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).

Evanna back for another week and it now looks like Deputy Dave won't be returning. There was even a jingle with her name. Same pronuncoiation errors and the mistake with Alex Warren's weeks at number 1 continues but other than that no real issues.

The Maroon 5 song was mentioned at the start of the future breakers section as being one of the songs coming up and although Evanna introduced it after Justin Bieber there was a jingle and the Oasis song kicked in. It may well have been cut when the show was edited. The Ed Sheeran track was played after Shaboozey just ahead of the 6pm news.

Will anyone knock Alex Warren off the top spot? Hopefully it comes soon if only to prevent Evanna from continuing to make that same mistake every week. Speaking of mistakes I'm sue I heard her saying sombr had this week's highest climber though Olivia Dean actually moved up by 17 in comparison to 12 to 12's 16 place jump. I may be wrong there as I was out at a gig last night and was only able to speeed listen to the show this evening. The gig in question was mentioned during the show as it was the final in a series of shows at Custom House Square in Belfast. This was an error which I did pick up on fairly quickly as according to Evanna, Nile Rodgers had played last night (ie: Saturday) with Chic playing tonight (Sunday).

A relatively error free show and that will hopefully continue with Alex Warren's run at the top over (for now)! There was a slight blip during the Top 10 recap when Evanna missed out Chappell Roan at 5 and instead announced Sabrina Carpenter as the highest new entry at 5 before telling us that Ed Sheeran was still at 3.

Stuart Robinson was back today and brought the recaps. There was a slight technical hitch after Ocean finished when the "number 14" and "number 13 jingles were played togeter before we heard No Broke Boys followed by Survive. This was where the recaps came in very handy as Stuart confirmed that Lewis was at 14 and Disco Lines at 13.

An unexpected trip to Belfast this afternoon meant that I only managed to tune in just as the number 30 jingle played. Listened to the first few songs on the car radio and have gone on the playlist for the show for the first 10 so if there are any errors let me know.

Not sure where it came from but having told us that Sam Fender ft Elton John was the highest new entry at 15 and playing it then and later playing Lewis Capaldi and telling us he was at 10 Evanna proceeded to tell us the former was new at 10 when doing the countdown.

One essential thing I expect from a chart show presenter is that they can pronounce the names of the artists and songs they are introducing. Another one that Evanna seems to have problems with is the artist at 37 whose surname she pronounces as Sapeero (like Helen without the h)

Also her use of the phrase "coming in at..." is starting to grate.

Someone seems to pointed out the correct pronounciation of Sienna Spiro's name as Evanna got it correct. A pretty static chart this week with the sames songs in the top 10 as last week and only Kehlani dropping out (from 36) being replaced by Mumford and Sons ft Hozier.
