Annie Mac (and all of the dance DJs) played it loads, then it was put the on the playlist for 13 weeks and is still played pretty regularly now.

 

Yeah I heard it this morning. One they'll play for a long time I think

I presume dance songs have a bit of an edge here because they can more easily get nighttime play as well as daytime?

Any genre can get plays in the evening and daytime tbh!

They generally have dance specific/new artist shows in the evening though, you’re not going to get Justin Bieber, Anne-Marie etc played past 6pm.

There are perhaps 4 dance shows (Danny, Sarah, Pete and Charlie) where tracks are likely to crossover and Party Anthems too I guess but that's daytime still. The rest of them (Rene, Annie, Benji B etc) are very genre specific. Any of them contributing to 'most played' counts are going to be minimal unless the presenters play the track every week which some tracks rarely get.

Nice to hear Scott on breakfast today after it was supposed to be Matt. Scott hasn't done breakfast in ages. Katie is covering for him and Scott will be doing the double on Friday with breakfast and chart!

They generally have dance specific/new artist shows in the evening though, you’re not going to get Justin Bieber, Anne-Marie etc played past 6pm.

 

Yes of course but the poster mentioned ‘dance song’ in their post not pop artists like Bieber etc.

Turns out Matt Edmondson and his wife had another baby this week hence his absence from Breakfast and this weekend too. James Cusack is covering for Matt and Mollie.

 

Congrats to them!

Five new presenters will join BBC Radio 1 to take over the Friday Early Breakfast slot (Fridays, 5am – 6.30am) as part of a monthly rotation, beginning in February.

 

Elliot Darby, Matty Chiabi, Seb Bailey, Nat O’Leary and Alice Dale are the next wave of presenters set to host the show which launched in January 2021 as a means to showcase the very best new and emerging presenting talent.

 

All five of the new presenters were all given the opportunity to host on the station when they were selected from over thousands of applicants to take on a guest slot as part of Radio 1’s Christmas Takeover 2021.

 

Glad they're continuing with this and bringing in some of the recent Christmas presenters to have a go.

Radio 1's Life Hacks just doesn't seem to work for me.

In what way? The content in the show, the hosts, the music?

I haven't really listened to it but I did enjoy it as The Surgery in its late night Sunday spot yonks ago

In what way? The content in the show, the hosts, the music?

Just prefer The Surgery they used to show, I'll give it another go.

Next Tuesday at 7pm Radio 1 are doing a special simulcast with BBC Three to celebrate their launch.

 

From the BBC website:-

 

“Greg James and Clara Amfo are throwing a party because BBC Three is on TV! Join them and the stars from Drag Race UK, The Rap Game, plus music from PinkPantheress.”

Schedule changes at BBC Radio 1 including new show for Mollie King

 

https://radiotoday.co.uk/2022/03/schedule-c...8o73uKcuRZGTQiw

 

There are a number of comings, goings and movements at BBC Radio 1 this September as Mollie King gets a brand-new show called Radio 1’s Future Pop.

 

René LaVice and DJ Target are leaving to make way for new programmes presented by two festive takeover guest presenters getting weekly slots.

 

As well as taking on the new show, Mollie will continue to present weekends (1pm-4pm) alongside co-host Matt Edmondson. The station says she will use her expertise to showcase upcoming talent who are set for big things.

 

Mollie says: “It’s hard to put into words just how unbelievably honoured and excited I am to be launching and presenting Radio 1’s Future Pop!

 

“As a lifelong complete pop fanatic I am going to adore every single minute of pushing through new and up and coming pop acts. I’ve been on the other side and know just how much it means to have your music supported on the radio and being given the platform, so I can’t wait to search far and wide to find the best pop talent out there.

 

“The 15-year-old in me, who wrote endlessly to record labels asking to do work experience and make the teas and coffees is crying inside! It’s a real dream come true!”

 

Aled Haydn Jones, Head of Radio 1 says: “New Music is at the heart of Radio 1 so I’m thrilled we are launching Radio 1’s Future Pop which will be dedicated to finding the next big UK and international pop artist. Mollie is the perfect person to take on this new show as someone who has been on the same journey a lot of these musicians are about to embark on.”

 

In other news, Monday nights on Radio 1 will be dedicated to Rock and Alternative showcasing the breadth of talent both genres have to offer, kicking off with the Radio 1 Rock Show with Daniel P Carter which will move to Mondays, 11pm-1am.

 

This will be followed by a brand-new BBC Introducing Rock on Radio 1 (Mondays, 1am-2am) show hosted by Alyx Holcombe who will join the station.

 

It will focus on championing new and emerging Rock artists from across the UK, uncovering the freshest new musical talent.

 

Alyx was given her first opportunity to host on Radio 1 over the 2021 festive period as part of Radio 1’s Christmas Takeover, where 30 new DJs and presenters were given a once in a lifetime opportunity to broadcast on the station.

