Adele’s 30 secures fifth week atop Official Irish Albums Chart

Adele’s 30 holds firm at the top spot to claim Ireland’s 2021 Christmas Number 1 album.

The superstar’s fourth studio record logs a fifth week at the summit, finishing ahead of Ed Sheeran’s = at 2, and ABBA’s Voyage at 3.

Michael Bublé’s popular Christmas album lifts a further two spots to Number 4 ahead of the big day itself, while three Irish acts feature inside the Top 10: Dermot Kennedy’s Without Fear at 5, Christy Moore’s Flying Into Mystery at 6, and Westlife’s Wild Dreams at 7.

Further down, several albums make big leaps back up the chart, including Coldplay’s Music Of The Spheres, which rebounds 18 spots to 26 following the news they plan to split in 2025.

Amy Winehouse’s classic Back To Black zooms 20 places to Number 29, Fleetwood Mac’s Greatest Hits also vaults 20 to Number 39, and Gary Barlow’s The Dream Of Christmas returns to the Top 50, up 36 places to Number 44.
