if any. I’m just providing the expectation thanks to online radio box. That’s why i didnt label it with the capital image or actually say it was the playlist cos we cant be certain

bye not them literally just playing back to friends like 20 mins ago

Capital has just played Raindance about an hour ago.

Love it! Hopefully this is a sign Capital will start to play more Hip-Hop and R&B!

Never did I think Capital's playlist would be so popular enough to create such a discussion on here

Haha, Capital is the station I mainly listen to so that’s why I’m mainly talking about it on here, I do listen to R1 occasionally though.

I’m surprised to see Back To Friends added now. I’m surprised it wasn’t playlisted back in the summer when it was blowing up but I guess the focus from the label was on Undressed and then 12 to 12 so I suppose it’s nice to see it finally get some radio play at long last.

Sombr - Undressed added

undressed has already been and gone from the playlist, it must be on recurrent.

wonder if buzz will update?

no sign of an update to buzz?

 

well playlist meeting is tomorrow ig so we’ll probably see if they are audience testing ‘Raindance’ and ‘undressed’. ‘back to friends’ is on proper tho

 

oh here we go ‘Mystical Magical’ got 3 plays today 💀🔫

looks as if their re-adding a lot of early 2025 hits to

cover the gaps of the JBB bunch

Prob because Raindance is rising

yea their about to play ‘Raindance’ again looking at the up next on global player. Capital are 100% play testing it

I'd post it if it came, no post = no update (or sometimes it means I just haven't got to it yet)

PS: multi-quote and edit buttons exist to avoid double posting!

Expect Folded and SOMT on the playlist in 2026 (if they approve it)

 

For now though, we have Skye Newman appearing on the playlist
