April 18, 2025Apr 18 Author Very curious that they'd A-list Guetta/Sia so quickly, especially considering that it's not exactly smashing and that their support for both artists has been waning recently. Is Guetta playing Big Weekend?In contrast, it's odd that YUNGBLUD is stalling on the C-list when they're not usually shy to A-list him. I wonder if it's because the song's 9 minutes long? I haven't actually heard it played on the radio yet, is there an edit of it with a more radio-friendly length?
April 18, 2025Apr 18 Did they playlist Feel It when it was first released? Surprised to see them add it now
April 18, 2025Apr 18 ‘Feel It’ was Rickie, Melvin and Charlie’s Tune of the Week a couple of weeks ago but they didn’t playlist it when it was first released. Edited April 18, 2025Apr 18 by tris.tan

Maybe he’s on the dance stage? I agree the song is definitely one of his weakest and I don’t really like it much sadly. Edited April 18, 2025Apr 18 by tris.tan
April 18, 2025Apr 18 Guetta is headlining Radio 1 in Malta which probably explains the strong support at the moment!
April 18, 2025Apr 18 Lana added yayThe Joy Crooks single is great tooActually lots of great adds today Edited April 18, 2025Apr 18 by Bjork

Not many new additions that stand out to me this week, no surprise that Selena/benny were added, I’ve been hearing it loads recently! 2 hours ago, Dan17F1 said:Guetta is headlining Radio 1 in Malta which probably explains the strong support at the moment!Speaking of dance music I feel like we’re getting to that time of year where there’s gonna be a lot more dance music on the playlist! 😂
April 18, 2025Apr 18 Need to hear most of the new entries this week ngl but glad to see Lana and Selena/Benny!

I haven't actually heard it played on the radio yet, is there an edit of it with a more radio-friendly length?Yes, the Yungblud song has been reduced to around 4 minutes, I’m surprised it hasn’t moved up either but it isn’t commercial in the slightest (not that should affect the playlisting but it does seem to). I’m pretty sure When We Die (Can We Still Get High) was only C Listed too but then that might have been because of the subject matter. Good to see adds for Selena Gomez (even if it does basically sound like a Charli XCX song), Little Simz and Lana and upwards movement for Show Me Love, PinkPantheress and Sam Fender.I assume we’ll probably see Shaboozey/Myles Smith, Rudimental/Khalid and AJ Tracey all added in the next couple of weeks.
April 18, 2025Apr 18 The B-list again at 14 songs, and looks like 10 is the new number for the C-list. They’ve started playing more older songs recently (I’ve heard ‘The Boy Is Mine’ and ‘Lean On’ recently which stood out) so I’m guessing there’s been a conscious shift there.

Maybe they'll move it up to the B-list next week, though I won't hold my breath. I think you're right about WWD(CWSGH) only being C-listed due to the subject matter.
