Yeah, there's no way Little Mix have been 'snubbed' - it's obvious that R1 still don't playlist a lot of OA/OS songs straightaway. It's quite annoying to see these songs enter high, fall down the charts then slowly climb again, but I guess that's where we are for now.

 

Waiting to hopefully see Blonde/Karen Harding and ZHU/AlunaGeorge added soon.

Surely it's too late for the Blonde song now, given that it was released in the middle of August? It's such a strange snub though.

Loving the new adds for Flo Rida, KDA, Kid Ink, Miguel, Rudimental and The Weeknd!

 

Still strange to see Nick Brewer staying on the INMWT list, as its doing so well. Great to see them keeping the faith with Stylo G too.

Given Little Mix and Sia have fantastic new songs out, that's a particularly disappointing list of new adds bar The Weeknd.

 

From what I've heard, Tori Kelly/ Jeremih's 'Should've Been Us' is like 'Do It Again' (Part 2) - in other words, dated and bland.

Tori :wub:

 

Not worried for Little Mix at all tbh. They will most certainly be playlisted and I think Umi's right with the possible addition dates. Although it would've been nice for them to have added them in time for next week so they could get some C-List rotation along with the hype of the video's premier on Friday.

Yeah Little Mix and Sia will undoubtedly get playlisted at a later date, it's all down to impact dates I think. Some impact immediately and some don't.

 

That said, quite annoyed that The Vamps won't have c-list airplay on release week, although that didn't stop Can We Dance doing incredibly well when that got released!

 

YASSSSS for Tori Kelly also, so glad she's finally getting support here in the UK, she's insanely talented.

The discussion about impact dates is very relevant because they seem to add certain artists straight away and others weeks after the premiere which doesn't really make sense with oaos releases from big artists but is ok for artists which can climb the chart gradually. They seem to go with album release dates as the ultimate impact date hence LM not being added this week as Omi pointed out, although most of these 4th quarter strategies have a huge track for the November release then squeeze in another single release for Xmas week in the hope album sales will be good!

I don't know, it was track of the day recently and both artists' respective last singles were huge hits and loved by Radio 1. I'm still hopeful they will.
