February 10, 201115 yr I just didn't expect them to playlist all six. I thought they only did the first few singles from an album, not the fourth, fifth and six too. They normally don't go past the 3rd or 4th single for most artists (although most artists don't even get to a 4th single, let alone a 5th, from one album) but Plan B is a 'Radio 1 artist' - basically he's guaranteed a spot on the playlist regardless of how well or poorly he performs chart-wise. See also Biffy Clyro, All Time Low, Snow Patrol, You Me At Six, Tinie Tempah.

Paloma Faith also had six singles playlisted (Stone Cold Sober, New York, Do You Want The Truth Or Something Beautiful, Upside Down, New York [re-release] and Smoke & Mirrors.) More surprising considering just the first two made the top 40.

February 11, 201115 yr It will probably be moved up next week judging by how well it is doing on iTunes thats one thing i dont overly like about the radio 1 playlist - they rarely take the risk of putting a new act in the alist a long time before release - they usualy wait until they see its doing well like this nicki minaj track and the current taio cruz one.why not alist album tracks especially longer before release to give it a chance to build and move up on itunes as they need longer to chart after the album release?
