Because it wasn't an official single.


People do have a lot of trouble telling the difference between official and promo/buzz singles these days!

Wikipedia makes matters worse as anyone can edit it.

If it wasn't on the radio lots of times and wasn't promoted heavily, chances are it wasn't a real bloody single!

I admit that it can get confusing when Crapital/Jack Saunders play things that were clearly meant to be buzz tracks or when mid-2020s Now That's What I Call Music put Lola Young/Lewis Capaldi album/EP tracks on their compilations to make their 50p budget go further.

Yeah it is very hard! I just take the assumption that anything that gets very heavy daytime radio play is a single.

R1 isn't that much of a "youth" station listener-wise in 2026 and it doesn't feel like they even pretend it is anymore, I frequently hear voice notes on there from people who say they're on their way to pick up their grandkids etc so God knows where that 15-29 nonsense fits into this. That age range was put in place at a time when pop culture worked completely differently and when there was a clear generational gap when it came to music.

Yeah the 15-29 target audience thing is very strange. Especially when, currently, only 2 daytime presenters fit into that age range. They are Sam and Danni.

From September, 5 presenters will fit into that age range. They will be Jerry, GK Barry, Charley, Sam and Danni.

Tune Of The Weeks:

Dean McCullough: RAYE x Amma x Absolutely - Joy.

Sam & Danni: Rose Gray - Just Be Bodies

Rickie/Melvin/Charlie: Jorja Smith - I Lied, You Lied

Matt & Jerry: ANOTR x Emily Warren - Silver Lines

James Cusack: MUNA - Eastside Girls

THE KEEN HOUSEHOLD + 4 BANGERS cheeseblock

For the subtitle I imagine Craig Revel Horwood saying 'daunce, daunce, daunce'.

Anyone else feel like Jorja Smith's recent output is boring?

Name a tune he would’ve chosen if he was still there

For me - maybe something new from Pheobe Bridgers or Troye Sivan

Oh my god Rose Gray!

I actually prefer ‘Just Be Bodies’ to ‘Club To Your Arms’ so would love to see it added.

well “I declare and I decree” that we should all be very keen about this ;)

Is this the first time Rose Gray has had any tangible support?

I know she's very much on the sidelines of the pop world but I'd so love for her to have a chart hit one day.

since she’s got a little bit “big”, yes. they did actually playlist some of her songs when she wasn’t as popular tho

They playlisted 'Prettier Than You' in 2022 and 'Girls' (with TSHA) in 2024

She sounds like the sort of artist who has been in the top 40 before as a feature, a bit like RAYE pre 2020s.

Oh I know, just meant she seems like someone who would have had a feature.

A chart hit feels incoming for her. I wouldn't say she's "on the sidelines of the pop world" she is signed to a big label and makes chart and radio-friendly dance-pop music, similar to the likes of Charli xcx and PinkPantheress who have had chart and critical success recently.
