Beyoncé earns the Official Irish Chart Double following the release of her seventh studio album, RENAISSANCE.

As the album itself finishes in first place across all formats - physical, downloads and streaming - to become her latest chart-topping collection on the Official Irish Albums Chart, its lead single Break My Soul also claims Number 1 this week on the Official Irish Singles Chart, dethroning Kate Bush’s Running Up That Hill following an impressive seven weeks at Number 1.

Bey’s influence on the Irish Singles Chart continues further down, as she claims the two highest new entries of the week with ALIEN SUPERSTAR (17) and CUFF IT (18).

Calvin Harris, Justin Timberlake, Halsey and Pharrell climb to a new peak of 23 with Stay With Me, while Sigala & Talia Mar’s Stay The Night rises four to Number 25.
