Niall Horan's Heartbreak Weather scores biggest opening week for a 2020 album in Ireland

Niall Horan's Heartbreak Weather was released last week to critical acclaim, and a resounding cheer from fans worldwide.

This week, the Official Irish Charts report that Horan has surpassed Eminem's Music To Be Murdered By with his second studio album, snagging the number one spot and beating out his nearest competitor, Lewis Capaldi's Divinely Uninspired To A Hellish Extent by 2:1.

On the singles charts, Saint Jhn claims a third consecutive week with 'Roses', and The Weeknd takes the second slot with 'Blinding Lights'. Horan's single 'No Judgement' becomes his fifth top 10 hit.

Mabel’s new single Boyfriend hits a new high of 25, up 14 places, and two new entries secure a place in the Top 50; Northern Irish DJ Robbie Doherty and Irish house duo Keees enter at 46 with 'Pour The Milk', and Doja Cat claims her third chart hit of the week with 'Like That' ft. Gucci Mane at 50.
