Massive playlist, today's stingy four adds seem even more ludicrous looking at that.

There is SO much daytime R1-friendly stuff about, loads of catchy stuff across the specialist shows so not sure what they're playing at!

Pleasantly surprised to see Slayyyter on the A-list for the 5th week, even if their edit of the song only has half the song (and misses out the second chorus which is the best bit).

Have you heard Capital's edit of Ain't In LA? It's worse than this.

its not like there isnt PLENTY of new releases for them to add, these all could work so well on Radio 1:

Becky Hill - Changes

CHVRCHES - Roses

FLO - Remedied or Pose (ft. Juicy J)

Holly Humberstone - Too Cute To Be Lonely

Jamie T - 3310 or Tallahassee

LISA - SaWaDiKa

MNEK - MUSCLE MARYS..

Rachel Chinouriri - Broken chair or Make believe

ROLE MODEL - Joy

Rose Gray - atp literally anything i’ll take it

Say Now - Met My Match

Teddy Swims - Perfect Man

The Kid LAROI - SLEEP

Zara Larsson - Blue Moon (about damn time we can start to say this )

i’ll also mention Bebe Rexha has a new single about now so that could also work and i completely forgot Shygirl was in era so her too!

1tro talk but uhm go listen to Patient Zero’s one, its HORRIBLE. Edit is also terrible cos they went Verse 1 - Chorus - that godawful Bridge - Chorus. Patient Zero i’m so sorry you didn’t deserve this

Remember The Music, is that their only A Listed song?

Lose My Breath & Just Lose It building up to that huge first week of November no1 battle. It was very unusual at this time to not add all songs to the C List!

all i know here. not a lot this time! not heard ‘Just Be’ and ‘My Prerogative’ in a while (5-6 years?) but still can def verify i have heard them unlike some of the others

Love how Ian Brown was still hanging in with the C List entries.

Tune Of The Weeks:

Mylo + Rosie: Anderson .Paak x Cordae - A Good Day

Greg James: GENER8ION x Yung Lean - Storm

Charlie + Jerry: Sasha Keable - options

Matt + Mollie: Freya Skye - bad taste

Katie + Emil: Jungle - Sunshine

For some reason when I stream Innocent Smile by Skepta, Suggs and Jason Status (little in-joke with myself), it now shows up with the title 'Track' (obviously featuring the afore-mentioned guest stars).

Please tell me I've not gone completely insane and that's happening for other people too.

Comes up as 'Track' on last.fm too, which could really mess up the stats I need for my personal chart.

I know Austin turned into Austin (Boots Stop Workin') a few weeks in and there was that George Ezra one too but changing the title completely really is a new one on me!

Same for me! That's so weird, the song doesn't mention Track at all?

maybe they messed it up when they added the presave for his new album and changed it to a placeholder track name? it's not listed on the tracklist on the presave but I'd be surprised if he didn't include it. the title's not broken on Apple Music or YouTube but it is on Spotify for some reason so I don't think it's a deliberate change
