Only one radio station removed it, and Radio 2 wouldn't typically play that kind of music anyway outside of the chart recaps. Considering how openly most radio DJs hated how often they had to play the song, I'm guessing Colin just took any opportunity he could to get rid of it.

This sounds correct. Novely records can chart high with little to no airplay, no real DJ wants to touch them for obvious reasons.
