Its the other way round, but great song, I concur!!

Also, in the new "Heart Digital Spy posters request show", which is obviously coming soon, can I have the FULL version of Kraftwerk - Autobahn, and "Once around the world" by It Bites??

Those two, along with the ads, will fill a full hour, and give your target audience something to talk about whilst watching "Towie"!

Some decent tunes there to be fair but would have Coldplays talk and travis turn, but to be honest you could go on all day everyone has so many different favourites and musical tastes, picking a perfect playlist trying to keep a big audience happy I suppose is not easy.

I would say most of those fit into the typical Heart easy listening type category. I like the Britney one,one of her earlier hits. I prefer "Lucky",that has been called Britney's finest moment. The video is fantastic. I've never heard it on Heart and I doubt I ever will.

It was 1988 on the Time Tunnel last night and they played Jane Weidlin Rush Hour. That was a real, "What a record,not heard that in ages moment." Even the presenter commented on it,saying what a great record it was. More of that sort of thing would be welcome.

They also played Belinda Carlisle's Heaven is a Place on Earth,and the presenter said it was her "signature" tune.

Well it's probably the only one you'll ever hear on Heart. Except maybe Leave A Light On,Compare My Radio says that was also played in the last thirty days. Once.

Something very odd happened on Heart at about 5.45 this morning.

It briefly became an interesting station.

They played an absolute classic from the 80s,Sade,Smooth Operator,and then right after it,Craig David,Walking Away. I can't remember ever hearing either of those records on Heart before. Outside of the Time Tunnel,you hardly hear any records off the normal playlist on the weekend overnight show. To hear two in a row is practically unheard of in my experience. So well done to whoever slipped those in. That's the sort of thing I'd like to hear more of on Heart.

When you're listening for a long period of time,as we do at work,it really does give you a lift when something a bit different comes on.

It was added yesterday and no it wasn't.
Along with Hozier, and interestingly, the new Lawson single 'Roads'. Not sure how 'familiar' it will be with the Heart audience bearing in mind it's not released until May 24th! Anyone would think they're signed to Global Talent or something!

To quote George Orwell (who doesn't feature enough on these forums) 'All animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others'.

I would think more 80s and 90s music would test well with the Heart listening panel? But not sure which ones.

I just looked at that. It's surprising how little of a song you need to hear to recognise it, particularly as a lot of the songs on that survey will be very familiar to Heart listeners..it's a bit like compressing an entire night's Heart output into about five minutes. Although I did two lots of fifty songs and I don't think I heard any George Ezra or Ellie Goulding.

Pity the real station isn't like that.

Yeah I heard the Taylor Swift track today it's a good track different to "shake it off"

What's going on with all these new song additions blimey it's like buses you wait and wait for one then loads come along at once 😄

Playing a new florence and the machine track as well never heard them on heart. Do heart have a new music programmer maybe ?

I've been through the whole lot must be a few hundred ! There was many heart faves like Adele Pink Sam Smith Ed Sheeran Rihanna Maroon 5 Beyonce and Eurythmics, but quite a few that don't get played too like The Fray Oasis Blur Stereophonics Beautiful South Daniel Beddingfield.

I like the way you can choose if a song is familiar and if it is heard on the radio too often of course I said yes to many of the Heart faves as that is the case. I think there were only 2 songs I weren't familiar with.

A good survey some great tracks in there but I could think of hundreds more to test. I have put some on the Web site where it asks for comments.

You're more likely to hear those on Smooth
