Saw Doctors go top three

The Saw Doctors, one of Ireland's most enduring acts are back in the frame. Their To Win Just Once, The Best Of The Saw Doctors album has debuted at No.3 in the Irish album charts.

The album, which contains a number of updated versions of their hits, is released by Universal Music and is backed by a TV advertising campaign.

It debuts just behind Cheryl Cole's 3 Words, which enters the charts at No.2, giving Universal two out of the top three albums this week.

However, still at No.1 is Michael Bublé, whose Crazy Love tops the charts or the second week running.

Other Irish new entrants this week include Swell Season, whose Strict Joy enters at No.19, just one slot behind the evergreen Daniel O'Donnell who is at No.18 with Peace In The Valley. U2's remastered anniversary edition of The Unforgettable Fire also performs well entering at No.30.

Morrissey's Swords is at No.81 in the first week of its release.

Meanwhile in the singles charts, Westlife have just failed to unseat Cheryl Cole's 'Fight For This Love', with their 'What About Now', the first single release from the album Where We Are, which is scheduled for release on November 30th and will battle hard for the Christmas No.1 slot.
