Matt Edmondson's Playlist The Playlist

Right, that's it from me on BBC Radio One today,

I will see you next time!

Because I'm off on my holidays, I cannot wait to see where

the work experience person has booked for me. Thank you very much.

What are we thinking? South of France, Hawaii?

The Playlist?

I'm going on holiday to The Playlist.

Hello, I'm Matt Edmondson, and I'm not sure I've met you before,

but this is The Playlist. Everyone else, as you can see,

has left for their holidays, so it looks like I'll be

sunning myself here in the studio where there is no sun.

Might take some time. Do you know what? The show must go on

and The Playlist must be played.

And if you're thinking, "Who is Matt Edmondson? What does he do?

"What does he know? Why has he got such lovely hair?"

Well, here is a handy 20 second guide to all things me.

SCOTT MILLS: He used to be a presenter on CBBC

and The Xtra Factor.

Bear with me one second.

Welcome backstage at the Radio One Teen Awards.

I'm here in a toilet.

Banter.

This week's host is only Matt Edmondson.

So now you know who I am. What's your name? And what do you think

of The Playlist tracks this week, huh?

Hang on, sorry, I've not thought this through, you're all

doing it at once. I'll tell you what, it's probably best if you

get involved on our website...

Because it's there that you've been voting for the songs

you want to hear all week, and there were some rather good options.

"What were they?" I hear you ask.

Well, I will tell you,

but through the medium of moving pictures and sound.

Kesha,

George Ezra,

Calvin Harris,

Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee,

Little Mix,

and Haim.

Right, so those were the choices and your votes have been cast,

but who have you chosen in third place this week?

Well, we should cross over to Mr Voiceover Man himself.

Hi, Matt! Is that you, Scott Mills?

HE SPEAKS THROUGH BREATHING APPARATUS: Yes, Matt Edmondson.

I am your father. Yes, I don't think that you are,

and I think we should just get on with it.

Your third choice this week is Feels, from Calvin Harris,

featuring Katy Perry, Pharrell and Big Sean.

So it is all about the Feels.

Calvin Harris, Katy Perry and Pharrell, together at last.

# Nothing ever lasts forever, no

# One minute you're here and the next you're gone

# So I respect you wanna take it slow

# I need a mental receipt to know this moment I owe

# Do you mind if I steal a kiss?

# Chop, chop

# I need a souvenir, can I steal it from you?

# To memorise the way you shock me. #

Hi, I'm Lauren and I voted for Feels cos I think it's a really good

song and it has loads of good artists in it, like Katy Perry.

# Hey!

# Don't be afraid to catch feels

# Ride drop top and chase thrills

# Baby, I know you ain't scared to catch feels

# Feels with me

# I'm your window shopper, sucker for your love, oh

# I'm wearing your goggles

# Virtual reality

# It ain't what it cost you, it might be a dollar

# As long as it shocks you

# Memory, electricity

# Do you mind if I...? #

A fine choice, and we'll find out who you voted for in second

and first place later in the show.

And we'll also find out who is number one in the Official Chart,

with Greg James, won't we, Greg?

SILENCE

Sorry, where is Greg?

Can you just grab that postcard? Yeah, that one there.

Perfect, thank you. Thank you very much.

Let's have a look at this. Beautifully personalised.

"Dear Matt, I'm on holiday."

Evidently.

"Have a wonderful Playlist, lots of love, Gregory James."

I cannot believe it, he's left me here!

We need Greg James! He's the one who does the chart on BBC Radio One.

I need to know who is at the top of the Top Ten

and I will not rest or relax until..

Oh, hang on a second, thank you very much.

Mmm, oh, that's good. That has made me feel a little bit better.

We should get back to The Playlist now and see the song

that is in second place right now.

SCOTT MILLS: What, now?

Yes, Scott, right now. I'm eating an ice cream, you do it.

Fine, I didn't want ice cream, anyway.

Your second playlist choice is...

Who'd have guessed you'd go for this one?

It's Despacito, the song of the summer, Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee.

Good choice.

HE SINGS IN SPANISH

Hi, I voted for Despacito because it's in Spanish

and I find it really funky.

Oh, hang on, hang on a second.

A second excellent choice there, very good work.

And we're still waiting to see what your first choice is

when it comes to the video playlist, in a little while.

It's a good one, though, trust me on that.

We do have some unfinished business, which is that

we do not know what the UK's Official Number One is.

Greg James, the presenter of the chart, isn't here, he's on holiday.

Where is he on holiday? I wish we had the answers.

Greg, where are you?

Matt, did you not get my postcard? I'm on holiday.

I did, Greg, but that is not the point. You can't just go off

on holiday when your job is to tell everyone what is at the top

of the Official Chart.

Oh, well, I don't know, Despacito might be number one again.

It's been number one for nine weeks and it's the only thing

they play here at my luxury resort.

Where exactly are you?

I'm on holiday in my favourite destination

on the Galapaquanticus peninsula.

It's an island.

I recognise that coffee mug. Can we make that shot wider?

Fine. Fine. OK.

You ruin the fun.

You're holidaying in Radio One!

That's weird.

Let's do the chart, shall we?

Bieber took a break from his tour this week to visit

a children's hospital.

20 million views online for the video of this

and the song in the singles chart is not doing badly either.

Next up, one of your Playlist options for this week,

but have you voted it to the top spot?

We'll find out soon.

Last week's Playlist winner and she's still climbing the chart.

