RAMROD 105,364 Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 yeah... exactly why they are moving her to a playlist that will suit the ppl that are more likely to have "ears" that appreciate her difference ears are exactly why we have different kinds of stations u just contradicted yourself in this post No I am not. I was saying genres based stations are fine. But age may be a bit much. There are young people that enjoy Madonna's music too. Or olderusicians for that matter.

LoveandMagic 1,731 Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 I found the article a little wishy washy. It's one thing if her music isn't popular with the audience, but to ban her just because of her age (if that's what they are doing) is dumb. All that should matter is the music. From what I see on this board, Madonna has plenty of fans, many of them surely in the demographic of Radio 1. And I for one could care less if Madge wants to perform pop well into her fifties, sixties, or seventies. Why not? Pop isn't just for teens or twenty somethings. Besides, I doubt she will care while she's traveling on her next worldwide, sold-out tour. Just repeat to yourself, "It's just a show. I should really just relax."

craig 680 Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 I think they should just say we only play hit songs because what if her song goes #1 world wide (I know its not happening). Then they cant take this back. Robbie Williams went #1 UK with Candy and they still didn't play him. And he was only 39 at the time. I think the policy is too extreme. Don't see why they can't give artists 40-50 a bit of support on a lead single and see what happens. But at 56, Madonna has proven herself a heritage act with MDNA's performance.

craig 680 Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Just move her to their another radio playlist that they think suit the age. Radio 2 has more listeners, but they don't buy singles. They do buy albums more if they appeal to R2's older audience. Which Madonna's music isn't targeting. There was a govt. report around 2010 that demanded Radio 1 work to achieve a younger average age for it's listeners. Madonna is lucky these policies weren't in place earlier, or they'd start hurting her with American Life. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HighwayGuy 1,498 Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 This whole article is very misleading really The BBC has just decided that Madonna fits better on Radio 2 rather than Radio 1 based on the type of audience the two radio stations have, they did the same with Take That last year BBC R2 is much more popular than radio 1 anyway Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
