March 3, 20224 yr This to me is funny because 10 years ago Kings Of Leon and Nickelback weren't rock music and they couldn't play them and now they're apparently playing Avril Lavigne? :lol: My knowledge of Kerrang doesn’t go much further before 2010, but they’ve definitely been very supportive of pop-punk this decade. Even Twenty One Pilots, Panic! etc these days. Though I suspect Kings of Leon were probably too ‘indie’ for them, I still couldn’t imagine them being covered by Kerrang now!
March 4, 20224 yr Author Exactly. Planet Radio has Absolute for the indie bands and Kerrang for the heavier/metal/pop-punk stuff so it does make sense for Avril to be there
March 4, 20224 yr A bit off topic, but I discovered earlier that Kerrang radio has nothing to do with the magazine these days! I have no idea how long it’s been like that though.

March 21, 20224 yr When’s the last time we had a song playlisted for 8 weeks?Bad Habits last year. And funnily enough you asked the same question when that happened too :magic: When’s the last time Radio 2 ever playlisted a track for 8 weeks? Rain On Me last year. Before that it was Nothing Breaks Like a Heart so it's rare.
March 21, 20224 yr One of the worst things Kylie has ever put her name to, I wish they weren't bothering with this.
March 21, 20224 yr Bad Habits last year. And funnily enough you asked the same question when that happened too :magic: :lol: thought the most before was 7 weeks, R2 playlist getting slower!
March 21, 20224 yr Author :lol: thought the most before was 7 weeks, R2 playlist getting slower! It isn't really. This is the fourth track in 3 years to get 8 weeks on the playlist. 5/6 weeks is still the most common length of time.

March 26, 20224 yr Surprised they’re playing Megan Thee Stallion! I assume that’s the first time she’s been playlisted? And 9 weeks for George!! I don’t ever remember a song getting that long before. Edited March 26, 20224 yr by Dan17F1
March 26, 20224 yr Author Surprised they’re playing Megan Thee Stallion! I assume that’s the first time she’s been playlisted? And 9 weeks for George!! I don’t ever remember a song getting that long before. Yeah, they gave the Savage Remix a few spins as 'New To 2' but it never got playlisted. 9 weeks is a first ever for the playlist! They must really love it.
