They're going to stop playing Madonna's music because her fanbase is old?

Radio 1 is so ageist.
didn't they refuse to play Robbie Williams too? I think they're doing the same to Kylie as well. Over 40 and they won't play you.

Ridiculous. Why does age matter? It's not as if Madonna (for better or worse) doesn't still make youth-oriented music.

They're doing the same thing to Kylie. The ageism in this industry is very real, and it's sad.

Makes sense tbh, they have to cater to their audience. In the care home i used to work at Radio 1 wasn't even on the channel list so i can see why they would not want to cater to them.

They've always been this way and it's ridiculous.

It's so stupid.
Mariah is going the same route soon even though she has MANY young fans.
