I mean, that's ok, and if those radio stations have their rules of not playing X artists, that's fine
But my question is, why even having the two separate radios in the first place? If they have a Radio 2, that's because there's people who consume that, otherwise they would just not play them at all. Does Radio 2 play young artists?
I may sound ancient, but back in the day, at least where I live, I would always listen to artists from all ages on every radio station, as long as they were popular. Heck, it was always the youngest acts who would be given the second thought because often they wouldn't be considered serious enough to be played with the adults.
Most importantly, are teenagers currently listening to radio these days? Who is requesting these songs then?
I don't know, the idea in general of applying ageism to something like music, is very strange to me. Wasn't Cher over 50 when she released Believe? It makes more sense to me if they don't play a particular genre, or remixes, or idk, songs that are too short, too long, but wtf does the age of the artist have to do with the quality of the music?
What's the limit? They'll play a song by an artist that is 39 years old, but not 40? Or 49 but not 50? 29 but not 30? It's just very silly regardless of how long they've been doing this.
It might have started small internationally but had an amazing drop this weekend - only 34%, which shows that word of mouth is great and the interest is still there. And as per Deadline: Midweeks were good, with Monday to Thursday producing 62% of the opening weekend (a better percentage than Beauty and the Beast, Jungle Book, Cinderella and Maleficent).
I already heard countless stories where people didn't really want to see the movie but loved it afterwards. So I am still hopeful for good final results, although June is pretty crowded in cinemas...
Either way, I saw the movie for the 4th time and loved it even more! This movie is a gift that keeps on giving
I understand the frustration but it’s well known that BBC Radio 1 is all about the youngest and latest acts, targeting a young audience. As much as you love Kylie Minogue, you can’t deny she’s a Radio 2 artist…
Just to put things into perspective, at Radio 1 they have completely snubbed Jonas Brothers’ new songs, however, they played them all the time at Radio 2. We’re no longer young and so are our favourite artists we grew up with, and that’s okay.
The beginning of the first episode was kinda interesting and reminds of the way succession was filmed. But the second half I couldn't really bother and waited for some story to evolve.
