Whether or not my fave will be played on the radio is irrelevant. Madonna is selling sex and degradation of morals on her album. How can you agree that young people should be exposed to songs like "Holy Water" and "Illuminati."

I will personally expose as many children as I can to "Holy Water" now, in honour of your awe-inspiring comment.

This is disgusting. I don't understand how they pick and choose - they still play Rihanna who is 26, yet they dropped La Roux due to Elly being 'old' (she's younger than Rih ).

Plus their DJs and presenters are in their 30s or older so by their logic, their asses should be booted.

Yeah, as if your fav will be played at all in 5-10 years on Radio1. They didn't even support her last album (only a few scattered spins) and she is still in her 20s.

True tea. Clock ha!

YOU STAN FOR GAGA! I love her but Gaga made a song with someone who pissed on a 14 year old and made a video with him that showcased her being raped in her sleep. You are not in any position to judge Madonna.

Stupid reasoning on their part.

The song is bad enough to not play without having to give an excuse, so what is the point?

Stale clock, worry about your own fave. His fave at least still has a chance to be played on the radio for at least the next decade if she releases radio friendly songs, unlike your fave who it seems will have no chance whether it's radio friendly or not.

lol her singles were still going Top 10 like clockwork as recently as 2009. She's the Queen of Pop. There is no excuse to flat out not play her single at ALL. Like, it doesn't even leave room for their listeners' reception to determine if they play the track when their listeners aren't being exposed to it via them at all. Blatant discrimination and shameful (not to mention illegal) that a tax-funded institution is doing it. Part of me wishes all these people (mostly men) get fired for the same reason, as they are all in their late 30s to 50s, but that would just be continuing the cycle that devalues older people.

I suppose it's still better than not being played because you became irrelevant and the world recognized you as a hack in your 20s.

Yeah it's not illegal.

Well, our fav has been on the airwaves since 1983 so you really can't compare darling. Last time I checked his fav wasn't even born then.

it's sad to see people shout 'ageism' and other fad causes just because professional programmers do not believe in a song does not mean it has anything to do with whatever ambulance the lefties are chasing this week. the fact is that no teenagers care about supporting someone their grandmothers age with her **** out.

and what about the other artists they boycotted? Like Robbie Williams, which song Candy got boycotted but still reached the #1 in the UK...I bet loads of the people who bought it were actually part of the demographic and part of their listeners that Radio 1 say don't want to listen to Robbie.

and there are probably various other examples.

You clearly just try to justify their reaosning because you don't like Madonna.

Most people my age listen to Capital anyway and they play Living for Love all the time. R1 just lose even more of whatever tiny audience they have by doing stuff like this

if they were losing audience doing this, they would not have stuck with it for so long. lets keep it real here R1 helped alot of huge uk artist make a break through, especially the impact Zane Lowe has had on many artists careers.

This has nothing to do with age, as has been mentioned numerous times from JLo and Eminem fans and Radio 1 themselves. If there was demand for the song they'd play it regardless.

It's about relevancy and Living for Love does not have it. If people requested it (like they do with Eminem and Jlo songs) they'd play it. Simple as that.

And I've been listening to Madonna so much recently. The irony.

I'm not surprised though, it's happened to dozens of acts.

[Popboi.]

She has been banned since before GMAYL so it's not news tbh.

Wanna make a wild guess about who will be banned before her next era starts due to her age?
