August 29, 2025Aug 29 Author And the award for most boring update of the year goes to... THIS WEEK.I do like the Biffy song though.Not sure why 'Manchild' needs a 12th (!) week on the playlist when they could have just replaced it with 'Tears'?

August 29, 2025Aug 29 Ahh - Just heard Greg play Hayley Williams so built up my hopes she would be playlisted this week. The new Biffy Clyro track is really good though, I’m really getting into this new era.
August 29, 2025Aug 29 I like the Joy Crookes, Kehlani & Laufey songs. I hope next week’s update is better than this week’s!

August 29, 2025Aug 29 Feels surprising that we're just a couple of weeks away from Ed Sheeran's album and he hasn't got a single on the playlist at all, I wonder what the situation is with A Little More?
August 29, 2025Aug 29 yay Joy Crookes and Laufey, great update <3but how bizarre they didn't replace Manchild with Tears, very weird
August 29, 2025Aug 29 Interesting to see Laufey on the Radio 1 playlist!Yay for Florence being A-Listed <3 and the new Biffy Clyro song is quite a banger too x

'A Little More' has a big budget official video so it can't be the case that it's a promotional single. Yet none of the big radio stations have playlisted it. So bizarre

So bizarre Plenty of non-singles get videos nowadays, it's just confusing that there doesn't appear to be another single on the horizon for radio to support if this one isn't a main single! Perhaps the album's focus track will be pushed upon release? Time will tell I suppose!
August 29, 2025Aug 29 ALM even had an unplugged version, Old phone didnt even get that treatment, it feels like this was supposed to be more of a single than that 🫣
August 29, 2025Aug 29 Which song was the last 12-week A list track?Apparently Manchild is replaced by “Tracks from Man’s Best Friend”, did not hear it after Early Breakfast. Or they will play Manchild again after the weekend? Edited August 29, 2025Aug 29 by FrancesC

But before those two, funnily enough Sabrina's 'Feather' was on the playlist for 12 weeks!

Normally a 12-weeker started with the C list or B list. Can’t remember whether George Ezra did it before. Edited August 29, 2025Aug 29 by FrancesC
