You haven't seen her play at Glasto etc if you think there's no presence. No denying the Kate Bush influence, but that's no bad thing, not trying to be something she's not like Madge, eh?

Also the Machine does exist, but the lineup evolves sometimes, not even her best friend Isa has been a constant presence in the band... Just keep showing how little you know.

You think Madge is 'continually evolving'? More like trying desperately to be 'cool' because her old material doesn't cut it anymore. Compare to someone like Debbie Harry who still tours and hasn't changed a thing, hasn't felt the need to update because her material had a timeless quality that Madonna's never did.

Florence and won't NEED to change or find something else to do because some record company exec tells her it's 'cool', she'll do things HER way and not be brainwashed thank you very much.

Same reasons that even with all the money she's made, she is still humble unlike the overrated insane yank, still even sleeps on a mattress on the floor in her mum's living room (on the rare occasions she's actually AT home, and not working hard or touring).

Compare to Madonna who now she's no longer married to a film director feels the need to grab attention at every opportunity, even adopting 'orphans' not for their good, but for her own PR good (same reason she's doing the Superbowl tomorrow night, a part of the show many are expecting to suck ass, by the way).

So yes, she is still around, but what's the point when she's a shadow of what she was in the 80s? Feel free to keep getting the word wrong too ;)

Well her 'brothers' would say that now, wouldn't they... By those terms, Jordan is also a marketing genius... well, her agent is, but you wouldn't want that skank around these days either, she has to keep pulling little stunts to keep mindless masses happy too.

You won't get rid of Flo (or her peers such as Adele, come to think of it) that easily, not when she had 2 years between albums, returned and was much missed)

No Nicki Minaj (whoever she is, I actually don't know or care), was PAID to say she loves her, probably part of the same record company. Surely being a Madonna fan, you know how sponsorship/whoring works? Thanks for proving one point though, she's only doing anything for attention and cash.

Yes, of course everyone is "paid". same way many peeps will be paid to say they love belch. madonna would never lower her perfect standards to appear on xfactor. so, madonna makes lots o cash... That's just a great business lady. or perhaps you are just bitter because you will never aspire to such greatness. god knows why madonna is apparently v nervous about the superbowl and costume malfunctions, because nobody prepares better, whilst making it look like it took five mins.

Delta Machine, Depeche Mode - buy NOW !!

you ain't gonna like this, but I'm with Viv on this one. Florence and her machine are dreadful, unfortunately anyone can buy music these days including those with no taste which is why her albums do so well. Its also why we have so much bilge in the charts these days

Not impressed with censorship

Seriously, if we all stop comparing everything to Madonna, would the world be a better place? I think so.

Florence has genuine talent, as does Adele, as does loads of artists around at the moment. It's just the not so talented ones that people judge music by, then say that everyone who's in the charts are crap.

Good line up except for florence. there is always that spanner in the works, i guess. i am a bit concerned that hackney want a "handling fee" from listeners. What do we pay licence fee for?!?

Well, I'm guessing that because it's such a bug event, then they need something for handling.If this was any other concert, you wouldn't be moaning. Don't you moan enough about the licence fee? Surely this is so that people who aren't going don't have to pay as much for it as the people who are...:rolleyes:

    • But he is posh, the opposite to Jordan. Not down to earth. You’re right, the show does play on it. If I’m honest, I stopped listening to Going Home, the day Laing started. Sam and Danni were better. 😂
    • It’s not necessarily the fact that Jamie is posh. It’s that the show seems to be really keen to play on it. Within 10 minutes of their first show they were playing voice notes from his Celeb mates. Compare that to Vick and Jordan’s first week in September 2021; their first links were about Jordan’s awkward encounter with his plumber and Vick slapping a roast chicken.    And then on Monday this week, Jamie is sulking (exaggerated sulking admittedly) about something, this ultimately being that another of his celeb mates has cancelled his appearance on their show, and they’re literally reading out texts such as ‘I’m sure this is going to be relatable to the entire population.’
    • That’s a last minute change!
    • Jordan, Greg, they’re down to earth. That’s what makes them resonate so much with listeners.  
    • It's a bizarre thing though....it would be nice to hear a few more tracks from the past 10 years mixed into daytime. However, at the other extreme, I find it odd how often really old tracks come up on Anthems and even the likes of Soundsystem Party and Dance Anthems.   The odd throwback is great but sometimes it feels too much.
    • I do like Cat Burns but it’s a good point about the many artists on future artists and other specialist shows. If they manage to launch the ‘Anthems’ like sister station hope they make changes to the stations playlist.
    • Some shows do play some songs from pre-2018 regularly. Mainly Matt & Mollie and Radio 1 Breakfast. Also don't forget the shortened Anne-Marie - Ciao Adios which gets played every 26 seconds. 😂
    • I hate reverse snobbery and I post this reluctantly as we shouldn't hold Jamie's background against him, but I do think many listeners will find it hard to identify with Jamie.  One of the things that made Jordan so popular was he sounded like the mate you go for a pint with who always has a great story to tell.
    • Absolutely - life would be dull if we all liked the same things  
    • Dean in for Greg on Tuesday.
    • While it maybe doesn't the power it once has (where being on the A-List was a big deal), It's a big part of the station and I felt probably deserves it's own thread. Have to be honest I haven't been hugely enamored with the playlist in recent times. Radio 1 seem quite heavily wedded to it in weekdays (at least Monday-Thursday) which can lead to the station being repetitive if you listen throughout the day. Even a station like Capital who are known for their limited playlist seem to throw in some older tracks and artists ever so often whereas if it's not Something Songs, 10 Minute Takeover or Anthems you often struggle to hear a song from before 2018. The repetitive nature has been a thing for a while though to be fair - I recall early 2021 in particular it felt like Tiesto's 'The Business' and Olivia Rodrigo's 'Drivers Licence' were played every other hour. Also certain Radio 1 favourites seem almost guaranteed a slot on the playlist even if they don't actually appear to be wildly popular with the target audience to justify it. I get it with your Dua Lipas, Calvin Harrises, Fred Agains  and Olivia Rodrigos as they're all very popular but less so if it's say Cat Burns, Aitch, Royal Blood or Mabel. Which is fine to an extent as Radio 1 has often focussed on promoting new music but then you have great music by other new artists that just never makes it to the playlist as a result.
    • Yep I really struggled with Matt & Jamie which was a shame as otherwise really like Matt. Unfortunately it comes across on-air whether it's actually try or not that Jamie doesn't know a lot about radio and doesn't seem particularly desperate to improve either or if I'm being generous he's playing an act - neither of which particularly appeals. The everyman act can sometimes work but you need to have that natural likability and appeal for it to do so in the way that way Chris Stark did. I mean even towards the end of his stint with Matt Jamie was struggling with getting the Whatsapp number right which is a basic.
    • Have to say even if there is a good reason for Jamie to be off on Thursdays the optics of them a month in still not be able to do a 'normal week' of the scheduled team for a brand new show isn't great. And if Jamie was meant to be away on Thursdays clearly nobody let whoever runs BBC Sounds know. Who would've guessed from the Vick & Jordan days though that it would be Vick who's the everpresent so far (just kidding Vick - really rate her as a DJ and I know she has a lot of other engagements outside of Radio 1).
    • Sorry explain what you mean there please? Danny is unlistenable??
