I think both will be supported so long as the music is radio friendly (which is more of a worry with Gaga). But if their next eras don't spawn some hit singles, yes they'll both be on the chopping block for after that.

A dead mouse (from my cat) Joined: 2 March 2018 Posts: 28,456 User: 67,771	QUOTE(gooddelta @ Apr 23 2018, 01:06 PM) They don't play Liam or Noel Gallagher's solo material, which surprises me when Foo Fighters are still deemed fine. Slightly different but what irks me is their snub of any Eurovision artist. I get their reasoning a lot of the time (genre doesn't fit etc) but snubbing Euphoria in 2012 was completely ridiculous, it was the biggest hit around Europe for a few weeks, a popular and well-received top three hit here, and was sonically suitable for the playlist. There was no single reason not to playlist it apart from snobbery. I imagine Noel & Liam are because they fit on Radio 2, whilst I can't imagine Foo Fighters being on R2.

QUOTE(Joe. @ Apr 23 2018, 02:07 PM) I think both will be supported so long as the music is radio friendly (which is more of a worry with Gaga). But if their next eras don't spawn some hit singles, yes they'll both be on the chopping block for after that. I don’t think we’ll see a chop for Katy any time soon tbh. I think the new Gaga album is pop so I think she’ll be fine too.

It's clear she is popular with their demographic too.

Dumped after their second era like many artists of the time and R1 even tried to pretend Moves Like Jagger wasn’t happening. Since then though they’ve been pretty consistently playlisted but I reckon that won’t last much longer.

No idea if they’ll support her next era though. They’re pretty swift like that. Like All the Lovers was a-listed for weeks, but by the time the third from Aphrodite came they wouldn’t touch her.

With Robbie they were preparing to let him go from the infamous 2006 Rudebox release but then Take That were so huge amongst all ages thereafter they stuck with him with the Bodies era then dropped his solo material. The Love My Life release really was symbolic of how streaming was skewing older artists in the modern chart.
