Killing in the Name Of getting to no1 was iconic!

Thank goodness!

Not really I suppose the f word is a derogatory term!

Was Celestial by Ed playlisted?

100%

Or even better “Baby Reindeer Me In”featuring the woman from the show in place of Olivia!

Give Me Love one of Ed’s best as well!

There it is!

So instead of the usual vote we’ve had for the past 20 years Jack Saunders has just picked his top 5 of the year: 5) Rosalia - Reliqua 4) Turnstile - BIRDS 3) Bon Iver - Everything is Peace and Love 2) Wolf Alice - Bloom Baby Bloom 1) Fred Again, KETTAMA & Shady Nasty - Hardstyle 2

Will be a hit in the new year!

The tracks that didn’t make the A List are likely late singles….

Mariah wasn’t Xmas no1 was she?

It’s only 1 and 10 on iTunes so can’t see it selling enough!

Favourite - Slade Merry Xmas Everybody (1973) Least Favourite - Rolf Harris - Two Little Boys (1969)

Added to the R1 C List today!

Also added to the Capital playlist today!

Why did this return to the chart?

Went for Cast and then The Darkness in the tie breaker

Nice to see Robyn upped to the A List, who says they don’t push (older) female artists. Also on the Royal Otis debate I’m Car>Whos Your Boyfriend>Moody Wish that Amber Mark song was A Listed, it’s such an ear worm. Also not surprising they haven’t expanded the Sleigh List like R2, maybe they’ll compensate that by actually playing them more eqch day closer to Xmas and making them the focus Xmas tracks!

So 5 plays through the week for Kylie overall on R1!
