May 1May 1 Author I thought R1 had hung up their boots on Madonna's music and it was always gonna be borderline whether they were gonna open their hearts to her and give her one more chance, but she's clearly back in vogue with them, no longer frozen out. It's a day I'll remember and cherish forever. Definitely cause for celebration!
May 1May 1 A-list back up to 17. Some very premature removals this week.Ewan McVicar coming to do a Diplo…
May 1May 1 Oh some amazing additions this week - Mitski's 'I'll Change For You' and Slayyyter's 'BRITTANY MURPHY.' are both gorgeous songs 🤩delighted that this era has raised the latter's profile as it's easily her best album to date for me
May 1May 1 Just realised it must be about 20 years now since Brittany Murphy herself was on the Radio 1 playlist as a feature on Oakenfold's 'Faster Kill Pussycat', tune ❤️

Definitely cause for celebration!I did wonder whether it was a coincidental reference when I read "borderline" before the rest of it What a time to be alive though, everything about this is shaping up to be big! 🙏Yaaaay for the Slayyyter add too, one of the best from a very good album.

They must have playlisted 'Celebration' too I'm guessing? I do remember it hearing it on R1 back in the day.

May 1May 1 36 minutes ago, RobBot said:Midnight Sun being back after about 14 weeks on the playlist before is iconic 😂And completely unnecessary. The past few years, the playlisting of Big Weekend artists has been getting more and more over the top. For example, last year you had Tom Grennan getting instant A-list adds for the first time.That’ll by why Ewan McVicar is still on here, and I expect him to remain next week before getting another couple weeks on the Big Weekend playlist. Same goes for Sonny Fodera and Holly Humberstone - both of which I’d ordinarily expect to be removed next week.

May 1May 1 Just now, Sour Candy said:Sabrina is with Madonna?i just mentioned the lead artist, did the same for zara and pink were i just mentioned zara
May 1May 1 Cool to see Slayyyter being added but not personally that big on this particular song, if only 'DANCE...' had been added.Good adds for Florence Road and Mitski though <3 (and lol at 'Midnight Sun' getting added once again, coming to be the longest playlisted song of all time between its 3 spells on there?)44 minutes ago, Mangø said:It is pretty wild to see her playlisted in 2026 We're reliably informed by The Sun that she hasn't been playlisted by R1 for 18 years, so that would make it the Hard Candy era, with MDNA onwards being snubbed, which sounds about right.

I do remember it hearing it on R1 back in the day.They did playlist 'Popular' (as I remember well from a certain member being adamant they wouldn't) so that's not quite true x
May 1May 1 Why have they decided to playlist Midnight Sun again?! I thought Eurosummer was being pushed from the remix album!
