I’m baffled now lol

I think they often play it on September 16th now which is 100 days until Christmas. I think they have the last few years anyway

The Live Lounge Month lineup is as follows:

Conan Gray

Demi Lovato

Florence + The Machine

Lewis Capaldi

Louis Tomlinson

mgk

Mumford and Sons

Myles Smith

Olivia Dean

PinkPantheress

Reading the press release it looks like Robbie Williams is part of the launch of R1 Anthems on DAB+

BBC Radio 1 live lounge month brings global stars this Oc...

Radio 1’s Live Lounge Month returns on 29 September with performances from some of the world’s biggest artists.

Ah nice, Radio 1 Anthems Live Lounge is a cool addition - I wonder who else will feature on that over the coming months?

They had Sugababes in the run up to Big Weekend. I wouldn’t be surprised at all to see Jessie J and JLS there soon.

Clocked that Party Anthems has been binned in favour of a rebranded show entitled Radio 1 Dance Party Playlist. The show is the same but looks to have been changed to fit in with the DAB+ launch of Radio 1 Dance (and it makes sense for it not to be an Anthems show when it mixes contemporary and classic tracks). In additon to the Friday 3pm show, a show is also going out Saturday and Sunday morning with Jess Iszatt fronting it. It would appear Chillout Anthems in its second incarnation has been canned. I guess we'll get more details in the coming weeks of the Radio 1 Anthems and Radio 1 Dance DAB+ launches and what that means for the schedules of those stations.

I hope Radio 1 Dance gets a live schedule rather than pre recorded shows and they start posting the playlist. Also noticed that it’s not broadcast on Radio 1 Dance.

I'd imagine they'll continue with the pre-records if the Dance Party Playlist is anything to go by. They can get in 5-6 weeks of recorded shows, pop them out in the early hours of Radio 1 and then proceed to rinse and repeat them on Radio 1 Dance over and over again like they do with other shows. That's likely to be why it's not going out on there just yet. I agree though that with the DAB+ launch comes an opportunity to introduce more live shows and I hope it does come to fruition on both stations to make them stand out from the crowd.

Noticed that Thursday’s New Music Show is titled ‘A very special Hottest Record…’ and the summary says ‘One of the world’s biggest bands returns with Radio 1’s Hottest Record’. I wonder who it is…

Sorry accidentally posted it twice!

Listening back to Jack Saunders’ show from last Thursday and he announced it already… Gorillaz.

Guessing that was a mistake?
