June 26, 20205 yr Author Black Parade is a proper single then? And even if it is, does it really warrant an A-list add just from her name alone? It's not like it's setting the charts alight either. I know it's tune of the weekend but don't know why they're waiting to playlist 'Savage Love' when it's already clear that it's going to be huge. Maybe they'll add it straight to A-list next week - especially if it's looking like being number one. It doesn't look like they'll be adding Sia, despite her being tune of the weekend a couple of weeks ago :( No Celeste either? Her new song has been out for a few weeks now and I thought they'd be fully behind it from the get go. Great to see Ella Henderson back on the playlist though :) Edited June 26, 20205 yr by M4NGO
June 26, 20205 yr great they added Ella Henderson weird they didn't add Derulo though the Beyonce song was pushed like crazy on Spotify since its release day but no one is streaming it for some reason...
June 26, 20205 yr Still at only 11 tracks on the c list! Wonder if they’ll ever bother going back up to 12? Also surprised that bring me the horizon weren’t insta - added, aren’t they normally added straight away? Happy for Ella Henderson though, and I prefer The Streets’ track to the one they did with Tame Impala so I’m glad to see them on there.

No idea why they've dropped one though! BMTH have been insta-added a couple of times but it's not always guaranteed. I prefer this Streets track too, it's good to see them still being supported after all these years.
June 26, 20205 yr Pleased for Ella. Should make a big difference. I wouldn’t be surprised if it ends up doing very well.
June 26, 20205 yr I’ve got a feeling Savage Love is not quite to Radio 1’s taste so they’ll begrudging playlist it and only ever move it up to the B-list akin to Dance Monkey last year. I do like the song though.

I do like the song though. I’ve think the same actually! They never seem to really like songs that aren’t quite ‘cool’ enough for them. It’s why I’m quite surprised that Niko B has been playlisted too.
June 26, 20205 yr Wow @ Ella. It feels like she's now managing to pull off the comeback, good on her.
June 26, 20205 yr Ella getting the R1 playlisting alongside how well she’s performing on AM, iTunes and Spotify... I can actually see this becoming a bit of a hit! hopefully another Top 20 under her belt.
June 26, 20205 yr Radio 1 does add some non proper single to their list time to time. like Formation was added back in 2016 Feb. they obviously did it because of current issue + her name value. I don't see it last long.

I do like the song though. Yeah I thought the exact same thing too, I reckon it's going to be this year's 'Dance Monkey'. Also noteworthy is that this is the first time they've playlisted Inhaler (I thought they'd done so before but I checked and they haven't). I don't know how much of their hype is down to the fact that the lead singer is Bono from U2's son but they seem to have quite a big following. Edited June 26, 20205 yr by M4NGO

I don't know how much of their hype is down to the fact that the lead singer is Bono from U2's son but they seem to have quite a big following. They have some older ones from the U2 connection, but you can't get such a large young fanbase from that alone (as some other artists have found :lol:). They've had support slots for Blossoms and Courteeners which have helped as well.

I think Nike B is a lot younger than Jason and is seen as cooler; something fresh and different. I really like the Niko B track as a matter of fact. I think Jason Derulo isn’t Radio 1’s cup of tea and it will take a mega hit, like Savage Love, for them to playlist him at all.
June 26, 20205 yr They should’ve added CamelPhat or Becky Hill and removed Megan Thee Stallion Edited June 26, 20205 yr by Hadji
June 26, 20205 yr Surprised to see Beyoncé instant A-Listed, this release feels like it's been kind of a non-event - song is pretty boring as well imo. (I guess it's intended more to just be a statement than a hit single though, appreciate the meaning behind it of course, just don't think it's up to much as an actual song) Cool to see The Streets added again but this song isn't as good as 'Call My Phone Thinking I'm Doing Nothing Better', not bad though. That's probably the only addition that's of any interest at all to me this week.
June 26, 20205 yr They should’ve added CamelPhat or Becky Hill and remove Megan Thee Stallion Here we go
June 27, 20205 yr Take this annoying song from Megan/B out of the playlist, enough is enough. Also, why put on this new Beyoncé song straight into the A-list playlist, when this song didn't even make it into the Top 40, even though it was supported by playlists? People clearly don't care for this boring song. :rolleyes: Put on 'Savage Love', which will be a real hit. :angel:
