Hudson Taylor score their first Number 1 on the Official Irish Albums Chart with Loving Everywhere I Go

Congratulations to Hudson Taylor, who claim their first Number 1 on this week’s Official Irish Albums Chart with Loving Everywhere I Go.

The latest record from brothers Harry and Alfie is the best-selling album of the week on physical and download formats and marks their third Top 5 collection, following their 2015 debut Singing To Strangers (3) and 2018 EP Feel It Again (4).

On hearing the news, Hudson Taylor said: "In the twelve years since we started this journey as just two lads with guitars singing into a dodgy webcam, getting the recognition of a Number 1 album has been a dare-not-to-say-out-loud dream.

"This week every single person who listened, bought, promoted Loving Everywhere I Go made that happen. We're floored and eternally grateful to all of you."
