At the start of the show they announced Burna Boy as a number 1 contender - so where is he ?
Central Cee getting an actual number one. Such a grim notion.

I'm not sure if this will stay no. 1 on Friday.

He was the Hottest Record.

He was the Hottest Record.

He was also in the list of "contenders"

 

Very good point about Burna Boy, I did raise an eyebrow at him being a contender. Not top 20 makes more sense

I didn't hear Katie mentioning them so thanks for clearing that up.

it literally has more spotify streams in 2 days than anything else got the whole of last week lol

 

Aled Haydn Jones is the controller of radio 1 if anyone wants to message him, he seems to busy with going to Ibiza to look what his station is playing

Well I guess I see now what this forum would have been like if Kylie got skipped on Friday lol x

 

Did they confuse Dave with Burna Boy when playing the contenders...? :')

 

Ergh at 'REACT' being in the top 3 again, hope it'll drop off like it did last week.

God this forum is a mess at times. :lol: Kylie will surely be played on Friday, just like last week.

Why is it a mess? surely radio 1 is a mess for missing out the highest climber because of someone's age, since when in 2023 do we not play a song because of someone's age?

Is Radio 1 ageism not raising eyebrows in the UK?

It’s the same to some extent in some country but chosing not to play it today is pushing it way too far. Isn’t the BBC a public station? I’m surprised this is tolerated in the UK to act like this in 2023.

Pharrell Williams is 50 I wonder if his next song wouldn't get played or now Adele is 35 will her next song be missed out?

If this were Lady Gaga you'd be just as much of a 'mess' right now :teresa: :lol:

Radio 1 is not the only BBC station. The song is A-Listed on Radio 2.

But it's only #3 on the real most important streaming service Deezer so that's all that really matters

Guys, it’s 2023, stop giving Radio 1 so much validation, no one cares what Radio 1 does or doesn’t play, it’s not 2009 anymore. In the grand scheme of things, Radio 1 playing Padam once or twice, would make no difference to where it charts on Friday.

They haven't supported Lady Gaga in years :lol: not since Rain on Me if I recall

 

These artists don't NEED any airplay from R1. R1 is important for emerging artists, not big established superstars.

 

It'd be nice if they playlisted artists like Gaga, Kylie or Madonna, but it's not that important.

Since when? They supported Madonna until 2009. It’s like there was a big shift after 2010 and suddenly any woman over 30 had to go. Britney was 29 when they deemed her too “irrelevant” to playlist!

How stupid can a radio station be :/
