Here's Ireland's Christmas No 1

US singer Gracie Abrams has held off competition from festive classics by The Pogues and Mariah Carey to claim Ireland's Christmas No 1 with her song That’s So True.

The 25-year-old LA native has outsold Carey’s All I Want For Christmas Is You and Fairytale Of New York by The Pogues and Kirsty MacColl as well as seasonal favourites Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree by Brenda Lee and Jingle Bell Rock by Bobby Helms in this week’s new Irish singles chart.

She is also still riding high in a female dominated album chart with her album The Secret of Us at No 6.
