April 1, 201114 yr Didn't Someone Like You get to #1 before Radio 1 playlisted it? It did get played on Radio 1 a few times beforehand, but Start Without You got played a few times on Radio 1 before that got to #1 too.
April 1, 201114 yr Cliff Richard's Millennium Prayer is the famous one-Radio One actually banned his songs!!!!
April 1, 201114 yr That was C-Listed after release. The only recent ones I can think of have both been mentioned (The Wanted and Alexandra Burke - SWY) Bizarrely R1 have A-Listed everything The Wanted have released since ATL... did the wanted not get c/blisted the week it wen to no1?
April 1, 201114 yr did the wanted not get c/blisted the week it wen to no1? AFAICR, they weren't even playlisted after they got #1, which just makes it even more strange they seemed so happy to A-List their other three singles. Someone correct me if I'm wrong about that though :P Edited April 1, 201114 yr by Bray
April 8, 201114 yr I remember Scooter - Ramp! (The Logical Song) not getting any airplay. It peaked at #2 because there hadn't been enough CDs pressed so the shops sold out and it dropped to #4 before climbing back to #2 for 2 further weeks. In fact none of Scooter's releases got any airplay despite them having 7 top 20 singles and 4 Top 30 albums including the #1 - Jumpin All Over The World. The only R1 airplay they got was on the Sunday chart shows. The did make some appearances on TOTP and had good airplay on Satellite music channels.
