that got all the airplay following the eclipse during the week but it was Holding Out For A Hero that I was listening to. The week saw the 35th anniversary of the release of Iron Maiden's Seventh Son of A Seventh Son and while the album narrowly missed out on the Top 10 a couple of the tracks did make the singles list. Dustin the Turkey made it onto one of my spotify playlists along with the Traveling Wilburys - it's possible that I'll be listening to the albums over the coming week.
