I’m glad it got it this week at least otherwise Adele would have prevented this from happening. It’s mad what difference one song could have made if released esrlier

Hopefully^

Hoped more Elton in the chart with his new campaign of reworkings

Tell me if I’m way off but why does this to me sound like “Someone to Call My Lover” by Janet Jackson

The remix is a lot better to be completely honest but enjoying this is on this sunny day

This is an ok song better then jesys dreadful vocals on the previous track

This is an ok song better then jesys dreadful vocals on the previous track

What is this monstrosity of a debut single after being in a four piece girl group who won on a talent show for almost nine years and achieve so much!! This is sounding so dated to me, not a fan, jesy needs to re evaluate herself!!

This song is doom and gloom, thumbs down

The willow track is so gorgeous x and shouse I knew this would be big in clubs but didn’t expect it to achieve mainstream success but boy am I glad!! :heart:

I loved the Sam fender track this week but I’m kind of here today to see him miss the number 1 spot on the album chart which I really hope happens, nothing against him I love him but I just don’t want him to get number one

Love love love this, wish it spent longer in the top 10 :wub:

Ohh not this song :puke2: sick to death of it

I also love this!!! :cheer: We do need more slower/ballad songs or singer songwriter songs

I am so hoping this will reach the top 10 soon but im not too sure!! :)

This thread is in terminal decline. There is barely any discussion

https://www.instagram.com/p/CQ84_9LISqy/?ut...edium=copy_link I believe this is Capital’s current full playlist and they have probably stopped updating the website, which is pointless may I add. They haven’t even bothered to get rid of that page.

My goodness this song is absolutely brilliant for the summer and sunny days in general if only they added songs like: Deepest Blue - Deepest Blue (If you do not agree hang your head in shame this is the ultimate summer tune) David Guetta - Gettin’ Over You :-) Michael Gray - The Weekend Natalie La Rose - Somebody Eric Prydz - Call on Me /// or Pjanoo for that matter Ciara - Love Sex Magic Omi - Cheerleader Coldplay - Viva La Vida

Capital need to playlist ragnbone man by now!! It will be huge I bet

Also I get capital want to play the most commercial capital type pop songs however it would be a so very good move if they started playing some songs in the 40 which they wouldn’t usually predictably playlist; they need to move with the times. I was impressed that they playlisted daisies by ashnikko a while ago. They are either late for certain songs or don’t playlist them at all even if they would sound great on capital. And also why do capital playlist dance songs for months on end? I can’t be the only one to notice this! They should have pop songs on longer but they insist on spamming a certain few dance song for almost a year even if there were bigger pop songs. I feel like capital are becoming very dancey lately.

Also there was absolutely no reason to “disqualify” dermott Kennedy’s “outnumbered” & maroon 5s “memories” last year they were both huge hits and I was flabbergasted to discover they weren’t playing these songs. Mind boggling!! And capitals shows have very little point compared to many years ago. What is the difference between tuning in at 2pm and 6pm? Well there is only a different presenter and I don’t feel like they talk even a little bit these days , I get they want to play as many tunes as possible however I feel like they try to talk as little as possible all I hear is a song then a sweeper then a song and so on before a little sentence then cut to ads and repeat! Many years ago the shows used to have a bit of a point as they would have a bit of a different format each time. The only shows have an actual point are breakfast, weekender and the chart show (the methodology needs to be reviewed as it is too similar to download charts). The weekender is a massive improvement compared to a few months ago so I applaude them for that. And why did they get rid of throwback show? It was fun on a Wednesday to hear a few older songs even if they were similar songs every week.

I understand that capital is a pop station however capital (and hot hits) is the reason why young people these days see rock/alternative/indie music as old - even if it is a very commercial track. Hence why it isn’t doing very well in the chart as a genre itself. I so wish they playlisted more commercial rock/indie tracks on capital fm. One I think would sound great it’s Jake Buggs recent single as it did well on their “bigtop40” chart. They play listed the 1975 last year and it was so very refreshing to hear in between all the overproduced noise (It can make me get cranky). They used to absolutely love acts such as: Manic Street Preachers, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Suede, Richard Ashcroft etc. And they absolutely loved wherever you will go by the calling! I always imagine making a suggestion to global and getting people behind it however they don’t listen to people. I feel they should listen to their regular listeners and have some feedback like they used to listen a long while ago. Like a forum or suggestion box as such however it is 2021 and they would probably see this as a dated idea. It can get very frustrating with the lack of variety as radio x play older songs to absolute death and radio 1 aren’t commercial so it would be nice to have a huge commercial station with variety. Commercial radio stations can have more impact as they play certain songs more than radio 1.

I would argue that due to hot hits on Spotify and promotional tools as such have led to the demise of certain artists. Then again the market these days is much more different than it was let’s say 15 years ago - less frontloaded, so more songs are very slow burners like chasing cars by snow patrol was in the download era.

Lenny Kravitz, Michael Bolton, Dannii Minogue However if we are being realistic I would say - Bastille, The Script and OneRepublic are a few that come to mind

Blimey! Capital fm are getting on my nerves now!! Luca shreiner will be the death of me - excuse me for being a bit dramatic. Capital is a pop / Chr radio station I do not understand why they resort to rhythmic remixes for songs that are doing better with their original version which most people are familiar with and to top it all off the originals wouldn’t sound out of place at all. What’s next? Will they moving regular pop songs to radio x regardless of if they are rock/alternative/indie/metal/punk? But then they also do not play urban songs on capital and leave them for capital xtra so their direction is very confusing! THEY NEED TO SORT THEMSELVES OUT!!
