IRMA is the copyright holder of the Irish charts. OCC hosts the Irish chart on their website as it does with the American charts. You can see from the url the copyright holder is IRMA and OCC is hosting this information. It is incorrect to reference OCC as the holder of the Irish charts.

Seventeen Going Under is the second studio album by English musician Sam Fender. The album was released on 8 October 2021 through Polydor Records. The album explores Fender's upbringing and how it has impacted who he is today, exploring both his outward nihilism as well as his internal self-examination. Three singles were released ahead of the album: the title track, "Get You Down" and "Spit of You".

The album received universal acclaim from music critics and was also a commercial success becoming Fender's second number one album in the UK Albums Chart and Scottish albums chart. It also peaked at number 4 in the Irish albums chart. NME named Seventeen Going Under the best album of 2021, topping their year-end list, and was named the best indie rock album of 2021 by PopMatters. The album also received a nomination at the 42nd Brit Awards in the British Album of the Year category[8] and won the awards for Best Album by a UK Artist and Best Album in the World at the 2022 NME Awards.[9] The album was nominated for the 2022 Mercury Prize.[10]

Critical reception

On review aggregator Metacritic, the album has a score of 83 out of 100 based on nine critics' reviews, indicating "universal acclaim".[11] The Guardian writer Alexis Petridis gave the album five out of five stars and named it his album of the week, calling it "urgent, incisive and brave when it would have been easier for Fender to deck out his festival-ready, TikTok-able melodies with something notably blander and less pointed" and "really powerful".[12] Roisin O'Connor of The Independent felt that Fender had refined both "his songwriting and his sound" from his debut, calling the first six songs "far stronger" lyrically than the rest of the album, and summarised Fender as celebrating surviving the "politicised, polarised and [...] permanent state of anxiety" that the world is in.[13]
