Making room for her cover of ‘Forever Young’. Radio 2 go big on Xmas songs so I imagine they’ll playlist them starting next Friday

 

I hope there are some remixes of that! Considering the only version it's been a hit here were the dance covers by Interactive it should work!

Surprised Radio 2 aren’t playing any of Kylie’s new songs.

 

They have playlisted Say Something and Magic. Her album was also played throughout this week just gone.

I'm sure they'll push a couple of more 'singles' from the album in the new year. 'Real Groove' if they've got any sense!

I expect the next single will be added early next month, they are usually quick off the mark and Kylie will want to have more airplay around Christmas to boast sales.

Ariana is one of two(?) songs to make a C-B-A progression this year, which is shocking how static their playlist can be sometimes.

 

Nice to see Miley/Dua added too!

Yeh I thought it doesn’t happen often, songs generally enter and stick to the same level of rotation. Kinda think radio 1 should be more like that as certain artists are always going to be A-List artists and chart high up automatically. They do it a bit with Billie Eilish and the likes.

 

Pretty disappointing playlist this week, was thinking they might start the seasonal adds but must be waiting until next week.

so weird Prisoner was not added to R1 but added to R2
I'm sure its A listed on radio1 + tune of the weekend
I think the guys are right when they say in the other thread she is on the A List but we will see from Monday if it gets spins
Radio 2 never update until a Saturday now for some reason1

Good Christmas influx but gutted Becky isn’t on there, the reaction from the ad and one play on radio 2 was great, imagine it was A List 😐
Does anyone know if the Christmas songs on the radio 2 playlist have got many spins this week yet? Or are they waiting until tomorrow?
Already heard ‘River’ by Joni Mitchell on Radio 2 today already, maybe Ellie will only be played on Radio 1?

Playlisted Christmas tracks went on rotation from Saturday. Weekend plays tend to be minimal because of the shows on air. Take Robbie for instance, he's been played 6 times since which is about normal.

Not bad, just heard it there now on Steve Wright. Along with Slade and Mariah lol, such a comparison to radio 1!
