I was suprised at the success of Umbrella, it's always seemed quite naff to me.

Me too, I really don't know why everyone's going on about it being the "best pop song of the year", it just sounds really generic and dull to me.

So save the last dance

For me my love 'cause I

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

Can't believe it is Number 1 again.

Who the hell is still buying a song about umbrellas?!

When I first heard it, it was like' yeh, another song that'll come and go like all the others' and then it stayed.

I don't undrestand how it's kept its popularity for 5 weeks.

Her last track sounded like something Beyonce didn't want. And even Beyonce's work needs the Freemasons to sound good these days.

I have a multi-coloured umbrella in my bedroom, it's got a green handle. The girls in the year group two years below brought it for me one christmas. She didn't really narrow it down to one umbrella, and for that, I hate her.

I have probably heard that Umbrella song but I thankfully can't think of how it goes because I have done my best to ignore it. The singles chart means nothing nowadays, completely crap songs can sit at the top of it for weeks for no apparent reason while brilliant songs bypass the top 40 entirely.

The Duke of Edinburgh does not approve.

She may have a decent new song, I don't know, but I've heard her other singles and she sounds no different to any other female R n B artist out there. It would just make her a one hit wonder.

Interesting that umbrella seems to be liked by some people who're a bit emo who say it's about caring, the umbrella being a metaphorical one.

Just listened to the Amerie song and it's pap, I think she's probably a talented singer though, just needs better material.

UM is a nice place

I'll tell you the truth. Honestly, when it's on, I find myself singing along and even dancing sometimes. The thing is, once it's over, I can't remember how it goes at all. A good song, to me, is something that stays in my head, something that I can sing along to while it's in my head. Amerie's new single just doesn't do that with me.

      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.

      Do these audience figures reflect Jordan leaving and Jamie replacing him?

      I think Jamie is really starting to settle into the role well. He comes across as really warm, and genuinely invested in the listeners when he’s talking to them which is nice. I think he’s building a really great relationship with Vicki and Katie too. His recent great company podcast is great too, where he has quite a deep chat with someone new each week. He’s clearly a very genuine person and I think he has some real potential.

      Most probably. But do wonder what the future of the relax themed programmes will be when they officially wind down that service.

      I think it's just to replace Wind Down presents... which was in that timeslot, and I'm guessing Chillout Anthems was just a buffer since it'll still be played at 06:00 on Sundays.

      With listening on the U.K. for the industry in general it is good overall as most stations reach is on the up and shows radio to be more sustainable and stable outlet than linear televisions channels. This RAJAR I think with the increase shift to DAB+ the BBC will be able to say it has it’s audiences for the proposed new stations it wishes to launch and think the new innovative ideas that it seems Jack himself can take credit for on the new music show think the younger under 30 gen z demographic could increase se in that time-slot.
