Getting closer to Christmas and no new entries this week with the return of 3 festive favourites and the 3 that entered last week all making big climbs. A couple of non seasonal songs also return, one of which - by Haven - Evanna claimed as a new entry despite playing it a fortnight ago at number 36. Incidentally the version of AIWFCIY sounds different to me - there's a different intro and the end is different as well - anyone have any ideas where it might come from?

Over the last couple of weeks I've been having problems with the rayo player (https://hellorayo.co.uk/cool-fm/play). Whenever I clicked on the play button to listen to the show I would gett a spinning ciecle and it wouldn't play. It could take 15 minutes or more to start at times. Today I decided to do a google search and it brought up a radioplayer link (https://radioplayer.planetradio.co.uk/coo) which seems to work perfectly.

Slightly confusing this week! I wasn't actually listening to the future breakers but checked up on the recently played list and assumed at first that Eternity had gone bacck up to 20. It was only when I went back to listen at the end that I realised. And what a strange move for Myles Smith at 19. He had been at 18 a fortnight ago.


Also great to hear Chris Ray! And "Wizzard's back! He's at 23"

I don't what it is but while she's a decent enough presenter Evanna has been getting more annoying as the weeks go on. Her constant references to bangers and socials is really starting to grate, not to mention her obsession with Taylor Swift. And don't get me started on the weird habit of recording short snippets of audio from the internet and playing them.

Olivia Dean - The Christmas Song

No future breakers to play this week so Evanna was allowed to select some of her own favourite Christmas songs. Whilst it wasn't a shock to see some further Christmas songs back there were a couple of surprise returns from Alex Warren and Lola Young. One new entry - Kylie doesn't seem to have grabbed the attention of local music lovers as much as elsewhere as X.M.A.S. arrives at 35.

And no-one has told Evanna about Chris Ray yet!

Next week will be the chart of the year.

Future Breakers

Kingfishr - Hold Me Down
Niamh McCrystal - Write It Down
Cian Ducrot - Who's Making You Feel It?

So this week we had the chart of the year and no surprise to see Ordinary at the top of the list. I have no idea how this chart was calculated but there is no way Westlife could have made the chart based on it's chart run of 19 - 32 - out.

Evanna's Taylor Swift obsession is really irritating me now and she must have shares in the KPop show coming to the SSE Arena next year given the number of times she has mentioned it.

Given that Kingfishr had already entered the chart last week I'm assumimng this was more a "potential big hits from Irish acts" thing. At the time of posting I have yet to hear the whole show as I was out during the afternoon and only tuned in around 4.30.

Chart runs for the Top 40 of the year! This was done by copy and pasting each one from my main spreadsheet and editing the non chart weeks out. There is a possibility that somewhere along the way that positions have been deleted in error but I'm 99% sure that this hasn't happened. One thing to point out is with regards songs which were on the Christmas chart announced on Sunday 21st December. To keep my spreadsheet with 52 weeks for the year I copied that chart's column to week 52 (ie: the week 51 chart remains for week 52) although I think in previous years there may have been a newly compiled chart which wasn't broadcast other than a couple of last week positions being announced on the first chart in January. This repeated chart will have the effect of a songs last 2 positions in it's chart run being the same if it was in the Top 40 on 21st December (Messy for example).

Future Breakers

Prince - When Doves Cry
Tiffany - I Think We're Alone Now
Nick Jonas - Gut Punch

A pleasant surprise this week as Stuart Robinson returned to stand in for Evanna. Maybe because he's more my era than her it was nice to hear him after playing Kate Bush reminsicing about some of her other hits and how she was producing hits in the late 70s and early to mid 80s. We also had the return of the recaps. The show was also live - Stuart mentioned during the future breakers slot that the Nick Jonas track reminded him of something else - later on he revealed that the song he had been thinking of was Impossible by James Arthur which he told us had been confirmed by 2 listeners

The sharp eyed will notice that I have listed Zara Larsson and Goo Goo Dolls as being new entries rather than re-entries. This is because although both are old tracks they would have been released in an era where there was no NI chart.

In the 2nd section of the chart Stuart mentioned that Ed Sheeran was climbing with Camera and also that Gone Gone Gone was dropping a place which ties in with no new chart being compiled last week. There was a small error in saying that Shakira was the highest new entry at 17 when Tyla was making it's debut one place higher.

Speaking of errors I discovered one of my own this week. Searching without luck for Kehlani I realised that I had mistyped it on it's original run as Khelani (and in it's first week as Kelani). Typos have now been corrected.

Listening back earlier to the start of last week's show as there seems to have been some kind of issue. Having given up on the rayo website I have recently taken to listening on radioplayer. I was actually slightly late tuning in last week but when I came in Pink Pony Club was already playing although it sounded like it was sticking in parts. Going back to record the first few minutes from rayo I found that the show started with a jingle and went straight to PPC. That was on the Cool FM part. On Downtown the recording started with the news which cuts out suddenly and then we get the number 39 jingle and it goes straight into Carry You Home.

Evanna was back today and seemed to have calmed down a bit. One thing I realised was that she correctly played Purple Rain at 28 but on double checking it was actually When Doves Cry that Stuart had played as a future breaker. Both songs feature in Stranger Things apparantly but it's interesting that it was the one that was featured as a future breaker which failed to chart.

More mispronunciations this week! First up was the place name in the Bruce Springsteen song, followed shortly after by Domhnall Gleeson's first name when Evanna was regaling us with details of a Taylor Swift video. The story was so interesting that we got it again later in the show where she managed to repeat her error twice.
