So that's the 8th week in a row we've had a new entry to the A-list. Something tells me we won't get one next week.

C-list only has 9 songs this week instead of the usual 12, which is odd. I'm guessing they're trimming the playlist back for a couple of weeks to accommodate Christmas songs.

Posted by: ChristmaSteve201 13th December 2019, 10:24 AM

I wonder if that is so, I always thought it was unfair to playlisted songs over the course of December as they wouldn't get the same support as songs on there the rest of the year.

Great to see Tokyo Drifting added ❤️

They should remove Bruises but keep BYG

Posted by: Slade 13th December 2019, 10:39 AM

'Everyday Life' is definitely one of my highlights from Coldplay's latest album. Pleased to see that added straight to A List.

Posted by: Bjork 13th December 2019, 10:41 AM

not a very exciting update, the b list its much better than the a list which really needs a big shake up

Posted by: ChristmaSteve201 13th December 2019, 12:05 PM

I'm glad they've moved on 'Orphans' was t really connecting with the public much. Maybe their singles success is over though?!

Posted by: Bjork 13th December 2019, 12:14 PM

at least R1 didn't add LadBaby

Posted by: ChristmaSteve201 13th December 2019, 12:15 PM

They were never going too, kind of disappointed they didn't C List 'River' by Ellie Goulding for a few weeks.

Posted by: Bjork 13th December 2019, 12:36 PM

well they don't seem to playlist any Xmas songs

Posted by: ChristmaSteve201 13th December 2019, 12:47 PM

*Any more

Posted by: Michael Bubré 14th December 2019, 10:39 PM

I'm surprised that Coldplay aren't pushing 'Champion Of The World' as the second radio single but I like 'Everyday Life' a lot more anyway (and it is probably the third most radio friendly song on the album so still a sensible enough choice). Highly doubt it'll make the song chart anywhere but hopefully it'll keep the album selling for a bit in the new year x

Yess at 'Tokyo Drifting' showing up here my fave song at the moment - and I believe this is the first time Denzel Curry has been on the R1 playlist? Which is very overdue xx (I remember hearing 'RICKY' on an evening show on R1 but it never made the daytime playlist). Cool to see 'Deal Wiv It' belatedly on here too.

Was “Black Balloons” not playlisted then? Shame, one of my favourite songs of the year (technically released in 2018, but the video was out this year and it had heavy rotation on 6Music).

Posted by: Michael Bubré 14th December 2019, 10:44 PM

Nope, and neither was his collab with slowthai. It's surprising it has taken this long as he seems like the kind of rapper that R1 should be fans of even if he's not had any mainstream success to speak of yet.

So am I right in thinking that both Radio 1 favourites Ellie Goulding and Bastille have had their latest singles snubbed by Radio 1? Both ‘River’ and ‘Cant Fight This Feeling’ haven’t been playlisted.

Posted by: ChristmaSteve201 15th December 2019, 02:28 AM

No neither have. Same with Little Mix and Mabel.

I'm not sure if they have had spot plays though tbh.

Posted by: Dan17F1 15th December 2019, 12:08 PM

Yes all 4 have had spot plays, especially Ellie and Bastille!

Posted by: ChristmaSteve201 15th December 2019, 12:16 PM

That's good news!

Posted by: SKOB 15th December 2019, 12:31 PM

LMAO at Coldplay having two straight A list adds from their underperforming album.

Posted by: ChristmaSteve201 15th December 2019, 12:40 PM

I can't imagine it's underperforming - prob sell 300k easy enough.

I can see this being their last Radio 1 era though.

Posted by: JosephCarey 15th December 2019, 12:43 PM

Really? Radio 1 worship the ground Chris Martin walks on for some reason. Going from instant A list adds to complete snubs would be quite the turnaround.

Posted by: ChristmaSteve201 15th December 2019, 12:45 PM

True, but I think they are finding it hard to get a top 40 hit now albeit the albums doing fine.

We shall have to wait and see though...
