Anyone else feel like Jorja Smith's recent output is boring?

A-listed on Radio 1

Melatonin

Yeah the 15-29 target audience thing is very strange. Especially when, currently, only 2 daytime presenters fit into that age range. They are Sam and Danni. From September, 5 presenters will fit into that age range. They will be Jerry, GK Barry, Charley, Sam and Danni.

Yeah it is very hard! I just take the assumption that anything that gets very heavy daytime radio play is a single.

I don't understand the decision to move 'Sun Has Set' and 'Be Her' up to the A List when the former has spent six weeks on the playlist already and the latter has spent seven weeks on the playlist already! Nice to see 'Ain't In LA', 'What A Life', 'One song away from crying' and 'brand new chanel$' moving up to the B List. It's a shame to see 'Dependent' and 'DON'T BELIEVE IT' stalling on the C List though. Good to see the adds for 'RESCUER', 'bloodstream', 'Dance Dance Dance!', 'Ravers' and 'Coming Home'. I'm very confused about Absolutely's 'I Just Don't Know You Yet' being added now, it was released in June 2025! It is a stunning record though and I was lucky enough to see her perform it live last year. Also it's not a first time add for her as she was added last week with John Summit on 'DON'T BELIEVE IT'. It's also a five way tie between Ella Langley, FLO, Gracie Abrams, Phoebe Bridgers and sombr for longest runner!

Talk To You feels most suitable

As is the album!

I'm in love and Radio 1 spamming it makes me so happy

I hope Will Manning is alright, he was off very last minute yesterday with Joe Hollywood covering and Joe's back today. Would've preferred Lydia to cover, who is long overdue a weekday slot.

I love it

Better than 'what do i have to do?' atm. can't wait

Yes that's what I thought

Hi all, I'm wondering if anyone on here produces music. It's always been a thing I'd love to get into and potentially make a career out of. Any tips on how to learn to produce and learning resources (e.g. YouTube videos) would be much appreciated!

I think this might be my favourite Slayyyter song to date the vocals are just brilliant

Radio 1 are inviting independent producers to produce Early Breakfast and Weekend Breakfast from January 2027 in Salford.

On Radio 1 before Heart

I think it's additionally

I think there might be a small chance tbh

Tell me about it - I think it might be one of his worst songs ever.

There appears to be no Tune of the Weekend this week. Have they ditched it?

Not just cover he was a permanent presenter

I enjoy him as well, I can't help but feel he's not appreciated as much as he should be. He came through the Christmas presenter scheme in 2022 and did various cover work, only got a permanent slot in 2025 (Weekend Early Breakfast Saturdays 6-7AM) and now has got Life Hacks with Shanequa, Sundays 7-9PM. I do enjoy hearing him cover with Swarzy and ideally would've liked to see them take over the Group Chat slot (make it a normal daytime show) with Nat and Vicky moving to weekdays.

My Darlin - what a collab

Who are everyone's favourite cover presenters? Presenters who don't yet have a permanent show you'd like to hear more of. For me, I rate Joel Mitchell highly but I can't see him getting a permanent slot at Radio 1 ever. If Mylo and Rosie and Emil Franchi weren't so (deservedly) high in the rankings, I think he might've got Early or Weekend Breakfast in this schedule change. He'll more likely go to 5 Live now as he's started to pick up cover there. I enjoy Alex Mansuroglu but he hasn't been heard since covering the chart in August 2025 and before then it was the weekend afternoon rotation in November 2024. Lauren Redfern and Minah Shannon are always a good listen as well, Minah should've replaced Nat instead of Charley in my opinion. Lauren and Minah are still so early in their Radio 1 journeys that a permanent slot in the future is likely.
