She's still signed to global, same difference really. Publishing side is all about with songs to pick, song placements, branding etc etc. That's why she's in capital top 5 most played acts

The most likely is something in between that – chains such as Lloyds No. 1, Yates, Reflex and Popworld – I’m sure each town and city will have their own local versions as well.

I personally would regard them as bars rather than clubs but as they have dancefloors I suppose the definition is debatable. I’ve been to a couple of such bars and heard “Burn” and it went down well.

For what I regard as clubs “Club Classics” is perhaps a slightly misleading title, although nicely alliterates, something more like “Party Classics” would be more accurate. However as others will regard clubs as something different the title might be right for them.

Yes it is actually. So that's reggae, pop, rock, soul, disco, dance & ballads. Load's of music variety there.

Remember it's never been about the AMOUNT of songs played. "More Music Variety" reflects different genres (which the DS bashers fail to grasp even though I've posted it like a zillion times).

I know, I was just winding up Hitmusic. I mean, boasting about 1 new sing being played.

I only posted that because many times people have posted on here about heart being too slow and months behind in playing a new artist/song. But there we are a brand new act/track on Heart.

If Heart's target audience are 25-39 (so I hear) then 90s and 00s would be more suited, most were not born in the 70s and just little kids in the 80s. People who were clubbing in the 70s/80s are in their late 40s-50s now.

Spot on. Like I said the 90s were 20yrs ago! So to someone like me say, club classics are considered from 90s onwards. I didn't go to my 1st club til 2000.

Er no there isn't. Ballads is not a genre of music and I have never heard them play anything that can be described as Reggae, Rock or Soul.

Taylor Dayne - Tell It to my heart is s club classic. It reached the US Billboard Dance 100.

Is Heart using World Wide Club Classic Charts like Billboard + UK to charcitise certain music.

Mark Wright's weekday show was only ever called a "Club Classic Flavor", it had solid Club Classics from 7 - 8 and then from 8 - 10 had a mixture of Club Classics and modern "feelgood" songs!

Hardly 'brand new' worldwide release October 2013. Made top ten on Billboard Hot 100, wonder if Heart picked it as it has been used on a TV show or something.

The UK release is 20th July! So is brand new for UK market. Like other artists, songs are often released at different times across the globe.

OK I'll raise to the bait. Just a few artists that play on Heart and fall under these genres :

Reggae : Bob Marley, UB40
Rock : Bon Jovi, Kings of Leon, Queen
Soul : Marvin Gaye, Luther Vandross

As for ballads, love songs cover a variety of genres. Toni Braxton & Babyface, Bridget Kelly, SWV and Aaliyah for example is R&B and the Force MD's is new jack swing.

Now where's your evidence?

What evidence? More music variety? More variety than who because that is not variety? If you went on to a download site and found 1 song by Kings of Leon in the rock section and not much else you would think it pathetic. Do they play more variety than Radio 2? Radio 1? Wave 105? No they bloody don't. Infact the only stations that play less variety than Heart are other crappy stations owned by Global.

Basically Global have a different definition of "variety" to the rest of the radio industry!
