Noel Gallagher comes in at No. 2 on Irish Album Charts on opening week

Buoyed by the all the controversy he's been causing after renewed public rifts with his brother, as well as shooting from the hip about Jeremy Corbyn, Donald Trump and a host of musicians, Noel Gallagher has climbed to one spot off the top of the Irish Charts with his latest album.

He's just beaten to the top spot by Christy Moore, who enjoys his second week at No. 1 with On The Road.

Elsewhere, Ed Sheeran, Taylor Swift, Sam Smith and Picture This all remain high on the top ten.
