    Hi I'm a freshman
    I'm doing my research on popularity of Irish traditional music,
    so I need to find how many traditional songs are in the Irish song chart.
    However, as a foreigner, it's pretty hard to find it.
    Would you tell me some sites?

    This is the official list, updated weekly to reflect the single (and album) sales in Ireland. You'll not find much trad in there at all; the singles charts seem to be very much the regular 'pop' music; a lot of the same stuff you'd get in the states as well as some popular UK artists and whatever Irish indie/rock band happens to be popular this time of the year.


    Best of luck with the research anyway :)
