How long before 'Hair' becomes a joint third of Gaga's R1 airplay?

 

Quite surprised that they keep Beyonce, but then drop LMFAO, Wretch 32 and Nero; all of which have proved commerical successes. Odd about a lack of Take That too, perhaps they'll wait until a video is released though.

 

Good to see Derulo making an appearance again, although Example and Calvin Harris on the A-lists are my favourites this week - both deserve to/are going to be... HUGE.

I still have hope they'll playlist Love Love in the coming weeks but let's be honest, it is/was only a matter of time beforw TT became 'too old' for R1 :( I was surprised at how supportive they were of the Progress era. I'd say it might just be because of Robbie but then Robbie is on LL too.

Pleasantly surprised to see 'Pumped Up Kicks' making an appearance. I've been aware of this track since it was submitted into Unknown Pleasures about 2 months ago.

 

Also quite to see Olly Murs move up to the A list - I've been impressed with three of his singles (I couldn't stand 'Heart On My Sleeve' because his vocals were painful to listen to) but he definitely suits the summer(ish) acoutic guitar pop songs much better.

 

I also sadly have to disagree with danieLMFAO re; Calvin Harris. I saw the video for the first time on The Box and thought 'Bounce' was just a mess. Not quite the mess that 'Merrymaking At My Place' was ( ** shudders ** ) but not exactly up there with the singles from the last album. Calvin has disappointed me. :(

calvins been moved forward a week so theyve just thrown themselves behind it..strange to see hard fi getting support theyare the sor of artist that got big support durng the oughties indie revival but have faded since!!

Well, they haven't released an album since 2007 which is probably why - plus, their links to The Clash and a few soul influences made them more credible than a lot of that crowd anyway. Their second album being a relative flop was one of the first signs of the indie crash really, "Suburban Knights" did pretty well (got to #2 on the download charts) but the other singles didn't.
