I don't think it's Radio 1's fault at all that the charts aren't budging but hearing the same stuff EVERY Sunday and then again on Friday too is just... mehI've said this before so apologies for repetition but I think they could perhaps spice it up by changing which component chart they focus on, and playing more than just the regular Radio 1 faves in the Homegrown Album Chart. It doesn't help the actual top 40 itself feeling stale, but the side charts feeling even more obvious than the actual chart, without even looking at them in advance, isn't really helping!

September 27Sep 27 This is why the 3 hour chart doesn't work today. 2 hours is fine if they pick the right songs each week. Wouldn't mind an albums section if they actually bothered to play songs from newer albums

September 27Sep 27 It seems like I was back to the mid-00s and then to the early '10s, but I'm not complaining, lol! 😅

September 27Sep 27 ew...(also this one is considered ineligible for the Rock chart too even though it's clearly Alt-Rock) Edited September 27Sep 27 by maggotsforbrains
September 27Sep 27 On the bright side tik tok has only revived a couple of these questionable tracks this year 😅 Edited September 27Sep 27 by 777666jason
September 27Sep 27 Now unfortunately it's the very same songs in the dance chart for the 3rd week in a row just in a different order.

September 27Sep 27 One good thing about Robyn being here is it'll help close the gap in sales between it and the evil Calum Scott version.
