Rihanna Forces Madonna To 'Take A Bow' In Ireland

Rihanna has forced Madonna to 'Take A Bow' from the #1 spot in Ireland, frog leaping four places to claim pole position above the Ting Tings and Usher in the process. Dustin the Turkey enjoyed a mini revival with his Eurovision entry 'Irelande Douze Points' at #8 but suffered an early exit from the Eurovision Song Contest on Tuesday as Europe failed to get the Irish humour.

Last week Rihanna failed to gain a second #1 in the UK singles chart (Ting Tings went to #1 instead) and in Ireland she was only #5, but today 'Take A Bow' became the highest climber in the Irish Top 10 and the new number one. The single shouldn't be confused with the 1984 Madonna single with the same title that only managed 16th and became the lowest charting Madonna track.

In the album chart the Ting Tings had the highest entry with 'We Started Nothing' at #3 while Bruce Springsteen enjoyed having four albums in the Irish Top 100.
