Taylor Swift fights off competition from Metallica on Official Irish Albums Chart

Taylor Swift has held onto her position at the top of the Official Irish Albums chart for a fourth non-consecutive week – fighting off competition from Metallica's new live album with the San Francisco Symphony, S&M2, which debuted at No.2.

S&M2 garnered the most physical and download sales of the week, while Swift's Folklore was Ireland's most streamed album.

Elsewhere, Katy Perry enters the chart at No.9 with Smile, while Disclosure narrowly miss the Top 10 with Energy at No.11. Dermot Kennedy continues to hold onto No.3 with Without Fear.

On the Official Irish Singles Chart, meanwhile, Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion continue their reign at No.1 for a second week with 'WAP'. It's followed closely by 24Goldn's 'Mood', featuring Iann Dior – which has rocketed in popularity thanks to TikTok.
