Daft Punk retain No. 1 spot

The returning French robots are still at the top of the Irish Album Chart.

It's deja vu for the top two on the Irish Album Chart this week. It might be dividing opinions, but Random Access Memories is certainly proving to be an undisputed commercial success for Daft Punk, as it is named Ireland's No. 1 album for the second week in a row.

Just below, The National hold on to the No. 2 slot for the second week running with their new Trouble Will Find Me record. We're looking forward to that Marquee show next month, as well as their November date with Dublin's O2, already.

It's a new entry for Laura Marling, as Once I Was An Eagle arrives at No. 3, bumping Absolute Zero, the very fine debut from rising Irish act Little Green Cars, down to No. 4.

Rod Stewart's first album of original material in two decades, Time rounds off the Top 5.

There's a little jostling but not many surprises elsewhere on the chart, with the next highest new entry coming from Alice In Chains. The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here arrives at No. 24.
