July 14, 20179 yr I wish we were getting Reminder as the new UK single by The Weeknd too :( Rockin' is just not clicking with me whereas Reminder is very 'cool' sounding imo. A shame only the Daft Punk collaborations have taken off though because the album is jam-packed full of potential singles!!
July 14, 20179 yr 'Rockin' is so good. It reminds me of Disclosure circa 2013. :wub: Too true, it's everything that the real Disclosure x The Weeknd track should have been instead of Nocturnal (plain and boring, although the V.I.P edit was decent)
July 14, 20179 yr Loads of great adds this week! Jay Z, Dizzee, Duke Dumont and The Weeknd are all great.
July 14, 20179 yr Really happy to see Kesha added! If my memory is correct, she didn't get much support last era did she? I seem to remember they didn't add 'Die Young' until it looked like it was going to become a hit, and I don't think they supported 'C'Mon' or 'Crazy Kids' did they? Either way, over the moon!
July 15, 20179 yr Can't believe they snubbed top 10 hit Pretty Girl! I dunno, it's very wishy washy teen bop. Radio 1 are confusing, they try to be mature and credible mixed with trying to appeal to the youngsters. You never know what they're gonna do! I mean who from their actual target audience is gonna be into Jay-Z "4:44" for instance?
July 16, 20178 yr I dunno, it's very wishy washy teen bop. Radio 1 are confusing, they try to be mature and credible mixed with trying to appeal to the youngsters. You never know what they're gonna do! I mean who from their actual target audience is gonna be into Jay-Z "4:44" for instance? They play indie music even if it doesn't set the charts alight and try to break new acts which is a good thing imo. As for Jay-z I would say he's perfect for radio 1 imo!

July 17, 20178 yr He's like the Foo Fighters/Beyoncé/Coldplay though in that he's musical royalty so can command continued support! A bit like Paul McCartney in the early 80s!
July 19, 20178 yr Probably the last time his albums singles were chart hits - prob around the New York era!
July 19, 20178 yr He had a top 10 hit off his last album though (which was in 2013). From the songs I've heard off '4:44' he doesn't really seem to be going for hit singles this time, more trying to sell the album (and this is probably for the better, this album has much more critical acclaim than his last one). But still, he's hardly irrelevant...
