January 9, 201511 yr Not sure whether to put this here or in the R1 discussion thread... but from my spreadsheet here are the songs which spent longest on the playlist in 2014. 14 weeks Ed Sheeran - Sing 11 weeks Route 94 feat. Jess Glynne - My Love 10 weeks Coldplay - A Sky Full of Stars Ed Sheeran - Thinking Out Loud George Ezra - Budapest 9 weeks Calvin Harris - Summer Ellie Goulding - Goodness Gracious Imagine Dragons - Demons Katy Perry feat. Juicy J - Dark Horse Kiesza - Hideaway Paolo Nutini - Scream (Funk My Life Up) Sam Smith - Stay With Me 8 weeks Alt-J - Every Other Freckle Ariana Grande feat. Iggy Azalea - Problem Bastille - Flaws Calvin Harris feat. John Newman - Blame Charli XCX - Boom Clap Clean Bandit & Jess Glynne - Real Love Coldplay - Magic David Guetta feat. Sam Martin - Dangerous Duke Dumont feat. Jax Jones - I Got U Example - One More Day (Stay With Me) George Ezra - Blame It On Me Jamie T - Zombie Katy Perry - Birthday Kings Of Leon - Temple Lana Del Rey - West Coast Lily Allen - Air Balloon Meghan Trainor - All About That Bass Pharrell Williams - Marilyn Monroe Rita Ora - I Will Never Let You Down Royal Blood - Figure It Out Sigma - Nobody To Love Taylor Swift - Shake It Off Tiesto - Red Lights Tiesto feat. Matthew Koma - Wasted So that's 36 songs which spent 8 or more weeks on the playlist. For comparison, 41 songs spent 8+ weeks on the playlist in 2013, and 52 songs spent 8+ weeks on the playlist in 2012. Not too sure why they're not playlisting songs for as long these days though.

January 9, 201511 yr Surprised that Example song is up there as one of the most supported! :o On the subject of Ne-Yo, isnt this just the dance lead single he always uses? Following "Beautiful Monster" and "Let Me Love You". Its not terrible, but quite generic and not as good as the aforementioned Vic Mensa and Mary J Bilge songs. This was always going to be a consequence of the house domination - popstars imitating the sound. First Tulisa, now Ne-Yo, I wonder which artist will "kill" house off!! Hopefully, Taylor Swift keeps her hands off :lol:

Thanks that's a interesting list, none of them really surprised me much . Don't know why they don't playlist songs for as long now?!

Hopefully, Taylor Swift keeps her hands off :lol: I'm not saying you're wrong but not sure myself . What is the difference between an artist like Neyo doing house now in comparison to Dizzee Rascal releasing Bonkers or other artists that have went down the dance route since 2007-08?

What is the difference between an artist like Neyo doing house now in comparison to Dizzee Rascal releasing Bonkers or other artists that have went down the dance route since 2007-08? It's probably to suggest he has been one of the prime bandwagon hoppers in music since 2010, and following the current trend (which is true).

What is the difference between an artist like Neyo doing house now in comparison to Dizzee Rascal releasing Bonkers or other artists that have went down the dance route since 2007-08? Yeah, but how many artists jumped on the dance-pop bandwagon from 2009-11 and then released a house record now? Basically, he's jumped on two bandwagons! I admit there was plenty of artists who abandoned their roots to make dance-pop but they've mostly returned to their original genres (e.g. Dizzee, Chris Brown, Wiley) Edited January 9, 201511 yr by ML Hammer95
January 9, 201511 yr Yeh that's true so is the current dance domination different to the dance pop era of the late noughties?
January 9, 201511 yr Yeh that's true so is the current dance domination different to the dance pop era of the late noughties? One difference is that the house producers generally use previously unknown vocalists, while people like David Guetta used American stars like Kelly Rowland, Akon and Fergie.

Although it's been that way for a couple years now! How many songs total were playlisted in 2014 compared to 2013/2012? (Assuming you have that in your spreadsheet!) Also, how many weeks did "Rather Be" and "Happy" have? I assume they aren't on the 2014 list because they were first playlisted in 2013.

I assume they aren't on the 2014 list because they were first playlisted in 2013. Sorry Jordan, only just noticed this question. 419 songs were playlisted in 2014, compared to 450 in 2013 and 467 in 2012. Maybe it will drop to under 400 this year! 'Rather Be' was playlisted for 10 weeks and 'Happy' for (surprisingly only) 8 weeks and yes both were first added in 2013 hence they're not on my 2014 list.
