Why? The whole point of Radio 1 and Radio 2 is that they're completely different, which is why only five songs are on both playlists. If they played Gabriella it would defeat the point entirely.

I think On A Mission appeals to listeners of both R1 and R2. Whitney's a great addition, was I Look To You playlisted?
I actually see her more as a R2 kind of artist, but I think "On A Mission" had Radio 1 crossover potential.

 

I hear OAM at least twice a day on radio2 and I only listen till about 2pm.

Radio 2 showing Radio 1 up again-variety and common sense not an almost desperate need to look hip and trendy like Radio 1

The two R&B/Soul divas next to each other :wub:

 

Lovely to see Maria Mena there too. For me Radio 1 has the edge for the european dance stuff they add (albeit rarely these days), but I think Radio 2 ends up being cooler by not trying so hard as Radio 1.

TRAINTRAINTRAINTRAINTRAINTRAINTRAINTRAINTRAIN.

 

I'm rather exciting to see Hey Soul Sister on the Radio 2 playlist. Hopefully Radio 1 sees sense soon and adds it too.

From the look of this play-list, I think I'd rather listen to Radio 2 than Radio 1.

 

But I can never abandon Radio 1 - I love the Scott Mills show :wub:

Since when did the Mika song become Mika vs RedOne and get called We Are Young rather than Kick Ass? :unsure: But anyway, great playlist, def less tryhard than R1.

Haha, maybe the BBC perceive the original title as too risque to post on the Radio 2 site :lol: Although it's always been Mika vs. RedOne as far as I know - that's how it's listed on the soundtrack anyway.

i couldnt abandon radio 1 because i love the fact that one min you will hear biffy clyro and then it will be followed up by a dance record and then eminem - random diversity whereas radio 2 has some great songs on there but no genre breaking diversity imo.

Something tells me gooddelta might be happy for one Ms. Diane Birch. :naughty:
