March 13, 20233 yr Author I would imagine Radio 2 will wait a bit to add Mae Muller. Sam Ryder got 6 weeks A List last year but he was added mid-April which allowed build up and post-second place buzz to continue after the final. Commercial radio tracks tend to stick around a lot longer on playlists whereas R2 could add her this week coming but she'd then need 8 weeks to take her to final and they very rarely give any song that length of time

March 26, 20233 yr Gosh, B*Witched's new single playlisted on Radio 2. Good for them getting national playlisting, I'm not overly mad on the song though, I wouldn't have even known it was them from the track and vocal production. Brooke getting B-list support too, wow :o Eyes Closed must definitely be playlisted on Heart, it's been on a few times. Their rinsing of Never Gonna Not Dance Again has finally ceased, so that must be off.
March 31, 20233 yr I can only assume you guys don't listen to Heart by choice?! :lol: Why would anyone ever do that :teresa:

May 6, 20232 yr Freya I Feel Love yes pleaaaase ❤️ I wonder if they’ve just decided she’s R2 not R1 going forward? Can’t she be both? Shame if not!! But here for the R2 support.
May 6, 20232 yr Freya I Feel Love yes pleaaaase ❤️ I wonder if they’ve just decided she’s R2 not R1 going forward? Can’t she be both? Shame if not!! But here for the R2 support. Looking that way :( Which is bizarre to me, as the new material sounds so much more R1 friendly than the stuff from the first album. Maybe she just took too long or something?
