18 hours ago18 hr Brilliant to see Berghain on the playlist at last, Radio 1 just need to be a bit braver in their choices more often.Gorillaz is also great news, a surprise return after all this time but I suppose making the best album of the year helps! Edited 13 hours ago13 hr by Jaz13music
17 hours ago17 hr I really hope horsegiirL’s only the best is added soon. She’s playing Big Weekend and the song is so good!

Very happy to see 'Orange County' finally playlisted (not sure why now of all times but I'm not going to complain), it's my favourite song from them since the Song Machine era I think.And 'Berghain' finally playlisted as well, what a pairing ofc Radio 1 have supported ROSALÍA plenty over the last few years but after they strategically bided time to playlist 'La Perla' instead when the album came out I assumed they just thought 'Berghain' was a bit too out there for the daytime playlist so hooray that they're finally giving it a chance now. I have heard Greg playing it a couple of times on the breakfast show anyway!I thought of your post when I saw Berghain on there yday morning!
14 hours ago14 hr Berghain was never playlisted?! She seems like Radio 1 catnip but I guess they are kinda xenophobic a lot of the time so maybe not xWho’d have ever thought when it came out in June that Midnight Sun, a song by fading out Zara Larsson, would be the longest runner on Radio 1? Iconic behaviour.

12 hours ago12 hr They initially playlisted 'tracks from LUX' for 2 weeks so I guess 'Berghain' probably got some daytime plays then but yes, that was swapped out for 'La Perla' instead at the time.
12 hours ago12 hr Maybe they've been lurking on our threads and realised how ridiculous it is to ignore a perfectly suitable band who they always play after tea just for being a bit old, even though they're cartoons anyway!Wish it was Damascus though, whistling in songs is rarely good. Looking forward to hearing Berghain on daytime radio! Edited 12 hours ago12 hr by HiyaLuv!

They say age doesn't come into it but it blatantly does. Suppose it's a balancing act with supporting new artists admittedly. Gorillaz still feel really big though! Still don't understand why Linkin Park got snubbed in 2024, that was one of the biggest rock songs for years!Momentary Bliss, Ascension, Cracker Island, Tranz, New Gold etc would have been absolutely fine on daytime. Of course an act with so many recent Hottest Records should be on the playlist! Edited 7 hours ago7 hr by HiyaLuv!

1 hour ago1 hr I know it's the other side but can I celebrate the fact I interviewed OJ Borg? Feel free to move it to a more suitable place although I do talk about the fact the R1 - R2 gap has kind of closed. Edited 1 hour ago1 hr by HiyaLuv!
