Beyonce has the Number 1 album on the Irish album charts.

This week, Lemonade, Bey's deeply troubled latest masterpiece, faced tough competition from Drake's fourth studio album Views, but she's managed to hold off the Canadian rapper to capture the top spot. Her controversial album chronicles her tempestuous relationship with Jay Z, her issues with her father, and takes a massive stand for female empowerment.

Irish folk group the High Kings are a new entry at Number 3 in the charts. The Dublin band return with their third studio album Grace and Glory. English rock royalty Radiohead drop from Number 1 to Number 4, with their first album in five years. A Moon Shaped Pool is the band's ninth studio LP filled with delicate acoustic folk and moody avant electronica, all underscored by lush orchestral arrangements.

Completing the top five albums is Irish country singer Nathan Carter's Stayin' Up All Night.
