July 12Jul 12 Author Nice to see Sugababes make it straight onto the A List. Also good to see Rita Ora climb up - that's my favourite of hers since Praising You!I have no idea why they have decided to playlist OneRepublic's awful cover of Starlight, it's a completely unnecessary song (and the Jonas Brothers sample of Stayin Alive isn't much better).

July 18Jul 18 Author Good to see a clear-out this week - it's a shame that none of them are particularly interesting to me!
July 20Jul 20 That new Cast single sounds pretty good - I'm looking forward to hearing it live next week when they open for the mighty Oasis!
July 21Jul 21 I know it’s not playlisted related but it is radio 2 related and I’m gonna say that POTP on 3rd August is double 80s when they never usually do double same decade on POTP. They usually do 1 from 1 decade and 1 from a different decade, not the same one

July 25Jul 25 Author An unexpected add for Golden there. Didn't think R2 would playlist that. Also good to see an insta-add for Mariah Carey and nice to see Justin Bieber on there. A very unusual climb for Seafret from C to A List - that doesn't happen very often at all on the R2 playlist. I'm away for the next 2 weeks so please could someone post this in my absence?
July 26Jul 26 So happy that Golden is on here! Would love to see Rizzle Kicks/Rachel Chinouriri to be added in the next couple of weeks. Edited July 26Jul 26 by James.
July 26Jul 26 Amazing for Olly to be straight on the A list AND Record of the Week. A massive turnaround from his last album when the singles off that both only lasted a couple of weeks on B list! It's his best single for years so it's well deserved 👏🏻 Edited July 26Jul 26 by ThePensmith
