For me, 10 years ago this playlist was what I was listening to when I started listening to radio 1! https://web.archive.org/web/20090109065423/http://www.bbc.co.uk:80/radio1/playlist/

Ok so Shallow is number 1 and I love this song. Could anyone please tell me why it's not played on radio 1?

Following up on Welovemoylespart2's post about Fantasy Christmas schedules, I was thinking, If you were the controller of Radio 1, what would your dream schedule be? What would keep you listening 24/7! Here's mine:
Weekdays
6:30-10:00: Radio 1 Breakfast With Greg James
10:00-13:00: Adele Roberts (Feat. Live Lounge)
13:00-16:00: Matt & Mollie
16:00-19:00: Scott & Chris
19:00-21:00: Future Sounds With Annie Mac & Nick Grimshaw
21:00-23:00: Charlie Sloth
 
Weekends
6:30-10:00: Weekend Breakfast With Dev
10:00-13:00: Jordan North
13:00-16:00: Alice Levine
16:00-19:00: Chart With Scott/Dance Anthems with Mistajam/Life Hacks with cel&katie.

"Not very sophisticated but funny" 17.10.2013 Worth it just for the cleaner who walks in at around 19:48

The Radio 1 Breakfast Show with Nick Grimshaw - whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

He smashed it. I am looking forward to tomorrow!

I LOVE Game of Phones. What a brilliantly stupid idea!

"someone's doing well"

i think a "Going To Work" song would be pretty funny start for the first few weeks. Then they can ditch it like "Going Home Song". But think that would really set up the kind of show it will be.

Also hoping that Scott & Chris do a couple red button commentaries again like the last World Cup and Euros.

Listen, watch, share 
whoooooooooooooooooo!

That's from the 6 Music service licence - its remit is focussed on its output, not its audience it seems.

Jordan is going to go to bigger and better things quickly. Matt seems to be focusing a lot more on TV presenting and producing, so I wouldn't be surprised if Jordan replaced Matt as Scott's cover presenter very soon. Radio 1 has 2 very good northerner presenters in Danny and Jordan and a bit of a rubbish one in Grimmy. All from Lancashire though, wouldn't mind seeing some representation from Yorkshire.

Love the montage! Really pleased they're going all out on the 50th celebrations, the digital station is a brilliant idea. Surprised Scott wasn't included but I suppose he's still a current presenter. Would've liked to see Nick Grimshaw & Annie Mac from the Switch days on the line-up and Reggie Yates & Fearne Cotton rather than just Fearne considering Reggie was on both R1 and 1Xtra for so long and they were a great pairing (Fearne's best days were with Reggie).
Regarding Moyles, it would've looked ridiculous and petty if they didn't include him (longest serving breakfast presenter and all that)- also, it's nothing to do with Global. Radio 1 own all of The Chris Moyles Show content and it'll all still be on their systems somewhere.
Hope Live Lounge Month is a bit different to usual. Would also love Annie Mac to do some shows reflecting on the new acts Radio 1 have broken early on in their careers over the years. A countdown of the best 50 songs Radio 1 has played over the 50 years would be amazing too. Put out a shortlist of 100 and people can vote on the website. Count it down on the last Thursday in September- Scott doing 50-26 from 1-4pm and then Greg doing an Official Chart Special revealing the Number 1 before 5:45.

DAB pop up "Radio 1 Vintage" station for three days from 30th September with one hour extracts from archive shows. Tony Blackburn and Nick Grimshaw to launch it with a joint show and... MOYLES IS BACK!*
*although I'm not sure how big his role will be, the article suggests it'll just be a five minute introduction to his retro show segments. 
Very excited about this.

Thoughts?

God he has an irritating voice. Sounds so forced and unnatural. Reminds me of when Chris Moyles does his wacky deejay impression. 

If anyone wants to hear some early Chris Stark appearances, the first I could find was the 8th June 2010 podcast when he thought Scott was going to be called up to play for England in the World Cup, and a very funny one on 29th June 2010 where he was talking about spending an entire month's wages on World Cup merchandise.

I think he's right. Not only that, most tracks sound similar to everything else now which makes it difficult for Radio 1.
Back in say 2005 Radio 1 could say play 3 songs in a row, Foo Fighters, Pendulum & Girls Aloud. Each song completely different to the other. You couldn't imagine that now, rock music doesn't seem to be doing very well. Dance is in a better state than the 2010 EDM Swedish House Mafia phase, but still is way off it's millenium peak. And pop is just dominated by Ed Sheeran.
Look at how the likes of Maroon 5 & Linkin Park have changed to try and fit in with the current sound. Even Paramore's new track sounds nothing like a Paramore song.

God I love the Guardian. I read that, it's so interesting. Love that Scott is now a musicology expert.
