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!

Seemed to be on at least every other time we were in the car, which wasn't very much cos lockdown #3.

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!: Apr 3 2021, 11:30 PM

Thank you lewistgreen As a bonus, Jack Saunders' tune of the week (he's covering for Annie Mac) is Bree Runway's Hot Hot which is such a banger. Really hope it gets added to the main playlists soon!
