Gosh. They had so many more tracks. What happened? Why is so short now ??

Love it how it’s so diverse!!! From pop to rock and cheesy to dark. Nowadays it’s all very samey

Yeh this symbolises just how radio 1 have followed the commercial stations over the past 20 years and don’t actually care about anything like new music etc. I mean the C-List here has as many songs as the A-List does now. Would love to see a plays total for each track to see how much repeated plays there were?

This was pretty much the last time I listened to radio 1. They used to be really diverse and yet it seemed to go downhill from the 00s onwards.

It peaked at #31 and only spent 2 weeks in the top 75. It's pretty good, not too dissimilar from the Missing remix and Wrong.

That playlist looks a lot bigger than what we get now.

Such classics on here! What a year in music.

I miss the days when it felt like pretty much anything could be given a fair chance by Radio 1 regardless of the artist or genre. They're so restrictive now, that's why the playlist is about 1/6th shorter.
