Hozier continues his reign at the peak of the Irish album charts with his latest full-length offering Unreal Unearth claiming top spot for the third week running.

“It’s a special feeling to receive this kind of support in your home country. Massive thank you to everyone in Ireland for all the love and support shown to Unreal Unearth! News of this number 1 has me absolutely thrilled,” said Hozier when the record first climbed to no.1 upon its release.

The Wicklow native is also this month’s Hot Press cover star. In his powerful interview, Hozier opened up about a range of issues, from the music world to global politics. The full feature includes his reflections on Deadly Sins, Circles of Hell, LGBTQI+ rights, fatherhood, Joni Mitchell, his acclaimed new album and more.

Elsewhere in the charts, American singer-songwriter Zach Bryan retained the no.2 spot for the second week running with his self titled debut, as Hozier remains the only Irish artist in a Taylor Swift-dominated top ten.

Cork singer Cian Ducrot’s latest offering Victory rose four places from 16 to 12, undoubtedly aided by his impressive Main Stage performance at last weekend’s Electric Picnic in Stradbally.
