May 19, 20232 yr Author This is gonna screw up the continuity of the playlists on my spreadsheet, I'll need to figure out how to enter this week on it!
May 19, 20232 yr Royal Blood are releasing a new song next week, so I assume that’ll replace ‘Typhoons’ here!
May 19, 20232 yr This is gonna screw up the continuity of the playlists on my spreadsheet, I'll need to figure out how to enter this week on it! Best thing to do is not bother logging them and roll last weeks playlist over to the next time they update the playlist. It is strange and being a part of public funded organisation, I'm not sure they should exclude artists from being playlisted because they are not playing the Big Weekend. :(
May 19, 20232 yr So they playlisted Virgo’s Groove, bumped it from C-List to A-List, only to take it off (albeit temporarily) the week the tour is actually in Britain? :huh: Edited May 19, 20232 yr by No Sleeep
May 19, 20232 yr can't believe they went to this length to avoid playlisting eurovision songs smh Eurovision is much too cool for them to want to be associated with it :P

May 19, 20232 yr Horrible playlist, most of the songs in there are just being playlisted because they think the artists who perform them are “cool”… I can’t believe they totally avoided Eurovision just because Loreen is 40 and doesn’t fit their criteria… And also ignoring Kylie’s new banger “Padam Padam” just further proves their ageism…

May 19, 20232 yr I wish they'd playlisted Overcome by Nothing But Thieves instead. I wonder if they will use this to just drop a bunch of songs off the playlist when they go back to normal and keep some of these instead. Pleased we get to hear more of LF System - as Dancing Shoes is a banger - and also It's Euphoric by Georgia.
May 19, 20232 yr I can’t believe they totally avoided Eurovision just because Loreen is 40 and doesn’t fit their criteria… But they've not totally avoided Eurovision. They've playlisted Mae Muller and some of Sam Ryder's tracks have been supported over the past year including 'Spaceman'.
May 19, 20232 yr But they've not totally avoided Eurovision. They've playlisted Mae Muller and some of Sam Ryder's tracks have been supported over the past year including 'Spaceman'. Maneskin's winning entry was playlisted the year they won Eurovision. Also, I don't think Tattoo sounds Radio 1 friendly either way. Edited May 19, 20232 yr by zenon
May 19, 20232 yr I don't think R1 playlisted Måneskin's winning song 'ZITTI E BUONI' but they did playlist their English language follow-up 'I WANNA BE YOUR SLAVE'

May 19, 20232 yr Also, I don't think Tattoo sounds Radio 1 friendly either way. Define "Radio 1 friendly"
May 19, 20232 yr I can't tell if people are actually being serious thinking this playlist decision has anything to do with Eurovision or "ageism". I think it makes sense that they're dropping the pretense of caring about anything other than the Big Weekend during this week.
May 25, 20232 yr From what I’ve heard and by looking through the BBC Sounds track listings, here are the songs that I think are getting A-list plays this week: The 1975 - Oh Caroline Arlo Parks - Blades Becky Hill & Lewis Thompson - Side Effects Jamie xx - LET'S DO IT AGAIN Jess Glynne - Silly Me Jonas Brothers - Waffle House Lewis Capaldi - Wish You The Best Niall Horan - Meltdown Nothing But Thieves - Welcome to the DCC RAYE - Flip A Switch Rudimental feat. Charlotte Plank & Vibe Chemistry - Dancing is Healing Sub Focus feat. AR/CO - Vibration (One More Time) Tom Grennan - How Does It Feel Wet Leg - Being In Love That makes 14 songs, rather than the usual 15, so there may be one more - Anne-Marie most likely. I think the rest of the tracks are effectively on the B-list but I’m not entirely sure.
