Niall Horan has surpassed sales of Eminem’s new album, Music to be Murdered By, to claim the biggest chart week of 2020 with his new album, Heartbreak Weather. 

The Mullingar man’s second album has followed his debut, Flicker, to the top of the Irish chart and also outsold by two to one the ubiquitous Lewis Capaldi and his seemingly unstoppable Divinely Uninspired to a Hellish Extent. 

Horan celebrated his achievement with a thank you post on Instagram from his house in London. 
 

Also on this week’s album chart, The Boomtown Rats’ first album in 36 years, Citizens of Boomtown, has debuted at No.12 and is this week’s best-selling album on vinyl.