 

Alyx Holcombe says: “This is everything I have worked so hard for. Underground rock bands now have a space on BBC Radio 1. I can’t believe I’ve done it. This is a win for all of us in the underground rock scene.”

 

Rounding off the night, from 2am Nels Hylton will host a new playlist – Radio 1’s Future Alternative. This will focus on the future of Rock and guitar, shining a spotlight on emerging genres like PopPunk, AltRock, NuMetal, RapRock and more with acts from the UK and the rest of the world.

 

Nels hosted his first show on Radio 1 in 2020 after applying for the station’s festive guest presenter initiative where he presented Radio 1’s Rock Show and has since gone on to cover various different shows across the station.

 

Radio 1 will also welcome Charlie Tee who will become the first permanent female presenter of Radio 1’s flagship Drum & Bass Show which will join the station’s iconic Saturday night schedule moving to 11pm. Charlie was also one of the 30 presenters who took part in Radio 1’s 2021 Christmas Takeover.

 

Charlie Tee says: “Drum & Bass is such an integral part of UK dance culture and I genuinely believe that right now, its sonic direction is the most prolific it’s ever been! This will be an exciting new chapter for the genre, as the show joins the iconic weekend line-up on Radio 1, in a brand new slot. I cannot wait to showcase the incredible next generation of talent in drum and bass and it’s an honour to be the first woman to do so.”

 

In addition to the new shows being announced today, Radio 1’s Indie Show with Jack Saunders will move to Sundays at 9pm and Radio 1’s Soundsystem with Jeremiah Asiamah will move to Saturdays at 7pm.

 

After what will be five years hosting Radio 1’s Drum & Bass Show, René LaVice will be leaving the show to devote more time to his label and other ventures but will remain a key part of the Radio 1 Dance family.

 

The station will also say goodbye to DJ Target who currently occupies 7pm-9pm on Saturday nights with 1Xtra’s Takeover with DJ Target. DJ Target will focus his Saturday show to a 1Xtra audience instead.

 

Aled Haydn Jones, Head of Radio 1, says: “I’d like to welcome Alyx Holcombe and Charlie Tee to Radio 1, they’re both new and exciting presenting talent and I’m extremely excited to see what direction there’ll take their new shows in.

 

“A huge thank you to René for five fantastic years at the station, I’m glad he will remain a key part of the Radio 1 Dance family.

 

“Thank you to DJ Target who has brought some iconic moments to Radio 1, I’ll continue to watch the show flourish on 1Xtra.”

 

All changes will come into effect from September 2022.

Charlie Hedges is pregnant so that'll mean a change of presenter for Dance Anthems albeit possibly on a temporary basis whilst she's off for maternity leave. Ricky and Melvin will most likely continue the mid morning show.

Edited March 8, 20224 yr by gavindeejay

Charlie Tee is another Kiss name making their way to R1 then, that's big for her to get that D&B gig and have it on a Saturday night too!

Yay for Mollie as well that's a great move for her, Best New Pop on a Friday morning was a great start for that type of show to come into fruition

 

I don't think the Indie Show works for a Sunday? I'm not sure anything other than continuing with a new type of chill show would work. Chill into Rock was rather jarring and this is still the same kind of transition. I guess contractually Jack has to have 4 shows and it needs to fit in somewhere.

So as we know already Big Weekend is heading to Coventry for its return in May. The Friday line up will be revealed on Danny Howard's show later this week, but for now the rest of the weekend looks like this (with more to be announced):

 

Saturday

Main Stage

Calvin Harris

Ed Sheeran

Aitch

AJ Tracey

Anne-Marie

Central Cee

Joel Corry

YUNGBLUD

 

Future Sounds Stage

Sam Fender

Easy Life

Fontaines D.C.

KSI

Mimi Webb

Sigrid

Tom Grennan

 

Sunday

Main Stage

George Ezra

Becky Hill

Dermot Kennedy

Jax Jones

Lorde

Mabel

 

Future Sounds Stage

Foals

Griff

Charli XCX

Alfie Templeman

Koffee

Joy Crookes

Holly Humberstone

Wet Leg

A bit of a meh lineup I think! Especially comparing those main stages to 2019:

 

Saturday

 

Mumford & Sons

Anne-Marie

Sigala

Billie Eilish

James Arthur

Jess Glynne

Foals

Miley Cyrus

 

Sunday

 

Little Mix

Zara Larsson

Jax Jones

Catfish and the Bottlemen

Rita Ora

Sean Paul

Ellie Goulding

The 1975

I actually really like that lineup! (Obviously depends which artists you are into), I would love to go if I was able to. Great to see Sam there too although I feel he’s big enough now to have a crack at the main stage, but I guess he is a future sound

Sam’s headlining the second stage, so that probably would be around the equivalent of around third from the top on the main stage maybe?
