November 13, 20214 yr Scott Mills is covering for Ken Bruce all week from tomorrow on Radio 2. He's done it a few times now this year and although I can't quite see him leaving R1 just yet he would be a perfect fit to take over that show in the future. I'd imagine you've got a few years until that happens. Wonder if Scott would be allowed to keep the chart show on R1 and have a regular show on R2 as you get the feeling thats the main reason he stays at R1.
November 19, 20214 yr Author Radio 2 never update on CIN weekends! Don't recall this ever being a thing tbh. Whilst the website hasn't updated (yet), the new additions are: Benson Boone - Ghost Town Duran Duran feat. Tove Lo - Give It All Up Joel Corry feat.

November 22, 20214 yr Really love the new Tears For Fears song, one of their best since 1989 for me. Interesting that they have an extra song on the A List…wonder why that is? Anyway last ‘normal’ play list of the year as the Xmas influx will begin next week. Edited November 22, 20214 yr by steve201
November 22, 20214 yr Oops lol! I don’t think I’ve heard it yet thankfully lol! Edited there! Edited November 22, 20214 yr by steve201
November 22, 20214 yr Author Interesting that they have an extra song on the A List…wonder why that is? I would imagine it's ABBA or Westlife that has outstayed its welcome and they just haven't removed it or they intentionally have 11 tracks to include Everywhere.
November 22, 20214 yr Just checked the hour by hour spins on the shows on bbc sounds and it appears all the long running A Listed songs were played twice today!
November 22, 20214 yr Author Slightly more than that actually. Playlist rotation involves the shows from OJ Borg, Vanessa Feltz, Zoe Ball, Ken Bruce, Jeremy Vine, Steve Wright and Sara Cox. ABBA - Just A Notion (4 plays) Adele - Easy On Me (1 play) Bryan Adams - So Happy It Hurts (2 plays) Craig David & MNEK - Who You Are (3 plays) Duran Duran feat. Tove Lo - Give It All Up (3 plays) Ed Sheeran - Overpass Graffiti (3 plays) Elton John & Charlie Puth - After All (3 plays) Niall Horan & Anne-Marie - Everywhere (4 plays) Tears For Fears - The Tipping Point (3 plays) U2 - Your Song Saved My Life (3 plays) Westlife - Starlight (4 plays) Poor Adele :kink:
November 22, 20214 yr I didn’t check the really early shows 😬! Adele probably the longest runner so maybe that’s why it only got a spin on Steve Wright!
November 23, 20214 yr Are R2 not gonna playlist 'Kiss Of Life' now that they've dropped 'A Second To Midnight'? :(

November 23, 20214 yr Author Are R2 not gonna playlist 'Kiss Of Life' now that they've dropped 'A Second To Midnight'? :( I imagine they'll pick it up in the coming weeks. I can't see them ignoring it as they've playlisted all singles from both Kylie and Jessie recently
November 24, 20214 yr I imagine they'll pick it up in the coming weeks. I can't see them ignoring it as they've playlisted all singles from both Kylie and Jessie recently Plus we don't know if Kiss of Life has a projected impact date at this point.
November 24, 20214 yr Plus we don't know if Kiss of Life has a projected impact date at this point. Yeah I wasn't sure if impact dates are still a thing and whether R2 still go by them. I just assumed it was an official single since it has a video.
November 25, 20214 yr Author It would be interesting to get an updated insight on Radio playlisting now because some tracks must have an impact date where labels are actively trying to push them to stations, probably more for post-album singles but also standalone tracks too
