Stellar week for Irish acts in the Album Charts

New to the charts are Dublin brothers Hudson Taylor, whose EP ‘Feel it Again’ debuted at No 4 on its first week. Harry and Alfie, who played a sold-out gig on Wednesday night at the Olympia Theatre, are the highest charting Irish act this week.

Another new arrival is George Ezras’s ‘Staying at Tamara’s’, which charted in second place on its first week.

The soundtrack to The Greatest Showman, starring Hugh Jackman and Zac Efron, somehow spends its tenth week at the top of the Irish charts, enjoying a run that ended Ed Sheeran’s recent success with Divide.

Kildare lads Picture This’ self titled album climbed a place to fifth, in its thirtieth week on the Irish charts.

Dreams – the Collection by the Cranberries, which saw a resurgence since the tragic death of Dolores O’Riordan in January, makes the top 10 too.
