I hate that record. I really do. I think its awful. It might do well here, as a lot of crap records chart really high.

Nothing against David Hasselhoff. I remember loving Night Rider as a very young kid. When I was 10 I was obsessed with Baywatch and I thought he was really sexy. He holds a part of my youth.

But that song bites.

Thank you... that's what I've been desperately trying to tell everyone for the past 3 weeks.

So save the last dance

For me my love 'cause I

I see you as an angel freshly fallen from the sky...

William Hill have halved the price of David Hasselhoff having his first UK number 1 this weekend from 10/1 to 5/1 after the latest sales figures show that he has climbed to fourth in the mid week charts.

"A month ago I would have given you 1000/1 for David Hasselhoff having a UK number 1 and now we are 5/1. Please stop buying it as if he makes it we are going to lose a lot of money." said Hills spokesman Rupert Adams.

That really is sickening, Imagine if you put a few quid on him reaching number 1 at 1000/1 odds and it actually happening! :shock:

Now wouldn't that be attempted rigging by the betting companies?

It was about 6.45 as I was listening in my Shop which is a Betting Office for William hill, and as an unofficial spokesperson I can tell you that anyone who placed a bet at before Scott started the campaign would have got 1000/1 irrespective of what they changed the price to later on.

I'm a bookie, I know these things.

Sometimes here, sometimes not.

Yeah the price whenever you place the bet stands, surely? But if bookies start saying "dont buy it coz we'll lose loads of money" that's not on... surely thats the whole game of betting and being a bookie?

Bookies can say whatever they want, if people want to do as they suggest then that's up to them.

However If I were a smart bookmaker and wanted to make lots of money, then I'd presume the song wasn't gonna get to number 1, then give it a really low price to make it look like it's doing well and then do an interview saying stop buying it 'cos we'll have to pay loads out, thus encouraging other people to bet on it who wouldn't buy the song beause if the bookie is scared then it's probably going to happen when all along, the bookie knows it doesn't stand much chance of getting to no. 1

It's called something like reverse advertising or something I think.

EDIT - also 5/1 is not that good a price, I haven't seen the market, but I'll bet that if Razorlight are in it as well then it'll be odds on. so while 5/1 may seem like a good price compared to 1000/1 (from a bookies point of view) it's not that great.

Sometimes here, sometimes not.

Kinda like reverse psychology.

I live in Canada and I tried to download the Hoff Jump In My Car single from iTunes and it wouldn't let me. Whenever I tried to buy the song from the UK iTunes it just redirected me back the Canadian one which doesn't have the Hoff single. Blimey.

and I doubt the Canadian I-Tunes purchase would count toward the UK chart, even IF it was on there... Maybe it'll be released there sometime soon... oh well, thanks for trying anyways :biggrin:

      I must have missed that yesterday, sorry! Scott did make the same tongue in cheek comment on today's show about Rylan. It's a shame Rylan isn't the go to cover for Scott, I assume his commitments away from R2 prevent that. I enjoyed his last cover stint. Spoony is the go to stand in for the mid afternoon slot (he's covering again week after next while Scott's off getting married).   In that case, I think you're right!

      Not that last minute. Scott was talking about it on his own show yesterday, saying he and Rylan have a deal where they cover each other's shows but Rylan only covers Scott when he can be bothered!

      Sorry I should have been clearer, I meant daytime weekday. Weekend shows would count as a 'step up' from overnights for OJ.

      If we're counting the overnight slot, OJ Borg regularly covers weekend shows.

      The only weekday R2 DJ who would ever cover a weekend slot?!

      What I assume is a very last minute change... Scott Mills is in for Rylan today.

      Radio 1 at Parklife will be presented by Vicky and Nat. Nat is currently listed to present her usual Sunday show on that weekend but I imagine that will change and someone else will be doing it instead. The Radio 1 presenters at Download will be Daniel P Carter, Jack Saunders, Alyx Holcombe and Nels Hylton.

      Going Home with Vick, Katie and Jamie

      He’s definitely gotten better and the show has sounded fine this week. I think it been at its best when it’s been Katie and Jamie or Vick and Katie. Vick and Jamie are ok together, but I do think the show sounds better when it’s Vick and Katie and therefore I still don’t really understand the point of the trio.    Jamie is, however, a lot better than Danny Beard!

      The RAJAR coming on later this year reflecting later summer to autumn will be interesting to how it reflects Matt and Mollie in afternoons to the revised changes on radio 1’s new music slots and the schedule re-shuffling Radio 3 introducing a new slate of programmes. Then, later on this year have speech radio stations having domestic political coverage of the election but also America’s presidential election.

      I actually caught snippets of today’s show, and I found it much better than the last time I listened. I have made it no secret that I like Jamie on the radio, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed Matt & him together last year. People have criticised him for not being relatable, but I have to agree with the comment above that I have always found him a naturally warm person to listen to. Maybe the going home set up was something that needed settling in and things are starting to take shape.  It must have been difficult for him joining an established duo in Vick & Katie to begin with.  Jamie was great on something songs today, fully engaged in the caller and sounded like a real presenter. Maybe he is doing as a lot of us hoped and really learning as he goes, how to do it properly.

      Agree with this. The anti-Jamie feeling was IMO quite influenced by the negativity around him replacing Jordan, since Jordan was exceptional and also universally loved. When people mention Danny and Jamie in the same sentence about bad hiring decisions I almost choke - Jamie may not be perfect but he's several leagues better than Danny already and has bags of potential. Danny is poor and has shown zero potential...

      Jamie started 4 March, and the figures only going up to 31 March, so it isn't reliable. But it has shown the numbers have dropped in afternoons compared to last quarter. It looks like it's Capital's gain.
