Playlist Round-Up
One of the things we DJs need to do is stay on top of musical trends – it’s a lot tougher these days to “break” records that crowds don’t know, and so it pays to know what the big radio stations around the world have on their playlists.
Legendary US station Hot 97 have Chris Brown & Drake – No Guidance as their top track, and we have the original (and a whole bunch of remixes!) for you. Hot 97’s 2nd biggest track is the dancehall anthem by Koffee – Toast. Don’t sleep on Jekey’s amazing edit using Rihanna – Umbrella! And the 3rd most played on their station is DJ Khaled – Wish Wish, ft Cardi B and 21 Savage.
In the UK, Radio 1 are showcasing tracks from Aitch, Ed Sheeran, Lizzo & Ariana Grande, Roberto Surace, Riton & Oliver Heldens, and Camila Cabello.
Their sister station 1xtra, aimed at showcasing “urban contemporary and black music” is pushing AJ Tracey – Cat, new French Montana ft Post Malone, Cardi B & Rvssian, the awesome Stay Flee Get Lizzy joint, and Joro by man of the moment Wizkid.
And don’t forget, we have loads of charts you can look at to see what’s hot on the dancefloor, divided by genres and time period – don’t miss out on any dancefloor heat!
