Bird is the Word for Christmas #1

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.

    • I see Katie (and Mairead) were out with Jordan tonight.  I don’t listen to the show any longer, I am shocked they are allowed to mention Jordan.
    • At least I do not ask stupid questions…😂
    • I suggest you follow the other DJs too if so, you will learn the hardest working will go further 🤣
    • A simple check on his instagram would answer all your questions , he’s on tour with his wife and the team behind his podcast. I suggest anyone to follow the radio presenters, you will learn a lot about their other jobs and work commitments. 
    • Where is Jamie? It felt like he was settling in when Vick wasn’t on but he’s not been on since last Tuesday now. They’ve not even mentioned him, in fact they’ve mentioned Jordan more than they’ve mentioned him in the last two days.
    • Scott's show is on the road next week, live from Malmö in Sweden on Wednesday and Friday, ahead of Eurovision. As he's doing the semi final coverage on the TV on Tuesday and Thursday alongside Rylan, Gary Davies sits in for him on those days.
    • I don't feel there's so much overlap between M&M and Scott's shows. M&M is of a similar calibre to Scott & Chris on R1, with genuine laugh out loud moments and usually a show packed full of real interesting content. Scott's R2 show is IMO a shadow of the stuff he did on R1 (not his fault, he's doing exactly what station management want), with music and content to appeal to a much older audience.
    • To be fair, Scott & Chris would've still been fine on Radio 1. It was mentioned at the time that Scott's move was very much on Radio 2's part rather than Radio 1 wanting to move them on. That's the one problem that Radio 2 has, trying to appeal to such a wide demographic.. it's the perfect listen for many, but equally a turn off for many others. I think they have the balance fairly right.     
    • I agree Scott has always been a good standalone presenter, but always better when with someone. When chappers left the radio one show it felt a different show and Chris joining was what it needed and brought new life. for the format of the radio 2 show Scott’s show fits well with the station but again, there’s the huge gap between radio1 and 2 As been said already old radio2 listeners feel it now feels too young with latest changes, yet old radio1 listeners still feel radio 2 feels too old. The inbetween stage demographic of too old for radio 1 but too young for radio 2 is still not catered for radio 2 was left to grow old with its audience for too long and to change things up now feels to try and change a brand image the right thing to do is leave it as it is and cater for that 1.5 demographic which I’m sure the new proposed 00s and 10s station will do if approved. Problem is it’s so overdue that by the time it gets off the ground these listeners are already likely to be lost and the changing image of radio2 likely to lose what it stands for as a brand with the “it’s too young now “  moving to boom and the “ it still sounds old “ crowd not able to move with their favourite presenters like Scott so finding themself on capital a radio 1.5 would have been perfect for Scott and Chris, seems unlikely but this is why I think who branding of bbc radio needs a rethink if these new stations get off ground
    • Bank Holiday Monday Schedule 6am-10am: Arielle Free in for Greg 10am-2pm: Dean & Vicky (No Rickie, Melvin & Charlie) 2pm-6pm: Vick & Jamie (No Katie) 6pm onwards: As normal.
    • Dare I say they've sounded great this past week?  Very much gelling.  Maybe less pressure?  Seem to be having a genuinely good time and not forcing things.
    • I'm in the minority in my workplace, most of them love country music.  Me, the American, does not care for it.  That said, I haven't haaaaaated some of the country adjacent stuff that's been on the R1 playlist.  
    • The Eurovision semi finals are on from 8 to 10pm on Tuesday 7th and Thursday 9th May with Richie Anderson. That means Sara Cox in on till 8 on those days.  Saturday 11th May is Eurovision 'Super Saturday... 1-3pm Your Ultimate Abba song with Gary Davies  3-6pm Michelle Visage's Eurovision All Stars 6-8pm Eurovision Request Party with Owain Wynn Evans 8pm Eurovision Grand Final with Scott Mills and Rylan Clark  
    • It is funny because everyone thought Matt was on the way out, now he's been described as the heir to Mills.
