April 3, 20206 yr I haven't heard Drake song yet (based on comments seems like it samples Cha Cha Slide - another song I really don't like lol so double reason now to insta dislike the song) but adding straight to A list, pulling big spotify numbers and debuting at #1 is as big as it can get, so I don't understand comments people saying it won't be as big!!!

There is no sample, the only similarity is both tracks have the word Slide in and is about a dance move.

April 3, 20206 yr Well 'Just A Little More' was his first Top 20 hit in 2001 and I imagine that would have been playlisted. If not then maybe 'Love Don't Let Me Go' in 2002. States 'Just a Little More Love' was released in france in July 2001 and in the UK charted in 2003? he def tried to release 'Love Don't Let Me Go' twice but not sure if radio 1 would have supported it earlier than that and it just didn't chart?
April 3, 20206 yr Wow, first Kim Petras and now Rina Sawayama, Radio 1 coming out of nowhere to suddenly support all of the Internet gay faves! I've not really been able to get into much of what Rina has put out but 'XS' is one of her better songs, definitely like it more than 'Reminds Me' as well ~ Mostly decent adds this week but nothing that I really love (though not heard the Drake and Skepta & friends tracks yet - a little odd to see 'Golden Brown' playlisted instead of 'Waze'! The latter song sounded pretty much exactly as I expected, a potentially pretty good song ruined by Young Adz being Young Adz). Also didn't realise that LA Priest was a member of Late Of The Pier, quite enjoyed his song when I listened to it last week, suitably quirky ~ It'll be a bit of a shame if this is the point R1 stop supporting The Killers as 'Caution' is their best single for quite a while but wouldn't be too surprising. Here's hoping it just has a late impact date though.
April 3, 20206 yr Justin Timberlake isn’t it? Especially if you include NSYNC as part of that. He’ll have been on the playlist since the 90’s! Correct. "I Want You Back" was playlisted, but unfortunately I dont have access to complete playlists until the 00s. However, I can confirm he's gotten playlisted since 1999 at least. Well 'Just A Little More' was his first Top 20 hit in 2001 and I imagine that would have been playlisted. If not then maybe 'Love Don't Let Me Go' in 2002. "Just A Little More Love" wasn't playlisted in 2001, only in it's re-release in 2003. However his first playlist was the original version of "Love Don't Let Me Go", that got A-listed in 2002.
