May 4, 20187 yr Why does they obsess over Florence so much? She's at their Biggest Weekend at the end of the month so makes sense I suppose
May 4, 20187 yr It's nice to see Florence + The Machine straight on the A list but it does feel a bit anticlimatic after thinking it was Arctic Monkeys on there early :lol:
May 4, 20187 yr Well that was disappointing :lol: The only thing I can think of is that they confirm the playlist earlier in the week and just forgot to take her off TBC
May 4, 20187 yr Really wasn’t expecting an insta-add in the a-List for Florence. Anyway, good adds for Jorja Smith and Luis Fonsi. A bit annoying that Sigrid, Kendrick and Nicki have all stalled on the C-List. Was expecting them all to move up. Definitely can’t see Kendrick moving up now. Not very happy that Ed has moved up over them either - He’s has enough exposure this last year. Finally, a bit of a shame to only have 5 additions this week. They could have added Kygo, John Newman, Shawn Mendes or Yodel Boy :lol:
May 4, 20187 yr Dan is right... She obviously is. Her last album debuted at #1 with 66,785 - more than Foo Fighters's most recent album which had an instant A List add with "Run". Just because it's unlikely to trouble the top 40?!
May 4, 20187 yr Florence is so an Insta-add playlist artist imo! One of the biggest female solo artists in the uk over the past decade for me - and she's appealing to both young and old - radio 1 and 2 artist!
May 4, 20187 yr I have a feeling this might be the last era that Radio 1 support though. She is 31 now and I know Radio 1 say they don’t have an age cutoff but I think it’s probably around there
May 4, 20187 yr Think it depends how the era performs. The fact they are still prepared to instantly add her to the A list would suggest to me that her next era will at least get some kind of support!
May 4, 20187 yr They should’ve removed Sigala and added Marshmello And moved M22 and Medina up to A-list....
May 4, 20187 yr Florence is an example of indie artist Radio 1 championed from the very start and blew up to be an international megastar. They have always loved her, plus she’s headlining the Big Weekend (and has headlined Glastonbury) Not everything is about making streaming playlist friendly music
May 4, 20187 yr Dan is right... Well OBVIOUSLY not considering she's just been insta added to the A list :lol: :lol:
May 4, 20187 yr She obviously is. Her last album debuted at #1 with 66,785 - more than Foo Fighters's most recent album which had an instant A List add with "Run". Just because it's unlikely to trouble the top 40?! Well personally I don't think Foo Fighters are insta-A List add material either. R1 clearly love Florence and she's a good album seller but if it were me in charge I'd have put it on the C List on week one.
