Pretty boring set of new additions, though the inclusion of James Vincent McMorrow is surprising as they've never playlisted him before. I wonder if we'll get an update next week? If we do, I'll probably post it the following day, not intending to have any screen time on Christmas day This post has been edited by M4ngo Ho Ho: Dec 18 2020, 10:05 AM

Nice to see RAYE on there though, it’s strange how randomly they decide to playlist her or not. Happy to see that Louie Vega track, I doubt very much it will get past the C List but it’s nice to see it anyway. I doubt there will be an update next week, from Christmas Day to NYD, they’ve got Anthems shows on so there won’t be any normal playlist songs being played in that time anyway!

The playlist hasn't been frozen over Christmas in recent years though so I wasn't expecting a freeze this year, it's just whether they'll bother publishing it on Christmas day. I was surprised about Taylor too, so if it's not a mistake with the playlist I just thought they'd wait until after Christmas to add it, idk really

Over the next few weeks I can see Sweet Melody (and Positions) being removed in favour of No Time for Tears & 34+35. Great to see Sweet Melody on the A list for that long though! Every milestone they achieve during these times is insanely good.

you never forget your first time... Pronouns: he/him Joined: 19 April 2011 Posts: 121,599 User: 13,530	If there's one less song on the A list, I assume it's Taylor and they forgot to add her to the online playlist? Either that or there's no full update next week and they're saving a spot for something (a la Yummy at the start of 2020), but we'll see I suppose...

(and it was one of hers, not Death Bed lol)

If they'd been playing Willow then I'd say they forgot to add it to the playlist but as far as I can see they haven't even played it today which makes me think it's not a mistake. But yeah let's see...

'Something fishy about the A list' - an absolute genius subtitle

They don’t normally reduce songs on the playlist due to Xmas rotation. Not much apart from that I’m interested in, nice Celeste is in the A-List now!

So 'A Little Love' might make top 40 in the week after Christmas? This post has been edited by Road Salt Mixer: Dec 18 2020, 01:01 PM
