Really good to see Radio 1 and Radio 2 playlisting the same tracks on their A List this week, shows the crossover appeal of the tracks.

 

Great tracks from The Zutons (it's as though they never went away!) and Bananarama (what a huge synthy and catchy smash).

Great to see the support for Delta Goodrem, I'm really enjoying this 80s inspired sound she's got going on right now!

Must check out some of her other recent stuff then as this new one is really good

'Back To Your Heart' is the other 80s inspired one from last year.

Tracking back through the posts they playlisted it but I wasn't really listening then (only posting the updates). Listened to it earlier and it's equally as good. The change in direction suits her

Did not expect Lighter to be an A List add, let alone being Record of the Week, so was pleasantly surprised when Vernon Kay announced that earlier! It's definitely Heartbreak Anthem Lite and the more I hear it the more I enjoy it, despite it being a blatent rip off of the Little Mix collab but who are we to judge Galantis/Guetta as they'll never change :kink:

 

Jalen Ngonda making his first appearance on the A List and straight away too! Everything previously has been a C List add but it does seem that R2 love his music.

 

Great adds for Ariana and Serena on the B List and it's also great that the former's album is the Album of the Week the week it's released which will help with its exposure (a reminder here that AOTW means one song will be played on Phil/OJ's show and one song on Vernon's show Mon-Fri).

 

Shaznay Lewis making a very rare C-B-A move is wonderful. I've really grown to love the track recently!

 

I did wonder if YG Marley would make an eventual appearance as the track has had some spot plays over recent weeks. Can't say I've warmed to it at all so I'm not adverse to it being on the C List if that's where it'll stay ;)

I’m surprised Marley is on R2 at all tbh but nice to see!

 

Must check the Jalen song out!

Heard it this morning and thought it was an unknown track from the 60s before it was confirmed it was Illusions. Rather different but it's good

Sounds like something I’d like!

So neither R1 or R2 supporting Kings of Leon this time around?? Surprised.

Jo Whiley has played their new track on her evening show on Radio 2 as has The Rock Show too so it's there just not on the main playlist.

There’s still time to add it. If not, then maybe R2 will go for the next single. R1 are done with them as they didn’t support their last era.
The album isn’t out til 10/5 so plenty of time to add a single!
