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.

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.
