March 20Mar 20 Author Disappointing but kinda expected that 'Two Hearts' is off already.Could really do without that trashy MEEK song coming for a playlist spot FFS 🙄I wonder what they'll do with RAYE now that 'Click Clack Symphony' is out but 'Nightingale Lane' hasn't been long on the playlist. Maybe a double playlisting next week?Surprised that Dermot's been A-listed after all those weeks on the B-list but I do like the song.Surprised also that Louis has bagged himself an 8th week on the playlist despite 'Imposter' not translating into any sort of a hit. Disappointing that it hasn't, if Sombr had released the same song it would have been a top 10 smash! Edited March 20Mar 20 by Mangø
March 20Mar 20 Pleased to see some insta adds this week!Glad to see adds for Arlo Parks, Holly Humberstone and Sienna Spiro
March 20Mar 20 Pleased to see Arlo Parks added too! I've continued to enjoy her more electronic genre shift this era.
March 20Mar 20 They will most likely playlist tracks from the Raye album next week and playlist whatever takes off from it/the focus track. Agree on your thoughts on 'Imposter' Mango - it's really grown on me and is my favourite current track from the former One-D's so happy to see it remain on the playlist for another week. Great to see ANOTR on - such a summery anthem that! Otherwise not much else of interest for me this week.
March 20Mar 20 I just said last week that the B-list seems rigid at 14 songs, and here it is at 15 this week! Also A-list back up to 16, wonder why they’re being so flexible at the moment?Shame ‘To Love Somebody’ is gone but great to see ‘Cruel World’ replacing it. I do prefer the former though. Enjoying that ANOTR tune.

March 20Mar 20 It feels like they’ve had so many songs straight to the A List this year? It almost feels like every single week!A shame not to see Gorillaz and Rosalia move up but good adds for ANOTR and Tom Misch!

It almost feels like every single week!Not including 'Tracks From' or Live Lounge performances, they've had 12 straight to A-list this year and this is the 12th week of the year so yep one a week on average!Though in comparison there were 43 last year (again with the same exclusions) so it's not far off the same rate.
March 20Mar 20 I love that ANOTR tune sounds great in the sun! Big fan of MEEK too. Shame to see Danny/Dua off so soon when that awful Dermot Kennedy song has just made the A-list. Edited March 20Mar 20 by James.

March 20Mar 20 I mean, that wouldn’t get rid of her She’s been the longest runner on Radio 1 playlists for the majority of this year, across Stateside and Midnight Sun.

I reckon they were only playing around 2/3rd’s the number of tracks as normal because of Greg’s challenge (and even fewer on some shows such as the breakfast show)
March 21Mar 21 also worth noting they are now playing some former a listers of this year now. ‘Internet Girl’ and ‘Opalite’ have both returned over the last couple days
