Right... I know you'll probably think I am complaining again...... well, actually I guess I am, but to be totally blunt, I actually wish people would STOP trying to influence the Xmas number 1.... either with the release of X-factor drivel, or these kind of stunts. Let's just go back to the days when things just unfolded naturally!! * (sort of).

* just a thought? !

Do. NOT. JOIN. this. campaign. for. 2010, people!!!!! Make this year the year you think for yourselves!!! Reject the campaign, grow a brain, and let's get some new and innovative talent into the Charts, people!!!

I agree with Annalie's comment on facebook: Annalie: "I think for once, we should actually have some proper GOOD chart music as the Christmas number 1. Or even an actual Christmas song. Or both."

Join my new and innovative music group in my profile, let's hear something obscure, something that hasn't gone out there and should do!!

For that to happen, XCraptor would have to stop, but I got news for ya Viv, even BEFORE crap like that, there were always campaigns for Number 1 at Christmas. It just didn't happen on the same scale or via social media, and it was organised by the record companies. Personally I'd rather have it be the actual will of the people to have a certain song released for the Christmas chart than it all be controlled by Cowell and other Record Industry crooks.

Loving your phrase - XCraptor !! Go for it!! And yeh, I know what you mean anyway!! I just don't like campaigns smack in my face, I guess, or over-commercialised Xmas drivel in my face, from perfume adverts to music..... They only feel like something targetted at people with a complete inability to think for themselves, or to realise who is in fact profiting.

Curiously enough, despite God knows how many artists performing Xmas songs and releasing albums, or determination of Record Companies, I have never felt pressure to buy an album on account of the time of year. :-) *

* and the same goes for the Ibiza "summer" stuff!!

I wasnt to impressed with Scotts veiw of trying to stay impartial today, he was the one to come up with the idea he should continue to back it.

And personally as long as Matt Cardel doesnt get to number one im happy, i cant stand his cover of the song.

Even before xfactor the days of who got christmas number one were dominated by Simon Cowel with Westlife geting xmas number ones.

Sorry if for any spelling mistakes, I'm dyspraxic.

LOL reminded me of the Thunderbird 3 launch from that awful movie version of Thunderbirds (the one that had the equally awful Busted song on the soundtrack). Also so many nitpicks I can't count there. :P Still also love the bit in Full Metal Jacket that uses it but can't find a good quality version on the 'tube.

Wow, and people claim FIFA and the FIA are corrupt/easily paid off... ;):P

O dear, so the campaign failed. :-)

I am glad Rhianna went so high.... AND, it was minus a campaign, so it kind of shows people actually want to listen to talent, rather than just anybody. Still a pity the Cowell machine went to number one. Incidentally, Matt's book is out, if anyone would like to read the fascinating facts about his life. Buy now.... by this time next year, it should be going for 0.01p on amazon.

      Less so with 5 Live. But with Nihal, Nicky Campbell and Mark Chapman get what you are saying.6 Music does have that with Huw Stephens, Mary Anne Hobbs, Gilles Peterson, Marc Riley and Mark Radcliffe

      Agreed, Martha seems to quietly taken over as host of the Tuesday Bass and Big Beats show that Annie Nightingale did would be good to have some promotion to be done for her show. Agreed with this on bank holidays on a Radio 1 dance day inpaticular would be quite good to have Sarah Storey, Jaguar, Jeremiah Asiamah, Charlie Tee and Martha presenting. I always felt that in Christmas and New Year previously having Victoria Jane to do a Future Soul take over playlist.

      To be fair to him, this week and next week he’s on his podcast tour which was arranged well before he started on R1. After that I would guess he’ll start being on everyday?

      It’s Jamie’s dream of a lifetime to be a full time Radio 1 presenter apparently, but he can only do it 2 or 3 days a week.

      Radio 1 generation meaning??  Today's 10-30 yr-olds? I doubt it. They'll still know Pete Tong though, because he is rhyming slang!

      There was a time when everyone knew Zane Lowe or Annie Mac or Judge Jules or Dave Pearce or Annie Nightingale. Does the Radio 1 generation know the current bunch?

      Would be nice to give more presence to the specialist shows over bank holidays. Surely the best way to promote new music credentials over anthems? As much as I accept it's very popular.

      Peak radio 1 ! I agree with Bluestraw there was huge presence by specialist presenters then , certainly something I think radio1 could do more of now. Remember the takeover where specialist DJs would swap into main shows for a week? Or do we recall In New DJs We Trust, the competition on Chris moyles show where the winner would get a DJ set at radio 1s Ibiza weekend, and that is how Danny Howard’s radio career starters

      Yeah. He started on R1 in the late 90's when they used do the 'Sessions in the Nations' where they used to split for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. He then moved to daytimes, firstly on weekends in 2003 then they replaced Mark & Lard on the mid afternoon slot in 2004.  Then he moved to late evenings as a specialist DJ.

      Thanks for sharing that - I don't think I've seen it before. Didn't realise that Colin Murray off of Countdown and R5L used to be on R1! Several other current R2/R5L/R6M names there too.

      Where do we think Radio 2 in the Park will be this year? Personally I'm thinking Swindon after Scott's clue of it having many roundabouts and since Big Weekend is at Luton I can't imagine they'd go to Milton Keynes.

      Yeah, I feel like they need a big push on Jack to cement him in his new position. But it shouldn't just be Jack, you've got Sian and Alyx for instance, who are relatively new faces.

      Jordan North's first Capital Radio breakfast show

      By AndyK77 · Posted

      Now in it's third week, the new Capital Breakfast Show seems to be settling down well and there are more of the informal, random Jordan topics appearing.  Though it is clear he wants to be seen slightly differently. It really is a very decent listen.
