So many people have presented the Chart Show in recent weeks, including stand-in presenters. It gives the feel they don't see it as significant anymore. 

It used to be they'd have a permanent presenter and a stand-in presenter. Now they seem to pluck out whoever has time to do it!

Tbf, this week... Jack and Jordan are both at Glastonbury, hence why they can't host. It's generally either Jordan or James Cusack (who is hosting today) who stand in.

It’s less important these days the Christmas number 1 is now a charity single now X factor’s died and there’s different metrics to success. 

How many years has the sausage family been number one for like four or five gets to predictable.

I'd say it was an integral and iconic part of BBC Radio's offerings ... But then, I used to think that of the Classified Football Results.

I think it is defiantly has become integral to the brand and what you associate of radio 1 to document the weekly music trends and popular music and tracks. But with tracks sticking in weeks and months in the charts with little change have it being new number one every other week and bit easy and more competitive environment to getting into the top of the chart these days would make it interesting.

If there was bit more difference and change it would be more of a listen but think its not Radio 1 to blame but the chart doesn’t feel surprising or exciting.

Yep could not agree more it is over 20 years now since i started listening to Radio 1 because of my obsession with the Chart. I still really enjoy it. But when you think you have got rid of the Harry Styles track and it comes right back into the top 10.

The programme could always be shortened slightly (and/ or expand the Album Chart feature), to account for too much repetition ...

I’d consider making it from atleast reduce it to 17:00-17:45

But embed it in new programme of ‘Radio 1’s Trending Show’ reflect some show-biz music and entertainment news look at some of the movies out at the weekend and what to watch on streaming and also highlight the trending songs on TikTok and a future artist of the week.

It's never been the same since Mark Goodier went. Wes looked after the remains quite well for a few years after. But since CD singles, vinyl etc don't count at all anymore it's lost its magic a very long time ago.

on the grid.

To me what loses the magic is that with iTunes/Apple Music, Spotify, Shazam, Deezer, Amazon Music, YouTube and Tidal have their own streaming charts on their platforms and with the days of looking at the charts on the website these days can just google and find it all out.

I don't mind the fact that we can look it up for ourselves, per se ... It's more that phoney sense of suspense ('But who is No.2? etc ...) which is still used in the presentation of it.  Far better just to throw in some interesting (i.e., not so well known) facts about the records ...

Yes, the internet look for yourself and having an archive is incredibly important and exploring the facts of the record and maybe having more interviews with chart acts and speaking to those who top the album charts. Getting bit creative and doing something different beyond hearing what is up on the official charts webpage.

      Summer on Radio 1

      By R1Fan1 · Posted

      I suspect they’re gonna tie the announcement into something, or they’ve changed plans. I know we’ve said it as a joke but I wonder if Aled was planning on giving it to someone like Danny Beard, but he’s decided against that after the last few weeks. Seems clear to me, though, that if Jordan hadn’t left, then Katie would’ve taken Dean and Vicky’s slot and Matt and Mollie would’ve stayed on weekends, which probably explains why they haven’t picked a replacement yet. If it was going to be the obvious choice, I.e. James Cusack, surely they would’ve announced it by now..?

      Yep think they mentioned that this is their penultimate weekend of shows but then they will also be on air during Big Weekend and they mentioned they'll be doing 'Party Anthems' on stage during Big Weekend which sounds intriguing. Will miss Matt & Mollie on weekends - they in particular have made that Friday afternoon slot their own - but they'll be great on weekdays. Do wonder if 'Summer on Radio 1' is just a placeholder name until they decide on who will cover the interim. While it's obviously not the case it does feel like they've forgotten there's that weekend afternoon slot to fill given no permenant presenter has been announced for it yet.

      And Arielle mentioned in her Instagram post that her final early breakfast show is the 27th of June - the Thursday before Glastonbury

      When Matt covered breakfast on 22nd April, he said their new show was starting in 10 weeks, so that’d be the 1st July.

      Would love for it to be like the Summer Friday Thing that me and @DC were remisincing about recently. Lots of events going on that could easily form part of it.  https://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/summer/cardiff/thursday/1.shtml

      I'm guessing there is also a stack of weekend events like Glastonbury

      I think more likely it'll just be a temp presenter for weekends 1-4 to give Matt & Mollie time off, plus time to plan and pilot the new show.

      By Dan18F1 · Posted

      Yeah I don’t think they’ll be anything that drastic - maybe a week or 2 of cover on early breakfast etc, but maybe just having that weekend afternoon slot covered over the summer means they can put someone on from September who maybe isn’t available until then?

      But they said the main changes would happen in July.

      I wouldn't be surprised if they do this around June time: 05.00 Ore Olukoga 07.00 Greg James 10.30 RMC 14.00 VKJ  That'll probably happen (for my guess) from the 17th June. And for weekends: 07:00 Sam & Danni 11:00 Gregor Davidson 15:00 Charlie Hedges Maybe Fridays aswell: 07:00 Greg James 11:00 Gregor Davidson 14:30 Jack Saunders

      The Summer on Radio 1 thing makes me wonder whether they might be doing something similar to last year again where they have a temporary schedule over the summer before introducing changes in September - maybe the new host won’t start until after the summer?
