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.

Sam Fender & Olivia Dean - Rein Me In has been added today. Pretty sure this is the first time Heart has added either artist.

I think Paul Russell’s new song suits Heart’s vibe very well, despite being rap. Very upbeat and the Luther Vandross sample would make it sound familiar to their listeners. Only problem is that it’s not a big song yet (opposite situation to Aperture), if it becomes another hit like Lil Boo Thang, I believe Heart will probably add it.

It also had just one play yesterday, so perhaps they’ve only added it on a lower rotation for now.

They did playlist Azizam when it was originally out.

Heart have added Aperture to the playlist as of today.

I think it’s only recently that Global has mostly dropped Chris Brown from their playlists, as it wasn’t too long ago that stations like Capital Anthems and Heart 00s were still regularly playing his songs.

Bit of a random question, but whilst we’re discussing edits, does anyone know when Heart started playing the full version of Rhythm Is a Dancer with Turbo B’s rap? I’m pretty sure it was always cut out until fairly recently.
