The song doesn't sound out of place on Heart at all. It's a catchy song, has a great hook and fits the sound of the station. It will do well for Cover Drive.
How many times in the past have you said you will not play a track, regardless of it being catchy and in the chart, until it is well established.......... yet you make an exception with this At the mo, there are lots of other upfront female friendly tracks out there, but they wont get a look in. |

Of course it will do well for them, and well done I spose? But I'm with Blue, it does sound out of place on Heart. SmartProgrammer, are you a fan of the song?

I see it's on course to the number one single in the charts this week, probably due to the heavy plays on Capital and Heart, interesting!

Heart are normally so slow at playing new songs. Why doesn't heart play Kelly Clarkson's latest release? It's in the iTunes top10....Yet the play Cover Drive.

Interestingly, the latest JLS song wasn't picked up by Capital. Is this because they pushed is aside to play The Wanted more who again are signed to Global. Capital are big enough in the UK to have an influence on the charts. Cut JLS and invest in more plays of The Wanted for ultimately more profit.. or at least aim for profit! no surprise really. Watch over the next couple of years for more Global acts to be promoted through the radio brands. Get ready for the new Sam and Mark single! http://www.thisisglobal.com/talent/ |

Notice how all the "usual suspects" have gone missing since Cover Drive became the main talking point

Cover Drive missed out on the Vodafone Big Top 40 number one. But did get the official chart number one!
Interesting that at 4pm when they did the 30 minute top 10 run down, they said on air that Cover Drive were number one. Yet at the same time on there website the live top 10 said they were 3rd. |

The 10 they play at 4pm are the 10 songs of the week combined so far, not the live top 10. That is why they move around quite a bit on the next reading at 5pm, as that is live and then they lockdown at 6. The one at 4pm will be much closer to the radio 1 chart as it is based on the week in entirety.

Capital website is misleading, if you're hoping Steve and Karen are returning in the North East then you're lead to believe they're back next Monday with Bodg back on drivetime! You'd think if they have an auto generated schedule they'd update that at least.

It definitely does sound like him! He should do all the voiceovers, much better than that creepy, pervy-sounding guy who sounds like he belongs on Virgin Radio circa 1995!

Capital has just broken into news and broken away from specialist. Now playing Whitney Houston back to back.
Now at a point when I know something serious has happened when I hear the news jingle after hours. I suppose including James' show they have provided enough hours. |

I may be one of globals biggest critics, but they have obviously reacted quickly when staff levels must be at a minimum, as they did with the M5 situation a while back............so good on them!
They did miss the 2am news, not sure wherever global had he information by then and then recorded. Oh and we're back to Rihanna. |
