'Wellerman' still C-listed is laughable, at least B-list it! I wonder what they're gonna do when it goes to number one? They don't usually take off current number ones so would they just keep it on the C-list or move it up? In the last 9 years, two other songs have been C-listed for 7 weeks: 'Fake Happy' by Paramore in 2017/18 and Bieber's 'Love Yourself' in 2015/16 (the latter of which went on to eventually be A-listed).

Kinda surprised at Architects being A-listed, seen as they haven't progressed beyond the C-list before.

A pretty boring week for new additions though.

Posted by: gavindeejay 12th March 2021, 09:54 AM

'Wellerman' to break the record for longest run on the C-List without being moved up

Shame that Paul Woolford hasn't been moved up. Great to see Ben Howard and Fred Again.... playlisted.

Posted by: Bjork 12th March 2021, 09:56 AM

yay at Ben Howard!!!

Posted by: Dan17F1 12th March 2021, 09:57 AM

A shame that JC Stewart hasn’t progressed above the C List - however I can’t complain about the rest of the removals, they all seem like they’ve had their time now.

I’m surprised about Architects too but I’m guessing it’s partly because of their number 1 album last week. Also happy to see Welshy and Joel Corry moved up.

Quite surprised that Jorja Smith has debuted higher than Drake, especially with an uncommercial sounding single. Pleased to see Navos, Maisie Peters, Ben Howard (At last!) and an unexpected addition for Fred Again ...

I can’t see them moving Wellerman up sadly, I think they’ll just keep it on the C List until it goes to ACR which I’m guessing will be in a few weeks.

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 12th March 2021, 10:00 AM

OMG Madonna back on the playlist in 2021! We truly are blessed.

Would be nice to see Maisie achieve a breakthrough with this.

Posted by: awardinary 12th March 2021, 10:05 AM

When was Katy B last playlisted?

Posted by: Mangø 12th March 2021, 10:08 AM

2016!

Posted by: Dan17F1 12th March 2021, 10:09 AM

Was that Who Am I with Craig David? Or have I missed a song?

Posted by: awardinary 12th March 2021, 10:11 AM

She had a song with Lee Walker, maybe it was that.

Posted by: Bjork 12th March 2021, 10:21 AM

looks like the Ella & Tom duet is gonna be R2-only :/

Posted by: Dan17F1 12th March 2021, 10:28 AM

I can’t understand that decision at all. The only thing I’m wondering is that they don’t want 2 Tom Grennan tracks on the playlist at the same time but that doesn’t seem to matter for any other major artists.

Posted by: Mangø 12th March 2021, 10:46 AM

'Who I Am' was in early 2016, and then the Lee Walker one ('Freak Like Me') was in summer 2016.

Posted by: Mangø 12th March 2021, 10:46 AM

I'm still hoping it will be added next week

Posted by: Hadji 12th March 2021, 10:56 AM

Shame no KSI

Posted by: Sour Candy 12th March 2021, 11:09 AM

Streets out the week label starts to push it

Posted by: roz061 12th March 2021, 11:24 AM

Very happy that Jorja has been added straight to the B list - it's a great song. Also nice to see Fed Again, Maisie Peters and Serpentwithfeet added; hopefully all will progress upwards in the coming weeks.

Also: Shygirl being the Introducing tune of the week is fantastic to see! I've loved her for years so it's great to see her getting more recognition (the song has already had a few spins on Annie's and Jack's shows, and the Boys Noize remix has been played on the dance shows ever since it came out). Can't wait to see her live in November

Posted by: jimwatts 12th March 2021, 12:17 PM

I seem to remember both Atomic Kitten - Whole Again and Wheatus - Teenage Dirtbag had long runs on the C-list in 2001 without ever being moved up, not sure if either got beyond 7 weeks though.

Posted by: lewistgreen 12th March 2021, 01:18 PM

Some fantastic dance adds this week!

Posted by: steve201 12th March 2021, 01:55 PM

Great to see the new Jorja Smith being added to the B List and Drake only in the C List. Also great to see new Katy B and Ben Howard added. Great to see Arcitects getting A List rotation!!

That new Blessed Madonna track is good!

So ‘Teenage Dirtbag’ was only C Listed on radio 1 at the time Jim??

Posted by: jimwatts 12th March 2021, 02:02 PM

Yep... then their follow-up (A Little Respect) was B-listed and the one after that (Leroy) was A-listed, with their chart returns going the other way, naturally

Posted by: Mangø 12th March 2021, 02:15 PM

Is that from memory or do you have access to those playlists?

Posted by: jimwatts 12th March 2021, 02:17 PM

All from memory sadly, I followed them most weeks from mid-2000 to sometime in 2003.

Posted by: Bré 12th March 2021, 02:18 PM

Great to see Ben Howard still getting Radio 1 backing (he seems like the type that could suddenly be considered a Radio 2 artist at a moment's notice so happy that he is still R1 relevant for at least one more era), some pretty good adds from Moses Boyd and serpentwithfeet as well (the latter not an artist I expected to see pop up here )

Drake being added only on the C-List even with it being delayed a week seems a little uncharacteristic - I guess it's possibly in reaction to the song not being the instant huge #1 that it may have been expected to be(?) or perhaps to do with it technically just for now being the focus track of his EP rather than being promoted as a single from his album (though I'd be shocked if it wasn't included on the album like what happened with 'God's Plan'). Rather surprised at Silk Sonic still not being playlisted as well? R1 have shown plenty of support to Anderson .Paak before so I'd have expected them to be all over his most commercial release to date!

