March 12, 20215 yr So ‘Teenage Dirtbag’ was only C Listed on radio 1 at the time Jim?? Yep... then their follow-up (A Little Respect) was B-listed and the one after that (Leroy) was A-listed, with their chart returns going the other way, naturally :lol:
March 12, 20215 yr Author Yep... then their follow-up (A Little Respect) was B-listed and the one after that (Leroy) was A-listed, with their chart returns going the other way, naturally :lol: Is that from memory or do you have access to those playlists?
March 12, 20215 yr Is that from memory or do you have access to those playlists? All from memory sadly, I followed them most weeks from mid-2000 to sometime in 2003.
March 12, 20215 yr Great to see Ben Howard still getting Radio 1 backing (he seems like the type that could suddenly be considered a Radio 2 artist at a moment's notice so happy that he is still R1 relevant for at least one more era), some pretty good adds from Moses Boyd and serpentwithfeet as well (the latter not an artist I expected to see pop up here :o) Drake being added only on the C-List even with it being delayed a week seems a little uncharacteristic - I guess it's possibly in reaction to the song not being the instant huge #1 that it may have been expected to be(?) or perhaps to do with it technically just for now being the focus track of his EP rather than being promoted as a single from his album (though I'd be shocked if it wasn't included on the album like what happened with 'God's Plan'). Rather surprised at Silk Sonic still not being playlisted as well? R1 have shown plenty of support to Anderson .Paak before so I'd have expected them to be all over his most commercial release to date! Happy to see Cardi B making the A-List and Welshy surprisingly escaping C-List stalling! And great to see Shygirl on the Introducing spot as well, not my favourite song from her but I'll take any appearance.
March 12, 20215 yr Great to see Maisie added! Also surprised but happy to see Jorja B-listed already.
March 12, 20215 yr Kinda surprised at Architects being A-listed, seen as they haven't progressed beyond the C-list before. Then again they also hadn't had a top 10 album before until hitting #1 last week... :kink:
March 12, 20215 yr All from memory sadly, I followed them most weeks from mid-2000 to sometime in 2003. So did I but couldnt remember that about Wheatus, pretty ridiculous like considering their two biggest hits were only C-B Listed. And 'Teenage Dirtbag' is consider a classic of that new wave metal sort genre from the era.

March 12, 20215 yr Wheatus? Metal?? :huh: Enduring a listen of 'Teenage Dirtbag' is about the same level of pain as screamed metal vocals x
March 12, 20215 yr Well like bands of the same vain of the time like Blink 182 and Sum 41 and the likes, whatever you call them! Edited March 12, 20215 yr by steve201
March 12, 20215 yr Yep... then their follow-up (A Little Respect) was B-listed and the one after that (Leroy) was A-listed, with their chart returns going the other way, naturally :lol: I forgot they covered that Erasure song. Listened to their cover again and it's a good cover I think.
March 12, 20215 yr Well like bands of the same vain of the time like Blink 182 and Sum 41 and the likes, whatever you call them! Pop punk :P (Sum 41 are actually metal nowadays though)
March 12, 20215 yr All from memory sadly, I followed them most weeks from mid-2000 to sometime in 2003. I just checked my Radio 1 Playlists archive, and you're right. "Teenage Dirtbag" was only C-listed, for an incredible 6 weeks. Then "A Little Respect" got B-listed and "Leroy" A-listed. Nice memory you have!

Do you have how long Whole Again spent on the C-list?
March 12, 20215 yr Guess it stuck in my mind as if those later singles were getting the plays they thought Teenage Dirtbag deserved. Do you have how long Whole Again spent on the C-list? "Whole Again" spent 4 weeks on the C-list. They preferred hammering Sugababes' "Run For Cover" which got A-listed instead. Can't complain since I love that song.
March 13, 20215 yr Suppose Sugababes were always the more urban and cool pop band compared to Atomic Kitten!
March 13, 20215 yr Suppose Sugababes were always the more urban and cool pop band compared to Atomic Kitten! They were radio darlings for sure.
March 14, 20215 yr They made a lot better songs though looking back, ‘Whole Again’ being by far their best song. Strange it was only c-listed considering it was a 4 week chart topper!
March 16, 20215 yr Some Tunes of the Week: Greg James: Jorja Smith - Addicted Clara Amfo: Remi Wolf & Dominic Fike - Photo ID Nick Grimshaw: Origin8a & Propa - Harmony (feat. Benny Page) I don't know Scott's as I don't listen to his show, and I can't tell from the tracklist on the BBC Sounds app.
