Sometimes songs spend 3 weeks on the C List while others spend 9 weeks there and songs are A Listed for a long time. What do you like and not like about the playlist and the way it works? (WITHOUT MENTIONING AGES AND GENDERS OPINIONS 😁)

It would be nice to see more of a range of different songs reaching the A List which I’d admit has improved recently with Architects, Noizu and Fred Again and The Blessed Madonna. Also, it would be nice if there was a bit of a quicker turnover, I don’t really need to be hearing Tiesto or Anne-Marie for 10 weeks, that’s Capital’s job. It would also be nice if there were some more oldies thrown in throughout the day. I could quite easily listen to radio1 all day if the A List tracks were only played twice a day. When it’s 4 times, it gets a bit much sometimes. Overall though, I reckon they do quite a good job with the playlist - much better than their commercial competition!

They def play less different songs now imo. Even a glance at the playlist from day 2001 it’s such an eye opener in terms of amount of songs and genres!

Plus lots of Radio 2. I must say, 6 Music Goes Pop on Thursday was brilliant. Lots of things Radio 1 love but R2 won't touch and vice versa. Basically a whole station of Drake meets Adam and the Ants. I loved it! This post has been edited by HiyaLuv!: 3rd April 2021, 11:30 PM

The horrors persist, but so do I Joined: 14 July 2013 Posts: 21,957 User: 19,534	Omg at 'Photo ID' making the playlist! Also pleased to see Fredo and Mimi added (and Lil Nas X but that was a given). Central Cee on the A-list surprises me...
