people watching still being here is taking me tf out but somehow im not mad

To be fair to Absolute, nothing really gets played more than 2 or 3 times in a day because of their 'No Repeat Guarantee' taking up 8 hours of the day Mon-Fri. People Watching is definitely still riding high there from that perspective though, it's funny but not surprising.

no major change to riviera’s main playlist this week, however Zara Larsson - Midnight Sun has finally been added on a “lower” (spot play) rotation quite late into it's run. Keep an eye on this one for next week, i get the feeling heart's gonna continue their phresh music addition trend

ugh i wish, always will be behind platforming ADÉLA .

However sadly Local is just a less ambitious version of Radio 2. Maybe Red Bottoms at a push 😭

They don't put their artist name in all capitals though!

Jamie Miller and Remember Monday would be good fits too

lots of songs that got added were across several weeks, so naturally the axes also get split across several weeks. It's a cumulative update essentially
