Future Breakers

Craig David and JoJo - In It With You (after Bad Dreams)

Rudimental and Jess Glynne - Back To Me
Subtrax - Little Love
Sugababes -Shook
Jax Jones and Emei Stereo Shook

Future breakers were again placed in the middle of the show although Craig David was played just ahead of the 5 o'clock news as there were a few minutes to spare.

The 3 lowest placed Oasis tracks are all re-entries having previously entered when the new concerts were announced last summer. And they are the 3 songs that make the Irish chart this week. There was a slight surprise when we got into the top 20 though as Acquiesce which didn't chart last year makes it's debut at 14.

Another new presenter this week - I presume Dave McCalmond was on holiday. This time it was Evanna Maxted. I've seen her name on the website but knew nothing about her. Apparently she has done quite a bit of work on CBBC and CBeebies. Again no recaps but was paying attention in terms of how many places songs were moving (Levi Heron being the biggest faller) and identifying the re-entries as being exactly that. One minor mistake when she said that BlackPink was the highest and only new entry though Disco Lines had sneaked in for a first week at 40.

Future breakers were all played ahead of the Top 20 and the Top 10 countdown was just before the number 2.

Evanna was back and managed to squeeze in 6 future breakers, the bulk of which came just before the Top 20. In fairness she was rattling through the chart at some speed so the new one from Leigh-Anne just before the 5 o'clock news was more of a filler. And from she said at the end of the programme it sounds like she'll be back next week too.

Can't find much to fault Evanna on this week. Still making the same mistake in terms of Alex Warren's 18 consecutive weeks at number 1 however. Minor quibles are her pronounciations of Azizam and Dior and constant socials references (that might just be an age thing on my part though).
