The Script scored three Number 1 singles this decade: For The First Time (2010); Hall of Fame featuring will.i.am (2013); and Superheroes (2014), tied with Jedward for the most achieved since 2010 by an Irish act.

On the Official Irish Albums Chart, The Script have achieved five chart-topping records this decade, the most for an Irish act, and the joint-most overall tied with One Direction and Nathan Carter. The Script’s Number 1 albums since 2010 are: Science & Faith (2010); #3 (2012); No Sound Without Silence (2014); Freedom Child (2017); and Sunsets & Full Moons (2019).

The Script’s second studio album Science & Faith is also the fastest-selling album of the decade by an Irish act after it shifted 13,200 copies in its first week of release back in September 2010.

In addition, The Script claimed a Number 1 album back in 2008 with their self-titled debut, meaning 2019’s chart topper Sunsets & Full Moons extended their 100% track record of Number 1 studio albums to six.
