Really enjoying that Sekou track it has a lot of radio support, sadly not translating into chart success. The ANOTR song is a banger as well.

Wait till August. Sekou will appear in the chart by then…

Ella Langley - Choosin’ Texas is being playtested on HITS (prolly preparing for an add), but it’s this weird remix of it? Prob some fanmade mashup but it sounds so pretty.

I would also track the hot recurrents here but it’s very hard to analyse the pattern on that station. I’d also track hits radio dance but they are currently only playing 3 “new” songs (Blessings, No Broke Boys and Dior)

Defying Gravity on the radio???? What next??? Soda Pop on Radio 2??? Your Idol on Capital XTRA???? What It Sounds Like on Capital????

its hits radio pride... and it’s Ariana Grande. are you shocked? Defying Gravity is STILL that bitch anyways

I saw that Country had launched as has Hits Radio Dance, they're both live playlists though rather than stations. They're VERY repetitive

yea. exclusive to rayo premium. Prob testing rn, hits radio country has a good selection of hot recurrents rn (including The Giver, II Most Wanted, Austin and A Bar Song) but its hard to track. Hits Radio Dance is only playing 3 new songs so maybe they are working on that? I always thought it was weird there wasnt a dance station but that problem is now fixed! seems country is gonna impact the main station a bit more too as Ella Langley is now on

Playing 3 new dance songs mirrors the main station where they barely play any dance as well 🤪

I think Hits Radio Dance is meant to be their equivalent of Heart Dance, hence not really playing much new music. Their playlist does seem a bit more contemporary than Heart Dance though, playing stuff like Joel Corry, Tiesto (The Business) and Becky Hill.

Ah yes, I think Bauer have even said in their mission statement that they challenge Heart as a competitor so that tracks if they're trying to rival Heart Dance too. They've got their work cut out for them as it's a well established and very popular station, averaging 1 million listeners.

They should launch Hits Radio Rap, Hits Radio K-Pop and Hits Radio Musicals

Magic at the Musicals already exists. I know they could branch out and do others but it doesn't really fit the "Hits Radio Brand" so to speak but then Heart have done it too so 🤷‍♂️
