Kanye West knocks The Greatest Showman from top of Irish Charts

Despite the lukewarm reviews, fans have been lapping up Kanye West's new album. Never far away from controversy, the artist's raised public profile has no doubt been helpful in making his album jump straight to the top of the charts.

Elsewhere, The Greatest Showman Soundtrack, Ed Sheeran and Post Malone all move down a notch to make way for the Louis Vuitton don.

Father John Misty's new album God's Favourite Customer enters in at No. 11. While Ben Howard's Noonday Dreams comes in at 12.
