I updated the riveria format! It’ll get structured like the BBC formats cos it quite literally is just like the bbc playlists just under the ‘global’ brand.

I intepret it as:

High rotation - 5+ plays a day

Moderate rotation - 3-4 plays a day

Low rotation - 1-2 plays a da

i’ll also make a smaller list of recent recurrent tracks that get played (2024, maybe some 2023 and 2025). Songs not from 2025/26 need 2+ to get on.

High Rotation / A LIST:

Alex Warren - Eternity [A]

Alex Warren - Ordinary [A]

Bruno Mars - I Just Might [A]

David Guetta, Teddy Swims & Tones and I - Gone Gone Gone [A]

Ed Sheeran - Camera [A]

Ed Sheeran - Sapphire [A]

KATSEYE - Gabriela [A]

Lady Gaga - The Dead Dance [A]

Taylor Swift - Opalite [A]

Moderate Rotation / B LIST:

Post Malone - I Had Some Help [B]

Taylor Swift - The Fate Of Ophelia [B]

Zara Larsson - Lush Life [B]

Low Rotation / C LIST:

Benson Boone - Mr. Electric Blue [C]

Benson Boone - Mystical Magical [C]

Benson Boone - Sorry I’m Here For Someone Else [C]

Billie Eilish - Birds Of A Feather [C]

Harry Styles - Aperture [C]

HAVEN & Kaitlin Aragon - I Run [C]

HUNTR/X - Golden [C]

Justin Bieber - Daisies [C]

Lola Young - Messy [C]

Ravyn Lenae - Love Me Not [C]

Sabrina Carpenter - Manchild [C]

Shaboozey - A Bar Song (Tipsy) [C]

Sombr - 12 to 12 [C]

Sombr - Undressed [C]

Removed (and never made tracking ijbol):

Alex Warren - Carry You Home

Ed Sheeran - Azizam

Sabrina Carpenter - Tears

RECURRENTS:

Benson Boone - Beautiful Things

Hozier - Too Sweet

Myles Smith - Nice To Meet You

Myles Smith - Stargazing

Teddy Swims - The Door

i doubt it’ll be THIS messy and that they will sprinkle a couple more songs into moderate but this is the idea

riveria updates every thursday mwah

Well Kiss has sucked me back in, mainly for Jordan and Perri's final week on breakfast but I find myself listening again this morning. I still find the high rotation tracks being repeated every 2.5 hours very irritating, like do I need to hear Sapphire that much, but at the same time it's allowing my love for Aperture to continue to grow so it's a double edged sword. Some really great throwbacks in the mix though, that's something they do get right, even if the 'Kisstory' element is all but gone apart from a meagre half an hour under a completely different name.

i find kiss to be losing all of it’s spark. all of it’s interesting adds are now thrown out the window bar ‘Midnight Sun’ and ‘Church’ cos they need money? and they hardly play either of those. Their also add pop recurrent tracks now… namely ‘Apt.’, ‘Shivers’, ‘Hot To Go!’, ‘Birds of a Feather’ and ‘That’s So True’. Kiss is really losing lots of us as was once the most interesting “main” station out there.

also no new adds this week for kiss, but they are starting to give ‘Nobody's Girl’ more daytime plays!

kiss’s recent recurrents are becoming a topic of discussion so i wanted to track all they’ve played today (+ a few others i’ve seen before) so far (p.s. this is from 2020 up)

Ariana Grande - we can't be friends (wait for your love)

also there are many songs they are now adding to the playlist as recurrents… idk how to feel about that… ;-;
