A bit underwhelming on first listen but Something Beautiful took a good few listens to grow on me so I'm not writing it off just yet. The production is great though. I think 'Let's Get Married' and 'Redlights' were the only two that instantly stood out.

Tbh I will probably extend it a day

When I explain the answer I don't think it will be that tenuous but we'll see!

You have the rest of the weekend to get your answers in folks!

That last part is TMI tbh

And the problem with that is...?

Not even totally sure that would've been playlisted (@Sempachorra can probably confirm)

Hi Seltin! Don't get your hopes up for Slayyyter, I'm not really getting into it :/ Ashe on the other hand is going to SMASH! Carly should go top 10 fingers crossed but I think Katy's climbed as high as she's going to! Thanks

Yeah that is a fair point about low sales. I'm #teamdua this week then, and #teamashe the following week!

Vengaboys? Nah he's not that classy

Can't see Dua going to #1 but we live in hope. What are the chances of Ashe getting there in the next couple of weeks, hopefully that's a possibility?

Well I'm suspecting you for Bananarama - cheap basic pop!

Yeah I've got dandy* down as Kate Bush and Rollo for Gary Numan.

Bit of a banger this! (9) ROSÉ - new trick (OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO) - YouTube (don't know why the video isn't embedding, any chance a mod can sort this pls?)

Presumably you're going to disregard all voters who have put HRVY 12th, right?

But how do you know it wasn't A-listed subsequently?

"Cancelled" is a bit dramatic. He'll probably drop off a little I'd say. It will be interesting to see how much of an impact it actually has on his career long term (if any).

They used to dual playlist loads! It's a bit less common lately but it still happens. Would definitely make sense for ADÉLA and also Miley but I doubt they will.

Love seeing the random obscure names on the C-list that I have no memory of! Who are Talisman P and K2 Family?!

I caught a bit of 'How Bad Do U Want Me' on R1 earlier - any idea what caused Greg to play a Gaga album track?!

Suggs on the playlist in 2026 Don't know what their obsession is with Sombr although I love the song so I'm here for it. Also wasn't expecting Rosé to be insta-added but it is a bit of a banger tbh!

Lol @Spiceboy's first answer to that was something similar
