April 28, 201015 yr I still have a gut feeling Mumford & Sons have a strong chance of winning this years Mercury Music Prize which could give them the boost they need. Their album has already hit no. 1 in Australia where they seem to be even more popular.
April 28, 201015 yr Author I guess they are picking up momentum, certainly more than You Me At Six and Vampire Weekend which are favourites with them with each release. However sometimes the release schedule at BJ isn't always up to date, and artists postpone their release and Radio 1 are the first to know that. Maybe that's what's going on with Aguilera.
April 28, 201015 yr i love this playlist. radio 1 no longer seem to be playlisting on name and name alone. why should christina aguilera be playlisted on the basis of her name alone? the single isn't doing particularly well stateside and hasn't gotten the best audience reception. it strikes me that people here are just bitter that their preferred 'pure pop' preference isn't being particularly enamored by the people at radio 1. it's such a varied and refreshing playlist. sub focus, stornoway, crystal castles, chiddy bang. pushing new acts through and supporting them (which is in essence, a key aspect of their remit). bravo i say...
April 28, 201015 yr The Sophie & Cascada snubs are justified imo. Cascada have bombed recently and well Sophie.....the less said the better really, as good as Bittersweet is she hasnt been comercially viable since about 2002.Have you forgotten about 'Heartbreak Make Me A Dancer'? :kink: On the danger list: Adam Lambert – For Your Entertainment (no chance unless they playlist it after it becomes a hit) Chicane – Come Back (no chance unless they playlist it after it becomes a hit) Lady Antebellum – Need You Now (no chance unless they playlist it after it becomes a hit) Christina Aguilera – Not Myself Tonight Mika vs Red One – Kick Ass Moby - Wait For Me Beyonce feat Kanye West – Ego Cascada – Pyromania Groove Armada – Look Me In The Eye Sister Miley Cyrus – When I Look At You Sophie Ellis-Bextor - Bittersweet Toni Braxton – Yesterday Train – Hey Soul Sister Estelle – Freak Fugative – Crush Hannah – I Believe In You Kaci Battaglia – Crazy Possessive Keane feat K’naan – Stop For A Minute Lights – Saviour Mary J Blige feat Jay Sean – Each Tear Mini Viva – One Touch Ocelot – Beating Hearts Agnes – On And On Alexandra Burke feat Pitbull – All Night Long Amy MacDonald – Spark Atari Teenage Riot – Activate Boyzone – Love Is A Hurricane Katie Melua – The Flood Lemar – Coming Home Lethal Bizzle feat Luciana – Go Go Go Sugababes – Crash & Burn Kevin Rudolf feat Birdman, Lil Wayne & Jay Sean – I Made It McLean – Finally In LoveMcLean, Fugative (especially :mellow:), Kevin Rudolf & Co, Cascada, Alexandra Burke & Lights are my biggest shock omissions. mcLean, just because they supported 'My Name', which went on to become a big hit for him. Fugative, because he's just basically a white version of Chipmunk, and I believe it could have been huge with support. K-Rudolf & Co because it seems the sort of thing Radio 1 play nowadays, so not playlisting it is odd. (Still believe it'll go top 10 though). Cascada because like you said it's a new release etc.., Alex i've said my thoughts in her thread -_- & Lights because like I said last week, she's basically the female version of Owl City. Oh and I thought after having a Top 10 hit and a big Top 20 hit, which was loved by Radio 1, it would be enough to put Example straight onto the C-list...
April 28, 201015 yr Fugative, because he's just basically a white version of Chipmunk. Lights because like I said last week, she's basically the female version of Owl City. surely you've answered yourself there why they may not playlist those two songs for those two very reasons?

