The soundtrack to Bradley Cooper's directorial debut has proven a major hit with Irish fans, claiming a second week at Number 1 on the Offical Irish Album's chart. The album, which contains vocals from the film's two leads, Cooper and Lady Gaga, has also held on to the number one spot for two consecutive weeks on the Billboard 200 Chart.

Moreover, the uplifting single "Shallow" from A Star is Born has landed a second week at number 1 in the Official Irish Singles Charts.
