Yanko 9,860 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 BBC Radio 1 released an official statement this morning regarding the huge backlash triggered by their discriminating decisions against UK music legends like Madonna, Robbie Williams, Take That, Kylie Minogue and others.  Outraged fans and British taxpayers have bombarded BBC Radio1's facebook, twitter, phones and e-mails the last 2 days for not playing Madonna's "Living for Love". "Radio 1 does not ban anyone – please don’t believe the papers. The tracks played on Radio 1 are chosen on musical merit and their relevance to our young audience on a case-by-case basis, and whilst around 40% of the country's 15 to 29-year-olds tune into Radio 1 each week, an artist's age is never a factor. In fact, Paul McCartney currently has two tracks - 'FourFiveSeconds' and 'Only One' - on the Radio 1 playlist."  https://www.facebook.com/bbcradio1/posts/10153068600141763   Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miranda Sings 1,705 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 It has nothing to do with her age. They would play the song if it was clicking with their audience or was in high demand, but it obviously isn't. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hola Soraya 4,349 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Not buying their statement. It was made up obviously to protect their weaves from medonsters. I shall be praying for their sins right under the plastic disco ball. ¿Tú me estás hablando en inglés? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DriverMonster 10 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 I love how they use Paul McCartney as an example when he's only playing guitar on those songs. It could be anyone on guitar. They would never play an actual Paul McCartney track. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