April 29, 201015 yr I doubt its got anything to do with Kid Cudi, they loved "Day N Nite". Its more to do with "One Love" flopping, and since dance artists don't have the same VIP treatment as some other bands, if you flop your next single won't get support. Luckily "Memories" did well without them so they're supporting him again. But they palylisted 'Everytime We Touch', Delerious and 'Baby When The Lights' and they all flopped
April 29, 201015 yr Kevin Rudolf has been added to iTunes and is #101 already, it'll do alright even without support IMO. I like most of the playlist, so instead I'm gonna list which ones I DON'T like (/ are boring / haven't heard) A-List Boys Like Girls - Love Drunk [boring] Paolo Nutini - Candy [don't like] You Me At Six - Liquid Confidence [boring] B-List Justin Bieber - Somebody To Love [unheard] The King Blues - Headbutt [unheard] The Pretty Reckless - Make Me Wanna Die [unheard] Rihanna - Te Amo [unheard] C-List Bands Of Skulls - Death By Diamonds And Pearls [boring] * David Guetta & Chris Willis ft Fergie & LMFAO - Gettin' Over You [unheard] * Stornoway - Zorbing [boring] 1-Upfront List (nothing) Edited April 29, 201015 yr by Braysayer

April 29, 201015 yr good to see the new vampire weekend song in the playlist - holiday is brill and very summery and it should be alisted by the time im heading on holidays so it will sound even better lol!! i tend to agree with the pro comments about the playlist.buzzjack is very pro poppy music so im not surprised that people are frustrated but i like the way they play a good mix of everything - crystal castles-stornoway-dizzee-diana vickers!!
April 29, 201015 yr one of the most bizarre radio stations i know of. Im convinced they do it to wind up the fans
April 29, 201015 yr The people who decide Radio 1's playlist switch over every few months or so dont they? Which makes sense I suppose as to why recently they seem to making rather odd choices (to be polite) - when a few months back things seemed to be going fairly well for pop music on Radio 1. The Sophie & Cascada snubs are justified imo. Cascada have bombed recently and well Sophie.....the less said the better really, as good as Bittersweet is she hasnt been comercially viable since about 2002. Its the Christina and Alexandra snubs which are perhaps a bit odd. Christina's a major artist and Alex's album sold in good amounts, as have both singles. Always next week. You say about Sophie Ellie-Bextor not being commercially viable since 2002 (last top ten 2007), but Christina Aguilera hasn't had a top ten hit since 2006 -- Richard
April 29, 201015 yr You say about Sophie Ellie-Bextor not being commercially viable since 2002 (last top ten 2007), but Christina Aguilera hasn't had a top ten hit since 2006 -- Richard Exactly right. That totally proves that Sophie is a bigger star than Christina and should take the place on the playlist if it's between the two.
April 29, 201015 yr Where Sophie & Aguilera both rank on UK Airplay this week: 66 (90) Bittersweet 82 (NE) Not Myself Tonight
April 29, 201015 yr You say about Sophie Ellie-Bextor not being commercially viable since 2002 (last top ten 2007), but Christina Aguilera hasn't had a top ten hit since 2006 -- Richard Christina hasn't released a studio album since 2006 though? Sophie has had one album and one top 10 single so it's not much of a statistic.
April 29, 201015 yr Christina has had worldwide sucsess to some extent with 3 albums though. Sophie's career has been on the decline for years now saddly :( Sophie was huge in the first few years of the 200's theres no denying but to call her a biggest star than Christina would perhaps not be entirely truthful. Christina is definatly more relevent to a younger audience (imo) Oh and to be clear - I like both records to the same extent really. Great songs but great artists but nowehere near the best for either of them.
April 29, 201015 yr Would you say that the reason why they didn't playlist Memories was because Gettin Over You was to be released quite soon after? So they just went for the strongest/ more commercially viable? (Though I like both)
April 30, 201015 yr Kevin Rudolf has been added to iTunes and is #101 already, it'll do alright even without support IMO. I like most of the playlist, so instead I'm gonna list which ones I DON'T like (/ are boring / haven't heard) B-List The King Blues - Headbutt [unheard]OMG! Go listen to this. I think you will like it :heart:
