Still no Katy Perry and they could have done with adding Selena Gomez

Edited by Hadji

Great to see Coldplay go straight to A List and Roberto Surace climb up to A this week.

 

I'm shocked 'Dance Monkey' has stalled on the B List even though it's been at Number 1 for a good few weeks now and is still increasing on sales. What exactly is the problem with it?

Maybe it's just too 'pop' for them? Whatever the reason, they've clearly decided it's not progressing past the B-list and they'll take it off the second it falls from No. 1 :(

Does anyone know how many 'spins' it gets on the station? You will probably find its played on A-List rotation.

 

Instant add for the new 1975 and Coldplay is always good to see. My fav artists on the playlist are Celeste, Fontaines DC, Sea Girls & Michael Kiwanuka. Radio 1 should really get behind the latter he should be lauded by the British industry - his last album was brilliant and everything on this sounds even better.

The homophobia :cry:

A song on the A-list gets 25 plays a week, 13 for a B-list song and 8 for C-list. At least that's what it used to be, I'm not sure if that's still the case.

The homophobia :cry:

But no Kylie or Madonna means they've been homophobic for years lol

Dance Monkey apparently gets a polarising response from listeners which I assume is why it's not getting to the A list!

shocked theres no Selena, was expecting an insta A-list add

 

I really like Dance Monkey but I can understand the polarising situation, half of my friends love it, the other half hate it with a passion

shocked theres no Selena, was expecting an insta A-list add

 

For Selina :lol: You must be joking! I expect she'll get added within the next few weeks though.

Seems a shame that a song being polarising is keeping it from the A-list. That really tells the tale of of how safe commercial pop music has become, and how radio stations have helped to let it get that way.

 

Seems like a long long time since I've heard a commercial pop/chart hit that shocked me with how different it sounds. Dance Monkey does at least partly fill this quota thanks to Tones' marmite vocal but it's not exactly a 'wow, this is so different' moment on the level of Uptown Funk, Somebody That I Used To Know, Royals or Crazy by Gnarls Barkley.

I feel like the whole Dance Monkey only being B list thing is really being made into a more dramatic thing than it is. If Radio 1 had a problem with it, it wouldn't be on the playlist at all. It still gets played two or three times a day!

Seems that both coldplay tracks was playlisted!

Yep. Can't really see them playing that much of Arabesque though...

A song on the A-list gets 25 plays a week, 13 for a B-list song and 8 for C-list. At least that's what it used to be, I'm not sure if that's still the case.

 

I know but I think there's some as there is some flexibility here. There are some B List tracks that get as many as 20 spins and some A Listers get as low as this (and as high as 30 plays). Usually around impact dates etc!
