October 2, 20206 yr Not overwhelmed with the adds this week - have checked them all out on (insert streaming service here). Think I said before that songs feel bigger when I've heard them on daytime radio (if I don't they feel like b-sides or album tracks - if I like a track I'm more likely to start loving it when it feels 'big' and communal) but now Capital Dance is in my life lots of dance tracks R1 don't bother with outside of the specialist shows are about to seem huge! I'm normally 80/20 between Radio 1 and 2 but this is looking like a gamechanger, hope they actually publish their new music playlist. Might be a bit crappy when the ads inevitably come in though. Wish Tap In, Kyoto and yes even Model Village weren't stalling. You really have to be in the right place at the right time to hear these C-C-C-OUT tracks, and once they're gone you'll never hear them on daytime R1 ever again! Quick question - do you hear many B-list stallers on there once they're gone? I've only heard a very small number of things played as recurrents, which tend to be things that were on the A-list for a thousand years. Maybe someone could make a comprehensive list of massive hits the station played reluctantly, like WAP, Savage Love, Dance Monkey and Cheerleader (whOooOoOO). Also, this 'what's a proper single' thing. Someone said today they couldn't tell the difference between Sia's promotional and proper singles. This is especially true of dance acts who are constantly chucking low-key stuff out there. Everything was so much easier when a single was a single and almost everything of note was a Top 40 hit, but there's no going back! Edited October 3, 20206 yr by HiyaLuv
October 4, 20206 yr I am surprised but glad that Jerusalema has been added to the playlist, lovely song with an emotive vocal like the Paul Woolford track. Also reminds me a bit of Cheerleader which was mentioned in the previous post.
