Nicki Minaj's Queen leads four new entries on this week's Official Irish Albums Chart

Nicki Minaj leads four new entries on this week's Official Irish Albums Chart, including one by legendary folk singer Seán Keane.

The US rapper's fourth album Queen scores the highest new entry of the week at Number 5, her second Top 10 collection on the chart after 2012's Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded. 

The cast recording of Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again leads the way at Number 1 for a fourth week, followed by another soundtrack - The Greatest Showman - at 2. 

New entries and high climbers 

Elsewhere, US rapper Trippie Redd scores a Top 20 debut with his first studio album Life's A Trip at Number 16, and a new Elvis Presley album called Where No One Stands Alone - featuring 14 performances of gospel songs with newly-recorded instrumentation and backing vocals - lands at Number 27. 

Newcomer Billie Eilish continues to climb with her debut Don't Smile At Me, up five places to 29, and Irish singer and musician Seán Keane is new at Number 34 with Gratitude - his twelfth album and first in four years. 

Discussing the album, which was recorded with the RTÉ Concert Orchestra, Keane said: "Gratitude in reality is 50 years in the making since I started to sing at home in Caherlistrane and going on to perform with bands and as a solo artist. I am grateful for the gifts of music I have been given and the wonderful journey they have brought me on from learning my very first song in Carragh."
