February 6, 201313 yr Author Bit late adding Jake Bugg's Lightning Bolt to the playlist! Nice to see Bon Jovi as single of the week - I guess the 11 March is the release date of the CD?

February 13, 201313 yr Carrie Underwood - Before He Cheats What the hell? This is THREE ALBUMS AGO from her!
February 13, 201313 yr One day, in the far far future, Before He Cheats will finally become a UK hit. Probably not this time, or the next time, or the one after that. But some much needed exposure on X Factor 2024 should finally seal the deal.
February 13, 201313 yr Great to see Carrie playlisted, but very strange song choice even though it is brilliant! :wub:
February 15, 201313 yr Wow at Carrie playlisted! :o If this became a hit I would die of happiness. :wub:
February 15, 201313 yr I'd say it's possibly the best I've ever seen. Very diverse, and all fantastic music (it just needs Hurts to be perfect). Everyone should give this a listen :wub: Indeed they should... and then vote for it :kink:
February 15, 201313 yr http://www.dingsme.info/avatar8.jpgWhat the hell? This is THREE ALBUMS AGO from her!
February 15, 201313 yr Please elaborate.... It comes down to not liking a single tune or artist (with the exception of Sinead O'Connor) in the playlist. I supposedly fit into the Radio 2 demographic, this playlist could not be further from my musical tastes. All the playlist seems to include is generic, MOR blandness. How can anyone with any musical taste listen to this station?. I understand I am too old for Radio 1, but I at least can pick a few tunes from their playlist that I like. I'll stick to 6Music thanks.

I like pretty much everything on this playlist :D and like very little on the Radio 1 playlist, which is supposed to appeal to someone my age.
February 15, 201313 yr I like pretty much everything on this playlist :D and like very little on the Radio 1 playlist, which is supposed to appeal to someone my age. I'm the same. Come on, Dido and Stereophonics A listed-what's not to love? I couldn't even hum most of the Radio 1 playlist since most tracks are forgettable and a bit current for this 24 year old who is still supposedly in their target audience.
February 15, 201313 yr Dido and the Phonics >>> all of the R1 playlist (most of which I have never heard)
February 15, 201313 yr Omg omg omg omg the SECOND BEST SONG EVER :wub: Obviously Before He Cheats ftr, it might be from an album that came out almost 8 years ago (:o) but anything that has the second best song of all time getting a bit of exposure is totally fine by me. Radio 2 I LOVE YOU :wub:[/stanmode]
