Why don't they just officially add Dai Dai? It's obviously on very heavy rotation.

It's on every time I tune in!

Wonder if there's any chance of MadgeKylie getting on next week.

I haven’t been keeping up but assume Dai Dai is a hot recurrent as it’s in the top 5.

I can kinda understand Calvin and Harry’s songs being on there for quite a while due to the coverage for Calvin’s homecoming in Hampden last week (which was on bbc) and for the latter he’s one of the biggest pop stars in the world at the moment with one of the years biggest new albums so makes sense to playlist his singles for a long time.

Can't be a recurrent if it was never playlisted in the first place!

Not seeing it on the playlist is making my teeth itch but that's just how my spicy brain works.

22 plays in the past week!

Anyway I've put it in the A-list section of my Spotify version of the R1 Playlist to reflect its real-world amount of airtime.

Thanks to everyone who has been posting the playlist in my absence. I'm now very much tanned and very much back!

Don't know why that Harry Styles flop needs to be on the A-list for this long. Calvin also needs to be ditched. I would say I'm hoping for some good new additions next week but there really doesn't seem to be much good new music around at the minute...


Satisfy was better when it was called 'Finally', 34 years ago.

Tell me about it - I think it might be one of his worst songs ever.

I think there might be a small chance tbh

Slayyyter it Tune of the Week on R1 breakfast <3

When something is already on the C list, does the tune of the week count as there (usually once a day) play of the day, or is it additionally? I think I remember in the past it being like an additional play and they got similar to B-list playlisting playlisting .

Sorry my bad, meant a song which gets spot plays rather than recurrent. Jaysus 22 plays is A List rotation for it!

Oddly enough "Breathe" was never added to the Radio 1 playlist even when it hit #1, although it did get played sometimes.

Are you talking about the Jaimeson song or the Jason Nevins song as being very Sugababes vocally?

Of course ('Stay With Me') - I blame OCC's non-crediting for missing that one!

This must have been a rare week in 2003 when Justin Timberlake wasn't playlisted too.

This must have been a rare week in 2003 when Justin Timberlake wasn't playlisted too.

And he still technically was, as "Where Is the Love?" was there

That 2003 playlist reminds me what a headstart on radio White Flag had over Where Is The Love. Such a shame they came out the same week so Dido didn't get a No.1.

This was just a few weeks before I started college, I was in the weird no man's land summer holiday between finishing school and starting college (and working my first job that summer), so many songs here remind me of working in Asda and hearing them played in there (Beyoncé, Deepest Blue, Jaimeson), while a few others moving up the playlist ahead of release remind me of my first few weeks at college (Dido, Black Eyed Peas, Christina/Lil' Kim).

It also feels notably 'cooler' than the 1999 playlist recently posted when you look at the list of songs that weren't playlisted, so some time between 1999 and 2003 Radio 1 decided to dial down the cheesier and more fun stuff somewhat.

I do remember Breathe feeling like it came a bit out of nowhere to No.1 so it figures that Radio 1 weren't playlisting it.
