Damien Rice heads up album chart
Top spot for Kildare troubadour
Damien Rice has stormed straight to the top of the album charts with his new release, My Favourite Faded Fantasy.
It’s a strong week for Irish artists; The Script, U2 and Hozier all feature in the top ten, but it’s Rice who leads the way with his acclaimed effort sitting pretty at the summit.
He dethrones Taylor Swift, whose 1989 sits at No. 2, just ahead of Ed Sheeran’s x. Hozier’s remarkable success continues, as he grabs fourth spot, while Calvin Harris is a notable new entry at No. 5 with Motion.
