Niall Horan debuts at No.1 on the Official Irish Albums Chart with The Show
He's followed on this week's chart by Harry Styles, Noah Kahan, The Weeknd and Dermot Kennedy.
Following the release of Niall Horan's new album The Show last Friday, the Mullingar star has debuted at No.1 on the Official Irish Albums Chart – and has become his fastest-selling album to date.
It's his third consecutive No.1 album in Ireland, and has scored the biggest Week 1 by an Irish artist this year.
The Show is followed in the Top 3 by two Harry Styles albums – Harry's House and Fine Line – following Niall's former One Direction bandmate's Slane Castle headliner last weekend.
"Where Heartbreak Weather occasionally ran aground in uneven and unfocused pop territory, his new album, The Show, immediately comes across as a much more considered project, with experimentation and nostalgic elements expertly combined and explored," Hot Press's album review reads – going on to describe The Show as Niall's "most convincing collection of tracks to date."

The Top 5 of this week's Official Irish Albums Chart also includes Noah Kahan's Stick Season at No.4 and The Weeknd's The Highlights.
Niall Horan is also expected to claim the No.1 spot on the Official Albums Chart in the UK this evening. It's on course to be his second solo chart-topping album, following 2020's Heartbreak Weather.
On the Official Irish Singles Chart, meanwhile, J Hus's 'Who Told You', featuring Drake, has entered at No.5, while Jazzy's 'Giving Me' remains at No.2, and Dave & Central Cee's 'Sprinter' continues its reign at No.1.
