March 17Mar 17 Just to keeping an eye on 'Satisfaction Skank' plays and it appears to have been played twice today - once on early breakfast and once with Ricki Melvin and Charlie. That's in addition to 2 plays yesterday so is getting the eqivelant rotation to a B List so it seems.
March 17Mar 17 Yeah I heard Satisfaction Skank again today when I was out and about in Thorne 'meeting' Greg James for five seconds. Feels like it definitely could be on the playlist already and they forgot to make it official, heard it loads now. I shouted 'DOUBLE! BIKE!' referring to his tandem, he laughed and shouted back 'WA-HEY!'.Think Matt and Mollie's Track of the Week is Sue Me by Audrey Hobert, unless she's only Future Artist of the Month and not both!

March 17Mar 17 When they played Audrey Hobert this morning it was as Future Artist of the Month. It's very likely that with the focus being on Greg this week that they just decided not to have one.
March 17Mar 17 off topic but adding to the “satisfaction skank” playlist convo. I caught sam and danni playing ‘Fabulous’ by MEEK. i know this was dean’s totw a couple weeks back so are they finally getting around to it?
March 17Mar 17 I don’t know if it just isn’t appearing but ‘Orange County’ hasn’t appeared at all this week sadly and ‘Berghain’ has only been played twice!I wonder if it’s just the challenge removing a lot of potential plays for the C List tracks?

March 17Mar 17 I heard Orange County on there this morning/lunchtime! I know not all the plays get 'logged'. It was definitely on though. Edited March 17Mar 17 by HiyaLuv!

March 18Mar 18 If ‘Satisfaction Skank’ gets a power into, that’s normally a sign it’s on the B-list. But the B-list seems pretty rigid at 14 songs, so I’m guessing it’s just getting high spot plays due to Big Weekend.Also, how epic is that FISHER tune?! Would love them to A-list it - I don’t think he’s been A-listed before?

It’s not showing on BBC Sounds when being played.

Anyway, that certainly blows my theory that only A-list songs become recurrents out of the water. 19 hours ago, lewistgreen said:Radio 1 hasn't cared about hit making for many yearsLots of things that don't chart are big 'hits' with the listeners.There are songs that don't get anywhere near the Top 40 or even the Top 100 and I don't even notice because Radio 1 like them so much!

I'm gonna get ahead of the R1 curve and start streaming it incessantly.And then someone who has nothing to do with it can apologise on my behalf. Edited March 18Mar 18 by HiyaLuv!

Berghain only 2.Other notes:Expecting new adds next week for Violet Grohl, Bebe Rexha, Sienna Spiro, MEEK and potentially a double playlisting of RAYE? harry, dermot, mitski and possibly charli may be leaving next week.Now as for the hot recurrents, this is generally what we’ve got without reaches:Bruno Mars - I Just MightOlivia Dean - Man I NeedOlivia Dean - Nice To Each OtherOlivia Dean - So EasyPinkPantheress x Zara Larsson - StatesideSam Fender x Olivia Dean - Rein Me Inthese songs have had 7 plays throughout the week, meaning they were hypothetically played at least once each day. Rein Me In had 14 👀
March 20Mar 20 Greg's (or Matt & Mollie's as they are covering) tune of the week is Mumford & Sons/Gracie Abrams, just heard it being played now x
