Today at 2pm there’s a chart of the 40 most played tracks from 2010-2019 on Radio 2 hosted by Scott Mills. Compiled by PPL, this chart focuses on plays across radio, TV, cinemas, clubs, pubs, gyms, restaurants etc.

 

This chart was last compiled 10 years ago with Snow Patrol’s Chasing Cars coming out on top. Could it appear again?

 

I’ll reveal the Top 40 in turn with a post of the song, its video and where it peaked in the actual singles chart.

 

Feel free to listen along and join in with your thoughts and comments from 2-5pm ^_^

 

 

What do you think will be #1 this time around?

 

(If anyone has access to or has seen the chart already then no spoilers please as it is already out there)

Intrigued to see how similar it looks to the sales/streaming EOD.

 

I'm gonna take a guess that Happy will be #1 but I don't pay close attention to the airplay chart so I could be well off.

 

Starts at 2pm by the way.

I’m going to guess Uptown Funk, however I might be way off. Maybe an Adele song, Rolling in the Deep or Someone Like You?

It's definitely Chasing Cars. Last July it was revealed as the most played song of the century, nearly a decade after being named the most played of the 2000s.

That either means:

 

1. It was played so much between 2006 and 2009 that even all the 2010s hits couldn't catch up

 

or

 

2. It continued to played so often post-2009 that it outperformed all the other songs

surely most of Chasing Cars radio plays would’ve been pre 2010? can’t see that being in this chart myself.

Nearly time folks! This'll get going after the news. Those who don't frequent listening to Radio 2, there'll be a news bulletin on the hour (if they have decided to keep them in).

I'd guess Happy, but Ed Sheeran should feature a lot near the top and also Rather Be.

 

Hold My Hand just scraped into the EOD Top 100 but it wouldn't surprise me if it were top 40 here.

starting off with a song not even from the previous decade lmao

perhaps Chasing Cars will be high up then.

Torn at #40 for 2010-2019? Really? Is this just from Scott's personal last.fm or? :lol:

Edited by diva thin muffin

so that's the oldest song in the chart and the most played of the 90s

 

extra:

41 king

44 blurred lines

45 we found love

46 don't be so hard on yourself

48 hold my hand

49 don't stop believing

50 thinking out loud

Surely Shape Of You will be really high on this list? And obviously a couple more Ed Sheeran tracks.
