Quite an uninspired list this week considering 3 of those tracks were featured last week as well :lol:

I know why on earth are the supporting the same records again with different djs!

Looks like the Future Festival is no more. Instead we have something called Sound of 2018 live instead on the 30th January. Sigrid, Rex Orange County, Pale Waves, Not3s, Xyng Bane and 2015's winners, Years & Years are the performers.

Changes ahead to the weekend schedule from the end of next month!

 

There’s a bunch of new regular and guests presenters lined-up for BBC Radio 1 starting at the end of February.

 

New signings Maya Jama and Jordan North are joining the station to host weekly shows, and celebrities including Scarlett Moffatt and Mollie King becoming Radio 1 DJs to present alongside Matt Edmondson.

 

 

Maya Jama will join Radio 1 to host Radio 1’s Greatest Hits on Saturdays (10am-1pm), and will also co-host with Scott Mills and Chris Stark Fridays, 1-4pm. Hailing from Bristol, 23 year-old Maya landed her first TV job in 2014, presenting MTVbase show ‘TheWrapUp’. She has since hosted a string of other music TV shows across MTV, 4Music, Channel 4, ITV and Sky Arts. She has presented a radio show on Rinse FM, and recently hosted the red carpet for The BRITs 2018 Nominations Show.

 

Maya says: “I’m so happy to be presenting alongside Scott Mills on Fridays. I’m sure I can learn a thing or two from him and beyond excited to have my own show on Radio 1 every Saturday, I cannot wait to start!”

 

Jordan North will host Radio 1’s Greatest Hits on Sundays (10am-1pm). Jordan began his radio career presenting on student and community stations like Preston FM and Spark FM and has also hosted shows on the likes of Rock FM, The Hits and Capital Manchester.

 

Jordan says: “What a great start to my 2018 – I’m absolutely made up! It’s no secret that this has been a childhood ambition of mine, so to get my own show on Radio 1 and officially be part of the family is just amazing. To be honest, it’s not properly sunk in, but I can’t wait to be back on air and start presenting Radio 1’s Greatest Hits.”

 

Matt Edmondson will become the new host of the weekend 1-4pm show, and on Saturdays he will be joined by a monthly celebrity co-host with the likes of Scarlett Moffatt and Mollie King.

 

Matt Edmondson says: “I am ridiculously excited about inviting some big name co-presenters to join me on Radio 1 every Saturday. I can’t wait to work with Mollie and Scarlett, not to mention the ‘reveal-them-and-you’ll-be-immediately-fired’ list of amazing names we have lined up for the rest of 2018.”

 

Scarlett Moffatt says: “I’ve always loved listening to Matt on Radio 1 so to present alongside him is going to be so much fun.”

 

Mollie King says: “I’m so excited to be co-hosting BBC Radio 1’s brand new Saturday show with Matt Edmondson. He always has me in stitches; we’re going to have a blast, bring it on!”

 

Following multiple stints as a presenting duo in 2017, Dev and Alice Levine will officially join forces to co-host Radio 1’s Weekend Breakfast show (weekends, 6-10am). Celebrity MasterChef finalist Dev, and Alice who is about to embark on a world comedy tour, will be waking up listeners from 17th March.

 

Radio 1 Controller Ben Cooper says: “It’s brilliant to welcome the next generation of superstars to Radio 1. Along with Maya, Jordan, Dev and Alice all starting new shows, Matt will co-present with the likes of Scarlett and Mollie, giving an exciting jeopardy to live radio at the weekend.”

 

Radio 1’s new weekend schedule from 24/2/18 is:

 

Saturdays

 

6am-10am – Radio 1’s Weekend Breakfast with Dev and Alice

 

10am-1pm Saturdays – Radio 1’s Greatest Hits with Maya Jama

 

1pm-4pm Saturdays – Matt Edmondson and a celebrity co-host

 

4pm-7pm Saturdays – Radio 1’s Dance Anthems with MistaJam

 

Sundays

 

6am-10am – Radio 1’s Weekend Breakfast with Dev and Alice

 

10am-1pm – Radio 1’s Greatest Hits with Jordan North

 

1pm-4pm Sundays – Matt Edmondson

 

4pm-7pm Sundays – Radio 1’s Life Hacks with Cel Spellman and Katie Thistleton

Is Jordan North the one with the annoying accent who made a complete HASH of the chart of the year a few weeks ago? Ye gods.

I am thrilled for Jordan North and Maya Jama too presenters I really like :wub:

 

 

Hottest Records:

16/1/18: Rejjie Snow - Egyptian Luvr (feat. Aminé)

17/1/18: The Wombats - Cheetah Tongue

omg at those weekend schedule changes *.*

 

Dev and Alice work really well together! And I'm really glad to see Jordan North get a proper show. Maya will be an interesting addition to Fridays with Scott.

Looks like the Future Festival is no more. Instead we have something called Sound of 2018 live instead on the 30th January. Sigrid, Rex Orange County, Pale Waves, Not3s, Xyng Bane and 2015's winners, Years & Years are the performers.

 

Wonder if they will return with a Hottest Record??

Hope Jama is with Scott as they are getting rid of him!

 

 

Hope Jama is with Scott as they are getting rid of him!

 

Why do you want rid of Scott? He’s one of the best on there!

Sorry I wrote that wrong I meant I hope they aren't planning on replacing him with this new person as he's quite old now in terms of radio 1 presenters.

Apologies for the delay. I totally did not forget! Tune of the Week will follow in the next post.

I enjoyed that Malla Dee track! It would be great for the disco type dance music to comeback!

oh wow great to see Mella Dee getting Nick Grimshaw support! And Jus Now / CLiQ which I love even more. Think out of those only CLiQ has a chance of being a chart hit though.

Mella Dee :o and yesss at Wavey :wub:

They should have saved that Jus Now song for carnival time... what a banger! Great to see 'Wavey' getting support too, love that kind of dance music.

It's been 10 years but now BBC Radio 1 is bringing back comedy to its schedules as originally announced back in September last year with its nightime schedule changes. The comedy shows will launch via on-demand on February 5th but will also air on the station in the 3am-4am slot on a Wednesday for Series 1 (from February 7th), Thursday for Series 2 (from February 22nd) and a Friday for Series 3 (from March 30th).
