January 4Jan 4 Yes thanks for posting Lewis and thanks for continuing Dan. Was ‘Moon Music’ played as an album back in Oct? Surprised but happy they are will still supporting Janet Devlin.

January 11Jan 11 Author Good to see Lola Young make it on here - I wasn’t sure if they would playlist her. Also nice to see Chappell Roan too. I’ve listened to the other new additions and none of them stand out sadly. There’s definitely been a policy change in the past couple of months for songs to spend longer on the playlist - we’re now on the 9th week for Sam Fender, the 8th for Myles Smith and the 7th for Coldplay!
January 13Jan 13 I agree about the length of time on the playlist but maybe best to compare outside of Xmas and the new year as some songs last longer then naturally! Wonder why Ringo is ROTW but his singles weren’t playlisted?

January 18Jan 18 Author The Boyzlife and Marshmello songs are ok I guess but there’s not a lot on there that’s exciting me. I think the playlist is looking pretty stale at the moment really. Jo Whiley plays some great stuff in the evening that never gets a look in throughout the day unfortunately.
January 20Jan 20 'All I Ever Am' is a great choice to push to radio from The Cure (although I loved every song on the album so nothing would have been a bad choice x).

January 25Jan 25 Author Good to see Sam and Teddy with instant support today. I also like the Cian Ducrot add this week. Anyone know what that Tina Turner song is? Is it new?
January 26Jan 26 It's an unreleased track from the Private Dancer sessions which is being released as part of a 40th Anniversary edition of the album

February 2Feb 2 Author Good to see Tom Grennan with an insta-add. Also nice to see Mumford on there (hopefully R1 follow suit soon and they haven't been binned off!)
February 2Feb 2 I’d imagine Mumfords are R2 only now given they’ve been around so long and have went back to their traditional sound, they haven’t played the new single on the Future Sounds show either!
