There’s also a lot of warm weather coming this week, so I would expect most things to have an increase anyway

Clean Baby Sleep White Noise (Looped)? Can’t deny it’s not a big song ;)

I can’t see a KNEECAP thread, so sorry if this is in the wrong place but I’m not sure we’ll be seeing Radio 1 support them again - they’re currently being ‘assessed’ by counter terrorism Police for remarks they have apparently made at previous shows - it doesn’t look good if this is true: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cp8kpljj26go.amp

So that's 10 weeks for Ordinary now which I think is a joint recent record (with Die With A Smile or APT. if I remember correctly). Good to see lots of movement and additions this week, good adds for Sam Fender, CMAT and Declan J Donovan which is a great tune. Very surprised to see the Sugababes moved up this week, I thought they would be removed. Also, slightly surprised not to see an insta-add for Lorde, but I'm sure that will come in the next couple of weeks.

Nice to see the Eurovision entry added - I knew that was a when rather than an if. Surprised to see James Bay get an insta-add but good to see him supported somewhere still. Surprised to see Snow Patrol only on the C List, it's a great tune from them and sounds right up R2's street.

Just heard this for the first time, this is my favourite of the three so far!

‘Different’ is great! It reminds me of Fred Again’s ‘Rumble’ with the glitchy production!

He was? Ordinary was released a couple of weeks ago

Tom Grennan headlining makes it even odder that they decided to snub ‘Shadowboxing!’ I thought that he was going to start to struggle to get R1 support from now on but obviously I’m wrong!

Nice to see some support for The Wombats (even if it's more minimal than it should be) - does anyone know if they've been playlisted before? Not much else of note for me this week though. I heard The Lottery Winners track for the first time though and that's great so give that a chance if you haven't heard it already. I will be away next week so please could someone post the playlist in my absence?

Are there any big releases in the next couple of weeks? Is there potential that Beautiful Things could end up back at Number 1 if it stays on SCR long enough?!

Apologies for the lateness posting this - still trying to get used to the new Buzzjack! Great to see lots of instant support for Benson, really loving the song at the moment. Elsewhere, not loads that I'm a big fan of, I don't mind that Rachel Chinouriri song either. I have no idea why they've felt the need to playlist that awful version of Please, Please, Please though.

That was amazing from Jade!

YESSSSSS EZRA COLLECTIVE!!! That’s completely unexpected but I’m very pleased with that!

Yes I agree, I don’t think she should have been nominated for Pop but she’s definitely Dance so glad she won that!

Yes it is Wake Me Up. Apologies for missing that off.

Good to see Inhaler and Olivia Dean moving up and nice adds for Alex Warren and The Weeknd this week.
