Raye's Best of the Year Playlist The Playlist

Well, 2018 already, let's see how I'm getting on

with my New Year's resolutions. OK, what have we got?

"Exercise more."

That is a good point because I did eat a lot of mince pies.

"Get a new hobby."

Maybe a bit of Bikram yoga. Maybe a bit of knitting.

Yeah, that would be quite nice.

"Ring Mum." Now, it's always very important that you ring your elders.

In fact, I'm just going to give her a little buzz now.

Oh, hi, Mum, it's me.

INDISTINCT CHATTER ON PHONE It's Lauren.

INDISTINCT CHATTER ON PHONE No, no, not Laura.

Who's Laura? It's Lauren.

INDISTINCT CHATTER ON PHONE Lauren Layfield.

INDISTINCT CHATTER ON PHONE Mum!

Welcome to our very first show of 2018...

BUZZER ..and I am so pleased to announce

that our guest host this week is Raye!

-How's it going, Raye?

-Mm-mm.

-BUZZER

Erm, OK. I mean, you've had quite the 2017.

You had the BBC Music Sound Of Awards.

BUZZER

Must've been great,

you were working with Little Mix and 5 After Midnight.

-No.

-BUZZER

Erm, OK, how about the solo stuff?

You know, your new single's out.

-Decline.

-BUZZER

Yes, I can see that you're declining me right now...

No, my new single is called Decline, hence all the...

-..shaking heads and no-ing.

-Oh, I knew that!

I knew that about you.

In fact, I also know this about you as well.

She dominated 2017 with two top 10 singles,

a Sound Of 2017 nomination

and a cameo in Stormzy's video.

-HE RAPS:

-# You're getting way too big for your boots

# You're never too big for the boot... #

She wrote for Little Mix and 5 After Midnight,

performed with Rita Ora and Charli XCX

and even hosted her very own Playlist.

Woo!

This week's Playlist host is...

..Raye!

# I was always on time... #

-You really do know me, Lauren.

-I told you I did.

Well, anyways, I am Raye and this is my playlist.

Oh...

RAYElist.

LAUGHTER

What about Greg James?

Does he know me as well as you do?

Raye, come on, give me some credit, of course I know who you are.

You were on my Friday night show,

Sounds Like Friday Night on the telly.

You were born on the 24th October.

You co-wrote After The Afterparty.

You want to live in India.

You have three little sisters.

You have a neon sign and a record player in your room.

And you filmed the I, U, Us video in the Lee Valley Ice.

Wow, erm, that's some serious knowledge, Greg.

Better we get on with the chart?

-Time...

-She hasn't got a watch.

-Yeah. Very late.

Let's do the chart, shall we?

# Arms round each other... #

Craig David returns to the top 10 for the first time in two years.

This is, featuring Bastille, it's called I Know You.

# We're all stumbling through the night... #

-HE RAPS:

-# My guy, he's got the frisbee... #

Big Shaq has said he has plans for a winter track called Man's Not Cold.

This is the summer version called Man's Not Hot.

# So why do I want you so badly? #

This isn't MK's only claim to fame.

He was once Will Smith's personal DJ.

And this is his song, 17.

# Good together... #

Cardi B and Bruno Mars are starting 2018 off properly

with this brand-new banger, it's called Finesse.

# All these voices in my head get loud... #

This is NF's tenth single but the first one to chart in the UK.

Well done him. This is Let You Down.

# L-l-let you down... #

# I miss you, yeah, I miss you... #

Clean Bandit and Julia Michaels, the track is called I Miss You.

# Yeah, I miss you

# Though I'm tryin' not to now... #

# With a fresh trim... #

Ramz made this track while he was still at university

and now he's rocking the UK top 10. It's called Barking.

# Just like AJ T

# No wonder they hate on me... #

# Unexposed location, location... #

Looks like 2018's going to be another big year for Rita Ora.

This track's still dominating the top 10. It's Anywhere.

# We call it a vacation... #

HE RAPS: # I shoulda said bye, Suzanne, after the first night... #

Ed Sheeran saying working with Eminem

was one of his highlights of 2017 and rightly so. This is River.

# All my sins need holy water... #

# Barefoot on the grass... #

And he's done it again, Ed holds on to the number one spot

for another week. This is Perfect.

# I have faith in what I see

# Now I know I have met an angel in person

# And she looks perfect

# I don't deserve... #

And there'll be more chart from me the same time next week.

