Why do the callers request the same songs on Friday on r2?

 

[Traazers]

I decided R1 was no longer for me on account of Newsbeat explaining that the White House was where the US president lived…. Like WTF in the name of CBeebies?!

This is exaclty what winds me up! At some point during the kier starmer/andy burnham fuckery recently they said something like "Kier Starmer, the person who is currently in charge of the UK as Prime Minister..."

Mr Brightside

Because you don't always get what you actually want. I got through years ago on Dave Pierce #oldskool and they told me to ask for Feel It by Tamperer rather than Renegade Master by Fatboy Slim. Livid!

Which is presumably why Radio 1 now actively control listener requests with the same feature on every show dressed up as listener choice - Bangers on Matt & Mollie, the drive thru with Sam and Dani, Melvin, Rickie or Charlie etc etc

I always think it’s very easy for them to just pick whatever they want for the ten minute takeover as well, no one knows what order those texts are coming in. I don’t doubt they are real texts and people but they might skip some requests
