Kings of Leon top the charts again

The Kings are No. 1 in the Irish chart for the second week running, while there are new entries from Joe McElderry, The Wanted and Taylor Swift

Kings of Leon's latest album Come Around Sundown has held on to the top spot of the Irish chart for a second week running. The band are rumoured to be headlining Slane this year. Keep an eye on hotpress.com for updates...

Michael Bublé climbs one spot from No. 3 to No. 2 with Crazy Love, while Dublin's The Script are at No. 3 with sophomore offering Science & Faith.

They say good things come in threes, and who are we to argue! The fourth, fifth and sixth spots are all held by new entries this week - at No. 4 is Irish singer Tommy Fleming (who is No. 1 in this week's Indie chart) with Going Back. No. 5 is Geordie X-Factor phenomenon Joe McElderry with his debut Wide Awake, and straight in at No. 6 is American C&W; sweetheart (don't tell Kanye) Taylor Swift, with her latest album, Speak Now.
