August 28, 20205 yr Author New additions are a bit thin on the ground this week but I'm really happy to see BLOXX finally being supported, as I've been a fan of them for a while now! I'm flabbergasted not to see Clean Bandit though :o kinda surprised they didn't add 24kGoldn too, but I guess it wouldn't have been on the verge of the Top 10 on Tuesday when they had the playlist meeting. Also why no Biffy Clyro, Sub Focus/Wilkinson, Bastille? :(
August 28, 20205 yr Love that Biig Pig song :wub: and oh wow my Nuggets entrants BLOXX moving up in the world *.*
August 28, 20205 yr Surprised that James Bay has been taken off after only 3 weeks on the C List. A shame for him because it was a good song too. Looking at the playlist runs, they were a bit limited really with what they could remove and add because the only song on there that I think has had too long is Anne Marie and Doja Cat. I’d be very surprised if London Grammar aren’t added next week, along with The Vamps and Raye, as all 3 of them have been played lots this last week. Finally, nice to see BTS on there, as well as Koffee. Haven’t heard Bloxx or Biig Piig’s new songs yet but it’s nice to see some newer artists added to the main playlist.
August 28, 20205 yr So sad James Bay hasn't done anything, easily his best yet and it sounds like such a massive song. :cry:
August 28, 20205 yr Author So sad James Bay hasn't done anything, easily his best yet and it sounds like such a massive song. :cry: Yeah I completely agree. R1 have always been big supporters of him too, which makes it all the more surprising that a new lead single got such limited support :unsure:
August 28, 20205 yr Author So next week: London Grammar The Vamps RAYE Clean Bandit Bastille Biffy Clyro Sub Focus/Wilkinson 24KGoldn They've got no excuse not to playlist any of those. Now watch them just add one of them...
August 28, 20205 yr So sad James Bay hasn't done anything, easily his best yet and it sounds like such a massive song. :cry: It's odd, it does sound huge, I thought it might be a bit of a surprise big comeback hit like James Arthur's Say You Won't Let Go. But Spotify haven't supported it and the radio stations that have added it have it low or now removed from playlists. It's a weird one because I'm sure if it had been the follow up to Hold Back The River it would have been a massive top five and radio staple, I guess timing is everything. No matter how strong a song is, you can't get a hit if nobody knows it.

No matter how strong a song is, you can't get a hit if nobody knows it. But I can't even explain why Spotify or radio haven't got behind it because as you say it sounds massive and it's that big radio-friendly singer/songwriter sound which usually gets lapped up. It is really odd - easily one of the most shocking flops of the year for me.

Her songs really are not worth multiple weeks on the A List imo!
August 28, 20205 yr Author Wish radio would give up on Anne-Marie like they have James Bay. Her songs really are not worth multiple weeks on the A List imo! Yeah, this era is a real step down from the likes of 'Alarm' and 'Ciao Adios' - I'm actually starting to get the Buzzjack hate for her! Tbh if she keeps putting out sub-standard stuff like this then I'm sure she'll start to alienate even R1 pretty soon.
August 28, 20205 yr AM has always been Jessie J II with a shorter shelf life. Edited August 28, 20205 yr by HiyaLuv
August 28, 20205 yr Yeah I completely agree. R1 have always been big supporters of him too, which makes it all the more surprising that a new lead single got such limited support :unsure: I'm guessing the fact his second era was a pretty gigantic flop may have hindered him, it was always gonna be an uphill struggle after that. If only he'd came back with this song last time!
August 28, 20205 yr How is that Anne Marie flop still on the A-list? :lol: #194 on iTunes and #270 on Apple Music.
August 28, 20205 yr What’s the longest song to stay on the C List (with or without progressing to B or A Llst)?
August 28, 20205 yr Author What’s the longest song to stay on the C List (with or without progressing to B or A Llst)? Since I started tracking the playlist in 2012, it's 'Fake Happy' by Paramore, which was added on 22nd Dec 2017 and spent 7 weeks on the C-list before being removed.

August 28, 20205 yr What’s the longest song to stay on the C List (with or without progressing to B or A Llst)? M4NGO will know for sure but I think a couple of years ago a Paramore song stayed on there for 8 weeks!!
August 28, 20205 yr Still no Clean Bandit. Wish they’d remove Anne-Marie in place of CB seeing as the former is doing nothing at the moment
August 28, 20205 yr Author M4NGO will know for sure but I think a couple of years ago a Paramore song stayed on there for 8 weeks!! Nice memory! I would never know things like that without consulting my spreadsheet :blink:
