Dermot Kennedy scores Number 1 debut album with Without Fear

Congratulations to Dermot Kennedy, who lands straight in at Number 1 on this week’s Official UK Albums Chart with his debut album Without Fear. 

The singer-songwriter leads ten new releases in this week’s Top 40, and becomes the first Irish solo artist to score a chart-topping debut album in almost 20 years - since Ronan Keating’s solo debut Ronan in July 2000.

Dermot knocks last week’s Number 1, The Beatles’ Abbey Road, down to 2, while Ed Sheeran’s No.6 Collaborations Project rebounds from 6 to 3 as the collection’s latest spin-off South of the Border scales the Official Singles Chart.
