nice to see they're continuing the tradition of skipping the actually unique plays in favour of tracks they play all the time instead

Yeah this segment is becoming pretty pointless too, more rotation of the same few artists.

As great as it is to hear Aperture, I don't really get the point of focusing on this chart if they're only gonna play the most Radio 1 friendly artists each time.

Ughh, we're really seeing the First Look show become the JK and Joel era of the Sunday chart show!

Yeah what is the point of doing this if it's just gonna be Harry, Olivia D and Sienna getting played every week

Official Homegrown Albums Chart

7 Green Lung - Necropolitan

6 Bonobo - Distance in Static

5 RØRY - BLOODLETTING

4 Olivia Dean - Nice to Each Other (from The Art of Loving)

How good it would've been to hear something from Bonobo!

you were saying......

Could of played the proclaimers as they are unlikely to play it again anyway

"new entries galore" proceeds to only play the old albums by Radio 1 stalwarts

Whatever happened to "new music first" eh Radio 1?

In a way they should be playing the official Top 10 Albums, instead of this. That would make more sense. Its a bit confusing for listeners.

Could of literally played anything from the other 3 😅

I’m guessing the homegrown albums chart is UK artists only

Yes it's utter tripe but it would make a change from hearing Olivia Dean for the milionth time!

This is great from Ezra Collective - the type of track they should be playing on the Homegrown Album Chart section of the show.

20 Tame Impala - Loser
