Hey James! Wow Jade is properly slaying on your chart isn't she! Good to see her grab another #1 - 'Natural At Disaster' wasn't one of the immediate highlights from the album for me, but there's not really a bad track on the album! I'm hoping Taylor will be #1 next week, maybe she will hit #1 on both our charts at the same time You're so late to the 'Undressed' party that everyone has gone home but I'm still glad to see it make your top 10. Good to see both RAYE tracks enter - did 'Escapism' never chart here previously?? Good to see Rita enter too, I'm sure the track will grow on me now that it's in my chart. Good stuff

Hi Sergej! Agreed about Damiano et al! Really loving the Taylor song at the moment, it's a near certainty to be my next #1... Agreed also about Lewis and Olly. That Tame Impala song is his best for ages! Thanks Hey James! Yeah totally deserved for Taylor, can't see it missing #1! WIMH is indeed another bop from RAYE, let's hope her next single is just as good. Yeah Jade should easily score another top 10 here. 'All Natural' took a while to grab me, and I still don't think it's up there with Rita at her peak, but she certainly sounds great on it, and I'm sure it will keep growing for me. Thanks

It would be the most sensible choice - although who knows if there will even be a second single, it's not like she needs one to keep the album selling!

Well I don't like to boast about these things. It was just a quick side project while I was setting up my women's high street fashion chain!

So they don't get played on the main station at all then?

Late to the party, I just discovered this song over the weekend! What a fun bop

OMG that was so intense!! But hugely enjoyable too! Really hard to know how I did, I have no idea really, a couple of questions was pure guesswork, the rest more educated guesses. Can't wait for the results

When and how often do they actually play songs from that playlist? Do they all get at least a couple of spins each throughout the week?

This sounds intriguing! Looking forward to giving it a go. No idea how I'm gonna do on it though, but I guess neither does anyone else!

We don't know that she's not.

Good to see Louis playlisted, and I'm surprised to see Perrie pushing that song, I thought 'Cute Aggression' would have been the obvious choice. Never heard of Will Brown!

Feel free

But plenty don't too so it's inconsistent. Taking the guitar example, Slash played guitar (quite prominently) on Michael Jackson's #2 hit 'Give In To Me'. So why should Elton get a chart hit for this but Slash didn't get one for that?

* would have

Wow I had no idea American Idiot had sold quite that much! Shame we've only got sales for the top 5.

18 months between the release of the two albums, it's not that quick a return?! Plenty of time to write new songs.

Yeah this isn't anywhere near the best on the album sadly

I wouldn't be surprised if West End Girl samples/interpolates them!

Hi Seltin! It's not my favourite song from Jade but it is good and it should do well here! I'm loving Taylor's song atm so watch that fly up the chart Raye's song is indeed a bop I think you'll be very pleased with Damiano's position next week Thanks!

Lily Allen's surprise new album West End Girl can be added to the schedule for next Friday 24th!

Well this has come out of nowhere No lead single or anything? Does she think she's Taylor?!

Do you have a R2 playlist update for us this weekend @Dan17F1?

That's a very odd claim to make. Do you have any evidence that the success of female jazz/easy listening is linked to world events?! Surely it's just the case that the popularity of musical genres comes and goes in cycles and this sound just happens to be popular again right now?

So it should be BOOTB then!
