The place where everyone hangs out, chats, gossips, and argues

Am I the only one who thinks the Radio 1 playlist is how shall I put this, ABSOLUTE PANTS!??!?!

I am constantly hearing god awful songs over and over again.

Lets face it, how many of us are slightly peeved by Ja Rule's 'Always on time'?

this is just my personal opinion which I want to share. However, I would be interested to hear what everyone else has to say about the playlist.

Cheers!

that is true. The playlist on my local radio station has more variety.

It was the same last year. They always played that 'Ms. Jackson' by Outkast. If they had variety, it would be OK, and they always put songs on their A-List that dropped out of the top ten weeks ago.

SORT IT

that's how my radio station is like too. they go mental if you play the same artist two weeks in a row, let alone the same song.

all the good songs never get played to death, and all the crap songs do. I think I should become Radio 1's playlist clerk.

I've not been listening to Radio 1 for a few weeks now, but yes, I agree the playlist is crap, why not just call it R&BFM?

I'm converted to XFM at the moment... The playlist is maybe only slightly larger than R1, but at least it's playing quality music.

They're not limited to current stuff either. On Friday I heard such gems as "Rocket from the Crypt - On a Rope" and "The Las - There she goes", to name only two.

Come on Radio 1 - SORT IT OUT!!

i like that Ja Rule song, but i do agree that there should be more variety. I have complained about the radio1 playlist in the past, but on reflection, they do play somthing for everyone.

I agree, 6music is the best. They still have a playlist so you do hear current songs BUT they also play a lot other music that isn't playlisted.

No point in anyone making any music in this country cos Radio 1 only play music by Americans anyway.

So that's half and half then? I doubt American radio stations give British talent the same amount of airplay.

Or any other radio station in this country's playlist is half American either.

Since when is that half and half, I think you'll find in both examples there are more British artists on the playlist than American

They also like Missy Elliott. Although for the life of me, I cannot understand why.

8 crappy American artists and only 9 British?

More British Talent please!
