February 21, 201313 yr Author I can't get over how amazing this playlist is to me compared to Radio 1's. even if only Regina would agree with me. I'd probably be more inclined to buy an album with by an artist on Radio 2 than on the Radio 1 playlist. I do think the recent Radio 2 playlists have been very good: Bon Jovi, Dido, Robbie Williams, Jake Bugg, P!nk and Paloma Faith! :wub:
February 25, 201313 yr I like the Radio 2 playlist, I just can't listen to it because of the rest of the stuff they tend to play!

February 27, 201313 yr Strange stereophonics are removed the week before the albums out -probably fall on iTunes now
February 28, 201313 yr Strange stereophonics are removed the week before the albums out -probably fall on iTunes now Although on the other hand the album is the featured album of the week, so will the band will still get good exposure over the course of the week anyway. I would think the Stereophonics would be more of an album band now anyway, so when you bare that in mind IS has done very well to spend the last few weeks bubbling under the Top 40.

Indeed though i would like them to make the top 40 and extend their impressive chart history on to 2013!! Edited February 28, 201313 yr by steve201

March 6, 201313 yr Author Caro Emerald on the playlist, which will be appreciated by particular members here. :P
March 6, 201313 yr Author Will probably be taken off next week or the week after as the album is out next week.
March 6, 201313 yr Wonder if Rihanna will ever get played on BBC Radio 2. Seeing When I Was Your Man on the playlist makes me think Stay could possibly get there too.
March 7, 201313 yr Yay for Caro and what an excellent record of the week from Leddra Chapman, her current EP is her best material in four years!
March 7, 201313 yr Wonder if Rihanna will ever get played on BBC Radio 2. Seeing When I Was Your Man on the playlist makes me think Stay could possibly get there too. Surely it's a bit late in the day for Stay to be playlisted?
March 7, 201313 yr Surely it's a bit late in the day for Stay to be playlisted? Extremely late in the day lol. But I get the point that if any Rihanna song would have fit in with the Radio 2 playlist it would have been Stay.
