May 27, 201511 yr Also was Fetty Wap only Alisted for 2 weeks? Yep. It seems to be happening more and more lately (Maccabees, Galantis, Iggy, Tove Lo all only got 2 weeks on the A-list), whereas previously a song would get no less than 3 weeks on the A-list. I guess they're trying to playlist a greater number of songs for a smaller amount of time.
May 27, 201511 yr It's just on the rise too... Although blist for 3 weeks on top of that ain't too bad!
May 27, 201511 yr It's just on the rise too... Although blist for 3 weeks on top of that ain't too bad! B-list for 2 weeks actually, a week on the C-list before that
May 27, 201511 yr Ariana up to the B-List whilst Natalie moves up to the A-List is rather pleasing to see! <3
May 27, 201511 yr Nero definitely getting snubbed then. And are they really snubbing Avicii? I'm guessing it will be pushed back. Shame they didn't add Disclosure straightaway too. Looks like Britney and Iggy are being snubbed. Very snobbish of them to presumably snub Fifth Harmony, although I guess there's still a small chance next week. Just about top 200 on pre-orders with still nearly a month to release, surely the makings of a top 3 hit that they should be supporting?With all these snubs, I'm starting to get worried about Little Mix.
May 28, 201511 yr Author With all these snubs, I'm starting to get worried about Little Mix. You needn't be, pretty certain Radio 1 will still support them :kink: From some of the others mentioned earlier- I think the new Avicii single was only properly 'premiered' like a week ago, I see that being added eventually. Nero still have a chance as well, single's out on 21st June now
May 28, 201511 yr Little Mix will be fine, I'm fairly confident they'll be added. Fifth Harmony is a bizarre snub though. I wonder why they're choosing to snub them? 'Worth It' will be a bigger hit than 'Bo$$' (deservedly so too!) with some extra longevity. Hmm... Radio 1 are always saying how they want to appeal to younger demographic, but are choosing to snub some really odd ones lately! OMI only ever reaching B-List. Completely snubbing Marlon Roudette and now Fifth Harmony and (potentially) Avicii/Nero!
May 28, 201511 yr I'm surprised they dropped Sia. The single may not be doing well but it's certainly selling the album.
May 30, 201511 yr lol One Last Time only B-listed just now :P yay Somebody/Bad Blood/The Giver/Coffee :D yikes they'd better pick up Worth It though :P Edited May 30, 201511 yr by brokenrecords
May 30, 201511 yr Has Justin Bieber ever been A-listed as a lead artist or just as a featured artist? I'm assuming #thatPOWER would be the only other song of his that may have been A-listed.

OMI and Marlon Roudette were both heavily played by Radio 2 though, which implies that it's not the *younger* demographic who are really into those songs.
May 30, 201511 yr Little Mix will be added for sure. Radio 1 are still into them. 5th Harmony I'm not surprised about as much, Radio 1 must be sick of supporting flop girlbands.
May 31, 201511 yr Little Mix will be added for sure. Radio 1 are still into them. 5th Harmony I'm not surprised about as much, Radio 1 must be sick of supporting flop girlbands. :no: I think I agree with what Jonjo had said about it being a bizarre snub; especially given that Worth It feels more like a hit than BO$$ and their previous singles, and with the US success it's enjoying now, it doesn't sound like something that would classify as a 'flop girlband' song (I feel like "What Are You Waiting For?" would fit that description better tbh). Worth It should do well with or without support, it's just strange that R1 aren't getting behind something that would ideally smash (and would clearly appeal to a younger demographic also).
May 31, 201511 yr A bit gutted Trap Queen is off the playlist as it was just about to enter the top 10 on Spotify, another week of Radio 1 A List could've got it in. I'm glad for Radio 1 play-listing it in the first place though, it's the only reason it's been top 40 the past month. :lol:
