I’m putting it in last weeks one as they are from last weeks playlist days/shows.

I plan to do a final analysis of the Christmas songs on R1 at the end of December to see what they are playing most these days.

Here's a little quiz for you all.

Calvin Harris, Ed Sheeran and Taylor Swift have been the three most prolific acts on R1's playlist over the last 15 years and have amassed, between them, a staggering 105 tracks on the playlist since I started tracking it in 2012. None of the three have had a single song stall on the C-list in all that time.

Calvin has had 37 entries on the playlist, of which 34 made the A-list.

Ed has had 34 entries on the playlist, of which 31 made the A-list.

Taylor has had 34 entries on the playlist, of which 30 made the A-list.

(These are all as lead artist only and remember they are only since the start of 2012)

Can you name, without looking anything up, the 3 Calvin tracks, the 3 Ed tracks and the 4 Taylor tracks which only made the B-list?

And then, can you also name the two acts who make up the rest of the top five, with 30 and 28 tracks respectively appearing on the playlist since 2012?

Go!

adding to the taylor club, ‘The Story Of Us’ stalled at B Tier in 2011 but that might be it for her. I don’t track the other two
