The Script top UK and Irish album charts
Move over Abba, Irish 'Celtic soul' lads The Script have torn up the plot across the water, where their debut album has crashed in at Number One in the album charts.
The Hot Press Newsdesk, 18 Aug 2008
Album The Script has pushed Abba's Gold greatest hits into second, Duffy's Rockferry into third, and taken the Number One in their native land to boot.
Also doing well is single 'The Man Who Can't Be Moved', which is holding down Number Three in the UK singles chart.
Writing on the band's Myspace page, guitarist Mark thanked all comers for their support and announced plans to have a celebratory drink.

Tete-at-tetes with Paul McCartney, praise from John Mayer, support slots with U2 and Take That... it’s been a whirlwind two years for THE SCRIPT. But, with a new album that confronts weighty subjects such as the recession, it’s clear these three Dublin lads still have their feet firmly on the ground. They talk about channelling their inner Manic Street Preacher, and explain why, despite their success, they won’t be splashing out on Rolexes. words Stuart Clark
