June 15, 20215 yr Yeh there’s def been a big change in the past ten years but I guess their target audience have also changed and will have been growing up with dance and rap music a lot more!

June 25, 20215 yr Sad to see the new Manics single off, really enjoying it. Also really like the new Diana Ross track heard it during the week and thought it was a modern rnb singer. Really good comeback!

They're being given spot plays, just not as part of the main playlist?
June 27, 20215 yr Author Yeah exactly that, usually an indication of tracks they're going to playlist too
June 27, 20215 yr This is quite an interesting list actually, apart from tracks that they insta-add to the playlist, are there any tracks which end up on the playlist which aren’t ‘new to 2’ first?

June 27, 20215 yr Author This is quite an interesting list actually, apart from tracks that they insta-add to the playlist, are there any tracks which end up on the playlist which aren’t ‘new to 2’ first? From this week's playlist, Tom Odell, Van Morrison and Kyle Falconer hadn't been played before on daytime rotation. Thanks for these. Are they on the website or is this just from you listening? Just from my listening over the week (and trawling BBC Sounds). What I might do is from next week, just tack these onto the main playlist update for the week prior :)
June 27, 20215 yr From that list I really hope 'Love Again' and 'Build It Better' make it on to the main playlist.

June 28, 20215 yr I always hear Ken Bruce and Steve Wrights show and they give loads of spot plays. It’s basically like the D-List of the playlist!

July 2, 20215 yr KSI becoming a Radio 2 fave, first his appearance on their all-star charity single and now this :cheeseblock: x
July 2, 20215 yr Nice to see Jacks album getting playlisted, wish radio 1 still did that! Also nice to see Gary Kemp, Lorde, KSI and surprised to see Garrix/U2 added, a song we have been subconsciously hearing a lot before games at the Euros!
