Deputy Dave was back standing in for Evanna this week. A pity it's not permanent as he does a great job with constant references to the movement of the songs and pointing out the biggest climbers and fallers as well as telling us how many new entries there were.

And as predicted Kingfishr return to the chart at 22.

This week's chart makes me wonder what period the charts cover as I would have expected to see the "Dolly effect" kicking in last week. Unlike their colleagues at RTE Cool FM and Downtown have no discrimination when it comes to playing old songs.
