May 30, 2025May 30 Author Normal service is resumed and there's a big clearout as expected, with the freshest playlist for months!Surprised Calvin wasn't A-listed ahead of those that were!As far as the playlist runs, I'm treating things as if there was no playlist the past two weeks (even though many of the songs were still played).

May 30, 2025May 30 How the hell is Calvin only B List??? What's going on? Shocked to see Rihanna added. Not her best, but good to see her continued support.
May 30, 2025May 30 I suppose that bodes well for Rihanna that they'll still be willing to give her good support if she releases actual music again.It's a shame that whilst she's still considered a big name she's half-arsing it at best with stuff like this though.
May 30, 2025May 30 Pleased to see Wolf Alice straight to the A-List! Such a consistently great band.Not complaining about 'Headphones On' still being there but I wonder if they'll touch Addison's new single 'Fame is a Gun'. If "gun" is too controversial for Radio 1 then I guess they could do another 'Diet P' overhaul for her

(it's a brilliant song regardless!)

(it's a brilliant song regardless!)I believe so, lines are pretty blurry these days but it is referred to as the 'fifth single' in this Rolling Stone article published today: https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/addison-rae-fame-is-a-gun-video-1235350604/an impressively long campaign nowadays with 5 pre-album singles / music videos!
May 30, 2025May 30 Old Phone out after two weeks lol (def a single though 😬)!Shock Sir Calvin wasn’t instant Alisted. Lovely to see Wolf Alice getting continued big support, fantastic band!

May 30, 2025May 30 love them but bizarre that Haim are added as A-listbut Calvin only B, Alex Warren only B, Miley only C

I don't see how it can be denied that it's a single with Radio 1 playlisting and a physical release...!
May 30, 2025May 30 Sad to see Joy Crookes new track removed, it’s de DC her best song from this era so far!Also so random how they are back on Tom Odell in a huge way after ignoring him for so many eras. Not that I’m complaining as I am a fan!

May 30, 2025May 30 But not all acts that played are A Listed, are they?Suppose Tom Odell maybe too.Can understand being playlisted but top tier. Although not surprised if Haim ended up A List but instant added is impressive!
