Dave takes the #1 spot with The Boy Who Played The Harp.

Dave, Lily Allen, Mick Flannery and Susan O'Neill have all scored strong debuts on the Irish Albums Chart this week.

Dave stands proudly in the #1 spot with his album The Boy Who Played The Harp, Allen sits at #5 with West End Girl, and Mick Flannery and Susan O'Neill enter at #10 with their collaborative live album In The Game - LIVE 2021-2025.

Dave released his third album The Boy Who Played The Harp last week, with plans already locked in for a Europe and UK tour next year, which includes a show at the 3Arena on March 2, 2026

Lily Allen has made headlines with her first record in over seven years, West End Girl, a tell-all album delving into the intricacies and pain of a marriage that has disintegrated. Pop-single 'Pussy Palace' has been trending on social media since its release. The singer will embark on a full UK tour beginning in March 2026.
