May 7, 20205 yr Author 7 weeks for Doja Cat too! Some interesting adds, especially twenty one pilots and Waze & Odyssey et al. Sam Fischer was kind of expected really
May 7, 20205 yr Do they normal support the 1975? Radio 2 really is becoming more and more pop and radio 1 seems to be playing the newest artists and grime music. Is the length of time certain songs last on the playlist becoming longer or is it just me?
May 8, 20205 yr OUT Major Lazer feat. Marcus Mumford - Lay Your Head On Me [b-B-B] Melanie C - Who I Am [b-B-B] Kiesza - All Of The Feelings [C-C-C] The Lemon Twigs - The One [C-C-C] Twinnie - I Love You Now Change [C-C-C][/color] Are they nuts?! Playlisting a song for three weeks only is a f***ing joke! :rolleyes:
May 8, 20205 yr Author Are they nuts?! Playlisting a song for three weeks only is a f***ing joke! :rolleyes: Realistically they’ve played it for about 6-7 weeks as although it wasn’t on the playlist it was played most days as a #Newto2 song EDIT: oops I was assuming you were just talking about Mel :kink:
May 8, 20205 yr Author Ronan now confirmed as ROTW on R2 and the Eurovision compilation has nabbed the album spot!
May 9, 20205 yr Author Do they normal support the 1975? Radio 2 really is becoming more and more pop and radio 1 seems to be playing the newest artists and grime music. Is the length of time certain songs last on the playlist becoming longer or is it just me? No, the first time they ever appeared on the playlist was in 2018, and it was their only appearance until this week, with It's Not Living (If It's Not With You) - C List for 3 weeks
May 10, 20205 yr Author I do wonder what they'll showcase from Eurovision. Perched for Little Big *.* though I reckon they'll snub it and probably play James Newman every day :lol:
May 10, 20205 yr Author In further R2 news, regular fans of PopMaster will be keen to know that on the 25th there will be a whole day of it with rounds every hour throughout the day involving Dermot O’Leary, Ken Bruce, Claudia Winkleman, Scott Mills and Sara Cox who are on air that day along with the public and celebrity contestants.
May 12, 20205 yr No, the first time they ever appeared on the playlist was in 2018, and it was their only appearance until this week, with It's Not Living (If It's Not With You) - C List for 3 weeks Thanks, have you ever went on Ken Bruce's Pop Quiz?
May 13, 20205 yr Author Thanks, have you ever went on Ken Bruce's Pop Quiz? I’m so shit at PopMaster. My 60s and 70s music knowledge is non-existent but I cackle when they get the more recent questions wrong, especially current playlist ones - kinda shows how much of a (non)impact their playlist can have I guess
May 13, 20205 yr I’m so shit at PopMaster. My 60s and 70s music knowledge is non-existent but I cackle when they get the more recent questions wrong, especially current playlist ones - kinda shows how much of a (non)impact their playlist can have I guess Or when they ask about a massive hit from 1995 and the contestant says "oh that's too recent for me, Ken"
May 13, 20205 yr I do wonder what they'll showcase from Eurovision. Perched for Little Big *.* though I reckon they'll snub it and probably play James Newman every day :lol: Iceland maybe?
May 13, 20205 yr Author Iceland maybe? So far we’ve had: James Newman - My Last Breath (UK) Daði og Gagnamagnið - Think About Things (Iceland) Tom Leeb - The Best In Me (France) Diodato - Fai rumore (Italy) The Mamas - Move (Sweden) Efendi - Cleopatra (Azerbaijan) They only play 2 tracks a day for album of the week so they’ve been varied already which is good to see
