The fresh-faced Aussies see their album debut at No. 1.
It was clash of the 'beloved by teens' titans this week on the Irish Albums Chart, with 5 Seconds Of Summer looking to displace the imperious Ed Sheeran from the top spot.
Well, mission accomplished – the pop-punkers are in with a golden bullet, hitting number one with their second album Sounds Good Feels Good. It should make those April dates in Dublin all the sweeter next year.
Sheeran's second studio effort, X, is still going great guns though – it's at No. 2 well over a year on from its release.
Another new entry in third position. Andrea Bocelli's latest effort Cinema finds the Italian with the golden voice tackling classic film soundtracks and scores. We're guessing the No. 3 entry had a slightly different audience picking up copies to the two acts above it.
He was a part of the biggest Late Late Show of the year so far for their country special, and even despite a fairly cringey gaffe, it's done his sales the world of good. His Beautiful Life leaps from no. 17 o No. 4. Wee Daniel also saw his Hank Williams Songbook chart at No. 11.

Rounding off this week's Top 5 is Taylor Swift's 1989.
Other notable new arrivals came in the form of Divers by Joanna Newsom (8) and Sermon On The Rocks by Josh Ritter (13).
Very good they are too.
