February 22, 20215 yr Some very niche choices this week. All seem like they’d be much more suited to the evening shows (other than Scott’s choice.) In good news though, Jessie Ware’s new single has had quite a few spot plays over the last few days so fingers crossed that gets a playlist add soon!
February 22, 20215 yr Has any other tracks from Jessie Wares current album made it to the daytime playlist? Like the track of the weeks, especially seeing Katy B and Mahalia back with new songs!
February 22, 20215 yr Author Has any other tracks from Jessie Wares current album made it to the daytime playlist? Sadly not. She hasn't been playlisted since 'Thinking About You' in 2018 :( I'd love them to do an about turn on her but I just can't see it.
February 22, 20215 yr Yeh was thinking she’s firmly a radio 2 artist now and didn’t think she was supported but I guess it’s nice to see some spot plays.
February 23, 20215 yr Some very niche choices this week. All seem like they’d be much more suited to the evening shows (other than Scott’s choice.) Scott's song is the only one that doesn't have any artists who have made the UK singles chart on it... :lol:
February 23, 20215 yr Scott's song is the only one that doesn't have any artists who have made the UK singles chart on it... :lol: Haha yeah I know! I really meant the type of songs they are, Scott’s tune sounds a typical commercial dance songs whilst the others are more songs I would usually associate with R1 evenings! 😂
February 23, 20215 yr Was good to hear Remember Where You Are on Annie Mac last night. Still think sending Jessie Ware to Radio 2 only was really premature. And she seems bigger than ever now too! Would be great to see this playlisted even though I can't see it happening. Would be kind of ironic as it's the most seventies-sounding/R2-friendly of all her recent singles. It's ridiculous that things like Save A Kiss didn't get on, although that also got spot plays.
February 23, 20215 yr Still think sending Jessie Ware to Radio 2 only was really premature. I feel like we all really need to work together in tweeting Radio 1 asking what their fascination is with sending female artists to Radio 2 much quicker than male, or just not playlisting really any over the age of 30. :lol:
February 23, 20215 yr They've played the Georgia remix of What's Your Pleasure? a few times on Annie's show (I specifically remember them playing it on their Christmas party show) but I agree she should have been properly playlisted. This is Radio 1 though - anything could happen :lol:
February 23, 20215 yr As far as I'm aware, the evening DJs are very much *in control* of what they play during those 2 hours so you're more likely to hear stuff they enjoy rather than what the producer wants you to hear. I still think they're perhaps not quite done with Jessie and they'll playlist her
February 23, 20215 yr Yeah, Jack Saunders has said on his Discord channel he has a lot of involvement in what's played (and unsurprisingly that he had none on Radio X :lol:)
February 23, 20215 yr Capital have playlisted Bang Bang so Radio 1 may get on board with it too. I really like Bang Bang because its a great tune but would prefer them not to playlist it because of the Rita controversy at this time when we are still in lockdown. I think they are unlikely to playlist it anyway as on top of the Rita controversy I noticed something else with radio 1 playlisting dance music. They only tend to playlist a lot of the more big name or commercial dance tunes once they make the UK top 40 chart these days, and instead playlist a few more obscure dance and less commercial tunes. OK I know Nile Rodgers is a big name but that SG Lewis song he is on is not one of the more commercial sounding dance tunes imo. Edited February 23, 20215 yr by Coldman

It's also worth checking out the Radio 1 Dance shows (the 4am ones), they give an indication of something they're going to playlist too tbh
February 24, 20215 yr If Jessie Ware is still regarded as cool and credible enough for nighttime play and her music is suitable for mainstream daytime radio, she should still have proper R1 support. Can't think of many other R2-only acts that still get on specialist shows. They should admit they've made a huge mistake and put her recent singles into recurrents for the next five years. :D Edited February 24, 20215 yr by HiyaLuv!
February 24, 20215 yr A couple of additional tunes of the week, if anyone is interested: Annie Mac: Deb Never - Someone Else Jack Saunders: Will Joseph Cook - Be Around Me feat. Chloe Moriondo
