IRELANDER'S HOT 100 - Mon 22/1/18 Edition No.428 Songs retire at 75 weeks
So I'm finally back home to do charts, albeit still a challenge because of EOY commitments. (News on that front - my broadcast will be Friday 9 February). We have a new #1 too, with Protomartyr knocked off the top after just 3 weeks with "Half Sister". Victorian producer JANEVA delivers the first Australian #1 of the year with "Humble Beginnings".
"Rollinem 7's" is legitimately my seventh favourite song of the week - that's not a misprint. N.E.R.D & André 3000 come up with one of the album's best cuts, coming in as N.E.R.D's 4th entry to date, and 3000's 3rd entry.
Makthaverskan managed a decent hit in "Eden" on the chart in 2017, and although I knew and liked "In My Dreams", it was just so similar that I couldn't bring myself to chart them both at once. But now with a bit of space, I can hopefully give this a deserving run, with the Swedes coming in at #52.
And this song is less than a week away from becoming a whole lot more talked about. Gang Of Youths now have 6 entries spanning across the past 5 years, and come in at #61 with "Let Me Down Easy".
Another Scandinavian artist entering the chart this week, this time with Norwegian duo Smerz, who come in for their first entry with the spooky "Have fun" at #81.
I don't know why I was surprised to learn that Wild Honey hail from Sydney, but I guess there's nothing overly specific about this. It's breezy indie rock done well which really is irish bait. They come in at #84 with "In Your Head".
I've been giving this a real chance over the summer and finally Angel Olsen has something to back up her 2016 "MY WOMAN" record, besides the feature she had on an Hamilton Leithauser track last year. Her 4th entry "Fly On Your Wall" comes in at #92.
And lastly, as I continue to revisit 2017 I was shocked to not get more out of Fleet Foxes in the year. "If You Need To, Keep Time On Me" is quite lovely though and it comes in at #96, the band's 5th entry to date.

IRELANDER'S HOT 100 - Mon 29/1/18 Edition No.429 Songs retire at 75 weeks
I must say that as I am busy af I will be speeding through these this week...
Getting some surprisingly prolonged chart success are Everything Everything, who come in with their fourth entry from their latest album. "Night Of The Long Knives" comes in at #23.
There was this big countdown thingy the other day so 4 of today's 8 entries are relevant to that lol. The first of which comes from Queensland outfit Ball Park Music whose first entry from eight years ago "Sea Strangers (I Don't Really Know You)" is still their highest peaking (#3) entry to date. Could "Exactly How You Are" change that? Their ninth entry to date comes in at #29.
Quite probably the youngest artist to ever make my chart, Billie Ellish debuts at #33 with her H100 smash "bellyache".
Among all the chaos there is a Franz Ferdinand album coming out soon! Their second single from it "Feel the Love Go" comes in at #52.
One of Saturday's biggest surprises was Sydney band Ocean Alley and the excellent "The Comedown". The band's first ever entry comes in at #60.
Just the second ever artist to chart from the Northern Territory! Following in Jessica Mauboy's footsteps is Arnhem Land's Baker Boy, who enters at #65 with the very fun "Marryuna".
A band that has enjoyed very mild success on my chart. WA band Tired Lion follow up #96-peaker "I Don't Think You Like Me" and #84-peaker "Agoraphobia" with the powerful rocker "Japan" at #79.
Three entries now for What So Not as well, and the first ever entry for ex-Silverchair frontman Daniel Johns on the chart! "Be Ok Again" is a banger and it bangs in at #81.

IRELANDER'S HOT 100 - Mon 5/2/18 Edition No.430 Songs retire at 75 weeks
Shameless plug for my EOY this Friday night 5pm!
"Humble Beginnings" has now spent as much time as "HUMBLE." at #1 on my chart with three uninterrupted weeks. Pressure rises from N.E.R.D who move to #2 with "Rollinem 7's", whilst Tusky get a new peak into the top 5 for the first time with their long-titled track at #5.
With two previous entries to their name, BROCKHAMPTON manage their top 20 hit with "HOTTIE" at #12.
Now for some actual 2018 music (besides Franz last week), we have the new Drake track "God's Plan" at #44.
And the first 2018 song I heard, the collaboration "All the Stars" by Kendrick Lamar and SZA coming in at #54. Of course this was going to be the way SZA would make her first appearance on this chart

