And Elton John’s Step Into Christmas too

By Christmas Day, I bet they’ll play Jingle Bell Rock, Santa Tell Me, IBTLALLC, ITMWTOTY and Stay Another Day

It's a "live playlist" in the Global Player app, not actually played on the main Capital station.

yea i just found it ijbol. Kinda a waste of so many incredible songs but whatever. Hope many transfer onto the main playlist next year

I would love to see the Buzz playlist incorporated into the Capital mainframe in the future, if only for one dedicated hour. It would be similar to how some iHeartRadio stations in the U.S. have a 1-2 hour segment dedicated to spotlighting K-pop/K-pop adjacent acts

Merry Christmas Ya Filthy Animals

Guess it was a mistake, because the Capital Breakfast Christmas Special was recorded when that was what they were playing.

Maybe tomorrow at 1am due to it being the Capital Weekender.

It’ll probably be removed at 7pm then.

When removed, I expect 20 new songs on the playlist

I feel that your expectations of Capital’s freshness might be a bit wide of the mark 😂

I had it on and they definitely squeezed as many as they could in before 7pm 😂

The playlist meetings happen on Tuesdays and the playlist starts Tuesday evening, but the website doesn't update til Friday. Of course, today's been a bank holiday, so no update today. It may come Monday or it may not happen until next week (though they're not always as consistent as Radio 1 are at updating their playlist).

so do we have to track any change, if any
