we have heart radio (aparantly we cant get any other stations) on in the office, and seriously i dont know how they have the barefaced bloody cheek to say "more music variety" they played Paloma Faith - only love can hurt this way twice by 11.30am!! (once at 8.45). They ruin songs we used to like, by constantly playing the same songs all the time

its dire Heart...

If you have a serious love of madonna/identifying absolute nobodies saying one word then it's a fabulous station!
Nope nope nope, shite, it's banned in my house/car/ears in general!

StickyProblem · 19/11/2014 14:15

Oh I know!!! We say the same! "LESS music variety, more like!" (We still listen to it though, best of a bad lot.) Having said that I haven't heard them say it lately though so perhaps Trading Standards made them stop.

StickyProblem · 19/11/2014 14:17

And then every so often you get a track that's EVERYWHERE but they don't play it. Last year I would have put up with all the Gotye and Daft Punk every 7 minutes if they just would have played John Newman "Love Me Again" too. But no, it's never on there.

Absolute radio. No repeat guarantee. Love it.

Rebecca2014 · 19/11/2014 14:22

It is funny. I remember 2 years ago they were always playing that move like Jagger song.

I don't get why they can't get more songs?

Catnuzzle · 19/11/2014 14:28

They always play Patrick Swayze, 'she's like the wind' as well. What's that about?

thatsn0tmyname · 19/11/2014 14:38

Every other song is something from the Dirty Dancing soundtrack. Tres dull.

peachgirl · 19/11/2014 18:55

Seconding the Absolute radio recommendation - I'm a big fan of the Frank Skinner show on Saturday mornings Smile

18yearstooold · 19/11/2014 18:58

At least someone has bloody won who's on heart!

Months and months of boring guesses

Coffeeinthepark · 19/11/2014 18:58

They really lost me with Who's on Heart - the most stupid and boring competition ever invented. They must have made a fortune from it.

ThatDamnedBitch · 19/11/2014 19:07

I mostly listen to Absolute 80's. Except for that cunt they have on on weekday mornings, can't remember his name. I turn over to Chris Evans on Radio 2 for the breakfast show.

VulvaVoom · 19/11/2014 19:10

'I keep going to the river to pray' over and bloody over - fuck off!

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 19/11/2014 19:11

Natasha Beddingfield "These Words"
Amy Winehouse "Back to Black"

over and over and over....
I listen to LBC.
No singin' Wink

AmazingBouncingFerret · 19/11/2014 19:12

Yes! They always play Patrick Swayzee! Years ago it was always that buttercup song

atoughyear · 19/11/2014 19:15

They always play 'We don't have to take out clothes off' too Confused

TheAlias · 19/11/2014 19:21

Why are they constantly playing Ah Ha? Practically one hit wonders from 3 decades ago and thieir song is always being played on there.

rosierelala · 19/11/2014 19:30

Eugh forced to listen to this at work. I swear that I can tell the time by whats playing on that station. I am positive they have one playlist and allow no deviation. So sick of happy, get into the groove and we dont have to take our clothes off.......

NotTheKitchenAgainPlease · 19/11/2014 19:34

The worst thing about Heart is it seems like it's playing on every bloody frequency. When we drive long distances it's the only thing on!
I do live for hearing she's like the wind though Blush

BastardGoDarkly · 19/11/2014 19:35

Absolute is no repeat during the day, but the next day is all the same songs, so that gets on my tits too, not as much as the egotistical knob ends that make up radio one though Confused

And yes to Frank Skinner on Saturdays!

londonrach · 19/11/2014 19:36

I miss the local stations. Heat took over orchard fm and others a few years ago. Been downhill since...

BastardGoDarkly · 19/11/2014 19:36

I was actually listening when the bloke won 'who's on heart' after almost a year of the fucking guessing!

BackforGood · 19/11/2014 19:46

I presume they've made a fortune from the 'Who's on Heart' phone ins, but I bet they've lost a lot of listeners - I turned off months ago as it was just so annoying every hour + several adverts for it throughout the hour as well.

Good to know it's gone for a bit, so I can listen again I quite like the music Blush Although, in my defence, I only ever listen for short bursts at a time, I never listen for hours on end.

SageSeymour · 19/11/2014 19:48

Bruno Mars. Adele. Olly Murs.

And repeat

youarewinning · 19/11/2014 19:54

Have it on in the car. 20 minute journey each way to school/work. I like it but agree they do tend to repeat songs. Luckily it's mainly ones I like! (Script ATM!)
