Do not make it complex

The campaign probably wasn't about the actual playing of the song on the radio.

Poor decision by the BBC, because People have an on/off button for this very reason.

Marc 12-04-2013 03:33 PM

Don't forget there are other chart countdowns.. I'm sure Heart FM has one

Jack_ 12-04-2013 03:40 PM

Very poor decision on the BBC's part, I've always been a fan of Radio 1 but this is completely the wrong way to go about things. It is not up to them to take a stance on this, it's not up to them to say 'nah sorry we disagree so we aren't playing it', the chart show is supposed to be a rundown of what people have been buying and downloading, and if this makes it into the top 10 especially, there is no reason why they shouldn't be playing it - that is, after all, the point of the show.

Daft decision by the BBC but it is what's expected from the BBC nowadays, bias and bad judgement.

pretty silly decision but I don't really care

Jack_ 12-04-2013 03:50 PM

Then again this decision has been made by Ben Cooper, the same man who pandered to the misguided BBC Trust and replaced their most successful breakfast show host in decades with Nick Grimshaw, and has turned the station into a One Direction and 12 year old girls obsessed network.

Actually talking of Moyles it's times like these I miss him on the station because regardless of whether he'd have been told not to or not, he'd have started a discussion on this on Monday and if he didn't agree with it he'd have made a point of not playing it, just as he did with 99% of Chris Brown's songs. Grimmy will toe the party line I'm sure.

Totally agree about Chris, he would play it if he deemed fit or not even if he was told to...