No BOOGIE yet? :thinkingemoji: God's Plan is good and All The Stars is certainly growing a lot on me recently. Good to see bellyache and Marryuna up this week.
IRELANDER'S HOT 100 - Mon 19/2/18 Edition No.432 Songs retire at 75 weeks
Five weeks for JANEVA is the equal-second most for any song by a Victorian, equalling Children Collide's "My Eagle" and being just one week behind Midnight Juggernauts' haul of six for "Ballad of the War Machine". She faces tough competition though with Migos debuting at #2 and a number of new tracks making big moves into the top 10.
As mentioned, a song with a great video (though not as great as the videos for "God's Plan" or "King's Dead" incidentally) but with some of Migos' catchiest lines to date. At #2 is the group's fourth entry to date with the excellent "Stir Fry".
While it sounds like a pale imitation of "Starboy" there's plenty about "Pray For Me" that I quite enjoy. The Weeknd (5th entry) and Kendrick Lamar (37th) collaborate on the track from the new Black Panther soundtrack, and it comes in at #45.
Quite an interesting deep cut from the N.E.R.D album debuting this week, somewhat continuing the Pharrell theme. Like a number of its counterparts, "Voilà" has an outro/end section which totally changes up the tempo and beat. The track by N.E.R.D (5th entry), Gucci Mane (3rd) and Wale (2nd) debuts at #51.
And lastly another album track with one King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard's latest offering "Gumboot Soup". While it is their vastly inferior ode to sleep, "I'm Sleepin' In" is the band's 16th entry to date which span across 6 different albums, and it comes in at #94 to close out the week.

IRELANDER'S HOT 100 - Mon 26/2/18 Edition No.433 Songs retire at 75 weeks
In a way "Stir Fry" seemed somewhat destined for the #1 spot, with JANEVA losing momentum and seeing "Humble Beginnings" slip to #2. It's Migos' first #1 on the chart, with their previous entries including #7-peaker "Bad and Boujee", #76-peaker "Bon Appétit" and #82-peaker "T-Shirt" (with Offset having also charted through 3 "Without Warning" tracks including #4-peaker "Ghostface Killers"). Jay Rock and team move to #3 with "King's Dead" causing N.E.R.D & Future to move down a spot with "1000".
U.S. Girls is the project led by the prolific Meghan Remy, who has eight releases under her belt in the last ten years. She rounds out the top five with a debut for the delightful "Rosebud", her first ever entry at #5.
Most people who paid any attention to the Australian charts in the late 2000s should be able to pinpoint which of their early hits The Presets were trying to imitate here. However, it is a fresh spin on the idea of a Presets banger, and it's one that I could really see helping them evolve into a new era. "14U+14ME" is the duo's 11th entry to date coming at #12, their third highest peak to date only behind "Ghosts" and "Anywhere".
There's something quite special about eclectic group Superorganism, and with an album on the way later this week their second entry "Everybody Wants To Be Famous" comes in at #17.
I was pleasantly surprised with North Carolina duo Sylvan Esso's new single, with the cleverly titled but annoying to type "PARAD(w/m)E" coming at #27.
Courtney Barnett is in very elite company as being one of three artists I've seen live multiple times (Pearl Jam and The Vasco Era being the other two). Although I did like her debut album, I thought it could be have given much more, which is why I'm quite interested to see what her upcoming album will sound like. For her 9th entry to date, "Nameless, Faceless" comes in at #31.
I've not bothered to check for accuracy but Franz Ferdinand would be one of very few artists - of those that released music from the past decade that I like - who have more EOY entries (50) than chart entries (30). Of course those sort of statistics are equally unsurprising and ridiculous. The 30th is "Finally" from their latest record, and it comes in at #35.
This song definitely falls into the so-delicate-that-it's-hard-to-properly-chart-it-but-it's-so-powerful-I-can't-not category, which was somewhat surprising for the usually rough King Tuff. The project of Kyle Thomas has appeared twice on my chart before and now "The Other" is the 3rd coming at #45.
I don't recall getting into any of her 2015 material but Sarah Blasko is making up considerable ground with her album released last week, scoring an EOY spot and now a second chart entry. Coming at #52 is her 5th entry to date titled "A Shot".
In a very competitive week for debuts, Unknown Mortal Orchestra bring up the rear. My following of this band has been quite scattered over the years but perhaps a new album will get me excited, as they come in with their 4th entry "American Guilt" at #71.

