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.

    • There was talk on my Big Weekend group from the council about them waiting for Ticketmaster to send an email out. They said they've been waiting a week. Maybe they're waiting for train strike confirmation first. 
    • It’s on Saturday and Friday that week too. I guess this would make sense, as it gives them roughly 6 weeks off weekends until they start the new show?
    • Yeah he's on more than usual including this Sunday and then 3 more shows in May according to the above. Makes me think it's James for the weekend shows also
    • For some reason there is 'Summer on Radio 1' listed on Sunday 2nd June, could this be replacing M&M until July?
    • They seem to be using James more for cover now makes me think it will be him getting weekends eitjer breakfast or 1 till 4 
    • Yep am very much Capital Breakfast now. Jordan, Chris and Sian are a great trio and it's got that feel of the old shows Jordan and Chris used to do on Radio 1. It doesn't take itself too seriously but is packed full of content and slick. With Greg he's great but 6 years in you've probably heard it all before plus frankly I can sit through the Capital Playlist a lot more easily than the Radio 1 playlist (where some of the inclusions and omissions can be quite baffling at times). Plus after things like the Oscars or Met Gala or if there's a particularly big TV show or film or popstar then Greg won't half wang on about it at times. I guess it's partly to be expected with it being a Breakfast show on a young station but it can feel very London bubble and get tired.
    • Ore Olukoga is in for Arielle on Tuesday 14th May. James Cusack is in for Danny Beard on Saturday 1st June. James Cusack is in for Nat on Sunday 2nd June.
    • I honestly never thought in a million years I’d move from Radio 1 to be a regular Capital breakfast show listener. But it’s got pretty much everything I want - 3 really genuine, entertaining mates having a laugh, playing silly games and it all sounds great. I became a big fan of Chris from his days with Scott, became a Jordan fan on Going Home, and Sian Welby is newer to me but is loads of fun too.  It’s great and I’ve shocked myself by transferring my listening at breakfast. For me Greg’s show now feels very tired and it’s time for something new. But with Jordan gone that’s unlikely to happen anytime soon. Greg’s had a great run and I’m a fan - but there’s no new ideas now. I still listen to Radio 1 at other times - but this show feels like very serious competition for Greg. 
    • They have built four new studios to increase capacity, alongside the existing six.  Bearing in mind that some of the output of R1, 1X, R2 & 6M comes from elsewhere, and Asian Network is gradually moving all output to Birmingham, this should be enough!
    • How do they manage to cater for 6Music and Radio 2 on that floor? Did they adapt it? 
    • I think we've all figured out now how much you like it @AndyK77 😂 Personally while I think it's by far the best show on the Capital schedule and better than its predecessor, it still has the shortened songs and other commercial-radio aspects that remind me why I'm a Radio 1 fan. No matter how well this has worked out for Jordan, and all credit to him for landing the job, I can't help but feel that a Jordan and Katie show on R1 breakfast would have been so much better!
    • A few weeks in and I am actually loving the show and Jordan is a nice mix of his old chaotic self and dare I say it a slick jock.
    • He must be in his element. At Eurovision and a Gold award!
    • I really like Rylan, and as much of a fun idea it would be to have Scott and Rylan together, I think Rylan is too much of a main character.  Scott needs a side-kick rather than a full on co-host I think. That’s why he and Chris worked so well, Scott steered the show, and Chris was the perfect person to have alongside him.    I don’t religiously listen to Rylan’s show, but when I do catch it, it’s perfect weekend energy. He has a very warm presenting style too, but something makes me think he and Scott together every day would be a bit too much.     
    • So pleased for Scott on his best entertainment show win. As much as I miss his R1 style, he clearly puts so much into his shows, well deserved and it’s a big two fingers up to all the abuse he has had since joining R2
