Ed Sheeran and James Bay are held off by Bray bluesman
We would never be so presumptuous as to claim a "Hot Press bump", but our current cover-star Hozier once again finds himself at the top of the Irish album charts this week.
A full 29 weeks since his eponymous debut jumped into top spot, the Wicklow-born star is once again leading the way, ahead of another long-term resident in the upper reaches; Ed Sheeran's x is at No. 2. It's another guitar-toting Englishman in third, as James Bay sees last week's bestseller Chaos And The Calm continue to sell well.
Punky US combo All Time Low are the highest new entry in this week's rundown; their Future Hearts takes the No. 7 spot, where they're surrounded by mainstays like Sia, Sam Smith, Taylor Swift and Kodaline, all of whom can toast another week in the top ten.
