Leapfrogs Ed Sheeran, Sam Smith and Noel Gallagher.
You can't keep a good Wicklow man down. Or in fourth, as it happens. This week, Andrew Hozier-Byrne sees his debut LP jump three spots back into pole position on the Irish Albums Chart.
It means last week's best-selling album, X by Ed Sheeran, has to settle for No. 2. Sitting pretty in third is Sam Smith's In The Lonely Hour.
This week's highest new entry comes from Marina & The Diamonds. The well-received FROOT enters at No. 4. The current issue of Hot Press (Electric Picnic cover) features the only interview with Ms. Diamandis you'll need to read in 2015. If you haven't seen the contents, it's on page 32.
Chasing Yesterday from Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds is at a lower altitude this week, trading No. 2 for No. 5.
There are three other new entries placing high. Old hands Van Morrison (Duets) and Mark Knopfler (Tracker) are at No. 7 and 8 respectively.
Kendrick Lamar's much talked about (and much streamed) To Pimp A Butterfly rounds off the Top 10.
