I didn't realise it was pushed back lol. that explains it though, it would be very odd for it to pass Radio 1 by.

 

Axwell^Ingrosso - Something New >>>>>>>>>>>>>> Girls Aloud - Something New :)

Yeah I did think something was amiss with them seemingly snubbing it from the playlist, because I've definitely heard them play it recently. Think it might've been Dance Anthems.

Funnily enough 'Moves Like Jagger' is on Radio 1 right now.

But I agree there should be a bigger list and more tracks that didn't make the A List etc. What's interesting is 'Moves Like Jagger' is a classic but it was never playlisted at the time.

 

They always play Moves like Jagger always find it weird because they never playlisted it all :lol:

 

244 plays for Moves Like Jagger - more plays than loads of songs that spent weeks on the A-list.

 

How apt that the song playing on Radio 1 right now is... 'Moves Like Jagger' :lol: it's almost like someone at Radio 1 has been reading this :P (and a few songs ago they also played 'Midnight City'!!)

 

EDIT: Oops you beat me to it Joe!

Radio 1 have decided they love Maroon 5 now for some reason so it's not surprising they play 'Moves Like Jagger' a lot these days. Wish they wouldn't tho.

Great to see The Wombats are TOTD - hopefully it makes the playlist now. After all they did playlist Klaxons and the Kooks just last year so it keeps the noughties indie pop artists still getting that relevance.

Yea I enjoyed hearing The Kooks last year. 2006 was their big year and what a good Summer that was.

 

I think Radio 1 eventually realised they made a mistake not play listing 'Moves Like Jagger' and it was a real grower, this is the reason I think they play it lots now to almost make up for it. Before that track came out I think Maroon 5 were considered not relevant anymore as they hadn't had a big hit for a while but that track completely reinvigorated them and made them relevant again.

 

Heard Grimmy play Calvin 'RTeady For The Weekend' earlier which I hadn't heard on Radio 1 for a while. Coldplay 'Paradise' is another fav classic which I don't mind hearing. I think 'Viva La Vida' still gets the odd airing. I think there may be two lists, one for old classics and one for more recent ones that normally get played as the second track after the news or 2nd on the hour after an A Lister is played. That seems to have been the system for many years with classics ideally not going back more than 5/6 years with the odd exception. Some shows seem to play a lot of classics from one year I've noticed also.

TOTD for Fri 23rd Jan - Alex Adair 'Make Me Feel Better'

 

YES YES YESSSSSS

 

I see no reason for why this isn't going to be a big #1 tbh

TOTD - Saturday 24th January 2015 - LION BABE -Treat Me Like Fire

 

TOTD - Sunday 25th January 2015 -Foo Fighters - Congregation

Edited January 25, 201510 yr by harryflynn0908

Congregation is a great Foos track, should be playlisted next Wed!

Congregation is a great Foos track, should be playlisted next Wed!

 

Should do, R1 love Foo Fighters and LION BABE I can see making INMWT list

Yea they play listed Lion Babe's 'Jump Hi'

 

I think it's great they still support Foo Fighters given they've been around a long time now. Looking back they play listed U2 right the way up until 2009.

 

2009 did seem to be a turning point on the playlist though, this was the final year some of the older acts like stopped being played. I was disanointed when Keane didn't get play listed in 2012 when Radio 1 had always supported them heavily from the beginning.

the new Rihanna single 'FourFiveSeconds' (feat. Kanye West & Paul McCartney) is today's TOTD. Can't find an audio link for it though they all seem to have been taken down -_-

TOTD for Tues 27th Jan - iLoveMakennen feat. Drake 'Tuesday' (they obvsiously waited for a Tuesday to make this TOTD lol)

 

 

Quite like this actually.

I've been loving this song for some while now! Glad they're going to finally give it some support. It's a massive banger.

I swear Tuesday was released back in December? It had an original release date of February, but then they just released it anyway :lol:

 

Good song, been around for a while now. On another note, I hope Drake puts out a new album this year!

Could this finally get playlisted and become a hit please? Quite the tune ~

 

On another note, I hope Drake puts out a new album this year!

 

Well we have the title for it already so I'd be v surprised if he doesn't :P

TOTD for Wed 28th Jan - Ibeyi 'Ghosts'

 

 

Sounds a bit boring to me on first listen, although they have nice voices. Apparently they sold out their debut UK show though so there must be some hype around them.

Well we have the title for it already so I'd be v surprised if he doesn't :P

 

We've "known" the title of Dr.Dre's new album for over a decade :lol:

 

Plenty of possible new additions to the playlist this afternoon, hopefully should make for an exciting playlist:

 

Rihanna feat. Kanye & Paul - FourFiveSeconds (pretty much guaranteed but not sure what they'll do with 'Only One' if they add this)

Foo Fighters - Congregation

Kelly Clarkson - Heartbeat Song

Years & Years - King

Twin Atlantic - Oceans

Marlon Roudette - When The Beat Drops Out (can't decide if they're going to support this or not)

Rixton - Hotel Ceiling

Maroon 5 - Sugar

ILoveMakonnen feat. Drake - Tuesday

Ibeyi - Ghosts

The Wombats - Greek Tragedy (though I've got a feeling they might not properly support them this era, despite this being TOTD)

Lion Babe - Treat Me Like Fire
