I second that

Doubt she cares.

It's sad, but I'm sure if Madonna had another Hung Up sized banger they'd happily play her. How old is Pharrell? Happy was probably massive on Radio 1

[LordMombi]

****ing stupid also tbh, I gaurantee no one they play right now is half as interesting.

[Travis Bickle]

This so old news

why should a radio station stay playing the same artists forever? Especially if the audience is over them? They are doing the right thing, BBC Radio 1 are intent on basing their playlist on the FUTURE of the music industry, not the past. Nostalgia is for ****s.

What do you mean nostalgia? The song is a month old

Poor 'future' of the music industry then

[Bang Up]

This is an unfortunate blow to madonna's next era but I get it. Radio is a business and businesses cannot support or push things that don't return a profit. Fact is, madonna simply is not relevant to this generation of teens and so playing her is just illogical for a radio station aimed at young people. I wouldn't consider this ageist simply because if she was relevant to this generation then they would play her no matter her age. Maybe it's time for a reinvention?

Exactly. If the artist is able to connect with the radio station's core audience, they would play them. I suppose madonna has been unable to connect to their core audience this time around. This has less to do with her age and more to do with her not being relevant.

why would a radio station aiming at teens play Madonna music though? As has been said it's about RELEVANCE, not age. Pharrell gets played. These stations play what's hot and are based at a demographic which is based between age and relevance. If an act does not fit the format it is up to the act to change, not the rest of the world.

[tell_me_a_lie]

Well, at least it is still played on radio 2

[Scandal & Media]

A bit extreme.

[jason_z89]

So, make sure your favs do as well as they can because once they hit 35 years old the decline will be REAL!

[Notorious K.E.N]

WTF this is straight up messed up

[ezra]

Welp.

That's how it goes.

are you a teen? If so, she seems to be very relevant to you, always showing up in her threads.

[LadyGagaStan93]

Mess, this is disgusting. If the music is good, play it!

[Samuel]

Not surprising, they banned Kylie & Robbie Williams as well. It's not right.

[jason_z89]

Poor Kylie. The UK is her core market.

And talking about her non-stop, everyday.

Madonna is more relevant than many 20 year old popstars, this is sad but sadly is all age-related, which doesn't make it less wrong and less of travesty. **** like this needs to change.

let's change it then. Like she says, we have the power. If we / you don't use it, what are we good for?

Don't tell anyone, but I don't actually pay any taxes for the BBC. Television licence? Never have I paid it.

I'm not paying £145 for no advertisements and to watch two hours of EastEnders every week. Bye bitch.
