Warning: There's some cheese.

Top of the Pops is making a return this Christmas, this got me thinking about those Irish artists who had the pleasure of performing a number one track on the show. Thin Lizzy, The Cranberries and Snow Patrol are just some of the bands who never had a number one single in the U.K. Here are some of the most recent Irish artists to have scored a number single in the U.K during the shows tenure, feel free to suggest any that I'm leaving out. Pop, so much pop. B*witched - C'est La Vie https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQJH05XyKkI Boyzone - Words  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LGRQG6iackA The Corrs - Breathless https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JCVD6dbDvS0 Chris DeBurgh - Lady In Red https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Hf0aA4v0j8
