Meath band HamSandwicH are Ireland's new No 1 with their new release Stories from The Surface. They top an album chart dominated by Irish artists.
The band are one of five Irish acts including a new entry from Mundy, in the new Top 10.
Writing on their Facebook page, HamsandwicH said: "We are beyond ECSTATIC to announce that our new album ‘Stories from the Surface’ is this week’s NUMBER 1 in the Irish charts!
"THANK YOU to EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU who bought the album on CD or by downloading it. In this day and age, buying an album now seems like a thing that people did back in the day . . . so it really is amazing to see so many people are still buying music and supporting an independent band such as HamsandwicH.
"The reaction to this album over this past week has been overwhelming to say the least. We love the fact that so many of you are into the music we created. Enjoy and spread the word!!!"
