It makes me nervous that they are so sure of the success of the song  

SL got plenty of Payola in the UK. 

[Jase 13,043]

Past Radio 1 playlist runs

Lady Gaga - Stupid Love [B-B-A-A-A-A-A-A-A]
Lady Gaga - The Cure [C-B-B-B]
Lady Gaga - Million Reasons [not playlisted]
Lady Gaga - Perfect Illusion [C-C-C-C]

Doing more digging. Nothing from ASIB was playlisted but they don't tend to playlist movie soundtrack songs

*TEOG debutted straight to A-List but shared plays with Judas who went up to the A-List in the same week, so Rain On Me is the first Gaga single to be fully supported by BBC Radio 1 since its release!

[S0436 10,215]

To be A-listed straight away on R1 and R2 shows it’s not just payola, the playlist committee heard the song and think it will be well received by listeners.

[Alphaz 7,941]

I guess Scooter really doing his job for Gaga's team this time.
