Cavan R&B terriers™ The Strypes have scored a big victory and knocked Ed Sheeran off the top of the Irish charts with their new album Little Victories.
Further afield, there was even more good news for the Cavan rockers as the album entered the UK charts at a very respectable number 17.
This week's only other new entry in the top 10 is Jess Glynne's Cry When I Laugh, while the Straight Outta Compton effect has propelled Dr Dre's acclaimed new album Compton up 11 places to No 4. Can't Feel My Face by The Weeknd spends its second week at No 1 on the singles chart.
