Imelda May’s 11 Past The Hour debuts at Number 1 on the Official Irish Albums Chart, becoming the first chart-topping album by an Irish female soloist in almost five years.
Not since Lisa Hannigan’s At Swim topped the charts in August 2016 has a homegrown female artist reached the top spot, but Imelda ends that spell with her sixth studio album.
11 Past The Hour is the 19th album by an Irish female solo artist or female-fronted act to reach Number 1 since 2000. Claiming the most CD and download sales this week, 11 Past The Hour marks Imelda’s fourth Number 1 following Love Tattoo (2009), Mayhem (2010) and Tribal (2014).
