One less song than usual on the A-list this week (presumably to account for them playing more Christmas songs), although that's not as fishy as Shane Codd being on it 
I really hope that can get to number one in the new year!
Pretty boring set of new additions, though the inclusion of James Vincent McMorrow is surprising as they've never playlisted him before.
I wonder if we'll get an update next week? If we do, I'll probably post it the following day, not intending to have any screen time on Christmas day 
Posted by: Dan17F1 Dec 18 2020, 10:10 AM
Very surprised there’s no Taylor on there! They’ve not played it either this morning so I don’t think it’s a mistake on the playlist!
Nice to see RAYE on there though, it’s strange how randomly they decide to playlist her or not.
Happy to see that Louie Vega track, I doubt very much it will get past the C List but it’s nice to see it anyway.
I doubt there will be an update next week, from Christmas Day to NYD, they’ve got Anthems shows on so there won’t be any normal playlist songs being played in that time anyway!

The playlist hasn't been frozen over Christmas in recent years though so I wasn't expecting a freeze this year, it's just whether they'll bother publishing it on Christmas day.
I was surprised about Taylor too, so if it's not a mistake with the playlist I just thought they'd wait until after Christmas to add it, idk really
Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn Dec 18 2020, 10:18 AM
I was hoping 'I Miss U' might climb in the new year like 'This Is Real' did, but I guess that's unlikely now? 
That Louie Vega one sounds interesting on paper, I shall have to give that a listen!
Posted by: dancemberlexa Dec 18 2020, 10:29 AM
I was gonna say how did the Mambo No 5 guy get on the R1 playlist in 2020, but he's the similarly named Lou Bega.
Nice to see Raye get on the playlist even if the song doesn't look like it'll do anything.
Posted by: Bjork Dec 18 2020, 10:32 AM
no Willow!! shock!
Posted by: jsweetxe Dec 18 2020, 10:39 AM
sweet melody supremacy!
Over the next few weeks I can see Sweet Melody (and Positions) being removed in favour of No Time for Tears & 34+35.
Great to see Sweet Melody on the A list for that long though! Every milestone they achieve during these times is insanely good.
Posted by: awardimerry Dec 18 2020, 10:59 AM
Regardless is such a bop, and it’s my #1 in my personal chart!
Posted by: ts7sfkptm Dec 18 2020, 11:23 AM
where on earth is Taylor :/
Posted by: Cognizant Dec 18 2020, 12:25 PM
Excuse me but why is Taylor not on this playlist?!
Posted by: JosephCarey Dec 18 2020, 12:25 PM
If there's one less song on the A list, I assume it's Taylor and they forgot to add her to the online playlist? Either that or there's no full update next week and they're saving a spot for something (a la Yummy at the start of 2020), but we'll see I suppose...
Posted by: HarryBorelli Dec 18 2020, 12:27 PM
Is Hope Tala the quickest rotation to go from Introducing to C-list...seems like a couple months since.
Posted by: Cognizant Dec 18 2020, 12:29 PM
Has Willow been getting plays this week?
Posted by: FestiveOdyssey Dec 18 2020, 12:29 PM
beabadoobee went from that in the space of a month-ish last year I think? (and it was one of hers, not Death Bed lol)
Posted by: M4ngo Ho Ho Dec 18 2020, 12:34 PM
If they'd been playing Willow then I'd say they forgot to add it to the playlist but as far as I can see they haven't even played it today which makes me think it's not a mistake. But yeah let's see...

Nice to see Raye get on the playlist even if the song doesn't look like it'll do anything.
Haha I thought it might have sampled Mambo No 5 and led to a Lou Bega credit before I realised.
'Something fishy about the A list' - an absolute genius subtitle
Posted by: Christmasteve201 Dec 18 2020, 12:56 PM
Would be hugely surprised if the extra song on the A-List isn’t ‘Willow’ after they supported her last kinda alternative era! They don’t normally reduce songs on the playlist due to Xmas rotation.
Not much apart from that I’m interested in, nice Celeste is in the A-List now!
Posted by: Road Salt Mixer Dec 18 2020, 01:01 PM
Not much apart from that I’m interested in, nice Celeste is in the A-List now!
So 'A Little Love' might make top 40 in the week after Christmas?
Posted by: Christmasteve201 Dec 18 2020, 01:10 PM
Maybe but it’s been steady top 75 since the start of December but hasn’t moved up much!