Good to see debuts for Stir Fry, Pray For Me, 14U + 14ME, Everybody Wants To be Famous, PARA(w/m)E, A Shot and For You. Good to see All The Stars has made it as high as #25 too
IRELANDER'S HOT 100 - Mon 12/3/18 Edition No.435 Songs retire at 75 weeks
It's another good week for Migos, who continue their run with "Stir Fry" now at 3 weeks. Jay Rock and friends move up one spot to #2 finally with "King's Dead", with JANEVA slipping down another spot to #3. U.S. Girls remains steady with "Rosebud" at #4, while Drake makes just his second ever top 5 appearance as main artist (after "Hotline Bling") with "God's Plan" achieving its new peak at #5.
Up first is a mouthful of a title and quite apt given it's basically two songs rolled into one. I'm officially hyped for the new Parquet Courts record with "Almost Had to Start a Fight / In and Out of Patience" coming in at #18, their 7th entry to date.
My chart hasn't yet given this album enough credit but slowly this is changing. Tiny Little Houses now have their 5th entry with "Short Hair" at #27.
New CHVRCHES is proving to be quite interesting, and "Get Out" comes in at #33. It's their 7th entry to date which started nearly in 2013 with "The Mother We Share".
So there's a lot to say about this and hopefully I'll get the chance to at some stage. The three artists are no strangers to this chart, with Ab-Soul (3rd entry), Anderson .Paak (3rd) and James Blake (6th) coming in at #37 with the immaculately produced "Bloody Waters", which comes from the new Black Panther soundtrack if you weren't already aware.
It's been a very long time since a James Blake entry on this chart. He comes in for the 7th time with "If The Car Beside You Moves Ahead" at #49.
Many artists appear to be conspiring to end up with 7 entries at the end of today's chart as now Little Dragon notch up the non-milestone. After "Sweet" finished at number (wait for it) 7 in my 2017 EOY, they are back with a song totally dedicated to my wonderful new Twitter profile picture. Therefore "Sway Daisy" is an amazing song dedicated to the "Without Warning" LP and it comes in at #64.
And because I saw them last Friday night, and also that it left the chart too soon before, Grizzly Bear re-enter with "Mourning Sound". If you include this that's seven entries for the week. Illuminati confirmed

IRELANDER'S HOT 100 - Mon 19/3/18 Edition No.436 Songs retire at 75 weeks
Offset, Quavo and Takeoff from Atlanta trio Migos are now in elite company, with "Stir Fry" notching up four weeks at #1 with only three rap songs having achieved more weeks at the top ever ("Shitsville" with 7, "Call Me" with 6 and "Otis" with 5). Courtney Barnett improves on her best ever peak with "Nameless, Faceless" zooming up to #2. JANEVA stays solid whilst Jay Rock and U.S. Girls fall despite staying in the top 5.
Now occupying one-fifth of the top 10, the first of 11 debuts for the week is Courtney Barnett with her new song "Need a Little Time". She now has 10 entries in total, which date back to 2014 with #8-peaker "Avant Gardener", which until last week was her highest peaking track.
Second entry for the day is a band that today have their first ever entry despite having released music for over a decade. LA duo No Age come in at #16 with "Send Me", a song that is so easily up my alley.
I quite liked a JPEGMAFIA song I heard a while back but didn't bother listening again after I realised it was a bit old. Luckily I can say the New York rapper otherwise known as Barrington Hendricks has made up for lost time with "Does This Ski Mask Make Me Look Fat?" coming in at #22 for his first ever entry.
There was very little context I needed here. An apologetic and rather frustrated social media post forms the backdrop to the release of this new track by Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs, who released one of my favourite albums of the decade in 2012 with "Trouble". However, since then Orlando has released little more than a couple of collaborations and one single. But now there is at least a sign that the second record can't be too far away. "Leave A Light On" debuts at #29, his 12th entry to date.
The Voidz have frustrated me to date but finally I have a song that I can really jam to. "All Wordz Are Made Up" comes in at #38, with Julian Casablancas having had 13 previous entries with The Strokes.
It was hearing this on the j's that convinced me that this was a banger. Parquet Courts release the cowbell-heavy "Wide Awake", their 8th entry to date coming at #43.
I knew Jon Hopkins through his productions with Coldplay and Purity Ring, and this latest track didn't take long to capture my attention. "Emerald Rush" is five and a half minutes of tasty ambient electronica coming at #49.
There are a lot of crazy things happening in Jack White's latest track. He has 13 solo tracks to his name that have entered the chart now as well as 8 other contributions (1 feature, 6 The Dead Weather and 1 The White Stripes). "Over and Over and Over" breaks his 16-month absence on the chart coming in at #59.
My XXXTENTACION doesn't extend much beyond "SAD!" despite feeling like I've read much more about him. He debuts at #74 with said sad song.
Ok, so Django Django's latest album is confirmed to me for now as very underwhelming, but this is quite a tasty cut. "Beam Me Up" is the band's 20th entry to date coming in at #80.
Quite an effective strategy to get a quick follow-up chart entry for CHVRCHES, getting The National lead singer Matt Berninger to help out on vocal duties for their latest song. "My Enemy" is the band's 8th entry to date and it's also Matt's 8th having had 7 with The National last year.

