February 27Feb 27 Author Alex Warren's first time going straight to A-list, we love to see it *.* certainly warren-ted! It's a shame they're reluctant to move Leigh-Anne up to the B-list, especially on album release week.I'm surprised they haven't added Lana's new one, maybe it's just too weird for them :/There's a mammoth 17 songs on the A-list this week (two more than usual), not sure if it's intentional, or maybe 'Opalite' and/or 'Midnight Sun' were supposed to be removed?
February 27Feb 27 Great to see RAYE and Alex Warren both straight on the A List. RAYE's song sounded fabulous when it was played on the Breakfast Show just now.A pleasant surprise to see December 10's debut single, that one is really growing on me.Ella Langley has defied the odds, but they had been spot playing it so it isn't a complete surprise in the end.I like the FISHER track but didn't expect it to be added. There are some much stronger dance tracks around from the likes of John Summit, Kygo and Tiesto that probably could've been there instead.2 minutes ago, Mangø said:There's a mammoth 17 songs on the A-list this week (two more than usual), not sure if it's intentional, or maybe 'Opalite' and/or 'Midnight Sun' were supposed to be removed?Zara has been played on both shows this morning so Midnight Sun is definitely still there. Opalite has also been played once.

February 27Feb 27 Glad they have added Ella Langley, I could imagine it being one that stalls on B or something but I didn't think they'd be ignoring it entirely. Also woo for Milky on A and Bella and Danny up to B.Heard the Alex song on Radio 1 this morning. It is certainly one of the songs of all time.
February 27Feb 27 It was around this time last year that they started messing around with the number of songs on the playlist. Went from 15/15/12 to 15/14/10 - though I think at one point the C-list dropped to just 7 songs.
February 27Feb 27 Glad to see Alex Warren and Raye insta added! I hope they both do well chart wise!Also like December 10, FISHER, think ive not heard the rest or I dont know If I like some.Why is December 10 before Charllote Day Wilson?

February 27Feb 27 a little shocked katseye are already off after just a couple weeks on a list, gutted for madison beer and sasha keable cos they were such celebrated adds and only lasted 5 weeks :(however super happy Raye and Ella are on
February 27Feb 27 10 songs on the A List began their playlist life there - must be a record surely for R1?

February 28Feb 28 Shame December 10 added now just as there about to move onto their next one next week

I haven't thought about that Ruby Amanfu song since 2003, just listening to it now, only 29,000 streams on Spotify. The song was fairly heavily pushed at the time and just crept into the top 40. I didn't realise Radio 1 gave it good playlisting too.I need to check that Zero 7 N.E.R.D remix, I can't recall that but sounds an interesting prospect.
March 3Mar 3 The playlist was so huge and diverse back then! Artists like Placebo, Massive Attack. Ok Go, The Coral, The Music, Ruby Amanfu, Maloko I could go on!
