Drake holds off George Ezra to claim second week at Number 1
Drake has held on to claim a second week at Number 1 on the Official Irish Albums Chart.
Last week, the rapper's latest album Scorpion became his first chart-topping record in the country. This week he fends off competition from George Ezra, whose latest collection Staying At Tamara’s climbs two places to Number 3.
Pop trio Years & Years claim this week’s highest new entry with their second album Palo Santo at Number 6, the follow up to their chart-topping debut Communion, and Picture This’ self-titled debut returns to the Top 10, up a place to Number 10.
The latest album from Irish folk legend Christy Moore is also on the climb – On The Road jumps five places to Number 12 - and Dublin rockers The Coronas debut at Number 18 with Reprise, a mini-album of tracks that didn’t quite fit their previous albums.
Further down, and fresh from breaking a Guinness World Record this week for playing an impressive ten gigs in 12 hours, 23-year old English singer/songwriter Tom Grennan’s debut album Lighting Matches opens at 28, and following his show at Marlay Park, Bruno Mars’ 24K Magic returns to the Top 50 at 46.
