James Bay tops the Irish singles chart

The feeling that this would be James Bay's year looks like being accurate, as 'Hold Back The River' has climbed to the summit of the Irish singles chart.
The lusciously-locked singer-songwriter has been in the top ten for over a month, but finally reached the top at the expense of the Rihanna/Kanye/Paul McCartney power trio, who slip to No. 2 with 'Four Five Seconds'.
Another former bestseller, Ellie Goulding's 'Love Me Like You Do', is at No. 4, a spot behind OMI's 'Cheerleader', while Mark Ronson's 'Uptown Funk' is still performing well, sitting at No. 6 this week.
There's no new entry in the top ten - in fact, it's merely reshuffled since last week - as Years & Years, Hozier, Sia, Maroon 5, and Sam Smith & John Legend all hang around for another seven days.
