Era Istrefi - Bonbon

 

OH MY ACTUAL GOD!!!!!!

 

This needs to smash hard, so glad it's finally getting a push.

 

Someone check on Tim I think he just died of excitement.

Wow I thought this will be forgotten in the UK, but finally a push :o

Hopefully an English version music video is coming soon, although the original MV has 117 million views so that could definitely help until then.

Izzy Bizu - White Tiger

 

 

Odd.. Must be getting a re-release.

A bit surprised they've gone back to White Tiger already, was there even another single release since they last pushed it? :lol: (unless you count the collab with Honne)

Mad Behaviour was released but I think it was overshadowed by this.

Any news from the usual sources of this weeks playlist additions?

BBC Radio 1's audience has dropped to its lowest level for more than a decade after the station lost a million listeners over the past year.

 

About 9.5 million adults a week tuned in between April and June compared with 10.4 million during the same period in 2015, audience trackers Rajar said.

 

Radio 1 said the figures were "only part of the picture" and that its digital platforms had grown.

 

But the station now has its smallest radio audience since 2003.

 

Breakfast host Nick Grimshaw has 5.4 million listeners per week - down 400,000 year-on-year but unchanged from the first three months of 2016.

 

Radio 1 controller Ben Cooper said: "Rajars are only part of the picture for Radio 1, and our listeners should be seen alongside increases on our YouTube channel as it goes past one billion views and our growing social media platforms with over 8.5 million users.

"To focus solely on Rajars is similar to looking at how many newspapers have been sold without looking at their online presence or national influence."

 

Radio 4's Today programme has 7.4 million listeners

 

Radio 1's target audience is 15-29 year olds, and the station's on-air decline comes as separate research confirms young people are listening to less radio overall.

 

According to an annual survey of media habits published by broadcast regulator Ofcom on Thursday, 16 to 24-year-olds spent 29% of their audio listening time tuning in to live radio in 2015.

 

That is much lower than the average of 71% for all adults.

 

And the average time spent listening to the radio every week by 15-24s has fallen by five hours in the past decade, from 20 hours in 2005 to fewer than 15 hours last year.

It seems the rise of streaming is very much killing listening figures for Radio 1 then, and as such R1 will be having less of an influence on the charts than it did in the past.

I wouldn't talk too soon, people thought the same when TV was invented but as you say many more listen to the iplayer (me for one) and other streaming/digital platforms!

Have to say I haven't listened to the radio for months - Currently have a Apple Music playlist playing and expect lots of others do the same.
