Billi Eilish's debut album When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? is topping Irish charts.
Billie Eilish has made it a month at Number 1 on the Official Irish Albums Chart.
The Californian’s debut album When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? was the most purchased album on CD of the past seven days, also racking up the most streams of the week.
A fourth week at Number 1 means Billie surpasses Hozier as the solo artist with the most weeks leading the Top 50 so far in 2019.
Beyoncé also returns to the Official Irish Albums Chart with three entries this week. After releasing her former Number 1 record Lemonade to streaming services on Tuesday (April 23), the album returns to the Top 10 at Number 7. Revealed last week, the Texan’s live album Homecoming – this week’s highest new entry - bows at Number 20 after its first full week of release, and the renewed interest in Queen Bey sees her self-titled album reappear at Number 42.
Loyle Carner earns his first Top 50 appearance with Not Waving, But Drowning (26), ahead of new Rolling Stones compilation Honk (30), and finally, Lizzo’s Cuz I Love You (44).
As for singles, Old Town Road by Lil Nas X is Ireland’s biggest song for a third consecutive week.
