Beyonce has flown straight in at the top of the Irish album charts, as Lemonade tops the rundown in its first week.
While the new LP might have been a surprise release, there's no surprise to see it top the rundown on its first week. Queen Bey takes over from Mike Denver (not a sentence you hear every day), with her LP enough to hold a pair of Prince compilations – The Very Best of and Ultimate – to second and third spots. The late icon's Sign O The Times and Purple Rain are also conspicuous on this week's chart, taking No. 10 and No. 11 respectively.
In between, though, some reliables are still standing strong; Walking On Cars continue their remarkable run by staying in fourth, while Adele's 25 and Justin Bieber's Purpose, just like last week, sit right behind.
