February 18, 20206 yr How many went in 2016/17? Is there any pattern as to the acts that are instant A-Listed? For example has Sam Smith went from instant A to instant B listing?
February 18, 20206 yr Author How many went in 2016/17? Is there any pattern as to the acts that are instant A-Listed? For example has Sam Smith went from instant A to instant B listing? 2019 - 43 2018 - 11 2017 - 18 2016 - 10 2015 - 1 (Hello) 2014 - 0 2013 - 0 2012 - 1 (Skrillex) Can't see any obvious patterns.

February 18, 20206 yr Thanks doesn't look like it just the major artists of the time are usually A Listed with the first single. Clearly radio 1 have changed their methods since streaming & oaos have become the norm. I assume this is what it was like before held back releases in the 1980s.
February 18, 20206 yr Skrillex a trend setter *.* Breakn A Sweat going A List was mad! But iirc R1 had it in some advert to promote Zane Lowe. Fearne Cotton had Antidote I think. GDrmDaT1u_8
February 18, 20206 yr Yeh I remember this, Skrillex was huge for like 1 and a half albums. I remember Eminem Without Me was instant A-Listed back in 2002 if memory serves me right which at the time was a strange one!
