January 3, 201313 yr 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:
January 3, 201313 yr Author 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.

January 23, 201313 yr 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
January 23, 201313 yr Random (but great) addition for Andy Grammer! I'd love "Keep Your Head Up" to be a smash.
January 24, 201313 yr 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! 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! Edited January 24, 201313 yr by StephenN18

January 24, 201313 yr 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.
January 24, 201313 yr Author 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?

January 30, 201313 yr Author 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.
