Radio 1 Playlist thread

I very much doubt I'll be able to find these as I'm in another department altogether but I may do some hunting if I can!

They completely ignore songs like I Decided

Perhaps 'I Decided' didn't make the playlist because it's crap.

And there track record with previous Freemasons productions)
They're also ignoring We Break The Dawn! Also Feedback and Outta My Head were completely ignored too!

I don't know who you're talking about with any of these titles apart from Janet. R1 have to cater for their target audience... ie chart music, new / fresh / groundbreaking music. And much as I love Janet Jackson myself, it's no surprise that a song by an ageing artist that didn't even make the top 40 wasn't considered to be very Radio 1.

No Michelle Williams Again But A Chris Brown Re-Release Which Is Doing Nothing On Downloads Is A-List Because His Last 2 Were Hits

Ask the average 15-24 year-old who Michelle Williams is and they will look at you blankly. Then ask them if they know who Chris Brown is :wink:

Again, it has to be stuff that is suitable, by artists that the target audience is either familiar with or likely to be interested in.

Cheers! If you find anything PM please

Especially year 2000 and late 90s.

By the way, "We Break The Dawn" is by Michelle Williams and "Outta My Head" is by Ashlee Simpson (who was a regular feature on their playlist before).

Not many additions, a little suprised Christina didn't get playlisted - although its not due for release till November 3rd, so probably a good thing... as long as they don't overlook it :p

10 new additions is a lot for Radio 1 standards.
Christina is already getting played on Radio 1, so she'll definitely make the playlist in the next few weeks, same with Girls Aloud.

Gutted Glasvegas are out, I still love hearing that.

They're are moving away from the more indie releases, there's hardly any compared to how much there usually is.

by **mykka** » Wed Sep 17, 2008 5:34 pm

I'd say its about time. There's still more of it than any other genre though...

by **MadeOfBricks** » Wed Sep 17, 2008 9:18 pm

It is over-saturated but it works, there just needs to be different because people are obviously bored of the whole We Are Scientists/Fratellis/Pigeon Detectives formula, hence why we've got less of it and more different sorts of bands like MGMT on the playlist.

by **mykka** » Wed Sep 17, 2008 9:24 pm

Oh but Radio 1 arent fed up of those artists you've mentioned, no doubt when their new singles come out, they'll get A-listed just like their previous ones.

by **SeeForever** » Wed Sep 17, 2008 9:30 pm

Ladyhawke & James Doman are taking off the playlist the week they come out :-?

Really pleased John Legend has been playlisted, hopefully he will be given more attention after the last album was mostly ignored

by **steophonic** » Wed Sep 17, 2008 9:37 pm

Surprised Steve Mac got dropped already...

Hardly! We Are Scientists didn't even get playlisted with Impatience, which was released last week. Fratellis and Pigeon Detectives bombed, and although Everybody Wants Me was A-listed, I don't think Look Out Sunshine made it off the C List.

I may be wrong though, I was on holiday for two weeks when these two songs came out.

by **mykka** » Fri Sep 19, 2008 5:15 pm

Fratellis were A-listed.

I can't believe Tilly and the Wall are off already, sorry :lol:

I wish Sash's new song would f*ck off too, it's awful.
