At the start of this year, I set myself the task of creating my own list of the biggest songs in Ireland in 2021. Keep in mind there is an Official Top 50 that usually drops in January, but this is my list by my rules.
And said rules are simple: each week, I would score all of the top 50 between 50 and 1 points, depending on their chart position. This started in the first week of the year (1 January 2021 - 7 January 2021) and continued for 52 weeks until this one (24 December 2021 - 30 December 2021), the outcome of which is the following list.
