June 30, 201016 yr Well...Can someone explain me the point of the playlist in the first place. Is it a 'let's try this and this' platform and if it doesn't go Top 20 then quit spinning the song even if it's good? I understand the playlist if it should represent the radio but dropping songs off just because they didn't go Top 30 is ridiculous. It's how it works for most acts unless they're huge album sellers, or popular live acts etc or hugely critically acclaimed. Unfortunate but true. (I had to say that without using the typical "they have indie bias" thing).
June 30, 201016 yr But is it really that important..You can't get a hit without Radio 1? That sounds scary to me
June 30, 201016 yr But is it really that important..You can't get a hit without Radio 1? That sounds scary to me The only ones that can be proper hits are the ones that have heavy support from everywhere else (i.e. 'All Night Long', the new Enrique single) or if they're lucky scrape the top 10 at best and then drop like a rock (Gabriella, Lemar, Esmee). It is pretty vital.
June 30, 201016 yr Well way to go record companies then! Actually in Finland we have an equivalent station but their playlist has much much more songs on it and the impact is not that big http://ylex.yle.fi/musiikki/soittolista
June 30, 201016 yr Is it that Radio 1 support is needed? Or are Radio 1 just really good at picking the hits?
June 30, 201016 yr been said a million times already but new york re-release over stone cold sober? really? woo at diana, mia and marina though :D Edited June 30, 201016 yr by 152.chris
June 30, 201016 yr Well way to go record companies then! Actually in Finland we have an equivalent station but their playlist has much much more songs on it and the impact is not that big http://ylex.yle.fi/musiikki/soittolista Nice playlist but they just can't spell Guetta's name right. David Quetta and Gueatta :D
June 30, 201016 yr B-List Kelly Rowland featuring David Guetta - Commander Get up to the A-list, now! :angry: C-List * B.O.B featuring Hayley Williams - Airplanes Good to see it added so soon! ^_^ * Eminem featuring Rihanna - Love The Way You Lie I've actually fallen in love with this the past few days. :wub: Great to see it added so soon, like B.o.B ^_^ * Paloma Faith - New York Why the f*** are they re-releasing this? :mellow: It was a medium hit the first time around. :wacko: * Flo-Rida featuring David Guetta - Club Can't Handle Me Luff this right now. * Marina & The Diamonds - Oh No! Ooh, this is quite an early add (I think), which is good. :D * Ne-Yo - Beautiful Monster I'm a bit bored of this now, but it's still good. :)
June 30, 201016 yr 'New York' is just baffling. They didn't even playlist 'Upside Down' did they?! Odd :s Yay for Marina, Ne-Yo, B.o.B. and Eminem :D
June 30, 201016 yr 'New York' is just baffling. They didn't even playlist 'Upside Down' did they?! Odd :s Yeahhh, they did.
June 30, 201016 yr 'New York' is just baffling. They didn't even playlist 'Upside Down' did they?! Odd :s Yay for Marina, Ne-Yo, B.o.B. and Eminem :DNo "yay" for Flo? I knew it should have been my entry :kink:
June 30, 201016 yr No "yay" for Flo? I knew it should have been my entry :kink: Oh yeah, that too obviously. :P
June 30, 201016 yr considering Commander is now top 5 on itunes, Radio 1 seem to be snubbing it a bit
June 30, 201016 yr New York? At least Do You Want The Truth... or Stone Cold Sober. Or just not playlist any and move onto a new album. Her album has done alright, and she was hardly ever going to be a big seller. Still, pointless 5th single re-releases are more interesting than boring album re-releases. Are Paolo Nutini and Paloma Faith on the same record label?
July 1, 201016 yr I don't understand why they snubbed so many great singles but everytime when somebody rereleases an old song they always playlist it :wacko: Edited July 1, 201016 yr by SoManyOstriches
July 1, 201016 yr Radio 1 these days remind of communism !!?? - dictating what should be played. Have looked through the Finnish post at the top, it seems much more varied. Looks like the UK turns into black & RnB society... Where is pure poppppppp??????
July 1, 201016 yr Good additions this week, I'm even curious to hear the new "New-York" version, although I agree it's totally weird to re-release it, especially since I thought this era was over by now. Especially happy for M.I.A and the excellent Mark Ronson track getting A-listed. Hopefully Mark gets a smash hit with that.
July 1, 201016 yr the rerelease of 'new york' isn't totally surprising, the album has been hanging round the bottom end of the top 75 for a few weeks so the record company obviously can see theres still some intrest in it. rereleasing new york is not to get a hit but to keep the album trickle selling over the next couple of months to push it over 300k at least.