Thank you, Greg. Clearly one of my bigger fans.

He is, isn't he? So it's a new year, a new Raye.

Have you any New Year's resolutions?

-Eat less bread and to go skydiving.

-Opposite ends of the spectrum there.

-Yes.

-Why the skydiving?

Just cos it's like... I want to do it before I get old and scared.

Yeah, which I am old and scared so I won't be doing that for 2018.

Well, I've heard that knitting is going to be huge in 2018

so that's what I'm going to be taking up.

Anyway, I'm going to knit myself a little jumper.

Finished!

What do you think?

Yep, it's good, that.

-OK.

-Anyway, new year, new choices. RECORD SCRATCHES

What is the line?

# We're going out on our first date

# You and me are thrifty, so go all you can eat

# Fill up your bag and I fill up a plate

# We talk for hours and hours about the sweet and the sour

# And how your family's doing OK

# Leave and get in a taxi, then kiss in the backseat

# Tell the driver make the radio play, and I'm singing like

# Girl, you know I want your love Your love was handmade... #

Oh, it's been a funny show, hasn't it?

-Me being funny, Raye trying to be funny.

-Oi, I heard that!

And it's about to get even funnier

because we've got Madison Beer taking on Josh Peters in Say What.

Hey, guys, I'm Madison Beer.

I'm Josh Peters and we're about to play the Say What challenge.

-What?

-Just put on the headphones, Madison. You'll see.

THRASH METAL PLAYS

-Who's a better singer...

-Wait, wait, slow it down.

Who is a better...

-A messy...

-Better...

I'm trying to look at my mom so she can do it an American accent.

Who is a better...

MUSIC: The Star-Spangled Banner

-A better...

-Singer...

-Singer?

-Conor Maynard or Madison Beer?

I got that one! Conor Maynard.

# Girls, girls, girls I just can't say no

# Never see 'em coming Now I just watch them go... #

Can you say Josh Peters in a British accent?

-What?

-Peters, in a British accent.

Something in a British accent.

-Your name?

-Josh Peters.

-I don't know your...

-Josh...

-Josh...

-Peters...

Mitch?

-Peter?

-Pumpkin?

-Peters.

-"Pinch can".

-Am I the worst at this?

-No!

Is unique New York as unique in the New Year?

-Something in the New Year.

-Is unique New York...

..York...

-..as unique in the New Year?

-Mom, say it.

She doesn't even understand and she can hear you.

Remember, you can catch the whole thing over on the CBBC website.

Right now, though, more celebs,

more New Year's resolutions - we're playing THIS.

THIS!

Raye, in my hand, I've got some New Year's resolutions

from various high profile celebrities.

All you've got to do is guess who they belong to.

-Are you ready?

-Yeah.

Was that from Ed Sheeran, Stormzy - which would be sick -

or Katherine Jenkins?

I am going to for a wild card here.

Ed Sheeran probably will end up doing it,

but I think it's going to be Stormzy.

Imagine if Stormzy did the royal wedding.

-Imagine the Queen, like, "What is this?"

-Absolutely raving.

-But it's wrong! It's Ed Sheeran!

-Oh!

Greg James, Dua Lipa or Katy Perry?

I don't know, but I'm leaning towards Katy Perry

because she's quite, like, a rebel.

It is wrong. It was Dua Lipa.

-It's all right. We'll move on to the next one.

-I'm horrible at this.

Simon Cowell, Harry Styles or Justin Timberlake?

Based on this picture of Justin Timberlake

looking slightly older than his younger days and he's in joggers...

That does happen.

-..I'm going to go with Justin Timberlake.

-That's correct!

Did Zayn say that, Sia or Jonas Blue?

Zayn definitely didn't.

Sia, I think, doesn't care enough

so I'm betting it's Jonas Blue.

You're correct!

-My detective skills are getting better now.

-You're so good at this.

Right, forget New Year resolutions - it's time for the big moment.

Bigger... The biggest...

Bigger than the biggest ever big thing you could ever imagine.

It's time for your playlist winner... Rayelist winner!

-It's time.

-It's the big moment.

-The time you've been waiting for.

-And voting for.

-Drum roll, please.

This is bigger than the X Factor final.

-Let's find out who is the winner...

-This week...

-Guys, this is so exciting!

-Let's go!

-Who is it?

Your winning playlist track is...

-Oh, I love her!

-She's such a babe, isn't she?

-She is.

I think she's going to be the next super-artist, you know.
