Guessing that’s with either ‘softly’ or ‘drive’

I’ve got into that Glass Animals song in the last few days so glad to see it up to the A-list. Shame salute doesn’t climb today with his album out but a fourth week on the B-list is still good going. I’m surprised they still haven’t added John Summit/Sub Focus. Especially with Summit’s album out today. If it’s not added next week I’ll give up hope altogether. I expected Charli XCX to stay another week or two, same goes for Sonny Fodera. Though there wasn’t much choice when looking at the playlist runs. I reckon ‘MILLION DOLLAR BABY’ will go next week with ‘DEVIL IS A LIE’ added to the C-list.

‘lift off’ is indeed great. It’s hottest record tonight on Radio 1. I’ve given the album two listens and it’s as amazing as I was expecting. ‘reason’, ‘go!’ and ‘one of those nights’ are the standouts from the new tracks.

+12 - Salute x Rina Sawayama - Saving Flowers +10 - Disclosure - She's Gone, Dance On +8 - TSHA x Rose Gray - Girls +7 - Peggy Gou - 1+1=11 +6 - Tove Lo x SG Lewis - HEAT +5 - Peggy Gou - Back To One +4 - Ben Hemsley x Chenai - Closer +3 - Dimension x Alison Wonderland - Satellite +2 - John Summit x Sub Focus x Julia Church - Go Back +1 - Becky Hill x Self Esteem - True Colours

I really can’t wait for this to drop on Friday. I’ve got a new found love for ‘saving flowers’ after hearing it a fair bit on Radio 1 recently.

Great to see the dance songs climb to the A-list. I’m pretty sure Jamie xx will join soon too. I could just about understand Dua staying on last week for Glastonbury, but it’s getting silly now.

That Dimension track is a tune. Apart from Dua, it’s hard to call which other song(s) will be dropped from the A-list next week but I’m hoping Disclosure and salute can climb.

This is so so good! Sounds big too so fingers crossed it does well for him.

Oh I like this a lot. Reminds me of ‘Talk About’

I’m obsessed with this

I say ‘already’, he was on the Big Weekend playlist so was played for seven weeks. Also explains the short runs for AJ Tracey, Alfie Templeman and Mabel.

Yay salute moving up. Some great dance songs on the B-list. Lol at Diplo going already - should never have been A-listed to begin with.

Despite the squeaky vocal, I quite like this

‘luv stuck’ with piri out at midnight

‘Girls’ took a couple of listens but good lord it’s brilliant

Hopefully it advances past the C-list - his two songs to make the playlist so far haven’t. I think ‘system’ is still my favourite from the album so far but all three songs are great. Looks like there will be another song coming this week too going by the descripton of Jack Saunders’ show on Thursday.

Great week for dance tracks! All four of the new additions are great and Wilkinson escapes the C-list. If only salute moved up too. Aitch was also on the Big Weekend playlist so that adds another two weeks on to his playlist run and I’m assuming he was on A-list rotation during those two weeks. Taylor is a little more surprising, but the song has been out for two months now so perhaps they thought it was best to move on, despite only being played on A-list rotation for six of those weeks. But really you’d think Hozier and Dua Lipa would be in line to go first.

He’s announced that he’ll announce the release date on Monday

He had been teasing a feature but appears he’s doing it solo. It’s doing quite well on TikTok so fingers crossed it’s big for him as the snippet sounds great.

Their collab with 070 Shake sounds great when they eventually get around to releasing that. This one is a bit meh on first listen.

I take it back, that’s why I’m not on the playlist team…

Oh I didn’t think Sabrina was a big enough name yet to warrant such a thing. Though I didn’t think she warranted an inta B-list add and they were proved right with that.

There’s a lot of short runners on the playlist at the moment so there will be songs that have strange runs such as Beyoncé. Really don’t see the need to A-list Diplo with a very unimaginative song. Yay for salute! The album is still five weeks away so hoping ‘saving flowers’ survives that long and gets him his first B-list position.

‘saving flowers’ has been playlisted by Radio 1.

From the previews this sounds really epic. Expecting it to be huge as well with the hype that’s been building since the Brits.
