Why does BBC homepage say it's Fergie?

Which Fergie? Opened up a can of worms now... Fergie off of Radio 1 presenting? Fergie the singer playing? Mine says the Foo Fighters for Now Playing.

Haha, he said it so seriously. Yup, I am desperate for it to be Elvis.

It must just be timed for the chart show then. Actually, it's just lagging by one song. It's a cool feature, but doesn't half mess up. Now saying James Blunt for Timbaland.

:cry: Gutted, I was so thinking this would be Number 1. Bloody kids :D

He's not moving from his position last week. Stick in there.

Also I always get bad pictures in my head of fat guys, cheesburgers and toilets :(

I'm sorry to hear that.

Is it just me who finds Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway quite naff these days? It was funny to start with, but it's something I have to avoid when my family are watching it. I just don't get the jokes anymore.

Pffft, just tried to check on Orange how many minutes I have left and some chavette is greeting me. What happened to the nice old lady that they had :(

Quite a catchy little number from J-Lo this one. Almost as good as 'Play'.

I prefer watching Abi from The Zutons do her thing!

Yes Zutons are great, I really like them. Don't think they've had a chart success since Why Won't You Give Me Your Love.

Also Abi plays sax - well known to be the sexiest instrument (NOT accordian, whatever some people may say)

UM is a nice place

*Makes a Kate Nash voice about him not being bittttterrrr*

It's going to be weird not having Dance Anthems after the chart show. Long gone are the days when I used to reach for the off button as soon as Mark Goodier was off the chart.

The problem with Fearne and Reggie doing the chart show is they never bloody work together.

So it will probably rule out Scott doing much more chart show, as it'll probably be Radio 1's Chart Show with Reggie half of the time.

A good top three this week:-

3. Shayne Ward

2. Fedde Le Grande

1. Sugababes

A worthy Number 1 still methinks. So that's it then for the chart show. The end of another era. No doubt there'll be funky jingles and stuff next week.

Samanda for Number 1. Woo... This Hoosiers song still sounds like something off of ELO.

Anyway, if you're around it'd be nice to see you between 7.00am and 10.00am tomorrow.

    • 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.
    • Some similar names to Big Weekend.  Sabrina Carpenter, David Guetta, Perrie, Bradley Simpson, Jax Jones, Caity Baser, Benson Boone, Rudimental. David Guetta is a good name. 
    • Still Scott for me. I'm not too much into the 70s and 80s radio 2 play but do love the injection of 90s and 00s. Then Radio 2 push for all this country stuff and it not a UK thing, and I frankly don't like it. Scott's show as in features, hit and miss. I like the music police bit, but it feels like someone needs to join him. It's a shame Chappers is so busy with sports, as it feels like it could do with someone like him jumping on to help. Or a new partner. Radio 1, take or leave. Matt and Mollie are OK from what I've heard and share a good connection, but it's the playlist that throws me off. They could bring back Chris Moyles to do that show, but as soon as something like Headie One comes on with that casino keyboard produced crap. It would still be switched off from me. 
    • Reading through this thread, I don't feel quite so alone now, in thinking that Scott Mills on R2 is not a good 'fit' (even less so than on R5).  I can't quite explain why this is so - I just know it to be so.
    • Arielle has been on holiday for the last 2 weeks getting married / honeymoon.  It'll be live from this week onwards.
    • CassKidd is in for Sian on Sunday 5th May.
    • The brought to tiers feature was also very good from them. I did wonder which DJ's were going to get picked out of the hat, that could have gone one way or the other and the caller said they were very opinionated lol. Correct decision putting katie in god tier!
    • The extended Dua Lipa track from M&M was very funny. I'm hoping Matt and Mollie and Scott have a good relationship a bit like Greg and Zoe collaborate on-air sometimes.
    • Gary Davies in for Vernon Kay tomorrow (Monday 29th April).
