Donegal\u2019s Muireann Bradley has become the youngest female artist in 22 years to top the Official British Jazz & Blues Chart.<\/p>\n
The Ballybofey singer (19) made the mark yesterday with her double EP, Rose Dogs and Blackwood Pew.<\/p>\n
Muireann is now the youngest female artist to sit at the top of the chart since Katie Melua in 2004.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m as astounded as I am delighted that my double EP has reached number 1 on the UK Jazz and Blues Charts,\u201d she posted on social media.<\/p>\n
\u201cI feel very honoured when I think of some of the artists that have achieved this before me over the last 30 years. Thank you to everyone who came to shows and bought LPs, CDs and downloads. Apparently I\u2019m the youngest female artist in 22 years to reach this position, which is crazy!\u201d<\/p>\n
Muireann made a breakthrough appearance on Jool\u2019s Annual Hootenanny on New Year\u2019s Eve 2023, which was watched by a worldwide audience of millions on BBC<\/p>\n
Since then she has been touring the US and Europe, but her feet remain firmly on the ground.<\/p>\n
