Raye should have a big 2017 hopefully. Probably the person with the most chance of UK success from this year's list, Rag'n'Bone Man aside.

TOTD 5th January: Rag'n'Bone Man - Human (Acoustic) (BBC Sound Of 2017 Artist #2)

 

Really surprised he's not number one artist considering the success of the song..

A last minute entry means that tomorrow they'll announce Ed Sheeran as the winner of BBC Sound Of 2017!

...And the winner of the BBC Sound of 2017 is....

 

DECLAN MCKENNA!!!

I wonder if Starley and Jax Jones will get playlisted tomorrow? I'm pretty sure they'll throw Ed straight on the A-list, though they probably won't playlist Major Lazer right away.

These Playlist predictions post seemed to die halfway through last year so I'm bringing these back!

I think the predictions posts died because it got harder and harder to predict who they were going to playlist and when. Even now, they're quite random with how early or late they add songs to the playlist.

Jax Jones will definitely be C-listed tomorrow, I heard Clara Amfo play it on her show today and they're really hyping it up especially with Sound Of artist RAYE being on it.

So I guess they're going to playlist Starley after all this time! I thought they'd have Ed's tracks as TOTDs this weekend though.

they're probably saving the Ed tracks for the weekdays when more people are listening.

I wouldn't be surprised if they don't bother with making the Ed tracks TOTD I must say, considering they're getting A list rotation from the get go! Could be wrong of course but I guess they might want to share out the TOTDs to songs that need it more?

Normally now R1 don't TOTD tracks that are on the playlist. The only exception was the BBC Sound Of 2017 artists who already had a song on the playlist if they finished in the top 5.
