I'm going to assume the playlist is unchanged rather than frozen, hence incrementing the weeks count. I presume they've still been playing these songs regularly even over the festive period?

Yeah the playlist on air has been continuing as normal

I’m surprised Capital, Heart or Radio 2 haven’t picked it up yet and it hasn’t made the Big Top 40 yesterday

I'm so out of touch I haven't heard of 90% of those artists!

It’s basically a mix of older established artists that are too leftfield for R2 and new artists mainly played by the R1 evening shows and maybe break through to the main daytime playlist eventually in the B or C list.

Thanks for posting the playlist for 6Music @Steve201

Great to see Smerz make B-list, one of my favourite tracks of last year <3

Although not credited, that The Twilight Sad track features Robert Smith of The Cure on guitar. It's one of Smith's favourite bands so it's a cute collab x

i found this very interesting to mention and i know this is very similar to heart following the rebrand, but i think we should bring light to ‘Riveria Radio’ (ik it’s not uk based but all of the presenters are british and it’s on global so i wanted to track it, also this is off today’s info, with some guesses)

Alex Warren - Eternity

Alex Warren - Ordinary

Benson Boone - Mr. Electric Blue

David Guetta, Teddy Swims & Tones & I - Gone Gone Gone

Ed Sheeran - Camera

Ed Sheeran - Sapphire

HUNTR/X - Golden

Post Malone ft. Morgan Wallen - I Had Some Help

Ravyn Lenae - Love Me Not

Raye - Where Is My Husband!

Sabrina Carpenter - Tears

Sombr - Undressed

Taylor Swift - Opalite

songs like ‘Manchild’, ‘Daisies’ and ‘There’s Just Something About Her’ have been mentioned for this playlist but i haven’t seen much to back it, i’m also not 100% on songs like ‘Birds Of A Feather’ or ‘A Bar Song’, hell even ‘Carry You Home’. will update if needed
