Number one, and five, and one respectively, with a bullet: The Frames, Damien Dempsey and (ahem) Mickey Joe Harte hit the toppermost of the poppermost

There was much cause for celebration among Ireland's indie fraternity last Friday when The Frames' Set List and Damien Dempsey's Seize The Day entered the charts here at number one and number five respectively.

In the process The Frames have gone gold, selling over 7,500 copies of the live collection in the first week of its release. Whew!
