Managed to wangle some audio for you on the great Johnny Cash chart win for us today.
Here's the bit where Adelle reveals whether or not we made it into the top 30. Listen particularly to the last few seconds of this audio, where my phone beeps with a text message.
This is pretty cool - and should give you an idea of how cool it is to have a national radio station to play with as a toy.
You see, although I didn't read it out on-air, that beeping at the end of the above clip was a text message arriving from 2FM DJ Rick O'Shea. You're probably not too familiar with who he is, so allow me to fill you in: Rick (real name Martin Flange) presents an evening show on 2FM, and on Fridays, the official Irish National Chart Show on that station. Upon hearing the Johnny Cash news, his text to me read:
"Jaysus.... Means I have an excuse to play him on the National Chart Show today :) "
Then when he heard his text coming through on my phone he texted again:
"I made your phone beep How cool is that!!!!"
So I called him after my show and left a voicemail for him. He would return my call later. Now, before you listen to this next clip, I'll have to give you a bit of background: my girlfriend/future missus is a newsreader for 2FM and she's in work this evening. So when Rick finally did call me back from his workplace that evening, the phone number was the same as Kate's would be when she calls me from work - because it's the same place. So the phone rings, see the 2FM number and answer with "hey babe" - to which Rick replies in his grizzly, deep, DJ voice: "Hey dude".
So now, when you hear Rick introducing tonight's number 28 song on his show on the rival national station, you'll hear us play about with the national airwaves again. Cool or what?
I suppose you need to be as nerdy as us to appreciate it.

Use your power for a good song maybe! Or for a band that might be able to use the royalties for something other than a bouquet for their grave!
