Playlist

For our show "The Morning Glory Show" we decided to choose music that was within the pop/indie genre as we discovered these were the most favourite genres amongst the 16-25 age range.

After watching a documentary about Radio One, as a group we decided to designate our playlist as professionally as possible. Obviously we would not have record labels coming to us so that they could play their songs on air, so we decided to take a look at Radio One's A/B/C list. From that list we chose our favourite songs. We then sat down in front of youtube and listened to each song in full, rating each song on its playability. We were then left with our core playlist. As part of our running order i encorporated four songs in to it, as we were going for more of a chat/feature based radio show; we discovered this was the most popular method from the Chris Moyles' Show, they feature 4 or 5 songs in their radio show.

The songs we chose were:

Katy Perry - Firework
Darwin Deez - Constellations
Kings of Leon - Radioactive
Two Door Cinema Club - I Can Talk

We chose these songs based on length (all around the 3 minute mark), genre (all indie or pop), and our own personal tastes as this was a group effort.

If anything goes wrong we also have these songs to use as a backup if anything goes wrong:

Cee-Lo Green - Forget You
JLS - Love You More
The xx - VCR
Biffy Clyro - Boom, blast & ruin
The Wombats - Tokyo (Vampires & Wolves)
