We also had a new jingle to introduce the future breakers. One strange thing this week! The top 10 started with Ordinary by Alex Warren. This had entered at 39 three weeks ago and then climbed to 34 but had fallen out of the top 40 last week. Stuart referred to it as a huge mover this week. What it also means is that stick Season has dropped out completely this week from number 19. Which seems odd considering that for most of it's lengthy run it has been in the top 20 (barring 3 weeks at Christmas and a more recent chart where it was at 21 it was last outside the Top 20 in it's first 2 weeks). I have checked last week's chart as published on their website and it matches what I noted last week.

For some reason they played Kieran Goss between Usher and Leann Rimes despite the fact that he had left the Top 30 that week. However he had been at 29 the previous week which would have fitted in with the current positions of the other 2 this week.

Late this week as I was out at a gig on Sunday and only caught up with the show last night! And following on from my suspicions last week it looks like Stuart Robinson is the new regular presenter.

Despite the occasional slip he's a great presenter. Just ahead of the number 1 he mentioned that he will be back next week which has got me wondering if he is the new regular presenter. There was no mention that he was standing in for Hix and whereas normally the Cool FM website continued to show Hix's photo when he was off they have been using Stuart's.

I've never heard him on air before though his voice is familiar as he seems to be at the majority of big concerts in Belfast with the Cool FM promotions van. Overall he did a good job although having announced Sexyy Redd and Bruno Mars as entering at 39 he then went on to say that the first new entry was Boyzlife at 38, something which he repeated later. However there are a couple of things which were nice to see! First of all the placing of the future breakers. There are usually 2 breaks for these, always after the number 34 and just ahead of the Top 20. This week there were only 2 songs featured but they came just ahead of the Top 20. Best of all we also had chart recaps for each set of 10 songs for the first time since I started listening to the show almost 3 years ago. Another break from the norm was that the Top 10 countdwn came after the number 2 rather than before it. And although they continue to use the jingles with DJ Hix mentioned they have dug out the numbers for the top 10. One interesting fact that Stuart pointed out. This week saw Cool FM's 35th birthday and one of the songs that was starting it's climb to number 2 that week Dirty Cash is in the Top 20 this week.

This week's charts coming shortly! In the meantime a correction to last week's album chart. I had accidentally put Whitney Houston at 89 up from 96 when it was actually Tyler, The Creator up from 97.

It was a technical glitch, possibly something to do with the fact that they added the Homegrown Chart. While it's annoying at least the last few times the charts have turned up eventually.

One big surprise this week - the IRMA website now contains the Homegrown Chart Top 20. However while they have managed to include the chart in full the other chart pages are blank. Hopefully this is just a technical issue and they will appear in due course. *EDIT* Charts now complete. From this week I'm also going to be posting the Music Video chart which is a Top 5.

I have the deluxe editions of Belinda Carlisle's 4 80s / 90s albums which were issued back in 2013 and lifted the first of them to listen to. I was transferring a couple of albums onto my Spotify account during the week and pulled up a Boomtown Rats box set with all their studio albums (to that point) aong with bonus tracks. Someone's Looking At You was the track that stood out.

***EDIT*** Another slip of the finger when updating the spreadsheet. On week 2 I put the number 76 beside the wrong album. Instead of allocating it to the previous week's 95 (Harry's House) I allocated it to the previous week's 96 (Guns n Roses - Greatest Hits). The mistake continued into week 3. Both have now been corrected!

Further up the chart he repeatedly said that Nice To Meet You was climbing 8 places but at the same time The Door was moving back up 2 places.

For now I'm assuming that the IRMA charts are correct. If we find anything to the contrary I'll repost the new version!

A slight error on my part last week! I had placed Snow Patrol at 18 on the Homegrown chart instead of Keywest. Now amended!

We should be used to it by now but once again we had one website updated at 3pm on Friday while the other is still showing last week's charts. However this time, thankfully, the tables are turned as it's the OCC site which is minus the new lists. It looks like there may be an issue with the singles chart. On the chart show on RTE 2FM on Friday evening the chart counted down didn't match what IRMA had. Alex Warren was listed on IRMA at 17 but didn't appear on the chart show and everything from 18 to 31 on IRMA was announced as being one place higher.

It's the same as most personal charts - my favourite albums / songs of the previous week.

While searching for those I found the first 2 Jason Donovan albums which had received the same treatment and the 4 volumes of Kylie's Greatest Remix Hits which I had picked up in the late 90s along with a 4CD edition of Sigue Sigue Sputnik's debut album from 1986. All 4 acts make a number of appearances on the tracks chart where they are joined by Myles Smith.
