Following the release of her debut EP, Undercover Heartbreak, last Friday, Saibh Skelly entered this week's Official Irish Albums Chart at No.10.

The EP, released via Rubyworks, is a collection of five cover songs that inspired the 18-year-old singer and her friends over the course of lockdown.

“Music really helped me during lockdown,” she tells Hot Press in our new issue. “I think during that time, everyone found something they realised they needed in their life. These particular songs are what made me feel happy.”

Hailing from Dublin, Saibh kicked off her career as a busker on Grafton Street. More recently, she's been tipped as one of our 'Hot For 2021' Irish Acts, and has clocked up nearly 56,000 monthly listeners on Spotify.

Elsewhere on the Official Irish Albums Chart, Wet Leg have scored the highest new entry, with their self-titled debut album entering at No.4.

Olivia Rodrigo is back at No.1 with SOUR, Ed Sheeran rises to No.2 with =, Little Mix jump up to No.3 with Between Us, and Dermot Kennedy is at No.5 with Without Fear.

On the Official Irish Singles Chart, meanwhile, Harry Styles claims a second week at No.1 with 'As It Was' – clocking in at fewer than 100 chart sales ahead of this week's No.2, Jack Harlow's 'First Class'.

They're followed by Dave's 'Starlight' at No.3, Belters Only's 'Make Me Feel Good' featuring Jazzy at No.4, and Lost Frequencies and Calum Scott's 'Where Are You Now' at No.5.
