August 4, 20179 yr Versace taken off very early. Glad to see Real Life, Rain and New Rules progressing particularly the former. And great to see Boys already on there
August 4, 20179 yr Author It's my first time doing this in years, go easy on me with my mistakes! Really pleased to see continued support for Jessie Ware, one of my favs, even though I don't like the song. Obviously really happy to see Swish Swish finally getting the radio push, ecstatic to see Charli added so early and Dua up to A list already. Either Way and Congratulations are also massive tunes. Really hoping Lana doesn't totally stall on the C list, though I can't see her staying there given how well the album is doing.
August 4, 20179 yr Charli, Jessie, Snakehips & Katy :wub: Can Swish Swish FINALLY be a hit? Maybe with a killer video and now that Feels is doing so well, but I doubt it.
August 4, 20179 yr Author Can Swish Swish FINALLY be a hit? Maybe with a killer video and now that Feels is doing so well, but I doubt it. Nah I feel like Swish will deff be a hit now, obviously outside gay clubs and avid pop fans the GP don't really know it, but as long as it moves up to B/A list on Radio 1 I think it'll do very well, it's almost sold as much as Bon Appetit already, video is out August 21st. The only issue is the fact it might do well on sales but not streaming unless Hot Hits UK add it back again?
August 4, 20179 yr Thank you to White Mustang for this. A big old clear out of the B-List this week which is good to see but I'm very surprised to see both Bugsy Malone and Bruno Mars removed. The right songs were removed off the A-List this week as well although I'm surprised Alma's still on there but I'm sure it will be her last week. A bit surprising is that Kesha has stalled on the B-List but I'm sure they will move her up in the next couple of weeks. On the new additions, I'm looking forward to hearing Post Malone and Snakehips the most but most of the 10(!) new additions are very good.

I've got a feeling that it could potentially blow up the same way Side To Side did last year after a killer video / performance on the VMA's. Here's hoping, such a fun song and one of my faves this year.
August 4, 20179 yr Yesss for Katy, Jessie Ware and Charli (so eager for Jessie to finally get her thoroughly deserved proper big break). Surprised at the early removal for 'Versace', I though that was going to be mega.
August 4, 20179 yr George ezra 8 weeks playlisted Last 5 in the Alist Plus R2 too And still has done nothing at all And its a decent song :/ how bizarre
August 4, 20179 yr What a surprise (not) Enrique is not playlisted. I guess once it is #1 in the country they will feel forced to add them to the C/B list and keep them there until they are out as they did mistreating Despacito. :(

I guess once it is #1 in the country they will feel forced to add them to the C/B list and keep them there until they are out as they did mistreating Despacito. :( To be fair though, they have refused to playlist quite a few of Enqirue's last few singles (even the ones that were sizeable top 10 hits)
August 4, 20179 yr Very pleased to see The Big Moon, Alt-J, Charli XCX, Jessie Ware, Katy, Royal Blood, Snakehips. The Toddla T and Yungen songs are growers as is Post Malone :o
August 4, 20179 yr George ezra 8 weeks playlisted Last 5 in the Alist Plus R2 too And still has done nothing at all And its a decent song :/ how bizarre I've thought this. I guess it's just Ed Sheeran aside, this music became outdated after 2014.
August 4, 20179 yr As if they've just playlisted a song which is on NOW 96 Yes but the song had started to receive exposure at the time of NOW 96's release and it would seem with that album and the recent NOW 97 that they are taking chances on newer tracks. Congratulations appears to be being "re-released" as such with radio jumping on board and a seemingly new impact date.
August 4, 20179 yr The song is old That didn't stop it entering the top 40 a few weeks ago* :') * which is why it's on the playlist.
August 4, 20179 yr Radio 1 are starting to annoy me with the randomness of the playlist - songs by LM/David Guetta/Rita are A listed for upwards of 3 months and yet the give 3/4 weeks C&B list support to artists like Wolf Alice/Dizzee Rascal/Everything Everything/Bugzy Malone - how is that fair in anyway - it's as if they pay lip service to supporting new music nowadays and totally rinse the biggest hits both in weeks on the playlist & rotation - they seem to have lost what they are for - they shouldn't be like commercial radio just playing the hits!
