Ahh in my mind Hypnogogic (?) was playlisted too and was only C Listed but I must have misremembered

I feel like a Love Regenerator song that he did a few years ago might have done? I just wondered if that didn’t appear in your data as it was under a different name

Good to see Garrix/Sheeran finally added, think it's too late in the day for it to do anything now though. Also good to see Ariana added too.

He literally has… not sure you can bring someone back from the dead ;)

I actually wasn’t! I really liked Friend Of Mine but it seems to have been completely forgotten

I think we’re all forgetting the real great soundtrack song she released… Friend Of Mine!

I don’t think it will be anywhere close unless the video provides a big boost! Pretty sure all her physicals have already been shipped as well

It was Milky climbing more than I expected - would have been lovely for Lily though ;)

Is there an unexpected song to come? The Top 8 from last week, Beat It, new Ariana plus one more?

I think that might have been Sami's point - like they are now playing Ariana again so why not Olivia Dean as well if they were both previously blacklisted?

Nice to see adds for Calvin/Jazzy and I really like the Haircut 100 track too! Surprised not to see an insta-add for Ariana though (although it was played by Joel Dommett this morning so I would assume it will be added next week)

I can’t stop playing this! Think it’s my favourite thing she’s done (with Afterglow and Disconnect just behind)

There’s no need to be rude - I think Sami got the idea

I know it’s already been mentioned but No Regrets is my favourite ever. It’s so just unexpected in that type of song

They will be announcing the number 1 at least (I would assume doing a Top 10 countdown) as the show description for 5pm mentions it.

I don’t understand this? Radio 1 played Crush and Midnight Sun last year (before Zara got massive again). Admittedly they were only on the C List but neither of those sound like tracks that R2 would play. I don’t think Radio 1 are only supporting her now because Lush Life and Midnight Sun went massive on TikTok

Thank you to @earthisturning for letting me know about the playlist! Lots of Australian representation this week! A shame to see LOOK MUM NO COMPUTER off so quickly but I can't really be surprised at that. They do love to support Meghan Trainor's tracks!

I mean it's not 'new' but there are older songs on there! It's been out around 3 months

Yes it does, I'm not surprised it hasn't this year though, it was the most uncommercial we've entered for many years (I was quite surprised it's even made it to the B List!)

Apologies for posting late this week. Surprised to see another big clear out after last week, especially as there's a few songs that were removed that feel a bit premature. Great to see Billy Lockett added though, I've been a fan of his for a little while now.

That Marlon Hoffstadt track is a brilliant price of dance music! Have heard it a few times over the last few days, hopefully that makes the main playlist. I have to say normally I’m not a fan of the Big Weekend playlists but it’s sounding really fresh this year! Whether it’s because there’s a lot of tracks there that haven’t made the main playlist I’m not sure, but it’s sounding good.
