October 6, 201312 yr Le Youth isn't surprising at all. Both Choice FM and Radio 1Xtra played them. I found the top 10 most played songs on Capital Xtra: http://www.ukairplaychart.com/234//Capital_XTRA/ 1. Dizzee Rascal - Something Really Bad 2. Naughty Boy ft. Wiz Khalifa & Ella Eyre - Think About It 3. Jay-Z ft. Justin Timberlake - Holy Grail 4. Tinie Tempah ft. John Martin - Children of the Sun 5. Kanye West - Bound 2 6. Drake ft. Majid Jordan - Hold On, We're Going Home 7. Fuse ODG - Azonto 8. Daft Punk ft. Pharrell - Lose Yourself to Dance 9. Nelly ft. Nicki Minaj & Pharrell - Get Like Me 10. DJ Fresh vs Diplo ft. Dominique Young Unique - Earthquake So it seems like any old urban station to be honest. If it's going to be broadcast across the whole country then maybe the normal Capital will start playing less of stuff Macklemore, Justin Timberlake, Robin Thicke, etc. and focus more on dance music, pop music and start playing stuff like Bastille, etc. Edited October 6, 201312 yr by Eric_Blob

October 7, 201312 yr Hardwell & Dyro feat. Bright Lights - Never Say Goodbye (22 August) Lol at this still being on the playlist despite it massively flopping. I wonder how often they're actually playing it. Once a day, at 11pm? :lol:
October 7, 201312 yr Lol at this still being on the playlist despite it massively flopping. I wonder how often they're actually playing it. Once a day, at 11pm? :lol: More likely once a week at 3am. :lol: They should've playlisted Call Me a Spaceman instead, since I heard that song a lot earlier in the year. It would've had a better chance at charting since it was already quite popular.

October 17, 201312 yr YAY for them adding Iggy! :wub: They finally removed "I Love It", but it's still going to be played 25 times a day. <_<
October 17, 201312 yr Bastille - Of The Night Well THIS i wasn't expecting! Didn't they just kinda ignore Pompeii and all their other singles? I doubt they'll play this very often, but it could be a sign it'll do very well
October 17, 201312 yr Great to see 'Skip to the Good Bit' (:wub:) and 'Unconditionally' added :cheer:
October 17, 201312 yr No Britney! Grr!! This is starting to become very frustrating. Especially after she went into the studio to give them a live interview. :angry:
October 17, 201312 yr Them adding Little Mix. :wub: Was kinda doubtful considering they hadn't playlisted them since 'Wings.' Yay for Bastille and Wilkinson too. I can't believe 'This Is What It Feels Like' is still on there. :lol:
October 17, 201312 yr Author This is starting to become very frustrating. Especially after she went into the studio to give them a live interview. :angry: I was under the impression that the song hadn't been sent for adds yet? That would make sense since Work Bitch is something Capital would usually lap up!
October 17, 201312 yr I was under the impression that the song hadn't been sent for adds yet? That would make sense since Work Bitch is something Capital would usually lap up! Maybe, but her UK record label have sent the video to the music channels, so surely they would have sent it to radio too?
October 17, 201312 yr Author Maybe, but her UK record label have sent the video to the music channels, so surely they would have sent it to radio too? I can't remember where I read it, I'm sure it was posted on Twitter by someone from Capital. But yeah, don't quote me because I'm not 100% sure! If it is the case, her label really are terrible!
October 17, 201312 yr Well THIS i wasn't expecting! Didn't they just kinda ignore Pompeii and all their other singles? I doubt they'll play this very often, but it could be a sign it'll do very well Probably because of the song itself and not Bastille. Did they not play 'Things We Lost in the Fire' a fair bit, though?
October 17, 201312 yr BASTILLE :o Wait, did they really play 'Things We Lost In The Fire'?? Edited October 17, 201312 yr by mango
October 17, 201312 yr Iggy Azalea featuring. T.I - Change Your Life :o :o :o Does this mean they will play it though?!
October 17, 201312 yr Well THIS i wasn't expecting! Didn't they just kinda ignore Pompeii and all their other singles? I doubt they'll play this very often, but it could be a sign it'll do very well I havent heard the new single but maybe it sounds more dancey and hence its addition? They playlisted Pompeii when it went top 10. Quite an interesting list this week although alot of what they have added are songsd radio 1 have supported aND GOT TOP 10 THEN THEY JUMP ON BOARD!!
October 17, 201312 yr Woop for Martin Garrix and Wilkinson. Surprised but pleased to see Bastille on there too (not heard 'Of The Night' yet though).
October 19, 201312 yr Maybe, but her UK record label have sent the video to the music channels, so surely they would have sent it to radio too? It has been sent out to UK radio. It was sent out last month! I'm sorry, but unless it becomes a big hit, you'll be very unlikely to hear it on Capital! On the other hand I've heard it on Kiss a few times over the past week as well as other smaller local stations in my area.
