Hozier's latest studio album, Unreal Unearth, is officially the Irish number 1.

“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 the acclaimed Wicklow musician.

Loosely-inspired by Dante’s Inferno and the 9 circles of hell,  the epic 16-track LP follows a captivating thematic arc "informed by the turbulence of the world and the fight for a better and brighter tomorrow".
