Here are the most popular songs in Ireland for 2018

Paul Moore

George Ezra

George Ezra reigns supreme.

George Ezra is definitely riding shotgun because when it comes to the biggest songs in Ireland for 2018, the English singer is out in front.

Shotgun was the most popular single of the year in Ireland across all formats – digital download, audio stream and video stream – and the No. 1 single accumulated combined sales of 114,000.

That’s not the only Ezra release in the top 10 though because Paradise – a better track in this writer’s humble opinion – charted at number 5.

Those three gigs of his  in Ireland will be absolutely wedged!

Elsewhere, 2018 was a good year for Dua Lipa because she had two 2018 chart-toppers One Kiss (with Calvin Harris) and IDGAF in the top 5.

The only other artists with three songs in the Top 40 are Post Malone and Ed Sheeran (he’s always there).

Tracks form Drake, Rudiemental, Anne-Marie, and Ariana Grande complete the top 10.

Here’s the list in full.

LISTEN: You Must Be Jokin’ with Aideen McQueen – Faith healers, Coolock craic and Gigging as Gaeilge
