Billie Eilish claims second Number 1 on the Official Irish Albums Chart with Happier Than Ever

Billie Eilish has earned her second Number 1 on the Official Irish Albums Chart with Happier Than Ever.

The 19-year-old’s second studio album topped all metrics this week – physical, download and streaming – to coast to the top spot with a lead of over 1,500 chart sales. To boot, Billie also claims the biggest week of cassette sales so far in 2021 for a solo artist.

Happier Than Ever joins Billie’s debut When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? as a Number 1 album in Ireland. Her debut spent six non-consecutive weeks ruling the Top 50 and has spent a total of 68 weeks in the Official Irish Albums Chart Top 10 since its April 2019 release.

Dublin indie musician David Kitt claims the week’s second-biggest vinyl sales with his career retrospective 20. Debuting at Number 7, the collection features acoustic reworkings of 20 tracks from his two-decade discography.
