That's why Work Bitch and #LIVEITUP by J.Lo got ignored by both Radio 1 and Capital, yet Mariah's #Beautiful (which happened to feature Miquel) got playlisted by both.”
Yep , cos if that Mariah song was a solo single then she would not have had a cat in hells chance of getting on the playlist.
And what really peeved me off about the Britney thing is, they had her at the station as a star guest making a big fuss of her whilst she promoted that very song, yet they did not playlist that song

So good enough to have on as a guest and brown nose, yet not good enough for the precious playlist ?!
They didn't even playlist 'till the world ends' a few years ago, and that was a worldwide hit. Angry Britney fan here
