Interesting to see a soundtrack as album of the week! It's clearly going to be one of the biggest "compilation" albums of the year anyway. That seems like a very small total of songs on the playlist though :unsure:
Is Different a climber? I thought it was alisted before xmas?

You're right, Robbie and Paloma should be in red as they are fallers.

I hope Dido moves up to the A-List in the next couple of weeks. Although "Don't Believe In Love" was A-Listed and did practically zilch on the charts!

 

Nice to see Emilia of "Big Big World" score another Radio 2 smash to her name. :P

Random (but great) addition for Andy Grammer! I'd love "Keep Your Head Up" to be a smash.

She should move up to the A list probably next week, although it's not out until 25th February, so I hope they carry on playing it until then. I think it should hit top 40, hopefully, she'll promote here this time. Her album's been delayed in the US until the end of March maybe so she can promote here, and then go to the US. As well, Dido will be a guest judge on The Voice UK!

I'm still baffled how A-list support on the biggest station in the country can't help some great songs even make the top 200 e.g. Josh Osho's Imperfections

Simple - the majority of Radio 2's demographic doesn't download music. Radio 2 can boost album sales and help them up the charts, but it has very little impact on singles as the majority of singles aren't available physically anymore.

I wonder whether songs/albums get any effect from being Record of the Week. Do they get specially mentions for the week on the show or something?

They get a nice little intro before they get played :P and some info about the coming album etc.

Shame that Madness has been taken off the playlist. :( I'm sure I Belong to You has previously been Album of the Week: I recognise that artwork.
