God the arguments in this thread are tiring this week

A few surprises on this week's playlist - nice to see some movement again. I wasn't expecting Calvin to show up now, I thought that ship had long sailed but good to see. Also nice upwards movement for Olivia Dean and Pulp and good to see Sam Fender's new one make it as an insta-add. Surprised to see Lukas Graham on here. I didn't realise they were still releasing music, let alone being supported by R2. It's a shame that the song is quite boring.

And you are correct, I will post the updated playlist later today!

I reckon it will be close this week - but if I were a betting man I would say Ordinary has it. Sabrina won’t have vinyls or the first day boost she had last Friday!

Unfortunately no update yet - the website is still showing last week’s playlist. I reckon Manchild and Suzanne are probably both A-Listed though as they’ve been played a couple of times today.

Don’t mind this - feels very PinkPantheress production wise (which is definitely not a bad thing)

I absolutely love this now - I genuinely think one of my favourite Ed songs ever. I didn’t care for Old Phone at all and Azizam was ok at first but got a bit irritating quickly.

Yes that is correct! There seems to be very little movement at the moment of songs. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Sapphire move up next week though.

That’s very good going for Manchild! I think even if it loses some momentum as the week goes on, it’s in a good position for number 1

I’m quite surprised Ordinary has managed to hold at number 1 to be honest, especially with how quickly Sabrina shot to 2!

Obviously that’s a brilliant start for Sabrina but that looks like a pretty decent start for Ed too at this stage to me? Where was Azizam at this point?

This is great! I think it’s the best thing he’s released in years! And it sounds massive as well.

I don’t mind it - I can’t see it being number 1 though. It does remind me of The Giver and I reckon it will probably do similarly chart wise.

I get the feeling Tate might be our next number 1 - the song sounds huge! And to only have that small fall on a Saturday is good going.

Still not a lot of interesting additions for me at the moment. Disappointed that the new Calvin hasn't made it on here, they have given it a few spot plays so they're not adverse to playing it. Also surprised that Alex Warren didn't get an insta-add, it's a perfect sounding song for R2.

It isn’t usually, the way that the weekends have fallen this year means that they’re only separated by a weeks gap when usually there is a 2 week gap between the events

Well... I can't say that playlist interests me at all at the moment. Wasn't expecting Jessie J of all people to get an insta-add though!

Apologies for forgetting to post last week. Still no Lorde :( very surprised that they're snubbing her, I would have thought it would be up R2's street. Not surprised to see Sophie Ellis-Bextor make the A List immediately considering she's one of their presenters. Quite cool to see NEMO make the playlist last week though, that was a surprise.
