May 13, 20205 yr Author Nice to see Ariana/Justin and Tom Gregory there too. Wow at them adding Future Nostalgia, it's been a good few months since an entire album made its way onto the playlist (I believe Robbie's Xmas album was the last); that means 2-3 plays a day of tracks from the album!
May 13, 20205 yr Does 'tracks from Future Nostalgia' mean that they're going to play any song from the album, including the ones that were playlisted before, or only the album cuts? Also, if Dua announces the new single from the album, is BBC Radio 2 going to switch the 'tracks from Future Nostalgia' with the new single?
May 13, 20205 yr What a strange decision to start playing tracks from Future Nostalgia now, given that the album's been out for a few weeks! They'd normally do this for new releases wouldn't they?
May 13, 20205 yr Author It means they'll play the album tracks along with Don't Start Now, Physical and Break My Heart (and Future Nostalgia if people want to count a grat/promo as a single). They often do give weight to the singles but given there's only 11 tracks on the album everything should get a spin at some point during the week. As Break My Heart is only leaving the playlist this week, I can't see a new single coming from Dua quite just yet? But they're big supporters of her so I'd imagine they'll switch relatively quickly if it does happen. However, as we're now in post-album territory, they'll probably pick up the next single further down the line. And M4NGO, you're right it is for new releases usually. Not sure what the decision here was but I'm welcoming it haha.

May 13, 20205 yr Author She had 6 weeks! That's the standard (if not better than what has been given to others recently) for a song.
May 14, 20205 yr Doja finally off there but great track. Nice to see 'In Your Eyes' the longest runner now!

May 20, 20205 yr Author Big support again for Gaga here which is good to see. I hope Rain On Me lives up to the hype! Yay for Marshmello/Halsey too. And it would appear it is the 1989 version of the song for Barry given its recent resurgence with what's going on the world.
May 20, 20205 yr Author For the Dua stans out there this is what they’ve played so far in 5 days Break My Heart [4 plays] Love Again [1 play] ... Yeah imma retract what I said before. What a shitshow of a playlisting; they’re not even giving it the right around of spins per day :lol:

May 28, 20205 yr Author Glad they've finally got there with Jessie, they've been playing Save A Kiss a lot. Fantastic for Ellie and Katy too! Surprised they've dumped The 1975 and Paul/Jacqui already. There is a spot missing on the A List unless we're only getting 9 tracks. There's no TBC announced as of yet.
May 28, 20205 yr Thoroughly enjoying listening to radio 2 a lot more when working from home and enjoyed the songs from Paul Heaton & Jacqui and also Shaun Escofrey, artists I'd never have heard them any other time!
