In my opinion each incarnation of the Band Aid single has been worse than the one before. It's like everybody gets one line,so they have to make their line count,so it's got to the stage where there's all sorts of ridiculous vocal histrionics where the melody more or less takes a back seat.

They played it on the Time Tunnel as well during the night at the weekend,either Friday or Saturday night,I can't remember which.

Don't Tell Me from that album is one the best of Madonna's later singles. But I've never heard that on Heart.

It all seems to be "Party Classics" tonight. Did the club that inspired "Club Classics" close down?

it does seem like that sometimes,when you hear Sam Smith,John Legend and Rude for what seems like the five hundredth time.

In fact according to Compare My Radio,Heart played about 800 "unique" (ie,different) songs in the last thirty days. But many of these will only have been played a few times,or possibly only once. Whereas the standard Heart tracks are played well over a hundred times each month.

The other Global brand,Capital,is even more repetitive,I have seen their "unique" tracks number on Compare My Radio fall as low as about 190 - that means over an entire month,Capital played only 190 diffferent records. Their top ten most played tracks are all heard more than two hundred times every month,ie about seven times a day.

By way of comparison,Radio2 played over four thousand different records in the last 30 days. Even Radio1 had about 3,500.

The Global Radio website proudly states that,"We're not just bringing life to radio,we're bringing radio to life".

OK then.

It will actually end up being split 1/3 90s, 1/3 00s and 1/3 10s, as each voter on their website has to choose a song from each decade.

Unlike other top 100s they're not giving you a limited list to choose from but you can choose what you like.

"There's been some great music over the last 25 years,with the likes of Take That,TLC and the Spice Girls all making hits that hold a firm place in our hearts.",says the website.

Firm place in our hearts maybe,but at least in the case of the Spice Girls,not on the Heart playlist. They usually get only a handful of plays a month,maybe five or six.

Over the whole radio industry,the Spice Girls were played only 204 times,with only Heat radio playing them with any frequency.

Ed Sheeran and Sam Smith were both played nearly twelve thousand times each.

Having said that,that number may be artificially high,because Compare My Radio counts all the various Hearts and Capitals as different stations,whereas we know that apart from the weekday breakfast and drivetime shows,they're basically all the same station playing the same songs at the same time.

However you count them up,it is hard to get away from Sheeran and Smith. They seem to be massively popular. Which remains a mystery to me. Ed Sheeran is playing three nights at Wembley stadium,how his gentle easy listening guitar strumming is going to work in a massive stadium is beyond me. To me,stadium gigs need spectacle if they're to work at all. I've seen Madonna and Michael Jackson at Wembley.

Ed Sheeran? No thanks.

I seem to have drifted rather off topic.

Does make you question the point of 9-10 being local when they all just do the time tunnel, why not just put Toby on National from 9 and be done?

Sheeran is popular because his music crosses over many genres, he was 1Xtra's artist of the year but fits just as well on Radio 2 or Heart so it's the wide appeal that makes him popular most artists are more inch only popular with a certain demographic.
