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.

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?!
