After a 54 weeks on the Irish album chart, the indestructible The Greatest Showman soundtrack is still Number One in this week’s largely static best-selling albums run-down.
The soundtrack to the movie starring Hugh Jackman topped the end of year chart in 2018, with 64,400 combined sales and a total of 16 weeks at Number One.
Musicals have truly taken over (did someone mention South Pacific?) with the A Star Is Born soundtrack at Number Two this week after ending the year with 37,000 combined sales and a total of 11 weeks at Number One.
Dublin singer Dermot Kennedy debuts at No. 8 with his self-titled debut album and there is no stopping George Ezra, whose second album Staying at Tamara's has taken up residency in the Irish Top 10.
