Band Aid 30 tops singles chart
Little surprise as charity effort grabs top spot
Band Aid 30 had already been confirmed as the fastest selling single of the year, so it's no surprise to see it claim top spot of the Irish singles chart this week.
It's the third time that 'Do They Know It's Christmas' has been at the summit of the Irish sales chart. It is, in fact, the only new entry in the top ten.
It means that Ed Sheeran - himself a contributor to the charity effort - slips to number two with 'Thinking Out Loud', while One Direction are immovable in third with 'Steal My Girl'.
Meanwhile, Meghan Trainor, Sam Smith, G.R.L and all the other usual suspects are still milling about in the top ten.
