Marina & The Diamonds top the Irish album chart

Straight in at #1...

The Hot Press Newsdesk, 04 May 2012

There's a new queen in town this week as Marina & The Diamonds' Electra Heart makes its bow right at the top of the Irish album chart, deposing last week's chart-toppers Aslan, whose Nudie Books And Frenchies drops to third place.

That means a resurgence of sorts for Mick Flannery, with the Corkman's Red To Blue up one place to #2. Jack White's debut effort Blunderbuss drops to #4 while Dublin-bound Alabama Shakes leap an impressive 11 spots to #5.

One Direction, Adele, Nicki Minaj, Bruce Springsteen and Lana Del Rey round out a pretty familiar top ten. To view the full chart, click here.

She is the brightest pop star of the moment. But Marina Diamandis – who records as Marina and the Diamonds – doesn’t want to be a blink-and-she’s-gone starlet. As her debut album is released she tells Paul Nolan why she’s in it for the long haul, why celebrity culture has spun out of control and why she’s putting romance on hold to build her career.
