The inimitable Taylor Swift has retaken the No.1 spot on the Irish Albums Charts this week with Midnights, fending off a new entry from Irish-Nigerian hip-hop pairing TraviS and Elzzz.

The Gliders founders have landed at No.2 with their impressive new mixtape Full Circle. The 8-track project, which was produced in its entirety by long-time collaborator Liam Harris, sees TraviS & Elzzz reflect on their journey thus far — from freestyling together during lockdown to shaking up the game with their inimitable chemistry on wax.

Over the course of the near-20-minute offering, we get an insight into how two underdogs defied the odds while also creating space for others to forge their own paths on Full Circle. All told, it is an auspicious moment for TraviS & Elzzz – hopefully they can build from here!

Meanwhile, Dublin star Dermot Kennedy's second full-length offering Sonder has dropped down to No.3, while SZA's former chart-topper SOS is down three slots to No.4.

The Weeknd is at No.5 with The Highlights, with Harry Styles' Harry's House, Eminem's Curtain Call - Greatest Hits, Dermot Kennedy's 2019 debut Without Fear, Ed Sheeran's Equals and ABBA Gold rounding out the Top 10.

Elsewhere, The Mary Wallopers have scored their first Top 30 hit, coming in art No.28. They also nabbed the No.2 slot in the Independent Charts