Posted by: FestiveOdyssey Dec 18 2020, 01:10 PM
I imagine it will fall after Christmas, with it being the John Lewis song
Posted by: Dan17F1 Dec 18 2020, 03:07 PM
I’d have thought that might be Tom Everitt, he was only on the introducing list about a month ago, or are you only including different songs as obviously Tom’s song Patti is the same one that was on the introducing list!
Posted by: Hadji Dec 18 2020, 04:06 PM
They could easily replace Positions with 69 now the former is no longer #1
Posted by: lewistgreen Dec 18 2020, 06:00 PM
I will be very surprised if there is an update next week, there are no normal daytime shows to give tracks the rotation they need. All of the daytime w/c 25/12 is either Anthems, Radio 1 Dance or Party Anthems
Posted by: Christmasteve201 Dec 18 2020, 11:20 PM
I’m sure they will early in the new year
Posted by: Michael Bubré Dec 19 2020, 03:06 AM
Oi Mango, don't think I don't notice you stealing my hilarious joke for your subtitle 
(inb4 you reply to this enquiring about my quiz xx it's still coming, this weekend hopefully xx)
A little odd if they actually still haven't added 'willow' but I don't think there's any way they'd just randomly decide to snub her now, 100% certain it'll show up in a later week if not turning out to be just missing from the A-List this week.
Pretty mediocre/uninteresting set of moves and additions this week unfortunately. Although fun to note that it's 2 weeks in a row they've added a former Introducing track to the C-List, following Tom Everett last week.
Posted by: Christmasteve201 Dec 19 2020, 09:55 AM
I’m sure ‘Willow’ will get plenty of time to grow in January. People don’t have to worry about it not being here or Radio 2!
Posted by: M4ngo Ho Ho Dec 19 2020, 02:12 PM
(inb4 you reply to this enquiring about my quiz xx it's still coming, this weekend hopefully xx)Think of it as an honour x
Posted by: Bjork Dec 19 2020, 04:00 PM
surprising they're now going for James Vincent mcMorrow
used to be a huge fan when he was doing singer-songwriter stuff with acoustic guitar
but then he changed sound and I'm not a fan anymore
Posted by: Dan17F1 Dec 20 2020, 06:23 PM
Just to confirm, I’ve looked through the track lists for the shows since Friday and Willow hasn’t once been played (except the chart.) I think this definitely confirms it’s not got the missing slot on the A List - think that’s probably Ed!
Posted by: dancemberlexa Dec 20 2020, 06:46 PM
that is rather odd that Willow seemingly is getting snubbed, have the label just not sent it to Radio yet or do R1 not like it?
Posted by: Christmasteve201 Dec 20 2020, 06:58 PM
They will likely add it in January!
Posted by: M4ngo Ho Ho Dec 21 2020, 03:51 PM
(inb4 you reply to this enquiring about my quiz xx it's still coming, this weekend hopefully xx)You did say this weekend, didn't you...?
Anyway, R1 have published next week's playlist on the website (unprecedentedly early) but it doesn't look quite right as Loski is listed on both the A and B list and a couple of songs added last week seem to have mysteriously disappeared - I'm presuming whoever typed it up has been on the mulled wine so I'm going to give it a day or two and see if it gets corrected. In the meantime if anyone spots it on twitter or anything, let me know.
Posted by: Christmasteve201 Dec 21 2020, 04:52 PM
Yeh and they’ve added ‘Willow’ to the A List so everyone can calm down lol.
Ed ‘Afterglow’ has also been added to the Radio 2 A List!
Posted by: 365 Dec 21 2020, 05:32 PM
Yeah next week's playlist is up already .
Posted by: Michael Bubré Dec 21 2020, 09:12 PM
Is Ed confirmed to be the missing song on the A-List of the playlist in this thread yet then?
edit: he's missing from the partially updated new playlist as well but that still also has only 14 songs on the A-List, so he's been hidden 2 weeks in a row?
Posted by: Christmasteve201 Dec 21 2020, 10:43 PM
Radio 2 have added him but yeh radio 1 just have one less song!
Posted by: SantaTurret32 Dec 22 2020, 12:45 AM
Hu Man got playlisted! Great song!
And just a few days after seeing it pop up on Shawn Cee's list of the best songs of 2020
