Amazing to see 'Acquiesce' finally become a chart hit, and top 20 at that! Shame they couldn't get the top 3 albums, damn you Sabrina. It's quite sad to see Be Here Now enter so low down in the top 100, I know it's not as well regarded as the first two albums but it still contains three huge hit singles.

Yeah, 'Bros' was the first song playlisted by R1, back in 2013 - I couldn't name more than about 4 others!

Radio X Playlist | as at 11/07/25 Biffy Clyro - A Little Love [5] Blossoms - The Honeymoon [12] * Foo Fighters - Today's Song [1] Haim - Down To Be Wrong [2] Mumford & Sons - Rushmere [25] Mumford & Sons - Caroline [10] Pulp - Spike Island [12] Pulp - Got To Have Love [5] Richard Ashcroft - Lover [8] Sam Fender & Olivia Dean - Rein Me In [3] Sombr - Undressed [12] The Wombats - Can't Say No [24] Wet Leg - Catch These Fists [15] Wolf Alice - Bloom Baby Bloom [6] OUT: Sam Fender - Little Bit Closer [14]

Incredibly this is Wolf Alice's 19th entry on the R1 playlist! I didn't realise just how long they've been going.

I forgot they were credited on that tbf, but when I searched my spreadsheet they didn't come up so Radio 1 at least didn't credit them on the playlisting of B.O.T.A.

I thought 'Swag' was the single? Does either track have an official video, do you know?

Bit of a yawnfest again this week. I'm surprised they added that Zara Larsson single when they didn't playlist the last one (which was much better!)

Wow it's been a while since anyone dropped a surprise album! Exciting times

Hey James! 'Sapphire' is great, this is a really good run of singles from Ed, hopefully the quality of the album matches up to them. I actually haven't listened to the Jade version of 'Boy Crazy' yet, I probably should! Yeah I'm really enjoying 'Dior' and wouldn't mind it being #1. I agree though, I doubt it will be there for too long. Cheers Thank you Sergej

Hmmm, I mean it's not a bad cover at all but still far from her best and not something I'd particularly seek out to listen to!

That's a good one, but I'd say my faves are probably 2 Faced, Beautiful Inside and Pandora's Kiss. 2000s Louise > 1990s Louise! Considering probably 75% of the members of Buzzjack are gay, I'd say most of Buzzjack knew

I voted for Ava but tbh it's the best of a very weak selection this week.

Hotly anticipated by who? I'm certainly looking forward to it but I don't think the rest of Buzzjack share our enthusiasm lol

Hey Jordan! 1. MK feat. Chrystal – Dior Oh wow you really are loving this! I can totally see why it's doing well universally, it's very catchy and summery. I think it'll be a pretty big hit on my own chart too! 3. Sombr – Undressed [9-13-3] WHAAAAT? Well this is a most unexpected but most welcome surprise! I guess something in it just re-clicked for you? 6. Addison Rae – Fame Is A Gun I had the pleasure of seeing her live a few days ago as she was supporting Lana Del Rey. She was very good and this stood out especially! 7. Tate McRae – Just Keep Watching Didn't like this at first but I have to admit it's slowly growing on me. 10. Sombr – Back To Friends [2-3-10] 13. Ed Sheeran – Azizam [10-4-13] 14. Ravyn Lenae – Love Me Not [15-3-8-14] 15. Benson Boone – Sorry I’m Here For Someone Else [22-17-37-15] The album was very disappointing, I was expecting much better based on the singles 16. Ariana Grande – Twilight Zone [1-5-16] 17. Ed Sheeran – Old Phone [7-17] 18. Benson Boone – Mystical Magical [35-18] 21. Miley Cyrus – End Of The World [6-11-21] 23. Sabrina Carpenter – Manchild 24. Lola Young – One Thing I'd say this is pretty average but at least it's given her another hit! 25. Alex Warren – Ordinary [26-11-7-9-25] 27. Alex Warren feat. Jelly Roll – Bloodline Oh yes! Now a big climb into the top ten next month please! The chorus is just SUCH a massive earworm, I still can't get enough of it 28. Max Dean, Luke Dean & Locky – Can’t Decide Hmmm, I can't decide (pun only slightly intended) whether I like this or not. 31. Ed Sheeran – Sapphire It's a big 3 out of 3 for Ed this era, if we're going by these 3 singles we're about to get his best album yet 32. Lorde – What Was That [40-15-32] 35. Tate McRae – Sports Car [15-10-19-29-35] 36. Lady Gaga – Abracadabra [1-2-4-18-36] 38. Doechii – Anxiety [24-13-17-38] Excellent stuff!
