Why are the sugababes, with their Right Said Fred stuff samples from years back playlisted??

What is the purpose to the Sugababes?? I've been wondering that for a while now.

Because even their worst stuff is more memorable than Madonna's latest song.

Silly boys

They lovin' me so much

Silly boys

You can look but you can't touch

Silly boys

I ain't got no time to talk

Silly boys

Just shut up and watch me walk

Cause I'm too sexy in this club

Too sexy in this club

So sexy it hurts

True words of role models. It's practically the word sexy on repeat over a beat.

It's basically just saying "I'm f*cking hot but I'm also a big cocktease" and to be honest, that would have made a much better song.

HA!!! And right there, you have proved exactly the point I am getting at. A station more & more obsessed with "young things" at the moment... and getting it wrong.

ps: It made the floorfillers last night, which pleased me immensely!!

Just to contradict myself, U2 were in with Edith, were they not?? The ageing U2. So that's OK.

Well there you go. 'The ageing U2' are still relevant to Radio 1, but Madonna might not be. It's not about the age of the artist, but the appeal of the artist to Radio 1's target audience. Ageism doesn't come into it.

well if that Sugababes crap is what R1's target audience wants to bop about to, no wonder music in this country is shit, oh wait Simon Cowell got there first :rolleyes:

most of the music on R1 is getting crap, what is needed is R3 or R4 buggering off & being replaced by 6 Music FM ef794ce4.gif

Is it?

As ever, your opinions on Radios 3 and 4 show that you are basing your opinions on just your opinions, and not what others may enjoy or benefit from. Both are quality stations.

exactly my point !

what others may enjoy or benefit from

i find it ironic that R1 has to change because of what the people who listen to R3 & R4 think younger people want to listen to on their radio station !

Viv, I think you're too close to Madonna to be able to rationally decide whether Celebration is a good Madonna song or not!

I LOVE Madonna. I'm one of her biggest fans and now that Michael Jackson has passed away there is no-one that comes close to her for me.

I agree though with the playlist's decision. She's a heritage artist who we should all respect but that doesn't mean she should get automatic rights to Radio 1 and it's playlist. If the young audience Radio 1 is supposed to serve don't care for a Madonna project then we shouldn't be putting it on. This is a greatest Hits album afterall, not a new album.

When I DJ'd in Southampton at the Under 18's club I played Madonna's Hung Up. That was the only song that actually made the entire floor stop dancing. I had to cut it short and go on.

Hi Aled,

i also agree that Madonna is a heritage artist & have said as much in reply to this thread however U2 are also a heritage artist/band & im not sure where the line is ?

R1 got complaints a few months ago about all the U2 coverage & then there has been a lot more of U2 this week :doubt:

Hmm. Do the words Viv and 'rational' go hand in hand? *Nati ponders and gives a winking smiley*.

I'm not too keen on this 'heritage artist' title incidentally Aled. Did you create it, or is it a term used by R1? It does sound a tad ageist and rather immature tbh.

Oh Nati, you've lost your sense of humour. You'll be joining fellow heritage forum member Viv in the moody stakes :P

Yet I bet those in Radio 2's target range would have loved it.

Some fair points made by Aled, even if I don't agree with all of them.

The thing that is telling to me is the 'Under 18s' comment- the majority of the target audience is over 18, but it seems the focus for the R1 bosses is definitely not on those at the moment, with the 'older' listeners (18-24) seemingly a little sidelined.

I said listeners, not presenters! We all know Evan Davis works in Yalding House after the show.

Yeah, PR4L is all part of the Radio 4 conspiracy. EF4L is uncovering it now. He's jealous she's even nicking his abbreviations.

      It's made it into the Daily Mail as another reason to bash the station. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13417631/bbc-radio-2-facebook-tiktok-instagram.html

      I expect that the axing of Chill Out Anthems may be related to the decommissioning and shutfdown of Radio 1 Relax. I assume soon BBC could announce or make official when it’s going to be shutdown

      Next Radio 1 boss

      By R1 Insider · Posted

      The next RAJAR will be putting a lot of pressure on Aled. Will his decisions over Danny Beard and Jamie Laing and to lose Jordan North pay off? If not, it is likely bosses will be looking for his successor.  I am interested to know what fans of the station think?  Ian Chaloner who worked for Greg, Scott and Grimny before rising through the ranks must stand a chance. He is now mainstream editor.  An outsider choice but Greg's former producer Chris Sawyer would be great. He has the creativity and has held the ship well on breakfast. Although I know he is no longer with them.

      Could this be similar to what Arielle Free did in Covid on Weekend Early Breakfast?

      Radio 1 Schedule Changes

      By TMD_24 · Posted

      Greg is doing Breakfast from 7am-11am on 23rd May which is a thirty minute extension of his usual Friday show and consistent with Big Weekend timings. Also it looks like from the 1st June, Radio 1 Chillout Anthems at 4am is being replaced by Radio 1 Anthems with Maia Beth and will also air at the same time on a Sunday.

      I mean I've been growing our engagement on Facebook in my department, there's still an untapped audience there. Also, as you alude to, the number of community groups has grown a lot since lockdown. I'd love to hear more about their thinking. If this had been Radio 1's strategy I don't think anyone would have disagreed.

      I think they must’ve been slowly killing of their social media presence I know for Radio 2 and 6 they do have dedicated unofficial social media groups so there is an audience. All Request Friday and features like that has a place on social media as can get requests via comment sections but I think Facebook struggles to know what it is these days.

      I just think it's more about what they're doing. If all you've got is a DJ dancing to Beyonce's latest hit for thirty seconds or Sara Cox reading out the All Request Friday number in a funny way it's not really what Facebook prioritises. I think it's great that studio interaction, but it does lend itself to Instagram and TikTok more. But I honestly believe there is a place for Facebook with the Radio 2 audience. The trouble is Radio 2 have barely used Facebook for the last year so there doesn't seem to have been a strategy there.

      Agree, all I'd see on x was medical professionals from other health trusts having a very carefully worded pop at each other, mixed in with a clip of jeremy vine with a camera on his helmet, a very strange place indeed! I imagine they have some data to back it up, but is the r2 audience really using tiktok?

      I get not putting resources into X which these days is a strange mix of angry political debate and adult content only. But you'd think Facebook was still the most popular social channel amongst Radio 2 audiences.

      Radio 2 seem to have decided that their strategy is just short video, so it does probably make sense with Instagram and TikTok. But I find it hard to believe there's not longer form content that wouldn't suit Facebook better.

      These late announcements are so lacklustre. It's not quite like the time they announced Harry Styles last minute!

      Think it may have been better to include Radio 1 in this and 1 xtra ultimately focus on boosting a BBC Sounds social media to bring the multi-generational content marketed to a broader audience through one singular channel and having a separate social brand skewed to younger audiences maybe they should consider just having a @BBC @BBCSounds  @BBCSport @BBCNews @BBCFresh (youth brand) social media acounts national.