Happy to see Cardi B making the A-List and Welshy surprisingly escaping C-List stalling! And great to see Shygirl on the Introducing spot as well, not my favourite song from her but I'll take any appearance.

Posted by: Envoirment 12th March 2021, 02:25 PM

Great to see Maisie added! Also surprised but happy to see Jorja B-listed already.

Posted by: Bré 12th March 2021, 02:29 PM

Then again they also hadn't had a top 10 album before until hitting #1 last week...

Posted by: steve201 12th March 2021, 03:56 PM

So did I but couldnt remember that about Wheatus, pretty ridiculous like considering their two biggest hits were only C-B Listed. And 'Teenage Dirtbag' is consider a classic of that new wave metal sort genre from the era.

Posted by: WhoOdyssey 12th March 2021, 04:00 PM

Wheatus? Metal??

Posted by: Bré 12th March 2021, 04:30 PM

Enduring a listen of 'Teenage Dirtbag' is about the same level of pain as screamed metal vocals x

Posted by: steve201 12th March 2021, 07:01 PM

Well like bands of the same vain of the time like Blink 182 and Sum 41 and the likes, whatever you call them!

Posted by: TheSnake 12th March 2021, 07:07 PM

I forgot they covered that Erasure song. Listened to their cover again and it's a good cover I think.

Posted by: WhoOdyssey 12th March 2021, 07:08 PM

Pop punk

(Sum 41 are actually metal nowadays though)

Posted by: detonate 12th March 2021, 08:37 PM

Bruno/Anderson not even C List

Posted by: Euphorique 12th March 2021, 11:03 PM

I just checked my Radio 1 Playlists archive, and you're right. "Teenage Dirtbag" was only C-listed, for an incredible 6 weeks. Then "A Little Respect" got B-listed and "Leroy" A-listed. Nice memory you have!

Posted by: jimwatts 12th March 2021, 11:10 PM

Guess it stuck in my mind as if those later singles were getting the plays they thought Teenage Dirtbag deserved.

Do you have how long Whole Again spent on the C-list?

Posted by: Euphorique 12th March 2021, 11:13 PM

"Whole Again" spent 4 weeks on the C-list. They preferred hammering Sugababes' "Run For Cover" which got A-listed instead. Can't complain since I love that song.

Posted by: steve201 13th March 2021, 11:33 AM

Suppose Sugababes were always the more urban and cool pop band compared to Atomic Kitten!

Posted by: Dré 13th March 2021, 06:04 PM

They were radio darlings for sure.

Posted by: steve201 14th March 2021, 01:39 AM

They made a lot better songs though looking back, ‘Whole Again’ being by far their best song. Strange it was only c-listed considering it was a 4 week chart topper!

Posted by: roz061 16th March 2021, 09:26 AM

Some Tunes of the Week:

Greg James: Jorja Smith - Addicted
Clara Amfo: Remi Wolf & Dominic Fike - Photo ID
Nick Grimshaw: Origin8a & Propa - Harmony (feat. Benny Page)

I don't know Scott's as I don't listen to his show, and I can't tell from the tracklist on the BBC Sounds app.

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 16th March 2021, 09:28 AM

I think the success of that song literally took everybody by surprise!

Posted by: Bjork 16th March 2021, 10:25 AM

Exactly, they had already released 3/4 singles that did well but nowhere near the top
and suddenly they went to #1 with Whole Again

Posted by: TS0301 16th March 2021, 03:31 PM

Scott's is Ella Henderson & Tom Grennan - Let's Go Home Together

Posted by: roz061 16th March 2021, 03:48 PM

Thank you! Should have known it would be that one (Scott is the most predictable DJ in regards to picking his tune of the week).

Posted by: steve201 16th March 2021, 04:06 PM

Maybe a sign they will remove Toms current song and add that soon!

Posted by: Dan17F1 16th March 2021, 04:34 PM

I don’t see why they couldn’t have them both on the playlist - yesterday Scott played both Little Bit Of Love and Let’s Go Home Together in the same show which means that they’re not opposed to it!

In case anyone was wondering Arielle’s Tune of the Week is the Fred again, Blessed Madonna track - We’ve lost dancing I think it’s called.

Posted by: steve201 16th March 2021, 04:58 PM

I agree Dan but i felt because they ignored it at first they must have an issue playing both. They could always play it as an Ella single though lol

Posted by: Mangø 16th March 2021, 05:02 PM

'Let's Go Home Together' is showing signs of being a big hit, I can't see R1 ignoring it.

Posted by: steve201 16th March 2021, 05:40 PM

Let’s hope not

Posted by: JosephStyles 16th March 2021, 05:41 PM

Let's Go Home Together is Ella's single primarily so there's no reason both can't be played, I'm sure it's only a matter of time until it's on the playlist (and I'd be surprised to see them dropping Little Bit of Love so soon).

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 16th March 2021, 06:42 PM

I feel like the reason might actually them being reluctant to playlist Ella more than anything, they didn't support her last single either (sadly )
