February 4, 201510 yr Just say the next part of the countdown and love the fart in the lift moment and the James Bay comment I remember that fondly :lol: Also when is Jameela's episode in the Comic Relief Bake Off being aired?
February 4, 201510 yr Oops I did forget this :ph34r: Let's continue... 25. James Bay James Bay won the BRITs Critics' Choice award for 2015, and this was being discussed by Jameela and Matt Edmonson on the Official Chart Update the week Hold Back the River entered the chart. This conversation happened: Matt Edmonson: he has another song, called Let It Go, don't worry Jam, it's not that one Jameela: I panicked. :lol: --------------------------------- 24. Wench In Jameela's last show, new host Clara Amfo claimed that Jameela could sing! To which Jameela replied "You’re a liar and a wench! Speaking of wenches, here’s Taylor Swift!" and played Blank Space :lol: --------------------------------- 23. Sing As well as it being Ed Sheeran's first EVER #1 :jameela: Sing became a huge long runner for Ed, partly thanks to streaming. Jameela picked up on this and described it a couple of times as hanging around like a "fart in a lift" :lol: --------------------------------- 22. Jealous mr_aly favourite, Jealous by Labrinth, proved to be a good source of Jameelaisms, and I've clumped them all together for this countdown. Firstly, Jameela recommended that people hug their sofas while the song is on :lol: During another week, she mentioned that it's a very emotional song and if you're going through a break-up, you should "go for a wee, on me". Realising what she just said, she quickly said "NO, NOT ON ME, that came out wrong!". Oh Jameela :wub: Also, let's not forget her own rendition of the track - "I'm jealous of Lorraine", where she thinks of Lorraine Kelly. Awww. --------------------------------- 21. IDINA AGAIN Yes, Jameela doesn't like Idina Menzel, I know you all get that by now :heehee: It brought many Jameela moments though, including this rather fabulous quote: "well done Idina, you have broken some kind of record out there, for the most amount of weeks in my official chart, although it's not even mine, it's yours!". They missed a trick not renaming it to "Jameela's Official Chart feat. Idina Menzel" tbh. Brillant moments.
February 26, 201510 yr Author I haven't actually! I've been quite distracted recently though so it hasn't been a priority. Resuming soon ~
February 26, 201510 yr Author 20. Night Changes In her last week, Jameela played One Direction's Night Changes in the top 20, making the following comment on it: "reminds me of when I used to wet the bed as a child". Thanks for the anecdote :lol: --------------------------------- 19. CHART SAVIOUR John Legend Our lord and master, the chart saviour himself, John the Legend, has been DOMINATING the charts for the last year with his monster hit All of Me. Jameela noticed this huge longevity, commenting one week that it had been in the chart for 47 weeks, before adding "I feel like I haven't even been ALIVE for 47 weeks"! --------------------------------- 18. Thinking Out Loud Another case of a song with huge longevity, Jameela said of Ed Sheeran's Thinking Out Loud: "I don’t remember a time before this was in the chart" :lol: --------------------------------- 17. Jameela's favourite catchphrase We all know Jameela loves a good ACTUAL, and one fantastic use of it was when she mentioned that we were listening to the "ACTUAL official chart"! Why was it not renamed to this officially??? --------------------------------- 16. Hozier Jameela interviewed Hozier in her final week, speaking to him about the success of his huge hit Take Me To Church. She asked him about his Grammy nomination and if he had any plans for a speech, before stating "you can’t just get up there and FART!" - wise words there tbh. I can confirm that Hozier did NOT get up and fart. Not that he actually won the award. So who knows really.