IRELANDER'S HOT 100 - Mon 26/3/18 Edition No.437 Songs retire at 75 weeks
Five weeks now for Migos with "Stir Fry" despite strong competition for spots at the high end. Courtney Barnett remains at #2 with "Nameless, Faceless" but also manages a second top 5 entry with "Need a Little Time" at #5. In fact, with Superorganism in also, it's a very female-dominated top 5 and although I don't have the stats on it, probably one of the most ever.
So it does turn out that "In a Poem Unlimited" is very good but I'm still really getting used to it. The second entry for Meghan Remy a.k.a. U.S. Girls is "Incidental Boogie", which comes in at #16.
Five entries now for NAV because he happens to have a new single out. It's the production I really dig on "Freshman List" which comes in at #21.
Migos are another artist now with five entries, debuting at #25 with the addictive "Walk It Talk It". In keeping with the Canadian theme of the today's debuts so far, Drake appears with a killer verse on this track and this helps him to his 15th entry to date.
I had to check if Keith Thornton a.k.a. Kool Keith had snuck in for more than one previous entry before, because he seems to go by many different names! He featured on Yeah Yeah Yeahs' 2013 #78-peaker "Buried Alive" and now he is in for his first entry as main artist. "Area 54", also under the Dr. Octagon moniker, is so close to the right number coming in at #51.
I really ended up liking both "Faded" and "Working For It" so maybe now ZHU will have an opportunity at some more instant chart success. Only the latter of those charted here though, so "My Life" is his second entry coming in at #59. I've been known to enjoy Tame Impala on occasion too, and this is their 17th entry.
Approachable Members of Your Local Community is a band worth checking out and that's only after hearing this one a few times. "Semiotic Vision" reminds of many different Aussie bands and it comes in at #67 for their first entry to date.
I promise I'm not neglecting DZ Deathrays and their new record! However this year I'm approaching album tracks a bit differently which may make it harder for them to find a place on the chart so easily. "Like People" is the Queensland outfit's 16th entry so far coming in at #73.

IRELANDER'S HOT 100 - Mon 2/4/18 Edition No.438 Songs retire at 75 weeks
There didn't seem to be much stopping Migos again, who notch up six weeks with "Stir Fry". Courtney Barnett stalls at #2 for the third consecutive week, whilst Superorganism and Parquet Courts help push U.S. Girls down.
A bit slim on entries this week as there wasn't too much that jumped out at me. One song that managed to, however, was a song that has been doing the rounds for a number of weeks already. "Look Alive" by BlocBoy JB and Drake comes in at #14 after really growing on me this past week, with it being the former first entry and the latter's 16th.
I do enjoy the new Tiny Little Houses LP in case you didn't know, and a song that I've played more than I realised "Nowhere, SA" becomes their 6th entry coming in at #43.
And as for the "Black Panther" soundtrack, it was a real mixed bag at first but it is continuing to surprise me. Zacari (2nd entry after last year's "LOVE." with Kendrick Lamar) debuts alongside Babes Wodumo with "Redemption" at #53. It is the 5th entry from the soundtrack, and (although I'm not accounting for featured artists) the South African Wodumo is the second African artist to make the chart.
File this one somewhere between Battles and Animal Collective. The fascinating "Composite" by New York band Palm comes in at #88.

IRELANDER'S HOT 100 - Mon 9/4/18 Edition No.439 Songs retire at 75 weeks
When I first heard "Stir Fry" by Migos, I was compelled to listen to it purely for the simple reason that I wanted to.
The first debut this week comes from a Victorian(!) band who are fantastically titled Cousin Tony's Brand New Firebird. "Transient" is their first ever entry and it debuts at #14.
So I have quite the relationship with Beach House's music, having belatedly fallen in love with "Myth" nearly six years ago and really enjoying their output ever since. Such is the way this fandom has transformed over time that this new debut already outpeaks the legendary "Myth". "Dark Spring" is the band's 12th entry and it comes in at #21.
Rae Sremmurd's latest single is credited in a rather puzzling manner, which is why I've chosen to ignore it completely. "Powerglide" is the duo's 3rd entry to date, and it's also Juicy J's 3rd, and the song comes in at #28.
Gengahr are still way behind Mew in the number of entries but this latest single has real potential. "Before Sunrise" is their 2nd to date coming in at #43.
I'm not sure if we all have different favourites from "My Dear Melancholy," but my choice seems to be somewhat controversial. "Hurt You" enters at #47 as The Weeknd's 6th entry, and although I quite like "Pursuit", this is only the first from French producer Gesaffelstein.
Brisbane rapper Carmouflage Rose finished at #205 in my 2017 EOY with "Late Nights" and now his second charting entry has arrived. Will he have more luck come EOY season though? "Wildflowers" enters at #50.
I can't call "Pink Lemonade" a total fluke but it is a surprising return! James Bay comes in for his 3rd entry to date at #57, after #20-peaker "Hold Back The River" and #87-peaker "Let It Go" from three years ago.
It's 2018 and I'm first learning of artists through profile pictures. Lucy Dacus comes in at #65 with "Addictions".
And lastly, I had downloaded this before I heard "Dark Spring", but still felt compelled to judge it on its own merit, so here we have the inferior Beach House debut of the week. "Dive" is now their 13th entry to date coming in at #75.

