February 23, 201214 yr It sounds like a bit of a ridiculous staement to make abot Burke, fair enough dont play her song but why slabber about her in general? As for playing people like Nicki Minaj and not playing Cher Lloyd - i understand this - Minaj is one of the biggest pop stars in the us at the minute and the radio stations are dying to hear her new material! Cher Lloyd isnt really. But look at the alist we have the following Brit artists - Ed Sheeran, DJ Fresh,Coldplay,Ben Howard,Dappy/Brian May,Emeli Sande, Jessie J,Kasabian, Stooshe, Nero, Young Guns and Ting Tings so there isnt really a problem there, its more a case of you personally liking cher and being annoyed. On the Ting Tings why alist them now? Would have been better last week or the week before - its not really appeared on itunes!!

Travie McCoy isn't entirely British, whilst Neon Hitchwho feature on Gym Class Heroes song are also from the UK. Only 19/49 songs are entirely foreign, featuring acts from 8 different countries. They're supporting loads of British acts so it's not really like Cher and Alex have been forced off by foreign acts...
February 23, 201214 yr Indeed i would rather hear british indie acts than british pop acts like cher lloyd which are nearly always based on US pop artists which create better songs anyway. The only acts i can think of that does as well as their US conterparts would be Taio Cruz and you can see this by his us success!!
February 23, 201214 yr None of Cher's songs sound like anything the big US girls are making though. She is unique. The only female British artist that is based off US artists is Jessie "Bargain Basement Katy Perry" J if you ask me. Can anyone explain to me what being on the 1-Upfront playlist actually means?

February 23, 201214 yr The radio edit of Rack City does like Sexy Chick, where the word "bitch" is replaced with "chick" all the way through (if they blanked it out, it would practically just be an instrumental track :lol:). That's the edit used for the video but whenever I've heard Rack City on the radio it's a different edit where they just cut out the 'tch' part and replace it with a very low-pitched noise. If you get what I mean. The same effect used to censor the line 'some of my family doing good, most doing dope' in Champion. Can anyone explain to me what being on the 1-Upfront playlist actually means? Northing, as the 1-Upfront list hasn't existed for AGES. It's been changed to the In New Music We Trust list. As far as I'm aware it's basically just a D-List under a different name - they get guaranteed plays per week but not as many as the songs on the C-List, which have in turn fewer guaranteed plays per week than songs on the B-List etc. I may be wrong about that though.

February 24, 201214 yr I tend to disagree with you on cher lloyd but hey. As for the In New Music list - clist songs tend to be played between 5-10 times a week - 10 times in the week of release lets say. The In New music list are records that tend to be played maybe 3 times a week and tend to be heard in shows like Fearne Cotton's in mid morning becuase its in her remit to introduce new artists to the audience in a daytime capacity. She usually gets these songs from Nick Grimshaws or Annie Macs show and gives them their first daytime plays - and some of them end up in the dlist. You tend to find that songs which are on the In New Music list sometimes get re-released a year later when the artist gets a bigger record deal. I'm trying to remember a artist who was played in the dlist one year then got alist when re-released. I was thining of In for the kill by La Roux but it was withn months or The Wolves by Ben Howard but it was blisted last June when it was released!

I know that haha. I just called it that to avoid confusion because that's what it's referred to in here. Radio 1 like to rename their stuff a lot don't they? The DJ's Records of the Week is "DJ'S Big Things" now. I much preferred the former. :(
February 26, 201214 yr B-List Jay-Z & Kanye West - Paris So they've playlisted it but they don't want people to actually buy it, so they've given an incomplete title... :lol:
February 26, 201214 yr So that explains the Anna Calvi add which confused us all.. She was up for breakthrough which R1 vote for so they played her a bit so we would have heard of her. Now the brits have been and gone she's dropped! They've pulled a similar stunt before adding Metronomy and Ghostpoet when they were nominated for the Mercury's and they had a decent chance of winnig it, when PJ Harvey won both songs were dropped and they haven't been playlisted again.. Also the act I can think off who was rerealsed is Fenech Soler who Originally were on INMWT and then were B-Listed On the rerealse..
February 26, 201214 yr There has been a fair few just cant think, loads of artists re-release songs when they move to bigger labels etc. Wish Niggas in Paris was moved to the alist, it might stall on itunes now but the release of Safe House will boast it too!!

February 26, 201214 yr Nero being A-playlisted= shocking. That watered down dub step is the worst kind of music. And the fact so many people love the destruction of a brilliant genre? makes me SICK.
February 26, 201214 yr Its not all watered down on the album though - its good that it introduces the genre to a more broad scope of people and maybe makes them dig deeper to find the less commercial stuff!
February 26, 201214 yr Nero being A-playlisted= shocking. That watered down dub step is the worst kind of music. And the fact so many people love the destruction of a brilliant genre? makes me SICK. Not that shocking considering Radio 1 have A-Listed all 5 of Nero's previous singles :P
February 26, 201214 yr i dont necessarily agree with that though 3 alisted singles from an album imo is enough, it can all get very stale and newer music gets pushed down too often!!
February 26, 201214 yr Not that shocking considering Radio 1 have A-Listed all 5 of Nero's previous singles :P Oh come on, lets show a bit of common sense here. Shocking, not as it 'Im surprised' but more that 'Its terrible'. Stop splitting hairs constantly. Steve it is good more people are introduced to dub step, but mainstream dub step is so different that they usually don't like the heavier stuff. It kills me every time a 14 year old girl posts on Facebook her love for Nero when he, along with Skrillex, is probably one of the worst dub step producers of all time. I swear Skrillex was once good.

Heavier sounds just don't BECOME mainstream, there's a reason that they're underground. Personally I like both 'styles' of dubstep. (While I'm 'splitting hairs' I should point out that Nero is a group - not that I see how that simple misunderstanding was 'splitting hairs' in the first place). Edited February 26, 201214 yr by Bré

Im sorry but do you actually even read posts? At no points did I ever mention acts becoming mainstream, I was just expressing the difference between mainstream and underground dub step. And you were splitting hairs by saying it wasn't a shock that the single was play listed, when it clearly was meant like that.

'More people being introduced to dubstep' is EXACTLY the same thing as going mainstream. You're the one splitting hairs here now.
