This is true.

I know someone who DJs for Radio 1 (not an irrelevant). I have messaged him on FB about this to ask wtf this **** is.

Messy

[unholymischief]

That's a really weird approach/policy to have. If it's a smasher then they should play it :/

I love it when they are FORCED to play songs they refuse to add on Sundays when they present the Official UK Charts.

When Take That and Robbie hit no1 and they had to play their songs they looked SO STUPID!

"This is the country's No1 song", but we are not playing it because they are too old. Ridiculous and laughable!

Not playing top hits makes THEM irrelevant. Not the artists.

What's their argument? We are not playing it because it was older people who bought the song and made it a no1 smash? Lol.

THIS!!!!!!!!!!

I love it too! So embarrassing for them whenever that happens!

The same organisation pays Nick Grimshaw almost half a mill a year to host their embarrassing trainwreck breakfast show. Radio1 lost its touch a few years back.

Madonna will be fine with R2 exposure, all those album buying adults.

You're saying that it makes them irrelevant, but it doesn't, they remain unbothored though.

Disgusting. Why people still even listen to the radio is beyond me.

[Drowned_World]

Wow, that's just pretty stupid.

[MadOnHer]

Disgusting!!

And to the usual trolls in this thread who are claiming this isn't ageism, but more a reflection of her irrelevance to the teen market.... Doesn't it stand to reason that these youngsters might pay more attention to Madonna's music if stations like Radio 1 actually gave her songs a chance in the first place??

They probably don't think that Madonna is hot enough anymore, so they banned her.

and that is where it goes wrong, they only assume. idk if they also have it in the UK, but in The Netherlands some radio stations have some hot or not kind of programms on the radio. Just play the track and let the actual listeners decide what they think fits their playlists, instead of deciding that based on an assumption

[Cas]

Lol. This is ridiculous.

[Dark Miracles]

Awful.

[HOD]

But who even ****ing cares how old the artist is?

This seriously angers me so much, like who is more relevant than ****ing Madonna?

Ed Sheeran?
Birdy?
Emeli Sandé?

BYE, hopefully the ones who choose this will all lose their jobs soon.

+ those who're laughing with this or saying that it isn't ageism, you do realize that all your faves are going down the same road right?
They might get even banned faster than Madonna.

This is bad for pop music and music in general if they're going to start treating artists this way.
