Mentioned in the Radio 1 playlist thread that I'd been checking out Hits Radio recently as it's grown its exposure taking over many local stations. They're a rival to Capital/Heart but do appear to have a broader playlist when it comes to a current rotation. As it's Bauer, it's not easy to track what's being played but from reviewing the 'playlist' I think I've pinned down the current list, as follows:

Alex Warren - Carry You Home

Alex Warren - Eternity

Alex Warren - Ordinary

Benson Boone - Beautiful Things

Benson Boone - Mystical Magical

Benson Boone - Sorry I'm Here For Someone Else

Calvin Harris & Clementine Douglas - Blessings

Chappell Roan - Pink Pony Club

Chappell Roan - The Subway

Craig David - Rain

David Guetta & Sia - Beautiful People

Ed Sheeran - Azizam

Ed Sheeran - Sapphire

Gracie Abrams - That's So True

HUNTR/X, EJAE, AUDREY NUNA, REI AMI & KPop Demon Hunters Cast - Golden

JADE - Plastic Box

Jax Jones feat. Emei - Stereo

Justin Bieber - DAISIES

Lady Gaga & Bruno Mars - Die With A Smile

Lewis Capaldi - Survive

MK feat. Chrystal - Dior

Myles Smith - Gold

Myles Smith - Nice To Meet You

Myles Smith - Stargazing

Olivia Dean - Nice To Each Other

Olly Murs - Save Me

Post Malone feat. Morgan Wallen - I Had Some Help

ROSÉ & Bruno Mars - APT.

Shaboozey - A Bar Song (Tipsy)

Sabrina Carpenter - Manchild

sombr - undressed

Sonny Fodera & Jazzy - All This Time

Sugababes - Shook

Teddy Swims - Lose Control

Teddy Swims - The Door

Most songs receive 2-4 plays a day, with some big spinners up to 6. I'll try and post the regular additions here as and when I can.
