They promised and delivered: Calvin Harris & Sam Smith's new collaboration Promises takes the Number 1 spot on this week's Official Irish Singles Chart. 

The track climbs from 2 to 1, pushing last week's chart-topper - Benny Blanco's Eastside ft. Halsey & Khalid - down to second place. 

Sam, who is currently on tour in America, said: "I am so overwhelmed that Promises has got to Number 1 back home!! Thank you to every single person who has supported this song. And thank you to Calvin for being such a legend. I can’t wait to be home soon. I miss my mum's roast dinners desperately x".

Promises earns Calvin a seventh chart-topper overall and a second in 2018. Calvin's previous leaders in Ireland are: One Kiss (2018), This Is What You Came For (2016), Summer (2014), Sweet Nothing (2012), We'll Be Coming Back (2012), We Found Love (with Rihanna, 2011).

For Sam Smith, it's his second Number 1, following Stay With Me in 2014.

Eminem bags the three highest new entries with tracks from his surprise album Kamikaze, led by The Ringer at Number 6, followed by Lucky You ft. Joyner Lucas at 7, taking his tally of Top 10 hits to an impressive 22. One more album track, Greatest, opens at Number 11. 

Elsewhere, Marshmello + Bastille's Happier continues to push towards the Top 10, up five places to 13, while supergroup LSD - Sia, Labrinth and Diplo - enter the Top 50 at 22 with Thunderclouds. The fourth release from the collaborative project soars 31 places following the release of its stunning music video.
