Kate Bush claims triumphant week at Number 1 on the Official Irish Singles Chart with Running Up That Hill

Kate Bush triumphs on the Official Irish Singles Chart this week, as her 1985 single Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God) reaches Number 1.

Denying Harry Styles an 11^th week on top, Running Up That Hill leapfrogs both As It Was (2) and Lizzo’s About Damn Time (3), rising from Number 3 to Number 1 and reaching the top spot for the first time.

Meanwhile, Scottish DJ duo LF SYSTEM rocket 12 places to Number 5 with breakout track Afraid To Feel – setting themselves up to be major players in the chart race over the coming weeks.

Dermot Kennedy’s Something To Someone rises to Number 4, while Better Days re-enters the chart at Number 13 following two nights at St Anne’s Park last week. Dermot also sees Outnumbered re-enter the Top 50 at 21, and Meduza collaboration Paradise land at Number 31.

Following the release of his new album Gold Rush Kid, George Ezra’s Green Green Grass flies 12 places to a new peak of 16, landing just ahead of Japanese artist Joji who claims the highest new entry of the week with Glimpse Of Us at 17, and OneRepublic’s Top Gun: Maverick single I Ain’t Worried which is up 24 spots to Number 20.

Further down, Belters Only return with another dance banger, I Will Survive (26), a reworking of the iconic Gloria Gaynor hit, Benzz jumps 13 with Je M’appelle (29), and K-pop legends BTS earn another big new entry with Yet To Come (34).

Finally, Irish DJ Welshy sees his summer-ready bop All Day ft. Nonô fly into the Top 50 at Number 48.
