March 7Mar 7 Just now, James. said:Random question but did R2 playlist ‘Afraid To Feel’?The LF SYSTEM track? They did not but I recall the likes of Rylan and Spoony giving it a spin on their shows.
March 9Mar 9 For many years now, the UK Eurovision Song Contest entry has always been supported by the BBC Radio 2 playlist. However, this year it would be good if they could support the Australian entry instead. Australia are represented by Delta Goodrem. Her track "Eclipse" is truly fantastic and I am sure that it would resonate very well with the Radio 2 audience. The UK entry from "Look Mum No Computer" would probably be a better fit on either the Radio 1 or Radio 6 playlists.

I'm not sure if they supported Delta's recent-ish output but I could totally see them adding 'Eclipse', regardless of whether it was a Eurovision entry or not.
March 9Mar 9 Author I am wondering what they’ll do with our Eurovision entry this year - they usually go VERY heavy on supporting it but it usually sounds very ‘radio 2.’ Now that we’ve taken more of a risk this year, I wonder how far the support will go? I can definitely still see them playlisting it but I wonder if it might ‘put off’ a few listeners?

March 9Mar 9 Delta was last on the playlist with Hearts On The Run in 2024, so they could support her Eurovision track but I don't see them choosing her over our own. As Mango says, Scott played it on breakfast so I'll eat my hat if they don't playlist Eins, Zwei, Drei (Rylan played it on Saturday too).

March 15Mar 15 Author So the week that Gorillaz gets added to R1... it gets removed from R2! Nothing much of interest for me this week, the Bruce track is a cover of The Pogues track, but not a massive fan unfortunately. Good to see immediate support for The Pussycat Dolls too, but again not a huge fan of the song.

Friday at 21:563 days Author A big clearout this week but not loads that is of interest to me. I'm glad they're supporting the new Lizzo track though, really enjoying that! Hopefully Click Clack Symphony (or whatever RAYE is pushing off that album) gets added next week
Friday at 21:593 days Lizzo is a great add. The production is so crisp and reminds me of Tina Turner songs.
Friday at 22:023 days No Bebe Rexha and Faithless on the playlist? Thought they would fit in if they have the new J Lo and Guetta song!
