Album Of Irish Showbands


IRISH HIT PARADE-----60s and 70s

Compiled by John Lynch

Hi friends,
 
Below is a listing of all records by Irish artists which charted in the 1960's and 70's.  These yearly charts are compiled and sequenced on a points system I devised, based on peak position, weeks in chart and in cases of no. 1's, weeks spent at the top. 
 
Note: the reason for the first chart combining 1963 and 1964 is because only four items charted in 1963 and two of these continued into 1964's chart. 
 
I hope you find this a useful source of reference and if you have any comments or queries, feel free to contact me.
 
Regards,
 
John
