Arrivals is the Irish singer-songwriter's highest-charting album to date.
Following its highly anticipated release last Friday, Declan O'Rourke's new album, Arrivals, has debuted at No.2 on the Official Irish Albums Chart this week. The acclaimed Paul Weller-produced project is O'Rourke's highest-charting album to date – outperforming 2016's In Full Colour, which peaked at No.3 – and was the best-selling on CD and vinyl.
Arrivals was crowned Hot Press's Album of the Month in our new issue – which also features a must-read interview with the singer-songwriter.
Elsewhere on the chart, Taylor Swift debuts at No.1 on the chart, with Fearless (Taylor's Version) – her sixth chart-topping project in Ireland. The original Fearless album peaked at No.7 in 2009.
