BBC Radio 1 Presenter Interview


Playlist BBC Radio 1


Looking at the Radio 1 playlist (left) and the breakfast show playlist (right), you can see a huge difference in the top songs. Radio 1 playlist, consists of songs in the top 40 charts, therefore new & popular songs. Whereas, the breakfast shows playlist has a wide range of songs; new, old and classics. 

I think the reason the playlists are so different it because they have to attract to the audience that listen to each show. The breakfast show has a wider range because a more varied audience listen to it, having older songs such as the spice girls will be relatable for young adults as they are songs from their childhood. Whereas Radio 1 just mostly plays the charts as it is for the younger audience. 

You can see the link to both these playlists trying to target the largely under 30 audience as they are the people who are most likely to listen to new and popular songs in the charts as it will be a range of music genres. Also, the breakfast show playlist is new songs but also songs which would be around when the audience would be growing up so they would know all the songs. This targets them as people will enjoy the songs and not want to change the radio station.