March 2, 201510 yr Author New section coming tomorrow, but here's an article Jameela wrote when she found out she got the job as chart presenter! I vividly remember the moment I found out - I thought they'd called me into Radio 1 to fire me and I was sitting on the floor outside the office with a box of chips, preparing with comfort food, ever the pessimist, mentally preparing myself for rejection and entirely unaware of what was coming my way. Instead, when I was called in, it quickly became clear I didn't need the chips anymore - instead Radio 1 had chosen me to be the first ever solo female host of the Official Chart in their sixty year history. I was stunned - thrilled and honoured. Radio 1 has always championed women, take Annie Nightingale for example. One of my heroes. The woman who puts a perfectly composed middle finger up at the rules. Forty years ago Radio 1 made her the first ever female DJ in Britain, and she's still there. It's truly exciting to be a part of the path that is being paved for women to rise in media. It's not terribly well documented how challenging it has been over the years for us to reach the same heights as men, and it's reassuring as hell to know you're in a workplace that supports that. I essentially grew up listening to Radio 1, the chart show in particular. It was a routine, as for many young people. Every Sunday I waited patiently to be told who was on top. People are so passionate about their favourite artists making it to number 1, it almost reminds me of football fanaticism, nowadays it's One Direction vs The Wanted, back in my day, it was Oasis vs Blur. It's the show of the people. It's the way artists know that we support them, that we make the effort to show our dedication by buying their single. I have been in the studio when Reggie has told young artists and bands that they have reached that top spot, and have witnessed the actual moment a person's blood sweat and tears pays off. It's quite something to know I am now going to be a part of that. I won't lie, the fact that I may also, at some point be able to Skype/meet/touch Beyonce to tell her she's number one is just about all the motivation anyone needs. I just can't wait to get started. Jameela Jamil presents The Official Chart on BBC Radio 1, Sundays, 4-7pm from Sunday 13 January 2013. Watch at bbc.co.uk/radio1 between 6-7pm The catchphrases were there right from the get go :lol:
March 7, 201510 yr Author (let's pretend this is the Tuesday just gone) 15. David Guetta David Guetta is 47 years old, not old by any means but older than many chart artists these days, especially artists that Radio 1 support. Jameela decided to troll David in her last week, saying "David Guetta's like 75 years old, it's AMAZING that he's still in the chart!" just before she played Dangerous! Afterwards, she then mentioned that people moaned about her comment, so she added "I know that’s wrong...he’s actually 80" :lol: --------------------------------- 14. Ghost Now we all know that "first EVER #1" has become an iconic Jameela catchphrase, and it ended up being more fun when you could predict who she'd say it about. One week, she mentioned that Ghost was Ella Henderson's "first EVER #1" - all the more fun when you see it coming :lol: --------------------------------- 13. Steal My Girl Jameela's never-changing fact sheet meant that every week, before she played One Direction's Steal My Girl, that 1D were the second artist to get "one BILLION streams on Spotify", after Coldplay :lol: --------------------------------- 12. "former #1" Stating that a track was a "former #1" on its own doesn't sound particularly amusing, as it's just a simple fact. Jameela liked to mention this for EVERY song that was a "former #1", every single week :lol: It was about the only fact she had for Calvin Harris' Blame most weeks LOL --------------------------------- 11. "former track of the day" In a similar vein to #12, this was a fact Jameela repeated for many songs, although mostly new entries. The funny thing is, most songs that enter the chart were former tracks of the day :drama: :lol:
March 7, 201510 yr Author Here is your 20 through to 11 :jameela: 11. “former track of the day” 12. “former #1” 13. “one BILLION streams on Spotify!” – One Direction 14. “first EVER #1 single” – Ghost 15. "David Guetta's like 75 years old, it's AMAZING that he's still in the chart!" // “I know that’s wrong, he’s actually 80” 16. “You can’t just get up there and FART!” – Hozier Grammy acceptance speech 17. “ACTUAL official chart!” 18. “I don’t remember a time before this was in the chart” – Thinking Out Loud 19. “I feel like I haven't even been ALIVE for 47 weeks” – All of Me 20. "reminds me of when I used to wet the bed as a child" – Night Changes
March 8, 201510 yr It was about the only fact she had for Calvin Harris' Blame most weeks LOL Maybe, but on Christmas week she said it was "the least Christmassy song ever". It's actually quite Christmassy. It reminds me of when you're expecting a great present for Christmas, and you're waiting impatiently to get it, and on the day you find out your present is crap. That's exactly how I felt when I heard it.
June 17, 201510 yr After 22 weeks, this thread is still here! http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l219/Yoshi538/miniminijameela.jpg
June 17, 201510 yr In honour of Jameela's favourite song, Let It Go, the countdown just cannot reach the top 10 :cry:
June 17, 201510 yr Author :lol: omg, I'll finish this off over the next couple of days, so sorry guys! Completely slipped my mind :drama:
June 17, 201510 yr Author 10. Ella Henderson We all know Jameela made many mistakes when it came to announcing songs, but for poor Ella Henderson, she announced the wrong song of hers...twice! Glow was announced as #29 one week when it was in fact Ghost - Glow had dropped out. Yours was also announced as #38 a couple of months later, and yet again, it was Ghost :lol: --------------------------------- 9. All About That Bass All About That Bass by Meghan Trainor became the first song to chart in the top 40 entirely on streams last year. Jameela included this in one of her commentaries when introducing the song, although she made a slight slip of the tongue, announcing it as the first song to chart "based purely on screams" :lol:
