October 19Oct 19 Author Good to see adds for Sam Fender (even if it's nowhere near one of his best), as well as Louis Tomlinson and Perrie. I know R2 has a very wide age range they have to appeal to, but that Barry Manilow song is not great at all. No idea why they have decided to add that to the playlist.
October 19Oct 19 Good to see Louis playlisted, and I'm surprised to see Perrie pushing that song, I thought 'Cute Aggression' would have been the obvious choice. Never heard of Will Brown!

November 2Nov 2 Author Good to see Jessie J with an insta-add and Mumford & Sons added. Not much else going on for me though.
November 2Nov 2 Not unexpected but nice to see Olly's new track on there, he's releasing some fun bops lately.

November 8Nov 8 Author Good to see big support for Katy Perry from the one. Not entirely unexpected though when they strongly supported Woman's World and this is far, far better. That's a very late add for JADE, it's been and gone for some weeks on R1's playlist - I wonder why they have decided to add it at such a late stage?
November 8Nov 8 Author I would be surprised if she is playlisted really. Jo Whiley has played her in the evenings but I don't think she will make it as far as the playlist

November 15Nov 15 Author Good to see a bit of a clear out this week. Upon first plays, I'm really enjoying the Nathan Evans and Remember Monday tracks, not so much Lewis Capaldi's or Miley Cyrus' (I think they've both done much better)Last year there were no Christmas songs added to the playlist, I wonder if they will do the same thing again this year (especially as Kylie has released one and they love her)
November 15Nov 15 I forgot they didn’t add any Christmas songs last December, must have been a first as they normally try and support new Xmas efforts each year.
November 15Nov 15 I hope they add Kylie's XMAS, will be another boost for its (albeit slim) chances of getting to #1.I guess Rag'n'Bone Man has fully transitioned from a R1 to a R2 artist now?

November 22Nov 22 Author Not a lot going on this week but great to see Bastille with a large amount of support immediately. I absolutely love the song!
November 22Nov 22 JADE moving up! Can they move Rita up next week? Edited November 22Nov 22 by James.