# Gonna strip that down for me, baby. #

Liam Payne, featuring our old friend Quavo, again.

# So put your hands on my body and swing that round for me, baby. #

The video for this has reached 100 million views online

this week.

# Don't wanna wake up one day wondering where did it all go? #

Katy's Witness tour has been so popular she's had to add more dates.

# So I respect you want to take it slow

# I need a mental receipt... #

14 weeks on the Official Chart for French Montana and Swae Lee.

Despacito, Luis Fonsi, Daddy Yankee and Justin Bieber

have been knocked off the top spot again.

A brand-new number one this week.

# Wild, wild, wild

# Wild, wild, wild thoughts. #

Actually, I won't be back next week, I'll be on actual holiday.

So...

I'll be able to put this on properly.

But it will return in September.

Thanks, Greg, I guess. Enjoy your holiday in the studio.

Still a little bit odd.

Now it's time for this.

All right, it is time for a little game which I'm going to play

with a colleague here at BBC Radio One.

It's a thing that I do on my radio show from time to time.

It's a game called Alphabeticall, and the rules are very simple.

In a second, I'll phone Alice, who works at Radio One,

she's one of my friends, we speak on the phone all the time.

But it's going to be an unusual phone call, because every time

I speak I'll be starting every sentence with the next letter

of the alphabet.

So I'll start with A, then move onto B, then C,

and see how far I can get in 45 seconds.

Now, I do need a theme for this.

So let me just grab in here and have a look.

It is - to name drop as many celebrities as possible.

All right, let's give her a call.

Hiya, you all right? Alice Levine.

What's going on? Beyonce. Beyonce?

Can I talk to you about Beyonce? Yeah, what?

Do you think she's as good as Rihanna?

Oh, um... Everyone says she might be the best of the pop starts.

Yeah, she's kind of... Well, she's like the Queen B, isn't she?

So, yeah, I guess so. Forget Britney, forget Ariana.

Yeah, why?

Gloria Estefan, forget her.

SHE LAUGHS

That is a reference I didn't expect to hear today.

Have you got an opinion on this?

On Gloria Estefan?

I have. Well, you've got an opinion on everything.

Just saying. I've got to go, Alice, I've got to go!

I'll get your opinion later. Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye.

How did I do? As far as J?

It's not too bad in 45 seconds.

Oh, this is actually quite relaxing.

I can see why Greg holidays in the studio.

Sorry, I totally forgot you were there, how unprofessional.

It is time for us to dive back into The Playlist.

Scott, are you still there?

Well, I was about to go and have a spray tan, actually.

Do not go for a spray tan, you're handsome enough as it is.

Do your job, though, and tell us who's at first place

in today's Playlist.

In first place this week on The Playlist is...

This is an excellent choice. Feel free to join in with the

"Motorbike, motorbike, bike, bike, bike" bit at the end.

I know I will. It's Little Mix and Power, featuring Stormzy.

# Who got the power?

# I got the, I got the power

# I got, I got the power # Yo, check it

# When them boys talk loose and tell you power's for a king

# You just play it cool and tell them power's not a thing

# You look them in the eye and say, "I know I'm not a guy

# But see there's power in my losses and there's power in my wins"

# Independent woman, look to shower in your Bimms

# They call me cocoa but I'm mad, you can't be powdering my skin

# And you don't need to spend another hour in the gym

# You know, I'm blinded by his grace but when you found me I was dim

# We'll be counting down the years, yeah, I'm about this

# All them dirty secrets that we shout

# I'll clear the browsers

# We the type to build on our careers and share the houses

# You can be a woman and a boss

# And wear the trousers at the same time

# You should know

# That I ain't never letting go. #

Hi, CBBC. I voted for Power by Little Mix,

cos I think it's a really good song and I love the message behind it.

# I got the, I got the I got the power

# You make rain

# I'll make it, I'll make it, I'll make it shower

# You should know, I'm the one who's in control

# I'm in control now

# I'll let you come take the wheel, long as you don't forget

# I got the, I got the power

# Cos I got the, I got the, I got the power

# I got the, I got the power

# Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

# Baby, don't forget, I got the power, yeah. #

Your Playlist winner this week is Little Mix.

Congratulations!

# Motorbike, motorbike, bike, bike. #

Congratulations to you on an excellent

Playlist number one choice.

Another top selection, you should go professional.

We are not going to be back next week, we're off on holiday...

Let me do that one more time, I'm so sorry.

So this show is taking a little break,

we're off on holiday ourselves. We are going to be sunning ourselves

on a lovely cruise until September.

But we will be back then, bigger and better than ever.

But if you miss us, and I know that we will miss you,

get yourself to the website.

For quizzes, videos and these sorts of shenanigans.

How do you prepare... How do you prepare...

..the perfect... ..the perfect pizza?

Put it in the oven!

Woo!

Yeah!

So that is it from The Playlist until September.

I hope you have a lovely summer, whatever you're doing.

Maybe you'll want to head to the website -

bbc.co.uk/cbbc - where there are tens, no, hundreds of videos

for you to peruse, watch, share and enjoy.

I will be here, though, over the summer on BBC Radio One

at the weekends, you can listen to me there, or you might even

catch me on the telly at some point as well.

For now, though, it is time to say goodbye, have a nice summer.

It is Matt Edmondson, out.

See you later.

I'm going to get very tanned on the chin here, aren't I?

# This is The Playlist. #

Smash, Bang, Boom! Get ready to be soaked with water jet packs,

blast off in rockets and take a walk upside down in space.