IRELANDER'S HOT 100 - Mon 16/4/18 Edition No.440 Songs retire at 75 weeks
So we're nearly a quarter into the year and an actual 2018 song has finally made #1. That's right, Migos' reign of dominance is over with Django Django climb to #1 in spectacular fashion with "Beam Me Up". In doing so, they become the first ever artist to achieve #1s from three different albums ("Default" and "Found You" being their predecessors).
I've quite enjoyed Sarah Blasko's new material and perhaps I will find time to give the entire album a listen soon. "Never Let Me Go" comes in at #20, which is her sixth entry to date. It's also the second entry ever titled "Never Let Me Go", of course following Florence and the Machine's epic 2012 #3-peaker.
We've had some interesting returns from some of the bands that graced my chart in its very early days, and here's a band I have been really excited to hear from this year. Hertfordshire's finest Friendly Fires first debuted on the chart in November 2009 with #1 "Kiss of Life", and now, after nearly six years out of the top 100, they come in with their latest single "Love Like Waves" at #30. It is their 20th entry to date.
Drake has not wasted any time in 2018, quickly accumulating another three top 10 hits and he now has his 17th entry on the chart so far. "Nice For What" is proving to be nice for the number pattern emerging from my debuts this week, coming in at #40.
Melody Prochet is in the midst of a triumphant return in 2018 with a new album on the way. Following the #5-peaker "Shirim" a few years ago is "Breathe In, Breathe Out" at #74.
Up next is some instant irishbait with two artists who graced my EOY last year. Portland rapper Aminé and Arizona trio Injury Reserve achieve their third and second entries respectively with the quick "Campfire" at #81.
This one is quite interesting to me as it quite effectively brings back a bit of the more familiar Franz Ferdinand sound in with the new. At #93 is the band's 28th entry to date titled "Paper Cages".

Didn't notice how well Everybody Wants To Be Famous was doing until jinx pointed it out a few weeks ago! I love that it got to #1 for me, #2 for you and #3 for jinx Look Alive, Rosebud Need A Little Time, Get Out, Phantom, Nice For What, 14U+14ME, Lemon, Pray For Me, XO TOUR Llif3, bellyache, Golden To Thrive and Don't Don't Do It! all charting is cool. Good to see respectable runs for All The Stars and Go Bang also.
IRELANDER'S HOT 100 - Mon 23/4/18 Edition No.441 Songs retire at 75 weeks
In familiar fashion, my chart has a bit of a rejig this week and it's BlocBoy JB who ends up on top with his Drake collaboration "Look Alive". It's not bad for his first attempt, and it's Drake's second #1 to date after "Hotline Bling" spent one week on top in 2015. Some moves for Migos, The Voidz and even Sarah Blasko will make the next few weeks very competitive indeed.
As the years have proven, I am always up for something a bit different, and that's really what we have here. With the darkest vocal delivery on a trap banger you'll hear this year, it comes from an Indonesian rapper who, before a couple of name changes, originally got his start on the internet making comedy sketches. Rich Brian comes in at #12 with the prophetic "watch out!".
Swedish songstress Lykke Li dropped one of 2011's more surprising #1s with "Get Some" but sadly has not come close to those heights since then. "deep end" is her 4th entry to date and it comes in at #23.
It's proving to be quite the year for Migos, and before diving into their album finally this week, I came across this solid album cut. "Gang Gang" is their 6th entry coming in at #34.
It has been a sombre week for EDM, simple as that. It's a surprising first entry for Norwegian producer Kygo, with vocals provided by Miguel who now climbs to three entries after 2015 A$AP Rocky hit "Everyday" and his own track in last year's "Sky Walker". At #76 is "Remind Me to Forget".
Reminder how good "In A Poem Unlimited" is; and here is the third entry for U.S. Girls with the soothing "Poem" at #89.

