Ed Sheeran back at No. 1

Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds were, well, flying high last week as their second album Chasing Yesterday debuted with a golden bullet atop the Irish Album Chart. It's back to business as usual this week, as X by Ed Sheeran (who Noely G has now decided is a "dude") is this week's biggest selling album.
Noel will have to settle for second place.
Sam Smith's debut remains in third, Hozier's eponymous debut remains in fourth, while Madonna has a strong first week showing – her new album Rebel Heart rounds off the Top 5.
Taylor Swift, Kodaline and George Ezra are the familiar faces just below (in that order), but The Gloaming get a big boost from their Choice Music Prize win last week. The Gloaming leaps from No. 36 to No. 9, one spot ahead of Sia's 1000 Forms Of Fear.
