i hate how buzz is gonna have it’s first update after 3 weeks. At least with FM we can tell what’s been added (with sources like online radio box), buzz just isn’t rotating. Anyways internet girl will be replacing m.i.a. on buzz calling it RIGHT NOW, not 100% about replacing gabriela on FM tho

If ‘Internet Girl’ becomes a hit FM will probably playlist it, I’m not sure KATSEYE are popular enough for an insta-add.

Chanel has finally been played this evening

tbf with buzz nothing new worthwhile has been released the past two weeks other than christmas songs. a playlist freeze makes sense

They were always going to support Tyla, they still play ‘Water’ a lot and ‘CHANEL’ is likely to become a big hit.

They played Push 2 Start in the past too

If that’s the case maybe Bandaids, Mature, Madeline and Dopamine can end up here (aka Hillary Duff, Katy Perry, Lily Allen and Robyn)

Madeline needs to go viral or start to regain success in order to get on fm, the others need a miracle

anyways it’s jan 2nd now fm shouldve updated 😭

alessi and tate (nobody’s girl) got pulled off the playlist now but once again no website update in sight

also, no dave add

edit: when did you get hot? has been pulled, looks like house tour is gonna get rinsed

Edited Saturday at 17:175 days by J4Y

Maybe Dave was only here to support it being in the top 40 tomorrow. I think we’re also getting more new additions with KATSEYE, Nick Jonas and Tyla next week

Edited Saturday at 17:345 days by Sami Hook Jama

Global have always been known to not keep the website accurate. They’ll probably just update it on Monday.

I’m intrigued to know how FM will support Alessi Rose and Rose Gray (Capital Buzz artists at JBB). Part of me thinks they’ll support their new stuff so the public think the slot at JBB made them really popular or they’re not going support them until they have a hit.

It seems I was right as Dave is a re-entry and is still on the playlist. Now that she has 4 songs in the chart, Olivia Dean has to really be added this week to Capital & Heart. Nice to see Djo, Prince, Gregory Porter, Sabrina Carpenter, Gracie Abrams, James Marriott and Tyla here though

seeing as kiss is supporting first original thought too it looks as if alessi is like a “one to watch” artist for 2026 in their eyes and they wanted to keep it around for as long as they could

They just played Nobody’s Girl tonight

possibly a stray early recurrent play or they are retesting it? maybe an accidental removal?
