R1 have played Baby by Four Tet 6 times since it was released on Friday!

 

Isn’t that a lot for a new song that’s not even playlisted?

Every single one of those plays has been during the night time shows, they love Four Tet!

 

No daytime plays, so it's not really that much at all.

They played it daytime once according to Lastfm x

Ah, my mistake I got 12AM and 12PM confused :lol:

 

Point remains though.

Playlist predictions for tomorrow (not as optimistic as last week :))

• Dua Lipa - Physical (straight to a List) I’m hoping this is as good as I’ve heard people say it is!

• Georgia - 24 hrs

• Tame Impala - Lost in yesterday - Going to try both of these again as I still think they both might be added

• Tom Grennan - This is the Place - Think I might be a bit early with this but I’ll hope anyway

• SAINt JHn - Roses (Imanbak remix) - Adele Roberts’ Tune of the week and nearly entering the top 40 now

• Mac Miller - Blue World - this has been played quite a few times considering it isn’t yet playlisted

• Becky Hill - Better Off Without You - Now on the verge of the Top 40 and also had some spot plays here and there

• Tones and I - Never Seen the Rain - This one I’m least convinced about. I still think it’s playlisting might be a couple of weeks away.

 

Does anyone else have anything that they think might be added as well/instead?

It really is!

 

Good predictions again I think, but I'm not at all convinced that they'll support Tones & I, at least not unless it makes upwards progress in the chart. I'm also hopeful they'll playlist Joel Corry, I think 'Lonely' is a better song than 'Sorry' so I really want it to smash.

R1 hated Dance Monkey and added it super late, sure they'll pass on the new one

Yeah, unless it shows signs of becoming a hit (which I doubt it will tbh).

It was Scott Mills’ Tune of the week this week so they’re happy to support it at least.

It's also definitely a less polarising song than DM.

I do wonder if Tune of the Week is a genuine choice by the DJs though. I’d like to think it is which would then mean it shouldn’t influence playlist adds

I think they are. There are times where a presenter will have a TOTW that won’t get playlisted. Plus you can see Clara will most often than not have an urban track whilst Scott will go for a cheesy pop song or dance track.

5/7, basically the same as last week, quite pleased with that. I really wasn’t as sure as I was last week so I’m pleased that I got that many.

Playlist predictions:

• Anne-Marie - Birthday

• Declan McKenna - Beautiful Faces

• Lil Nas X (Feat. Nas) - Rodeo

• JP Saxe (Feat. Julia Michaels) - If the world was ending

• Mac Miller - Blue World

• Joel Corry - Lonely

• DaBaby - BOP

• MK - One Night

 

 

Hope they insta-add Anne-Marie but they might wait a week or two. Hope they add Declan too although they didn't playlist 'British Bombs' (not sure if that was an official single though). I'd say Joel Corry is a dead cert to be added tomorrow.

British Bombs wasn't an official single!

 

I'd be surprised (and disappointed) if they didn't think Anne-Marie was worthy of an instant add, she had a really big debut era after all and this is her first release as lead artist since that!

think the JP Saxe/Julia Michaels song is too much R2 territory, sadly cos it's an amazing track, my #1 this year

sure Anne Marie is insta-added, lately they're adding anyone, people much less popular than Anne Marie

Yeh JP Saxe is a decent track, hopefully radio 2 will take a punt or it becomes a hit and they have no choice!

Just the instant B-List add for Anne-Marie Bjork will be glad to hear!

 

Also Bieber only C-Listed And Slipknot Record of the weekend!
