The biggest singles and albums released in 2019 by Irish acts
09.01.2020 - 10:56 / officialcharts.com
2019 was a solid year for Irish music, with a three-fold increase in the number of homegrown artists reaching Number 1 on the Official Irish Albums Chart.
One of those chart toppers was Dermot Kennedy, whose debut album Without Fear was the biggest Irish album of the year. Without Fear was also the fastest-selling album of the year by an Irish soloist, the biggest vinyl seller by a domestic act, and spent more weeks at the helm than any other album, homegrown or international.
