I really thought they would have added Everybody Dance this week after it was featured in the BBC New Year's video with Radio 1 DJs singing along.

Omg come on Rina!!! I hope that means she'll get support from other radio stations and "Lucid" can manage to chart. :snif:

I think the order of those two events would need to be the other way round :P

But doesn't Radio 1 playlisting also make it more likely to get played on other smaller stations as some take note of their playlisting? Either way, come on Rina! :D

This is the second time R1 have playlisted her (they playlisted 'XS' as well). That was just C-Listed for 3 weeks though, guess we'll see if she gets any higher this time ~

 

For some reason I’m certain it’ll be A-listed, sounds like a big pop sound and radio 1 like an artist like her who gives them a big pop song to push!

Tune of the Week w/c 11/01/21

Arielle Free: London Grammar - Lose Your Head

Greg James: Arlo Parks - Caroline

Clara Amfo: SZA - Good Days

Scott Mills: Tiësto - The Business

Nick Grimshaw: Obskür - Bayside

It was SZA's Good Days!

Not sure why Greg has picked Arlo Parks for his Tune of the Week this week when it’s been on the playlist for the last 2 weeks! Nice to see Tiesto and London Grammar’s new ones being supported though.

It was SZA's Good Days!

 

Thank you!

Yeah, I thought that might be the case. But unfortunately I don't think we'll ever know what last week's playlist looked like if it wasn't published and we can't guess a whole playlist so we'll just have to go with this! (unless anyone fancies going through each track on the playlist and finding out how many times it was played last week - and I'm not gonna do that :lol:)

 

Just done that for the Bieber and Ed songs -

 

25/12/20 - 31/12/20

 

‘Afterglow’ 3 plays

‘Lonely’ 0 plays

 

But the normal shows were nearly all replaced by anthems shows so there was literally no playlist songs played so was nearly like a void week.

 

1/1/21 - 7/1/21

 

‘Afterglow’ 17 plays

‘Anyone’ 12 plays

 

This week 8/1/21-14/1/21

 

‘Afterglow’ 21 plays

‘Anyone’ 23 plays

 

So it would suggest that ‘Anyone’ was either A or B listed instantly unless ‘Anyone’ was a tune of the week and garnered extra plays through that.
