As already stated the announcement was probably too late, they wouldn't exclude her for no reason

Fingers crossed she gets added on Friday

It's not the end of the world, it'll be there on Friday and they're playing it anyway. There are much more important things in the world to fret about. Chill!

No 'fingers crossed' about it.

Probably a good idea to read the comments in the thread before posting!

I have also noticed that R1 seemed to have dropped the 'excessive number of recurrents from about 10-15 years ago' thing, thank God. I love a lot of those songs but it's meant to be a new/contemporary music station so I am very glad about that. I'm guessing it was linked to the Big Weekend and probably getting the listeners in a nostalgic R1 Anthems mood for Sugababes/Natasha Bedingfield but it was weird they didn't say why they were doing it when it wasn't by someone who wasn't even playing the Big Weekend. If they're gonna play things like California Gurls in 2025, it at least needs to be for a reason, they're not Radio 2 or Heart!

What selection of old songs did they play? They normally have recurrent do they not from the last five years and the odd one from 10 years ago? (I don’t listen much anymore though)!

I've not been listening much either as I have been having 'fake Radio 1 sessions' on Spotify built around their playlist and my own recent recurrent choices as it's not just been the same for me content-wise since Mills left even if M+M are a huge improvement on Dean and Vicky who were just two years of nothingness (I am 42 though tbf) but I did listen to Mollie's first show back and there was a ridiculous number of pre-2020 songs for 2025.

I've gone back into the official BBC Sounds tracklist but it's definitely missing some so I can't prove my point, there were definitely around 10 pre-2020 and even-pre 2016 songs including ones by people who weren't even playing the Big Weekend like Taylor Swift, Hozier and Bastille!

Yeah, they've only played it nine times in three days. Let's close them down immediately and send them straight to jail! There really is no need to be so extra about such trivial things. For all intents and purposes, it's on the playlist, have a Lemsip or something and stop being so dramatic.

Nine plays already sounds like ‘Manchild’ has been unofficially A-listed then.

On the recurrents, looking back at yesterday’s afternoon show, it does seem to be more recent again now - though there’s still a lot more than there used to be due to the reduction in the playlist size.

Edit - As I say that, ‘Many Of Horror’ and Sigma’s ‘Nobody To Love’ have been played on breakfast.

You do realise they probably weren't yet even aware it exists when they conducted their playlist meeting in the week, don't you?

I think @Hadji has to understand they can play songs not on the playlist. And in Manchild it’s clearly they didn’t have it before last weeks playlist was done.

On the recurrents I don’t mind the odd pre 2015/10 song being played like once a show.

Yeah, one per show is fine, it's when it's loads of them that it loses the 'contemporary' feel for me!

It's 14 now, which is kind of in line with what you'd expect with an A-list song by Tuesday. Still, SHAME ON THEM for not typing it into an online list of songs only people on here and similarly invested types really look at anyway.

I think even with this you're asking a lot.

Let's face it, this place wouldn't be the same without Hadji complaining about Radio 1 playlist decisions and countless choices made by the Now! That's What I Call Music team that were outside of their control anyway.
