September 17, 20214 yr Author Seeing as we've got a couple of joint playlistings atm, it's interesting to see the weighting of the plays they do as really they should be "equal" ABBA: I Still Have Faith In You [7 plays] / Don't Shut Me Down [14 plays] Ed Sheeran: Visiting Hours [6 plays] / Shivers [13 plays] They clearly have favourites :kink:

September 25, 20214 yr Nice to see the new Joy Crookes getting support from radio 2 & 1 this week, if it was Adele’s comeback it would be an instant number one, classy vocals. Also nice Duran Duran instant A-Listed again!

October 8, 20214 yr Great to see The Killers added. Strange as R2 usually only playlist official singles right? There has been no sign whatsoever of this being a single… maybe the U.K. label just went ahead and did it by itself.
October 8, 20214 yr Author It is a track they've performed live in the US on chat shows which is a good indicator of single choice
October 8, 20214 yr It’s a great choice for single but I would have went for ‘Cody’ myself, it’s such a great album by them even better than the last! Also thought Abba woulda been on there longer!
October 10, 20214 yr Also thought Abba woulda been on there longer! Really odd that they've removed it, but aren't ABBA going to go for a Christmas release? They might've removed it in preparation for that track...
October 10, 20214 yr Bizarre that Radio 2 is ignoring TonyGaga because they supported Cheek to Cheek.
October 10, 20214 yr Author Bizarre that Radio 2 is ignoring TonyGaga because they supported Cheek to Cheek. The album was their Album of the Week all last week so they haven't completely ignored it
October 10, 20214 yr Really odd that they've removed it, but aren't ABBA going to go for a Christmas release? They might've removed it in preparation for that track... I think they will playlist another new song from the album when it’s released and then a Christmas single in December at this point!
October 10, 20214 yr Author Really odd that they've removed it, but aren't ABBA going to go for a Christmas release? They might've removed it in preparation for that track... I think they will playlist another new song from the album when it’s released and then a Christmas single in December at this point! They got 5 weeks which isn't out of the oridinary, but they do seem to be keeping some tracks a little longer these days, Cold Heart being a prime example here. However, Cold Heart has had sustained chart success whereas ABBA's tracks seem to have waned in popularity.
October 10, 20214 yr Yeh there’s nearly always a song on there for 7 weeks these days. Could be because of chart position but they aren’t usually fussed on that historically but again maybe that’s changed.
October 11, 20214 yr I think they will playlist another new song from the album when it’s released and then a Christmas single in December at this point! I'd say Voyage will be Album Of The Week too.

October 15, 20214 yr Author Bit of a clearout this week and some great new adds. There was no doubt with Adele, but really good for Steps, Becky Hill and Kylie/Y&Y too. Lil Nas X is a massive surprise and this is his Radio 2 playlist debut!
October 15, 20214 yr Is the number of weeks on the playlist generally increasing? I remember a year ago 5 weeks seemed pretty much the maximum and fairly unusual, but the Dua/Elton song had 7 weeks and there are quite a few on 5 weeks.
