Stuart Robinson was standing in this week for what was the final chart show to be broadcast from the current studio. This might seem slightly odd but last month Downtown Radio celebrated it's 50th birthday and this is coinciding with a move to brand new premises from the station's home since it started broadcasting in 1976.

Apologies for the delay! Was away on Sunday for most of the day and then out at a gig on Monday.

Well if it wasn't already obvious from the way the show normally starts - no intro from Evanna in recent weeks and straight into last week's number one - this week we had an awkward gap before she started speaking.

Bizarrely just after back announcing Prospa and Cloonee's song being a new entry she then proceeded to tell us that she was about to play this week's firsst new entry (even ignoring that Billie Jean is technically a re-entry). Soon after she mentioned that Blessing had gone back up 9 places so it looks like there is at least a top 50.

Maybe it's just me but her obsession with Taylor Swift is really annoying. And before / after both sombr tracks were played this week we heard the same interview snippet of Taylor saying that she is a big fan of his songwriting. Evanna also randomly played a clip from a Michael Buble interview from the BBC.

Well that came as a surprise! As we moved up through the top 10 I was assuming that Chemical Brothers had done really well only for Evanna to announce that Ariana Grande had entered the chart at number 3.

And wording really is everything. After playing Ordinary Evanna went on to tell us that "He got 27 number 1s with that!"

Very little talk of the Taylor Swift wedding in the end. Mind you that was maybe to be expected as the show seems to have been recorded before the event so Evanna had to keep it general.

So the inevitable wedding talk was avoided as Deputy Dave stood in this week. Ironically Evanna was away on her own hen do.

Although Sign of The Times hasn't appeared in the chart since I started listening, Dave categorically referred to it as a re-entry so it has obviously been in there at some point.

More irony as The Script's latest single was played as a future breaker followed shortly afterwards by a re-entry from Oasis!

I was away for most of the day so once again grabbing the info from the catchup. Regarding number 21 I'm pretty sure that it is the original version of Total Eclipse of The Heart which has charted but Evanna introduced and played the Only Men Aloud version.

While it's nice to hear references to the way singles are moving it's even nicer to hear the correct data. On at least 2 occasions Evanna referred to Movin' To The Sun as joint highest climber even though it was the only one to climb 12 places. I presume she miscounted for Dracula which climbed 11 places.**

Even more bizarre was her constant references to a non existent bank holiday weekend. Tomorrow is a bank holiday but in the Republic of Ireland.

**EDIT** That's what I get for not paying attention. I had put the wrong Taylor Swift song at 17. The other joint climber is therefore Fate of Ophelia up from 29 to 17. a bank holiday but in the Republic of Ireland.

EDIT Missing chart from 09.08.26 added in

Lewis Capaldi - Stay Love

The future breaker from Lewis Capaldi is a bit of a strange one as it actually spent 5 weeks in the chart back in April / May peaking at 21. Presumably they are expecting it to return to the chart following Lewis's sell-out show in Belfast during the week which was part of the Vital festival. That same festival also seems to be the reason for the early ending to the chart this week with Evanna coming out of the number 1 at 6:53 in order to fit in Rihanna's We Found Love which featured last night;s Vital headliner Calvin Harris.

With an initial chart run of 22-20-out followed by a return a week later at 20 it looked like there was something funny going on with Kingfshr's The Sun Will Never Settle. It's 2nd spell in the chart was 20-23-21-23-23 and now it has dropped out again. I'd say there's a strong possibilty of a return next week and probaby around the 20 mark.
