Radio 1 Playlist thread

I wouldnt be surprised if it made the A-list.

by **SholasBoy** » Wed Oct 08, 2008 6:03 pm

What on earth is McFly still doing on A-list?

by **mykka** » Wed Oct 08, 2008 6:10 pm

Good question. The A-list is absolutely horrendous

by **MadeOfBricks** » Wed Oct 08, 2008 7:56 pm

It is a bit awful, I'm surprised Girls Aloud are there, I don't think I've heard it on the radio yet!

I wonder what is the lowest charting single in recent years to make A=List?

by **mykka** » Wed Oct 08, 2008 8:33 pm

Probably One Republic, or Pigeon Detectives

Where's Britney? :cry:

One thing that really annoys me about Radio 1 recently is the fact that they segway into nearly every bloody song with their signature radio jingle.

It was a bit funny when they did it with Pendulum, but now it's getting ridiculous.

Not sure I understand what you mean? :-?

Mainly after the news or a advert, right before they play a song, they incorporate a 4 beat DE-DE-DE-DEEEE tacklessly onto the beginning of the record.
Most annoying before Pink's So What and Iglu & Hartly's In This City.

by **mykka** » Tue Oct 14, 2008 11:12 pm

Oh I see. Hadn't noticed that yet, sounds really stupid.

DUH! I got that part, but what's a playlist? Here in the US, we just have a bunch of songs constantly added to a radio's playlist and they get played forever. No matter how old. Depending on how popular they were. The older songs aren't played as often as newer ones, but you can still hear them. And it's usually just one playlist, not A, B, and C, which I assume means popularity.

by **mykka** » Thu Oct 16, 2008 12:06 am

The playlist consists of songs that Radio 1 plays during the day. A-list songs have the most rotation, B-list have less, etc...
Some stations have older songs on rotation, Radio 1 playlists only recent songs that are about to be released. They usually start low and climb their way up depending on the popularity of the song, or the artist involved.

:D:D:D At Britney! All ready on B-List!!! Hopefully it can do well on Airplay in the UK. Singles from Blackout didn't do well enough! Does anyone know whether any of them were playlisted?

by **mykka** » Wed Oct 22, 2008 5:17 pm

All of them were B-listed.
