All pop at the top of the Irish Albums Chart.
It was always going to be a race between One Direction and Justin Bieber for the Irish number one this week, and it is the former X Factor boys who have secured the top spot on the Irish Albums Chart.
Their latest, Made In The AM, debuts at the summit and proves their is life for the boyband post-Zayn.
The Bieber has made an impressive comeback with his latest single after plenty of bad publicity in recent years, and his new long-player, Purpose arrives at No. 2.
Chart stalwart Ed Sheeran sees his X actually rise a spot into third position this week, while last week's number one, Get Weird by Little Mix, has to sett for No. 4.
Elvis Presley (another chart stalwart with even more prestigious history behind him, of course) rounds off the Top 5 with If I Can Dream, a compilation of orchestral versions of some of his biggest songs.
Elsewhere, Electric Light Orchestra prove they've still got pop legs after all these years and crash-land into the Irish Albums Chart at No. 6 with new offering Alone In The Universe.
