August 16Aug 16 Author Thanks to @Jay79x for posting this last week. If someone could post it again next week, it would be much appreciated as I'm away again. Good to see Madonna/Kylie added and pleasantly surprised to see Carly on there as well!
August 18Aug 18 It's a shame they decided to pass on Natalie Imbruglia's 'Just Drive', especially considering its premiere on the Breakfast Show. It feels like such a great track for R2. Well, the first fully independent era always comes with its challenges ($$$$)
