Roland Barthes Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Zane Low is leaving R1 in march and is replaced by Annie Mac, do you think he was pushed to leave due to being 42 ? I don't remember it being like this before. Cher was in her 50's when we were bombarded with Believe. What is wrong with the bbc ? They think teenagers are stupid ? I did not like that shit when i was a teenager 10 years ago. I was looking up to more mature artists and not the pop tool of the moment. There is like a will to make new generations dumb just like they do in fascist states. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
promise to try Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Even Britney?! wow we must be getting old. ok, but when they refuse to play somebody, maybe, in some cases, the quality of a song, it also counts! if they don´t play Britney is because her last album wasn´t very good...

Flip The Switch Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 This is all over the news. Heard it twince on the radio (two of the most important radios in my city) and they were actually praising M. The DJ said they're gonna do their part and show some support to one of the biggest legends ever by playing "Living For Love" every hour . He also said the're against this kind of discrimination and this should be punished. This made my day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 BBC's explanation is so phoney. I can't believe they defended themselves by saying they're playing Paul. Well, the ONLY reason why those two songs are being played is just because he's a featured artist with Rihanna and Kanye. If he was releasing a solo single, there's no way it would get played on BBC 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jazzy Jan Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 at them saying they are playing Paul so nothing to do with age. How stupid do they think people are. They are only playing that song because of Rihanna and Kanye. Way to insult people's intelligence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apples388 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 I mean, really, at this point the damage is done to BBCR1. They may as well just cut their losses short and just PLAYLIST LIVING FOR LOVE already Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braby Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 People are still going crazy on their Facebook page. Radio 1 are gonna have to do something to stop this, too many people are posting Living For Love links on every single photo and status now. I don't see it dying down for a while yet... However, only Digital Spy have commented on it so far... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well they released that statement at 8 this morning, so probably hoped it would die down. It hasn't - in fact, it's worse. I've never seen anything like it. I know other fan bases have organised campaigns and such but this is something else entirely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iasonas Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Only a stupid person could release such a statement. I love how they didn't even mention Rihanna and Kanye while they are the ones doing all the singing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeakMaker Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 This whole story got me so mad! First, I would expect more from a UK state radio station. They are bluntely promoting discrimination against age and I can't believe they think they can get away with it when the actual station is founded by tax payers which I'm sure many of them are over the age of 50! Calling people over 50 irrelevant and old is a dangerous thing to do and if BBC radio 1 doesn't address this situation they might end up being investigated and even fined if there is evidence they are acting on a discrimination basic. It's funny how they are tring to say it's not about age but about merit but truth is if Sir Paul Macarthy did not sing along with Rihanna and Kanye West they would have never ever played his song! And how can they justify teens want to listen to a simple camp fire song that's got not bass or rythm? If anything I'm sure they were even ready to re edit the song so Paul Macarthy wouldn't be heard because they think kids don't want to listen to his 70 yrs old voice according to their policy. But funny thing is they are actually saying Living For Love has no merit as a song for their audience which is absurd as it's a progressive dance tune which is what Radio 1 is known to play. They might have a point by saying Madonna has a 30 yrs old career and she doesn't neet that exposure anymore so that slot can be used to promote other, younger artists and I agree with that but truth is they are not even doing it! All they are playing is Taylor Swift and One Direction! In short they believe they can promote a handful of few artists so that the mass can be easily brainwashed into liking them... No wonder they are saying teens are their principal target audience! Basically they think young people are stupid and they can only listen to music just made for them from the big money corporation! All in all it is all a business aimed to make as much money as possible. Truth is Madonna, due to her age, is pretty much banned from most popular radio unfortunately. Hopefully by exposing BBC Radio 1 ageist policy people will reconsider her and ask radio programmers to play more of her music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holly Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 I stopped tuning into radio 1 over 15 years ago, so i don't give a toss if bbc radio 1 boycotts madonna. it's not what it used to be anymore anyway, and they play such crap! it's unbelievable. i used to listen to bbc radio 1 when it used to be good, and that's why i listen to bbc radio 2 now, because it seems their programming is better and they play an eclectic mix of music. they mostly play music by the greats and my ears are not subjected to all the noise and repetitive rubbish by the latest faddy bands from x factor!

Titty Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 I admit I may be too old for R1, but I like a lot of the music they play but don't listen to it as they play too much rubbish (Ed, Xfactor, Ellie, RiRi). R2 I think is dreadful. BBC don't seem to have a radio station that play good quality pop music. I listen to 6 music, but some days I fancy hearing some good pop music which you just can't find on radio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VogueMusic Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 There were some saying theyre gonna burn down the BBC studios, they never got blocked or their comments removed. I got blocked for asking for my money back. I think BBC will keep those stupid comments up there so that they can use them against Madonna and her fans. oh my god. I can only imagine with these kinds of fans ... (literally pounding on the door outside the studio) "hey, you guys better play 'Living For Love' or I'm gonna burn this motha fucka down!!!" :dead: Little monsters ain't got nothing on that shit.
