April 27Apr 27 Author So that's 10 weeks for Ordinary now which I think is a joint recent record (with Die With A Smile or APT. if I remember correctly).Good to see lots of movement and additions this week, good adds for Sam Fender, CMAT and Declan J Donovan which is a great tune. Very surprised to see the Sugababes moved up this week, I thought they would be removed. Also, slightly surprised not to see an insta-add for Lorde, but I'm sure that will come in the next couple of weeks.
April 27Apr 27 Decent shake up this week, nice that the new Sugababes song got to the A List as well. That new Sam Fender track will sound brill at the festivals this summer!
April 27Apr 27 I have listened to lots of Radio 2 in the car this week as went to my 50-year-old mate's who stopped listening to Radio 1 in about 2014. Little Bit Closer sounded great and Spike Island growing on me, definitely in no rush to hear the new Gary Barlow and Beverley Knight* ones again though. It's good that at least most R1 pop gets on R2 too so we at least get some current relevant stuff during these road trips. *They are obsessed with her 3 hours ago, RobBot said:I’m not sure if MDMA in the back garden is very Radio 2 I heard it on Radio 2 first! Admittedly on Jo Whiley, don't think the drug reference made the cut though. 3 hours ago, Steve201 said:Decent shake up this week, nice that the new Sugababes song got to the A List as well.That new Sam Fender track will sound brill at the festivals this summer!Does sound great in the sun - not massively into his new album as it gets a bit midtempo, bland and samey but that's another great single from him. I don't disagree with everything he's done this era.B-side now on streaming Tyrants is better than half the album! Edited April 27Apr 27 by HiyaLuv!

May 9May 9 Author Apologies for forgetting to post last week. Still no Lorde :( very surprised that they're snubbing her, I would have thought it would be up R2's street. Not surprised to see Sophie Ellis-Bextor make the A List immediately considering she's one of their presenters. Quite cool to see NEMO make the playlist last week though, that was a surprise.
May 9May 9 I was wondering what happened to the playlist last week. Great to see Sophie go straight to A-list, 'Taste' is the best thing she's released this era!

May 16May 16 Author Well... I can't say that playlist interests me at all at the moment. Wasn't expecting Jessie J of all people to get an insta-add though!

May 24May 24 Author Still not a lot of interesting additions for me at the moment. Disappointed that the new Calvin hasn't made it on here, they have given it a few spot plays so they're not adverse to playing it. Also surprised that Alex Warren didn't get an insta-add, it's a perfect sounding song for R2.
May 25May 25 Great to see 'Find Xanadu' on the playlist, really loving that atm! Robbie too. I'm surprised they didn't insta-add 'Bloodline', though I'm sure R1 will next week.
