Average age of songs on the playlist: 4.00 weeks (up from 3.74 last week)

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'?

‘Tears’ is equally as bad.

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.

I like the Joy Crookes, Kehlani & Laufey songs. I hope next week’s update is better than this week’s!

Hopefully they add it next week, I just heard it and it's very good!

BOO at Blackpink being booted off already

Agreed!

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?

yay Joy Crookes and Laufey, great update <3

but how bizarre they didn't replace Manchild with Tears, very weird

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

Yeah I really don't understand what's going on there. '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

Not Ed making a song so mid that even radio don't want to touch it

Why would they playlist Ed impersonating Olly Murs, it’s not 2011 😆😆😆

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!

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 🫣

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?

Old Phone had a vinyl release though!

'Bad Dreams', and 'Sailor Song' just before that... they were the only two 12-weekers of 2024 and 'Manchild' is the first one of this year. But before those two, funnily enough Sabrina's 'Feather' was on the playlist for 12 weeks!

It’s also rare for a 12-weeker to be in the A list for that long. Normally a 12-weeker started with the C list or B list. Can’t remember whether George Ezra did it before.
