this is a mess

[DrownedWorld]

I mean this isn't surprising but I don't think this is too bad. Radio stations need to appeal to their core audience to make money. You can't stay popular forever.

That is a mess. Living for Love deserves some spins.

That's not surprising at all. R1 is obsessed with getting this so crucial 15-29 demographic right that they decide to ban any singer who's deemed age-inappropriate or not hip enough according to their corporate advisor's team.

This is common for Radio 1. The artists who are over 35 are moved to Radio 2, so pop artists don't really stand a chance.

Old news! They said so last year.

They blacklisted Nicole Scherzinger, Robbie Williams and Fergie for the same reason.

How bout Cher at ha time?

The rules were introduced in 2010.

Celebration by Madonna was played a lot on the station in 2009. And Cher in 1999.

Did they ban Believe? Because we may be looking at a future smash.

Edit :nvm, answered above

This is why I hate Radio 1 and if I were to listen to the radio, I would choose Capital FM over them.

You heard LA Love on Radio 1?

[jason_z89]

Well, even if they played Fergie, she is 39. She better get as many plays as she can now because once you hit the big 40 then they ban you for good.

[Slayonce]

So that means only 4 years left for Katy? Is that rule unbreakable?

[FantasyRide]

didn't this happen last era as well?



well she's playlisted on capital.

It says 35-40, so she could have a five-year extension if she continues to serve the bops.

What makes the whole thing outrageous is that BBC is a public broadcaster funded with taxpayer money! They don't have the right to do that WITH YOUR MONEY!

[Save My Life]

The ageism is real.
