Not sure what to make of the new Charli XCX, sounds like a bit of a racket. It was always gonna go straight to A-list though!

'Sunflowers' is a nice post-album single from Louis but I'm surprised they didn't add Harry this week with the 'Dance No More' video being released yesterday.

Also no Calvin x Jazzy is very surprising, they must have known it was coming?!

'Doesn't Just Happen' <3

Thought they would have swapped Noah Kahan with Doors.

Bit of a surprise not to see Calvin x Jazzy. Will no doubt be added next week but will do well on airplay from the dance shows this weekend. Wonder if they held off from an insta add due to the under performance of Ocean and Release The Pressure? Or just could have been submitted too late for the playlist meeting this week.

I wish they’d prioritise one of the other two songs from The Devil Wears Prada 2 for Lady Gaga. Both are better than Runway for me.

They didn’t insta add ‘Blessings’ which came out on the equivalent weekend last year. It was added straight to the B-list after the Big Weekend playlist (which I’m assuming will be a thing again from next week).

Very surprised they haven’t moved Disclosure up - it’s the best thing they’ve done in ages!

they can keep that terrible stella lefty song ew. also bebe stuck on c list ;-;

They're both definitely way superior, although I can kind of see why they went with 'Runway'

Yeah me too, I can see why they did. As long as she gets even a small hit I’ll be happy.

R1 being cautious about playlisting Calvin after Release the Pressure flopped perhaps? a bit shocking regardless but I still expect it’ll eventually make it

'Blessings' immediately followed that one about smoking which was an even bigger flop (and I genuinely thought that was the beginning of the end for him)

If Charli wanted to go a different direction to dance music, I would've rather she made an album like Wuthering Heights just not for a movie, something that really showcases her vocal talent. Rock Music is pretty mid. Nice to see CMAT A-listed and Sonny Fodera/Chrystal as longest runner. Happy that FISHER/Tones And I, Maisie Peters/Julia Michaels and Wasia Project B-listed (I LOVE 2515). Haven't heard Elmiene, Louis Tomlinson or Myles Smith yet (though judging by the reaction to the latter in the album thread it's gonna be good), happy James Blake/Dave is FINALLY added and STELLA LEFTY is alright. Quite disappointed that Bebe Rexha/Faithless and Disclosure are stalling on the C-list. There might be a chance they didn't know about Calvin Harris/Jazzy but if they are going to add it, it'll be on the 29th May as the Big Weekend playlist is likely coming into effect next week.

I was hoping that awful Charli song wasn't a single and just a little tease heading into a big song announcement...oh dear.

we’re back in the era of solid 1tros now! they absolutely ate down with the ‘2515’ 1tro!
