Olivia Rodrigo has accelerated ahead of the competition once again, picking up a ninth week at Number 1 on the Official Irish Singles Chart with Drivers License.

The 18-year-old Californian’s reign at Number 1 is the longest since August 2019, when Shawn Mendes & Camila Cabello’s Senorita also notched up nine weeks at the top.

Nine weeks at Number 1 sees Drivers License surpass eight-week reigns in the last two years for Tones and I’s Dance Monkey, Saint Jhn’s Roses and DaBaby’s Rockstar ft. Roddy Ricch.
