July 2, 20205 yr Author its weird that radio 2 decided to remove Jessie Ware’s Save a kiss from its playlist during album release week... As it always crops up, I’ll mention it again haha It is normal for the large majority of their tracks to get 4-6 weeks on the playlist, 5 weeks is the most common at the moment. It’s not weird for them, she may be your favourite artist right now, but they’re just following their playlist rules. The playlist is smaller than the other BBC stations so they’re going to clear out more often. The odd song, rarely, gets more than 5 weeks but they’re usually the (sorry to say it) more popular/commercially successful tracks. Save A Kiss will be played until Friday afternoon so they won’t have dumped it on album release week as the new list doesn’t start until Saturday.
July 3, 20205 yr Author The Killers are ROTW on Radio 2 from Monday ^_^ and Paul Weller has the album spot

It's extremely unhelpful that they play a song for a few weeks and just as it starts to be having an effect, they drop it. If they stuck with some of the songs for longer they could really give certain artists a real boost. Edited July 5, 20205 yr by AcerBen

If they stuck with some of the songs for longer they could really give certain artists a real boost. I remember reading somewhere that they refresh it so often to prevent listeners from getting bored of hearing the same tracks throughout the day. Maybe if they expanded the playlist, longer runs would work... but then would we really want 11 weeks of Erasure for instance :unsure:

July 15, 20205 yr 'Smile' is definitely an official single then. Why though? It's just... crap, and it isn't exactly gonna help her career at his juncture.
July 15, 20205 yr From memory they’ve not supported her since Lush Life :kink: They supported every single recently! Like It Is was snubbed
July 15, 20205 yr Author They supported every single recently! Like It Is was snubbed I’m talking about Radio 2 as that’s what’s just been posted, you clearly are not :lol:
July 15, 20205 yr Was Like It Is actually even sent to radio? Seems like Lose Somebody was the Kygo track that actually got pushed.
