June 1, 20223 yr Author Early playlist courtesy of Piri & Tommy's instagram! Sam Ryder being booted off after just 2 weeks on the A-list proves that they only begrudgingly playlisted it - at least they did though I guess. I'm just SHOOOOK at Diplo now being A-listed after 11 weeks on the B-list :o that's just mental! How many weeks are they now going to A-list it for?! And more importantly... WHY?? It's just so bizarre, I don't get it. Must be coming for R1's most played song of 2022. It's disappointing how quickly they'll add the new Mimi Webb single but carry on sitting on Maisie Peters and Ava Max :(
June 1, 20223 yr RINA :wub: I'm sure it'll still do nothing, when it deserves THE WORLD, but glad to see she's still getting support.
June 1, 20223 yr Oh no @ Sam, makes me more concerned about support for the follow up single. I guess it still did better than I’d originally expected, I’d never have though it would even reach the A-list.
June 1, 20223 yr Lmao at Diplo only now being A-Listed. Must already have one of the longest runs on the playlist ever and it's now surely bound to be A-Listed for at least a couple more weeks! Good to see Foals and Chase And Status moving up. The BBC Introducing song being a song that has already charted though, for the third time this year (following CRAWLERS and Cat Burns) :drama: Sam Ryder being dropped this soon is a bit of a shame but still, they weren't obliged to playlist it at all let alone A-List, will take the small victories on a normally Eurovision phobic playlist!
June 1, 20223 yr I'm loving Diplo refusing to leave the playlist :lol: Great to see Foals climbing along with continued support for Dermot!
June 1, 20223 yr If it was because they were reluctant to playlist it, it was more because of the Eurovision tag rather than Sam himself as Radio 1 generally seemed to be fans of Sam. Could be that the contest was weeks ago now so they could just be moving on I think. Still he's done extremely well on there. Can't see Ava getting support unless it picks up somehow.
June 1, 20223 yr Diplo is apparently the 12th most played track so far this year. George Ezra - Anyone For You is the current reigning champion. That said, if Diplo stays for a few more weeks it could possibly be in contention for it. 14 weeks is an astonishing playlist run.
June 1, 20223 yr Author 14 and counting! Can you post a list of the top 20 most played tracks Lewis? Would be interesting to see. Edited June 1, 20223 yr by Mangø
June 1, 20223 yr 'This Hell' isn't a Rina classic for me but still enjoyable - happy to see the support for her!
June 1, 20223 yr What is the longest EVER run for a song? Could it even have a chance at beating that??
June 1, 20223 yr Can you post a list of the top 20 most played tracks Lewis? Would be interesting to see.

June 1, 20223 yr Absolutely baffling that Diplo gets moved up now! Regarding Sam Ryder, most of the songs on the A-List have only been on the playlist a short amount of time so whoever was removed it would feel a little soon (it’s a shame to see Disclosure gone for example). Plus with the song strongly associated with Eurovision, I could see why they wouldn’t want to keep it on for weeks after the event.
June 2, 20223 yr Author Thanks Lewis, that's an interesting list. Assuming A-list songs get 25 spins a week, George Ezra got 275 'playlist plays' i.e. plays while it was on the playlist, so only a further 20 outside of that. By the same metric 'Peru' only got 196 playlist spins, so a further 83 outside of that, showing just how much they're continuing to hammer it!
June 2, 20223 yr Author What is the longest EVER run for a song? Could it even have a chance at beating that?? Since I've been tracking the playlist in 2012 it's Drake's 'One Dance' which spent 15 weeks on the playlist (14 of them on the A-list). A handful of songs were playlisted for 14 weeks (Rockstar, Sing, Human, Somebody That I Used To Know) which Diplo is now tied with. So yes it's very probable that he'll overtake Drake in a couple of weeks as the longest ever R1 playlist run - in the last decade at least! At least all those others were huge hits though, this has only just scraped the Top 40, which makes its long run all the more baffling :unsure: Edited June 2, 20223 yr by Mangø
June 2, 20223 yr It didn't make the top 40 until quite a while into its run on the playlist so that might partially explain it but yes it's certainly a curious outlier!
