Probably a one-off play, since James was a guest on breakfast this morning. (EDIT: not sure how I missed Jay’s post before 🙃)

His full name is Jack Burke, and he presents shows on Radio Essex and KMFM in Kent: https://www.kmfm.co.uk/the-evening-show-with-jack-burke/ https://www.radioessex.com/schedule/

The original version does get played now and then (from Online Radio Box, was also played on Saturday at 16:14 - https://onlineradiobox.com/uk/capitalfmuk/playlist/6), though the remix is still used the majority of the time.

R.I.P. I Had Some Help after two years of faithful service on the playlist 🫡

They added it to Club Classics a few months ago, but I do agree with Gavin that it’s a bit jarring compared to the usual songs. At the risk of sounding like Sami, I think there are more suitable recent songs from the Heart Dance playlist they could add to Club Classics, like Looking for Me or Afraid to Feel.

Not related to the current playlist, but Heart played In Da Club just before 6pm (evidence - https://onlineradiobox.com/uk/heartuk/playlist/). Never thought we’d hear 50 Cent on Heart (though it is already played on Heart 00s)… The website also says that Dai Dai was played on breakfast today, though that’s most likely just a spot play.

It was played on the breakfast show earlier, but hasn’t any other plays yet, so could be a one-off.

Pretty sure Post Malone is coming up to two years on the playlist now… At least they’ve added a few relatively recent songs (Fever Dream, You’re A Superstar).

Heart don’t tend to playlist many ballads nowadays (bar Lewis Capaldi and the occasional tune like Die with a Smile), so that could be what’s putting them off. At the moment though there aren’t any ballads on the playlist, so if one were to speculate, they might have room to add Sienna if they want to…

Heart played the Mall Grab remix of Just the Way You Are this morning instead of the original version, though I don’t think they’re playing it as a new song as it’s just been the one play so far today.

I don’t think they have, it’ll only be on because of the recent resurgence, it’s more of a Capital tune for Bieber than a Heart one.

I think Hits Radio Dance is meant to be their equivalent of Heart Dance, hence not really playing much new music. Their playlist does seem a bit more contemporary than Heart Dance though, playing stuff like Joel Corry, Tiesto (The Business) and Becky Hill.

Fever Dream just got played on breakfast about an hour ago, not sure if it was just a spot play or if it’s now been added yet though…

Club Song hasn’t been played again since this morning, so it may have just been a one-off. In terms of the next add, I’m expecting Fever Dream to join the playlist soon.

Heart have also added Milky - Just The Way You Are (original version) into general rotation due to the Mall Grab remix.