IRELANDER'S HOT 100 - Mon 30/4/18 Edition No.442 Songs retire at 75 weeks
It's two weeks at the top for "Look Alive", and to mark the occasion it's an all-Drake top two.
First debut this week comes from an artist that continues to surprise me with their insanely memorable tunes. Superorganism at #5 for their third entry "Night Time".
Fresh from his latest EP, a 7th entry overall for The Weeknd with "Privilege" at #13.
This is an infectiously catchy rap tune and Rich The Kid has his first entry on the chart as a result. "Plug Walk" at #39.
The record should reflect that my relationship with these two artists has been rocky at times, but this latest single certainly has my attention. Calvin Harris remarkably now has 11 entries on the chart, and this is Dua Lipa's third, with "One Kiss" coming in at #48.
Another artist coming in for their 11th entry in this edition is Courtney Barnett. With plenty of new album hype, she continues her momentum with "City Looks Pretty" at #56.
So I'm clearly not done scouring the ARIA chart for things to chart it seems. This is the third entry to date for J. Cole, who previously debuted on Jay-Z's "A Star Is Born" in 2010 and later in the first chart of last year with "Deja Vu". "ATM" comes in at #64.
Now for a song that annoyingly has exactly the right song title. I have heard this new track from The Vaccines several times on the radio and it has finally beaten me down, with "I Can't Quit" becoming the band's sixth entry at #67. Hopefully it's a sign of things to come, with my interest in them being rather limited in recent years.
An artist that has very quickly accumulated seven entries on the chart now. Yep, it's Migos again, this time with "Top Down on da NAWF" at #72.
I charted Nicki Minaj's "Anaconda" at #99 for one week back in 2014 and I'm pretty sure it helped crash the internet (citation needed). Last year she featured on Katy Perry's "Swish Swish" which finished scarily high in my EOY (#189), and now she has a solo entry again! "Barbie Tingz" is more of the same Nicki we know, and it comes in at #94.

IRELANDER'S HOT 100 - Mon 7/5/18 Edition No.443 Songs retire at 75 weeks
This year my #1s have been either entirely male and foreign, or female and Australian, and the trend continues with one of this country's finest songwriters Sarah Blasko achieving her first #1 with "Never Let Me Go".
In a couple of months I'll be seeing Franz Ferdinand and MGMT live, which will be one night full of nostalgia trips. However they have put forward a number of worthy new tracks too, and the latter are in at #40 with "TSLAMP" short for Time Spent Looking At My Phone. It's MGMT's 20th entry on the chart to date.
Five entries now across the detch for Unknown Mortal Orchestra, with the dance-friendly "Everyone Acts Crazy Nowadays" at #47.
The state of Georgia has had a decent year on the chart (**coughs** NAWF). Liza Anne is new on the chart with a cut from her third studio album, the lovely "Panic Attack" at #49.
I've not read any mention of A.D.D. baby here but wowee that was what I first thought of. Samsaruh has her third entry with "Gunpowder" at #55.
I was a bit surprised that Father John Misty wasn't the most prolific charter to debut this week, but Tillman now has his 18th. "Just Dumb Enough To Try" comes in at #77.
After 18 entries with Grizzly Bear, co-lead vocalist Daniel Rossen has released some solo material over the years. "Deerslayer" is his new single and it showcases many of the reasons why I love the band. It enters at #87.
Another Daniel debuting this week and sadly it's not Daniel09. Eight years ago Daniel Lee Kendall first made his mark on the chart with #2-peaker "Lost In The Moment". The singer-songwriter's fifth entry "No Longer Time To Pretend" comes in at #90.

Almost Had to Start a Fight / In and Out of Patience
IRELANDER'S HOT 100 - Mon 14/5/18 Edition No.444 Songs retire at 75 weeks
A pretty competitive week but few changes are made at the top - Sarah Blasko still #1 with "Never Let Me Go" and Migos & BlocBoy JB switch places inside the top 5.
Sydney's The Lulu Raes are a band I've hadn't properly tried before and I was pleasantly surprised with a track from their debut album. "Things Change" is very dreamy and almost a bit too easily influenced, but nonetheless it debuts at #10.
The second entry for the week is a song that has been fairly popular out of nowhere. It's also the sixth song to be named after a year, following Neon Trees' "1983", Washington's "1997", Sunflower Bean's "2013", Run The Jewels' "2100" and Childish Gambino's "3005". King Princess debuts at #20 with "1950".
It is rare to have the top three entries all by newly charting artists, and here is a band I saw live a couple of weeks back. Aussie band CLEWS come in at #35 with "Museum".
High Tropics are of course from Queensland, and after their Strokesy "You Never Made It Easy" peaked at #48, they've outdone themselves for their second charter. At #40 is their latest single "Wait For You".
The track listing for the upcoming Azealia Banks album looks very interesting, with production from the likes of Kaytranada and Paul Oakenfold and features from Busta Rhymes and Luciana of all people. Her single "Anna Wintour" comes in at #52, her third entry to date.
It is very hard to pin down Poliça outside of the fact they make very diverse and entertaining music, and their latest efforts are no exception. They've released a new album with an orchestral collective from Berlin by the name of "s t a r g a z e" and this cut from it is quite fun. "Marrow" comes in at #73, Poliça's sixth entry to date.
Next up is Dirty Projectors who have come close to charting before but the closest has been through former contributor Amber Coffman who managed to do so through Major Lazer's "Get Free". Apt of course that they come in at #85 with "Break-Thru".
And of course a song that has gained plenty of deserved attention, Childish Gambino for his sixth entry with "This Is America" at #89.

