May 7, 20215 yr Author Elton has definitely contributed to her addition otherwise I don't think they'd have bothered but I'm happy she's there
May 7, 20215 yr Some great adds here for Rina/Elton, Jessie Ware, Coldplay and Tom Odell getting on the playlist. Sad to see Ashe and Maroon 5 falling out!

June 11, 20215 yr Some great additions there for Calvin, Sigrid, One Republic, Griff, BTS and co! Still don’t get radio 2 and how they pick songs. Always pick a choir song and country singers then have bangers from Calvin, Little Mix and Galantis in amongst them. Imelda not moving up much considering how huge the last single was for them.
June 12, 20215 yr Author Radio 2 just epitomise adult contemporary music in their playlist. They can be brave sometimes, and they certainly have been with their dance and pop choices over the past 5 years or so. Like Radio 1, they've got to suit a wide audience so are going to pick varying genres.

June 15, 20215 yr Author Following on from a couple of previous posts I wanted to have a look at how much Radio 2's playlist has changed over the years so here are the playlists from this week 10 and 5 years ago respectively. 2011 is very much the old Radio 2 with a strict AOR style of pop to what we have now and no dance music whatsoever. You can see a slight shift in 2016 (Netsky, Sigma, Troye Sivan), but still not as significant as it is now. Interesting how the C List was much bigger too!
