I like the idea of a general Radio 1 discussion thread, rather than just being limited to the TOTDs :)

yeah, we could predict playlists here too I guess and point out notable Zane Lowe Hottest Record In The World selections

Yeh the Zane Lowe HR Is relevant as they are similar. Hottest records they think will break through generally get TOTD status a few weeks later.

 

This week one of the Hottest Records is the new single by Years & Years. Tonight's was the new single by Joey Badass/Keisza!

Wondering if Iggy's Beg For It will finally be added? It has a remix EP on iTunes out 25th January so I'm really hoping that's its impact date.

Is there even going to be a new playlist today? I thought this week's had already been published on Monday and then it'll be back to Wednesdays from next week? I could be wrong though.

I think the playlist posted on Monday was the one for this week (i.e. it went into effect immediately instead of a few days later like usual) and there'll be another one today which is for next week as usual. IIRC this is what happened last year anyway.

Is 'The Nights' even getting released? No sign of it on iTunes.

 

R1 didn't playlist Resonance so I don't have much hope for the new one getting support.

 

The future adds looks bang on though, Nothing Really Matters could definitely be this year's Say Something (or even All of Me, but that seems very optimistic). Would love Cheerleader and Something New to be massive #1s too.

You're right, just seen it on their facebook page. Hopefully it'll be posted here soon!

As per my post in the new playlist thread, if we could refrain from using this thread to discuss the weekly playlist that'd be good, since we already have a weekly thread for that purpose and those separate threads are easier to find for future reference than a post in a single large thread. This thread can be used for all other R1-related discussion :magic:

 

(I make this post having posted in here in reaction to the new playlist myself :kink:)

Seriously, what is it with Radio 1 playing M83's 'Midnight City' pretty much once every other day? They're as obsessed with the song now as they were when it came out 2 years ago.

Radio 1 have a selection of old songs they play on repeat.

 

There was a time in 2014 where they were playing Plan B's 'She Said' every other day.

Yeah I know but it just seems that 'Midnight City' is one in particular which just gets hammered as if it was on the C-list or something. There are so many other great older songs they could choose from instead of the same ones over and over again. They also do that a lot with artists which annoys me, in particular All Time Low, You Me At Six and Pendulum.

TOTD for Thurs 8th Jan - James Bay 'Scars'

So happy for James Bay :wub:

Talking of Radio 1 repeating old songs, they were obsessed with "I Need a Doctor" for a while.

There still obsessed with a lot of songs that they playlisted, really wish they would use their old playlists to use like the other BBC stations it can get boring sometimes listening to the same old songs all of the time :(
