Electrobix reacted to coffeeandgin in The Radio 1 Playlist
I think tracks like the NewEra Birds in the Sky one sort of highlight my issue with the Radio 1 playlist perfectly.
Surely as a new music station it's the sort of song Radio 1 should be championing - a new Irish DJ duo with a song that is exploding in popularity and is right on brand with Radio 1 and has now reached the Top 20. Ticks all the boxes and has got a fair bit of play on shows Dance Party or Party Anthems.
Yet months after its release it's only now reaching the C-List and making its way to daytime and with it being on the C-List will only probably be played a handful of times across the week. Whereas artists like Royal Blood say seem to get an open pass to the playlist.

I'm old enough to remember how Ibiza weekend finished Lia I'Anson's Radio 1 tenure

Electrobix got a reaction from BBCAaron in Going Home with Vick and Jordan on Radio 1
It really bugs me that Greg does this - I know there are much better things to use my energy on, but I can't help it! He went through BBC Sounds earlier and still referred to it as "The Radio 1 Breakfast Show" even though the correct name "Radio 1 Breakfast with..." would've been right there! Either use its proper name or change it, I think "Radio 1 Breakfast" is better anyway.
Whilst I'm having a pointless rant, the shows that end "with [presenter]" sound so daft when the named presenter is off. Just put the name of the stand-in or leave it off. "Radio 1's Dance Party with Annie Mac with Danny Howard" is not good. (Not that that'll be back again ?).

The end of an era: Round 2. Really enjoying this week's shows, especially the nighttime flashbacks and the music, looking forward to tomorrow.

Electrobix reacted to 1_tw in Annie Mac to leave Radio 1
With the greatest of respect the best description of her live lounge slot would be extremely safe pair of hands, she hasn't torn it up or done anything ground breaking with it. Annie truly is in the once in a generation category and it will be some years before someone else comes along and does the same thing.

Absolutely loved last night's Grimmy & Annie (does anyone call them Gr'Annie?) co-host, shows why they're both going to be so missed - was a wonderful trip down memory lane.
Here goes the last show - so sad it's the end but you know it's going to be brilliant.
Is Annie the best Radio 1 DJ ever? She could just be.

Electrobix reacted to radio1fan in Annie Mac to leave Radio 1
Last night’s penultimate show was a brilliant listen, with Grimmy and Annie essentially hosting a two hour nostalgia trip.
Last show starting in a few minutes, and it really feels like the end of an era, as Annie’s show has introduced me and many many others to loads of new music over the years.
I’m sure Clara will do a great job at championing new artists on Radio 1, and I’m excited to hear the new era of the station.

Well, that was the beginning of the end i guess... Really liked the stories, especially the cruel prank one and the Westwood one. God, I'm gonna miss them...

Electrobix reacted to jordifens in Radio 1’s Summer Breakout
Just feels like a ridiculously contrived format. It's obvious that each deciphered clue won't be the exit password and the fact ther are only two guesses a show max just kills the pace of it. The production team have put together 5 days of content so there's no way Greg will 'guess' the password before Friday's Breakfast Show. Yawn.

Today Annie asked Grimmy to co-host with her on the 29th of July, it's gonna be a must listen.

An on air joint farewell party (i know Grimmy doesn't leave until a few weeks after Annie) with the pair of them would make good listening. I hope we get something along those lines.

I hope we get one final Annie and Grimmy co-host, as it would be the best way to end

Electrobix reacted to Jono in Grimmy to leave Radio 1
Personally I'd like them to announce before September that we're going back to a Monday to Friday schedule with the exception of the chart show. Doesn't seem likely though.

Electrobix reacted to Jono in When will nick grimshaw be replaced?
I think Grimmy sounds great on afternoons, much better than his breakfast show. My only complaint is I'd rather he did 4 til 7. The 5.45 finish still seems too abrupt.
Feels like this site is a bit too caught up on fantasy schedules and departures at the moment!
