Given one of yesterday’s ‘bangers’ was Noah Kahan’s Stick Season, I doubt it.

No chart show on the 24th May because of Big Weekend.

Just Vick and Katie on Wednesday (and presumably Thursday as well).

Wow, surprised he signed a new contract in September but it says a lot about Jordan that he continued to a very high standard throughout last summer/autumn if this was all going on in the background.

I doubt he wanted to go to Global if a slot before he found out kemp was leaving.

What a nightmare link at 11.15am this morning. Spent 30 seconds waffling about the name of The Last Dinner Party as if he’d never heard it before, then started mentioning Capital and the license fee, and how it’s been used to pay for him to be there, and was then cut off by the start of the next song.

The playlist has definitely got a bit narrower this year, it feels like. Artists like Taylor Swift, Harry Styles, Drake and Doja Cat seem to be played in every show, even when they’re not on the playlist. Other artists who get a few plays a week, such as Niall Horan, always seem to have the same song played, in his case, Heaven. Whenever they dive into Calvin Harris’ backlog it always seems to be Slide and Promises pulled out, even though they’re two of his least upbeat songs. Most songs they play seem to have been from the 2020s, instead of throwing in a few older hits like Capital does, which is something I think they could do.

Hi to both, miss you loads on radio 1 and hope that you’re doing good at capital What was the background to your exits from Radio 1? Do you have any regrets from how it ended? This one’s more to Jordan, but do you enjoy TV presenting more than radio? What are your targets in TV?

Fair play to Jordan north who’s got himself to 5th least distracting, but Greg has managed 8th MOST distracting, and Rickie who is 12th most distracting.

Danny beard might be available. They might just tell Jamie not to come in and give it to Sam and Danni instead tbf. Arielle’s off Early Breakfast all week but is doing her new show on Thursday so she may be about as well.

Ideally it would make sense to line the radio numbers up with the channel numbers; so Radio 1 becomes Radio 3, Radio 2 becomes Radio 1, Radio 3 becomes Radio 4, etc, but obviously this is all quite unlikely.

No, he’ll be joining them on Thursdays ‘soon.’

Should’ve got yourself to Tesco Extra Watford last Friday for a free Calgone sample…

It’s a mix of factors; Chris talked about playing the ‘lad’ role on Radio 1 and how he had continued doing so in the last few years despite being a father and sort of growing up himself, so it makes sense that he’d reinvent himself here. Also unfortunately Capital is quite ‘slick.’ They’ve been given some leeway with the Breakfast show but they still have strict timings and lengths to keep to unlike at Radio 1.