IRELANDER'S HOT 100 - Mon 21/5/18 Edition No.445 Songs retire at 75 weeks
A big week for moody electronica with The Weeknd and James Blake moving into the top 10 but again it's an even better one for Aussie music; The Lulu Raes rocket to #4 with "Things Change" and my favourite song of the week remains "Never Let Me Go".
I picked up on this song and my immediate thoughts really are that it's the best Haim song I've ever heard. Other than that, it's somewhat of a homage to the late great Michael Jackson, and it's an insanely catchy piece of pop. Now, Now debut at #14 with "MJ".
Tahj Chandler a.k.a. Saba may not yet be in my top 3 rappers from Chicago, but the fact that he came up as a recommended artist on lastie earlier this week after I had already downloaded this song counts for something. "LIFE" does mean something to a chart nerd that had not previously charted "LIFE", and it comes in at #24.
Having only just realised this was a cover, I've gone back to listen to the original by Saul Williams and it is excellent. Although the two recordings sound vastly different, The Kills do this justice, in the process of following up their amazing 2016 "Ash & Ice" LP. They have nine entries now as a result of "List of Demands (Reparations)" debuting at #35.
It is now Jay Rock's most prolific year on my chart, not that there was much competition. And of course an uncredited Kendrick Lamar provides some vocals in the background, not that I wasn't sold already. "WIN"... win win win wins itself a spot at #43, Jay Rock's 3rd entry to date.
I have some moderately phascinating history to provide here. Sydney's Phantastic Ferniture had decent success in early 2016 with #8-peaker "Gap Year", and later that year lead singer Julia Jacklin briefly featured with #69-peaker "Leadlight". They have indeed had a gap year of charting though with the band's second entry at #47 titled "Fuckin 'n' Rollin".
I shall be seeing this band at the end of the week and having not known much about them a few weeks ago I quite like their new single. IV League come in at #64 with "Superstar".
Much has been made of the crazy few years that Queensland band WAAX have had. They broke (rather violently) onto the chart a few years back with #6-peaker "I For An Eye", and each of their previous 5 entries have all peaked within the top 30. They really have an uphill battle with "Labrador" entering in at #69, I mean, why would I want to ruin that?
I have been very patient waiting for this and the return of the 2015 EOY-topping FIDLAR is here. They come in with the very dark and energetic "Alcohol" which enters at #74, their seventh entry to date.
A return I was, relatively speaking, less passionate about than the last two artists, but I can't be too picky. Aaron Maine a.k.a. Porches is back with his third entry "Goodbye" at #79.

IRELANDER'S HOT 100 - Mon 28/5/18 Edition No.446 Songs retire at 75 weeks
It's an all-Aussie top 3 which can't be said often! Sarah Blasko makes it 4 weeks at #1 with "Never Let Me Go" ahead of rises for High Tropics and The Lulu Raes, while The Weeknd makes his first ever top 5 appearance with "Hurt You" moving up three places to #5.
First on the agenda this week is a supergroup fronted byThe Drones lead singer Gareth Liddiard that go by the name of Tropical Fuck Storm. "You Let My Tyres Down" comes in at #46.
As one does, I've seen Jeff Rosenstock's name in many different places but particularly so following his recent album release. I was pleased that I quite enjoy "All This Useless Energy" which enters at #56.
Another first timer this week by a familiar name. It's quite sad that "Audacity of Huge" just missed out on making my 2009 EOY, and I would that I find it hard to leave out if I redid the list now. Simian Mobile Disco are in the chart with the lengthy "Hey Sister" coming at #73.
I still don't know what to say about this album, the Arctics have really bowled us a googly outside off stump here. "She Looks Like Fun" happens to be the band's 17th entry, it's in at #80, make of it what you will.
And everyone's favourite Russian dream pop outfit Pinkshinyultrablast have their second ever entry. "Dance AM" is in at #93.

