Loving the new Dijon song and fascinated to hear what Battered Chips sounds like 🤣

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)

Oh Kiss, what happened 😭

Are there dance versions of 'Ordinary' and 'End Of Beginning' then?

KISS have been playing the original versions.

They have even started playing "APT" and "BIRDS OF A FEATHER" and those songs are also over a year old.

Are we sure ‘Ordinary’ is actually playlisted and it’s not a just one off spot play or something?

Did Kiss not play APT and BOAF when they was originally out? I’m pretty sure they did.

I'm not sure.

'Ordinary' has been played a few times since yesterday.
