Lorde reclaims Singles Chart crown
New Zealand sensation knocks Birdy off her perch...
With new album Pure Heroine finally arriving, 16-year-old pop smash Lorde has returned to the top of the Irish Singles Charts with 'Royals'.
Ms Yelich-O'Connor had previously lost the top spot to Birdy's 'Wings', but it's all change this week as that track drops two places to #3, which gives Hozier (interviewed in the brand new issue of Hot Press) the opportunity to move into second position with the stirring 'Take Me To Church'.
Elsewhere, Katy Perry moves up to #4 with 'Roar' while Miley Cyrus holds court in fifth spot with 'Wrecking Ball'. OneRepublic, Drake, Avicii, Lady Gaga and Ellie Goulding complete the top ten. View the full chart here.
