Richie Kavanagh placed whereas John Lennon didn't?
I'd take this with a couple of shovel loads of salt personally - maybe find out what kind of people voted for this

15. Title: Aon Focal Eile
Artist: Richie Kavanagh
Label: Focal Records
Company: Focal Records
Year: 1996

Lol, should be number 1!

lardboy

Looks like sales rather than votes, as it's charts. Ireland, you should be ashamed.

holton

We had this thread somewhere else recently. But yeah, most of them would be in my worst top 20 of all time. What an embarrassment.

Wertz

lol this is based on what's spent most time at No.1 in the Irish charts, or on their amalgam of sales over that time or something....DJ Otzi is a personal hate of mine and that bloody ketchup song. I'm also a little pissed off that Bandaid 20 is in there but the 85 version didn't shift enough.

BTW why is this in the electronic forum?

Good question Wertz

Moved to Music.

I'm assuming this is based on sales

Pigman II

That can't be an accurate top 20 (if sales are the parameter)? Sales of singles have been declining for years now so surely an alltime top 20 would be full of hits from 20+ years ago?

slipss

Most single charts of the best selling singles of all time tend to be full of complete rubbish. This is because the main purchaser of singles tends to be 9-13 year old girls and because sales of compilations such as NOW! 41 ect count as singles sales for the singles included. Most people older than this would tend to buy whole albums and steer clear of those sorts of compilations. I would hope if you could find a list of the best selling albums in the Irish charts it would be a bit better. If anyone can find a list of the best selling albums please post link here, I had alook but couldn't find one.

I totally agree......the fact that I'm not Irish (well half I s'pose) makes me feel really good right about now:cool:

Definitely Guantanamo torture material :eek:

DJ Otzi oh christ

The Freeman

Title: Maniac 2000
Artist: Mark McCabe
Label: Abbeydiscs
Company: Abbey Dance Distribution
Year: 2000

god i hated that song with a passion:eek:

Tha Gopher

Mainiac 2000 at number 4? Utter bollix.

Should be number one! No, honestly, maybe its just those of us who were in the 12-17 group in 2000, but that tune is a fcuking classic I dont care what you say:D Mildly cheesy yes, but still classic.


Im sure alot of foreigners would be suprised to learn that despite the international success of U2/Thin Lizzy/Boomtown Rats/Boyzone/Keating solo none of them have had a single that breached the top 20 here. In fact, of the few Irish names on the list not one is a name known outside of Ireland bar Westlife (and Six and Mickey Harte arent even known here anymore. We will always remember Mark McCabe, and Kavanagh still pops up once in a while with double entendre laden dittys that appeal to Leitrim folk )

Wertz

I walked out of clubs a fair few times after they played maniac....it's that bad. How it could ever be termed "dance music" is completely beyond me....calling it cheese is an insult to cheese.

'That tune is a classic'
'We will always remember Mark McCabe'
??????????? :eek:

Have you lost your mind? Always remember Mark McCabe? I was actually lucky enough to have forgotten him until this thread reminded me of him and that truly awful 'tune'.

ZWEI_VIER_ZWEI

Indeed...classic my ****ing ass

Tar.Aldarion

I agree with the list.

thats what dillusional thinking looks like in word form

Evil_Bilbo

what is it anyway - top 20 bestselling singles ever released in Ireland?

It is pretty shameful if its true.

hiscan

its a sorry state of affairs

radioman

That list is essenitally the top 20 best selling singles form 1997 onwards, the guy behind the site was on radio a few weeks ago and he said the only realistic figures for chart sales in this country only go back to '97.

I would imagine songs like, say, 'Put Em Under Pressure' sold enough to get them in there

Dudess

Nobody over the age of 14 should have liked Maniac 2000. And if they did back then, they should hate it now.

Tar.Aldarion

I love that song now, it's so funny. Legend.
