    Does this feel really tiresome to anyone else? 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...

I'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!

two* Be Her dropped in like march this year

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

the problem with this is that the other component charts are even bleaker, not helped by the OCC being weird around what they class as certain genres - there is no way Fontaines D.C. or Sam Fender or Arctic Monkeys(!) shouldn't be considered eligible for the Rock chart yet none of them nor any other "alternative" hits from recent years (Sailor Song etc.) were allowed to chart there

On the bright side tik tok has only revived a couple of these questionable tracks this year 😅

ew...

(also this one is considered ineligible for the Rock chart too even though it's clearly Alt-Rock)

The rock chart is horrendously irrelevant anyway.
