So Joe informs me that Kelly C has been added to the Radio 2 playlist *.* Straight to B-List with 'Piece By Piece'. If it could do SOMETHING, I would be happy. Although I expect nothing but top 500 at best for it :lol: :(

So is 'Hymn For The Weekend' officially the next single from Coldplay?

I'm guessing so, but I've not heard anything else confirming/suggesting. Hopefully it will mean Radio 1 abandon 'Adventure of a Lifetime' now though.

Strange why bands like The Fratellis just get dumped to radio 2 when they've been away for ages!

Aren't the Fratellis essentially a very brief flash in the pan from 10 years ago?

 

I thought in Radio 1 terms they were considered irrelevant quite a long time ago now.

That one album with Chelsea Dagger on it was huge on radio 1 albeit in 2007 when we were in the final 2/3 years on indie domination.

Yeh nearly 20 years ago lol.

 

Glass Animals & Michael Kiwanuka on 6 Music :wub:

Offtopic but Radio 2 did 1999 for Pick Of The Pops, first time ever.

 

http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b07ncb2k

 

Never thought I'd ever hear Better Off Alone on Radio 2 :lol:

 

So Long by Fierce seemed like a more bizarre choice to me! I don't think I've heard that on ANY radio station since 1999.

 

I still don't understand how Dayz Like That wasn't a major top five smash.

I don't understand why they immediately disappeared after hitting the top 3

Not the first time ever - they did the previous week 4 years ago and played Alice Deejay then too :)

 

Must have missed it. I know they did 2001 once several years ago, and they never went to the 2000s again. I remember it was a chart with Norman Bass and Faith Hill

I don't understand why they immediately disappeared after hitting the top 3

 

Quite curious indeed, I don't recall hearing that they'd broken up. I saw them live in March 2000 as part of a radio station concert, and that must have been the last time they were ever seen or heard of :lol:

 

I'd wondered if it had something to do with record label troubles but apparently that didn't fold for another few years.
