BBC Radio 1 is a British national radio station operated by the British Broadcasting Corporation which also broadcasts internationally, specialising in current popular music and chart hits throughout the day. Radio 1 provides alternative genres after 7:00pm including electronic dance, hip hop, rock or interviews. It is aimed primarily at the 15–29 age group, although the average age of the audience is 33.
Radio 1 was established in 1967 (along with its somewhat more adult-oriented counterpart, BBC Radio 2) as a successor to the BBC Light Programme, which had broadcast popular music and other entertainment since 1945. Radio 1 was conceived as a direct response to the popularity of offshore pirate radio stations such as Radio Caroline, which had been outlawed by Act of Parliament. Radio 1 was launched at 7:00am on Saturday 30 September 1967.
Taylor Alison Swift (born December 13, 1989) is an American singer-songwriter and occasional actress. Raised in Wyomissing, Pennsylvania, Swift moved to Nashville, Tennessee at the age of fourteen to pursue a career in country music. She signed to the independent label Big Machine Records and became the youngest songwriter ever hired by the Sony/ATV Music publishing house. The release of Swift's self-titled debut album in 2006 established her as a country music star. "Our Song", her third single, made her the youngest sole writer and singer of a number one song on the country chart. She received a Best New Artist nomination at the 50th Grammy Awards.
Swift's second album, Fearless, was released in late 2008. Buoyed by the chart success of the singles "Love Story" and "You Belong with Me", Fearless attracted a crossover audience and became the top-selling album of 2009. The record won four Grammy Awards, with Swift becoming the youngest ever Album of the Year winner. Fearless also received Album of the Year plaudits at the American Music Awards, Academy of Country Music Awards and Country Music Association Awards, making it the most awarded album in country music history. In 2010, Swift released her third album, Speak Now, which sold over one million copies in its first week. She then embarked on the 111-date Speak Now World Tour, which was attended by over 1.6 million fans and has become one of the highest-grossing concert tours of all time. The album's third single, "Mean", won two Grammy Awards for Best Country Song and Best Country Solo Performance. Swift is currently recording her fourth studio album, due for release in the fall of 2012.
Kelly Brianne Clarkson (born April 24, 1982) is an American singer, songwriter and occasional actress. Clarkson came into prominence after becoming the winner of the inaugural season of the television series American Idol in 2002 and later was the runner-up in the television special World Idol in 2003.
In 2003, Clarkson released her debut album, Thankful, which was a commercial success and established herself in the pop music industry. The release of its first single, "A Moment Like This" (2002), broke The Beatles' record for the biggest leap to number one, from 52, in the history of the Billboard Hot 100 chart. After parting ways with her management, Clarkson developed a more rock-oriented music with the release of her critically acclaimed sophomore album, Breakaway (2004), which sold more than 12 million copies worldwide and which garnered Clarkson more worldwide success as a pop rock artist. The album's single, "Because of You" (2005), became the best-selling single by an Idol contestant worldwide. In 2007, Clarkson took full creative control for her third album My December, which had a more rock-inspired sound and was met with controversy and moderate success. Clarkson later returned to a more pop-oriented sound with All I Ever Wanted (2009), which became a commercial and critical success. The album's lead single, "My Life Would Suck Without You" (2009), surpassed "A Moment Like This"'s record for the biggest leap to number one on a single week in the history of the Billboard Hot 100 Chart, a milestone it still holds today. Furthermore, it also became her first number one single in the United Kingdom. Clarkson's fifth studio album, Stronger, was released in 2011, containing elements from synthpop, R&B and country music. The album's single, "Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)" (2012), became her longest number one single and eventually became her best-selling single in the United States.
Banned for life from the institute of fame
Radio 1 a million listeners can't be wrong
Switching off not switching on
So ya don't wanna play me song, on the air
Cos I despise you, and I'll say it, yes I dare
I got a stereo in my head
Got a hi-fi in my mansion
I'm searching for another way
Radio 2, Radio 3..it's very me
No I don't wanna get cheeky with it
Still got my Ziggy ticket
Just what the world needs now
Another lousy boy band
Immitation Velvet Underground
No one likes the truth
Don't wanna be the voice of youth
I'm getting old and losing my hair
Got pretty eyes, why should I care
No I don't like Eminem
Hatred with a wicked beat
Oh why, cos I'm one of them
I'm a fag, you're a fake
Alex Donelly are you awake?
Jo Wiley your so damned cool
Didn't I used to work with you?
Heard you snipe at my reformation
Heard you diss me, on the TV
Put your words in the mouth of a school
I loved Wham when I was at school
Mel C, you wannabe...talented, you got lucky
Buy a DJ, someone hip
A barrel with far too much lip
I used to worship you
Walk the streets with ya to my ear
Cos my mother said turn that down
Now if I had my way
I'd burn that building to the ground
Boy bands and cheerleaders
Homophobes and earbleeders
American misplaced anger
I won't hang ya
I'll just hang myself
Castles in the sky
What the hell are they
Who builds them anyway
I kiss you Annie on 1
John Peel the prodigal son
I didn't become a musician
to take the foetal position
Someone get me a gun
Screw you radio 1
A million listeners can't be wrong
Switching off not switching on
A million listeners can't be wrong
Switching off not switching on
A million listeners can't be wrong
Switching off not switching on
Not switching on
Not switching on

Melancholy snipers
