Bruce Springsteen keeps Official Irish Albums Chart top spot for second week with Western Stars

Lil Nas X's 7 EP is this week's highest new entry.

Bruce Springsteen rules the roost for a second week on the Official Irish Albums Chart. The Boss’ eighth Number 1 album in total, Western Stars marks his fourth chart topper on Irish soil this decade, more than any other international solo artist.

Western Stars finished narrowly ahead of Lewis Capaldi’s Divinely Uninspired to a Hellish Extent, holding on to the top spot by 304 combined sales.

Elsewhere in the Top 5, George Ezra’s Staying at Tamara’s lifts six to Number 4 following a string of live shows, and Dermot Kennedy’s self-titled collection reaches a new peak for the second week in a row, advancing one place to Number 5.

Lil Nas X’s 7 EP is this week’s highest new entry at Number 11, two slots ahead of Late Night Feelings, the fourth chart entry for Mark Ronson at Number 13. Following the release of his new single Canter, Scottish singer Gerry Cinnamon is back in the Top 50. Originally peaking at Number 50 in March, his debut album Erratic Cinematic hits new heights this week at Number 22.

Help Us Stranger by The Raconteurs and False Alarm from Two Door Cinema Club are new entries at 24 and 28 respectively, while The Beatles’ 1 greatest hits returns to the chart at 36 following the release of the film Yesterday, centred around the band’s classic hits.

Finally, Lana Del Rey’s former Number 1 album Born To Die resurfaces at 41 following her show at Malahide Castle last weekend.