Ooh Look Alive is an interesting #1 also yay for Never Let Me Go, deep end, Remind Me To Forget, Night Time , Privilege, One Kiss, ATM, Barbie Tingz, 1950 and This Is America. for recent(ish) debuts. I've been really getting into Never Let Me Go so I'm glad it's now #1. Night Time doing so well is great, and a different peak to me again
IRELANDER'S HOT 100 - Mon 4/6/18 Edition No.447 Songs retire at 75 weeks
The top 3 remains intact for another week, which is of course great news for Sarah Blasko.
"L'Inconnue" is French for "the unknown" and apparently this lovely Beach House track has been in the works for several years now. It's the Baltimore duo's 14th entry to date coming in at #45.
I will get around to "Virtue" at some stage but for now we have a second entry from The Voidz. "Pyramid of Bones" comes in at #64.
Canberra outfit Moaning Lisa show their inspiration to many female artists in "Carrie (I Want A Girl)", and as a result they join a number of them as artists that have made this chart. This track enters at #84.
People can say it's "ye" all they want, but Dr. Octagon's "Moosebumps: An Exploration Into Modern Day Horripilation" is the strangest album I've heard this year. The only thing stranger was hearing some of the album before a gig recently. "Power Of The World (S Curls)" is his third entry to date coming in at #87.
I'm still mentally separating this from their last single but Teleman are back. "Cactus" is a far cry from the heights of "Düsseldorf" but it earns them their 6th entry to date at #96.

IRELANDER'S HOT 100 - Mon 11/6/18 Edition No.448 Songs retire at 75 weeks
A seemingly unbeatable top 3 was beaten... somewhat. Sarah Blasko keeps her seat at the top, amassing six weeks now with "Never Let Me Go" ahead of a new debut from James Blake.
And that debut is "Don't Miss It". I didn't quite embrace it on first listen but could definitely appreciate what it was doing. However, it's fair to say I was far quicker to get to this point than I was with his previous single. James Blake now has 8 entries, with this becoming his equal highest peaker at #2 tied with "The Wilhelm Scream" and "King's Dead".
A first timer this week in Danish band Iceage. Although this track doesn't appear to be a single it's one that has clicked with me pretty quickly. "Hurrah" at #8.
Now for something a bit more well-known. Clean Bandit broke through on the chart with their 2014 hit "Rather Be" but they enlist the help of a first timer - Demi Lovato - to poot poot poot their way to #14 with "Solo".
Hey boy, you wanna know what I think of "DAYTONA", boy? It's better than "ye", boy. Here with Kanye-produced "If You Know You Know", which is Pusha T's fifth entry on the chart. It comes in at #44.
This is an iconic duo I can get behind. Producer Proper Villains and rapper Cakes da Killa both appear to be from New York, and they combine for the financial panther anthem "Don't Make Cents" at #53.
Another duo new to the chart is Perth's Leopard Lake. They come in with "Only One" at #60.
Kanye's in the chart with "Ghost Town" at #72, his 27th entry to date, and now that my chart commentary is done I feel kind of freeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Almost Had to Start a Fight / In and Out of Patience
IRELANDER'S HOT 100 - Mon 18/6/18 Edition No.449 Songs retire at 75 weeks
Admittedly I've been quite busy this week and even now I'm multi-tasking - come on South Korea get that equaliser. James Blake has his first ever #1 with "Don't Miss It" ending Sarah Blasko's run on top.
This is one of many albums I have to get to but for now I'm back into Melody's Echo Chamber's "Breathe In, Breathe Out". It achieves a new peak re-entering at #23.
Not giving their last album a fair enough chance has been somewhat made up by a number of entries as I venture further back with my retrospective EOY project. Post-punk legends Interpol now have their third entry with "The Rover" at #42.
I'm working my way down the track listing with Sarah Blasko's album. "Everybody Wants To Sin" is her seventh entry to date at #57.
We have a second artist to chart from the ACT in three weeks with newbies Young Monks following on from Moaning Lisa. "Supersonic Melodies" is the 17th entry from the territory but this band's first, entering at #63.
The latest Presets album has plenty to choose from but I've gone for "Beethoven", coming at #68.
More "ye" with Kanye coming in again this week, this time it's "Yikes" at #88.
A new Wild Nothing album is on the way and a third entry is this week. "Letting Go" at #96.

I went with "Beethoven" as the first non single to make my chart as well from that new Presets album. "Martini" followed the next week and there's probably room for 1 or 2 more tracks to come.
50 latest reviews
, Privilege, One Kiss, ATM, Barbie Tingz, 1950 and This Is America. for recent(ish) debuts. I've been really getting into Never Let Me Go so I'm glad it's now #1. Night Time doing so well is great, and a different peak to me again
