Radio 1 Playlist (09/01/26): Internet girl, get up off the treadmill and play the banjo song

Featured Replies

Re the debate about official singles, it’s so hard to know as Djo End of the Begining wasn’t a single from its album at first.

  • yea it’s quite rare tbf.. it happened to Lisa’s ‘Born Again’ just last year but that’s the only recent example i can think of

  • or because they just realised it was mega cringe

    My rule of thumb is that Radio 1 will be backing the big artists and won't actively snub singles from them. Radio 2 work similarly - they don't playlist non-singles away from "tracks from album x". C

I'm so glad they're supporting this. From what I remember last time they only supported 'Missing U' and didn't bother with anything else?

(Might be mistaken, it was a many years ago)

'Honey' as well as 'Missing You', but both stalled on the B-list. God knows when she was last A-listed! (apart from that song she featured on with Jamie xx a couple of years ago)

Even if it's B-list, I'm just so incredibly happy she's on there at all after all these years.

Decided to do some digging. Could've sworn Do It Again was playlisted in 2014 but turns out it wasn't. Call Your Girlfriend only got as far as the B List. That means Robyn's last appearance on the A List was with Dancing On My Own in 2010! (Hang With Me was also B List).

damn! Dopamine really was a ground breaking one for her then.

anyways off topic but kinda not what’s the status on harry’s playlisting as we’re expecting a new song soon ig. I know of the big ones (adore you, sign of times, as it was etc.), kiwi, satellite.

But were his lesser known singles (aka):

Treat People With Kindness

Fine Line

Two Ghosts

were any of these on?

Two Ghosts made the A List in 2017.

Treat People With Kindness did not make the Radio 1 playlist but did go onto Radio 2's.

Fine Line was not a single in the UK so wasn't added.

ah. Tho luckily fine line is on R1 Anthems (mixed with Sabrina’s ‘bad for business’ of all songs (love it so much but damn it’s an out there pick) and gr*c*e abr*ms), was wondering about Treat People With Kindness but it did pick up a few plays… i did look and saw ‘Love Of My Life’ got a fair amount of plays too?

Dave feat. Tems - Raindance and EsDeeKid - Century both dropped off this last playlist update on Friday, but they’ve been played more or less every daytime show since. What’s the usual timeframe for them not getting regular airtime?

Is it my eyes or is the font in your post faded?

It’s not normal for recurrents to get played still on every daytime show though?

It's not every show though. Yesterday Raindance was played 3 times and today it was only twice. Daytime runs from Early Breakfast to Going Home and Radio 1 don't usually just dump A List tracks without playing them again for weeks they lower the rotation gradually instead. Century is a quick and easy play to fill a sub 2 minute gap and so might be on a slightly higher recurrent rotation as a result.

Century does seem to have been played an awful lot though - 5 times Monday and Tuesday and 4 times yesterday, but I wonder whether that's more a reflection of it being taken off the playlist seemingly too early rather than anything else.

Yeh they are both in the top 40 still which maybe explains the continued plays and there are songs which don’t get played much at all around 5-6 days after removal.
