Ryan O'Shaugnessy rose to fame after an emotional audition on Britain's Got Talent and a few months later and the BIMM Dublin student's self-titled debut has shot straight to the top of the Irish album chart.
Emeli Sandé's Our Version of Events is in second place followed by Ed Sheeran's + which claimed the top position last week.
Elsewhere in the singles chart Icelandic six-piece Of Monsters and Men have climbed to the top spot with their jaunty acoustic anthem 'Little Talks' knocking Rita Ora's 'How We Do (Party)' to number two.
Ryan O'Shaugnessy makes an impression in the singles chart as well with his song 'No Name' in third position.
