Not even the combined might of Harry Styles and his new direction and Imelda May's break-up album can dislodge Ed Sheeran from the top of the new Irish chart countdowns.
Sheeran, who played the second of his two sell-out gigs at Dublin's 3Arena on Thursday night, remains at the top of both the singles and albums charts.
Ed's still a huge seller in both streaming and physical sales with his new album ÷ (Divide) and the singles Shape of You and Galway Girl.
Thank you to every single person who came to Whelan's Dublin last night. Surreal to pack it out and to have some surprise guests! Much love. pic.twitter.com/JRZX9ztgZ5

After his Dublin show on Thursday night, Ed popped down to Whelan's on Wexford Street to catch Irish duo Apella in action. Also in the audience were Oscar-nominee Saoirse Ronan and Irish footballer Damien Duff. Oh, and Jedward were there too.
