New singles from Billie Eilish and Dermot Kennedy storm into this week’s Official Irish Singles Chart Top 5.

American alt-pop artist Billie Eilish makes the strongest debut of the week with the title track from her Number 1 album Happier Than Ever debuting at Number 3. The song is the fifth Irish Top 10 hit from the album following My Future (8), Therefore I Am (1), Your Power (3) and Lost Cause (9).

Two more album tracks, Getting Older and Oxytocin, enter at 23 and 24 to take Billie’s total of Top 50 hits to 20.
