Probably turning down either STB or JBB they are that petty

considering they blacklisted JADE for calling them out at their own event, yea that’s not farfetched

I think there is some sort of blacklist for Dua, the only song of hers played on any Global station nowadays is One Kiss with Calvin. There's a similar situation with Ariana Grande, aside from Rain On Me with Gaga, all her songs have been dropped from Capital and Heart's playlists.

im pretty sure ive heard some ari songs on heart rotation still, not just santa tell me. thank u next pops into my head and i think no tears left to cry does too

Although Jade wasn't completely blacklisted church is on the buzz playlist for example

Plastic Box also got playlisted by the main station just a couple of weeks later.

They've doubled down on "snubbing" artists before so they absolutely could have avoided it if they wanted to! (Not saying that they aren't petty)

Checking Online Radio Box, and I did forget that Heart Xmas and 10s have been playing Santa Tell Me, though the main station hasn’t. I don’t think Heart has ever played Thank U, Next. No Tears Left to Cry has been the first song on Heart’s emergency playlist for quite a few years, so you might have heard it when they’ve had technical problems.

I saw Conan Gray has been played again. Is he doing STB?? If so, they may as well playlist new Charlie Puth and P!NK too

STB is 6 months away! I don’t think we need to be talking about it now lol.

Just thinking ahead

Ik it's sarcasm but she's not in their chart, probably because its not on iTunes/Apple!

Why have they re-added Conan? It’s not like it’s doing anything in the charts.

I doubt it due to not being on streaming services

Oh yeah I agree! It deserves to be a hit and I won’t mind hearing it on the radio.

 

I take it this is the last update of the year now?

Can Capital Anthems playlist more songs from the 2020s next year too???

Probably, at least as far as the website goes, I don't see it being updated on Boxing Day! (the playlist meetings are Tuesday but the website gets updated Friday)

Makes sense. I wouldn’t say there’s really anything missing from the playlist at the moment as Capital are mainly a pop/dance station and only really play Top 100 hits apart from the Alessi Rose, Cat Burns, Rizzle Kicks and Rose Gray songs on there, likely only playlisted due to Jingle Bell Ball. I’m expecting an add for Tyla in the new year though, maybe Kato as well.
