George Ezra scores a third week at Number 1 on the Official Irish Singles Chart

It seems there’s no stopping George Ezra, as his latest single Shotgun notches up a third week at Number 1 on the Official Irish Singles Chart

The track, taken from his second album Staying At Tamara’s, finishes comfortably ahead of its closest rival, Clean Bandit’s Solo ft. Demi Lovato (2), while Jonas Blue’s Rise ft. Jack & Jack leaps four places to Number 3 and could challenge for next week’s top spot.

Speaking to OfficialCharts.com/Ireland, George said: "I never thought that this would happen. The thing that’s most amazing about it is the fact that all of you out there are sharing the song and playing it loud and enjoying it with your summer, which is exactly what I wanted. I can’t thank you enough."
