February 17, 201016 yr Amy Macdonald's new single isn't much cop imo whereas I think 'On A Mission' is an excellent track definitely worthy of becoming a UK no. 1 hit. Just because it's not Radio 1 playlisted also doesn't mean an instant flop. I really hope Gabriella Cilmi scores a massive hit when it's released.
February 17, 201016 yr It is a totally $h!te list and why is Lemar being treated so shoddily.I think there is an element of spite regarding Leona, Pixie is already A-list and Everybody Hurts still C as well.Why is Bedrock still C-list it is doing well on itunes and is everywhere on the music channels.I will eat my hat if Tinie Tempah A-list goes Top 20.
February 17, 201016 yr ergh, they need to sack whoever does this playlist and hire new people. Its really not that hard.
February 17, 201016 yr Author But instead they will playlist it and play it Monday week. The whole concept is way to slow and dull. I'm sure they will play it regardless. Just because its not on the playlist doesnt mean it doesnt get played.
February 17, 201016 yr I will eat my hat if Tinie Tempah A-list goes Top 20. I have a feeling your hat may mysteriously disappear in a couple of weeks.
February 17, 201016 yr I think Lemar is proving that you can still have single succees without radio 1 or 2's backing if you have big support ofrom Capital & the big commercial stations. Not surprised Leona is still only C list given what they play on radio 1. Her single is much more suited to radio 2 where she is A listed. I take it she's also getting great support from the big commercials if she's top 10 on airplay. Edited February 17, 201016 yr by truly talented
February 17, 201016 yr I'm sure they will play it regardless. Just because its not on the playlist doesnt mean it doesnt get played. Much less. I would love to see the number of plays of none playlisted records in a week.
February 17, 201016 yr ... and no Goldfrapp (Alison Goldfrapp twittered that it was up for selection for inclusion in this week's playlist); no Gabriella Cilmi and no Amy MacDonald. What the F are Radio 1 playing playing at. :angry: Well Gabriella got playlisted on Radio 2 this week (on the C-List), and Goldfrapp and Amy are both A-List there so maybe all hope is not lost for them... but it will definitely be a struggle with the snubs by Radio 1. :drama:
February 17, 201016 yr 3OH!3 are finally out :lol: Took some time. Stornoway on the list randomly :lol: They have the same name as my nearest town, obviously named themselves after it :lol: Edited February 17, 201016 yr by Dani-CM
February 17, 201016 yr Well Gabriella got playlisted on Radio 2 this week (on the C-List), and Goldfrapp and Amy are both A-List there so maybe all hope is not lost for them... but it will definitely be a struggle with the snubs by Radio 1. :drama: In that case it is yet again Radio 2 showing superior taste when it comes to new music. I can just about understand them snubbing Goldfrapp for ageism reasons (funny how the BBC is politically correct "ethically diverse" in so many ways except when it comes to ageism), as Alison Goldfrapp is 43 years old. But I just don't understand how Radio 1 can reject the new single by an 18 year old about to release her second album with a track written and produced by Xenomania that has had near fantastic reviews in pop blogs on the internet and in tabloids; and the lead single by a 22 year old Scottish singer songwriter when they A Playlist (the excellent) Mumford & Sons a folk rock group whom scream perfect Radio 2 material, but not really Radio 1 material; but I guess they have to find room for Disney lite $h!te like Justin Bieber don't they. Little wonder the gap between Radio 2 and Radio 1 listenership is getting wider and wider....
February 17, 201016 yr I heard Lemar played on Galaxy earlier. They seem to back him alot :D Screw R1
February 17, 201016 yr Radio 1 is only good for the chart show now imo. Not even for that, because the presentation is awful :(
February 17, 201016 yr Radio 1 is only good for the chart show now imo. Not really. The charts are quite dire ATM.
February 17, 201016 yr Lemar's last era didnt go partically well so I wasnt partically expecting them to playlist him up until this week. The Way Love Goes is top 10 on I-Tunes and yet they still refuse to playlist him, heck I remember they ignored Esmee Denters yet when she got I-Tunes top 20 she was playlisted. Gabriella, unfortunetly I think Radio 1 are living on the pretense that she's a one hit wonder. She isnt, and refusing to playlist her is rather strange. I just hope she manages to prove them wrong and get a hit out of it :( Radio 1 is only good for the chart show now imo. Couldnt disagree more with you. The two things I dislike about Radio 1 are the playlist and The Chart Show. Heck, even Fearnne Cotton isnt all that bad now she's been seperated from Reggie.
February 17, 201016 yr You Me At Six still A listed? It flopped :o Not yet - it climbed 58 places to 49 this week. Continued airplay could see it scrape top 40
February 17, 201016 yr Not yet - it climbed 58 places to 49 this week. Continued airplay could see it scrape top 40 But its official release was last week and it's clearly going to fall a lot this week.
