Jack is very much a supporter of this Danny L Harle era so I had hoped it would cross over into daytime. Starlight would definitely have worked!

considering pinkpantheress is on that one i’m surprised it didn’t. she’s literally the R1 poster child

On Danny L Harle, ‘Crystallise My Tears’ was Hottest Record in November so hopefully there is some playlist support for the album coming up.

Though saying that, Gorillaz have had a few Hottest Records the past year and I don’t think any were playlisted.

Feels ludicrous that Gorillaz don't get any daytime play considering the number of Hottest Records and all the Jack hype they get. Doesn't really make any sense.

Cool enough for 6:05pm but not 5:05pm!

Can only presume it's because they're a "heritage act" now.

How they being ageist to cartoons?

I imagine they weren't too enthusiastic about playing a song about a "dictator" in the middle of the day? Also it features Sparks who are granddad age so potential ageism there

In any case, it's good to see an act who were last playlisted in 2010 get regular Hottest Records!

Teatime play is better than nothing!

Yeh they normally give HR status to some continued cool heritage acts like Gorillaz and Liam Gallagher.

i’d guess so. With the expected add for Harry, i can’t imagine much else new material will drop so yea they’d probably get on ‘Talk To Me’ now, alongside ‘2SIDED’ and maybe ‘Most Wanted’ if we’re unlucky

edit: i’d love some madison beer on here too but they’ve really strayed away from her, we haven’t seen her on since Make You Mine iirc?

Yep a short while since Madison has been on the playlist but they still play her on Future Pop

Yeah the recent Madison snub is an odd one, she's the sort of artist they'd usually be all over

They played yes baby and bittersweet a few times on daytime but it was not on the playlist. Odd though
