April 26, 201214 yr Great to see Skrillex 'Bangarang' FINALLY get on the Radio 1 playlist. Top 40 hit please
April 26, 201214 yr SO many songs on the retro playlist, I wish they playlisted this number now, would inevitably lead to a quicker chart turnover/more unique hit singles. An amazing list too, I own a ton of them on single, interesting to see a few flops playlisted (e.g. Andreas Johnson's second single which never took off). Really wish Made In London's Dirty Water had been a bigger hit than it was, didn't even realise it had Radio 1 backing.
April 26, 201214 yr Author Can't say I remember how that Andreas Johnson song goes :P Yes the playlist has suffered successive shrinkings over the years, it was huge back in 1997.
April 27, 201214 yr 2000 was a brill year for dance especially. Great to see Alex Clare skipping the blist and Lana staying in the alist - great song, wish it recorded a top 40 place! Pity Gemini only got a month of blist action, great to see Ben Howard and Kasabian on the alist - im really impressed with Kasabians current era - first album of theres ive brouvght and all the singles are immense inc Man of Simple Pleasures. Pity after the first single indie bands cant get their singles top 40!! Edited April 27, 201214 yr by steve201
