I dont like gold it's more repetitive than smooth to be honest. Nice to hear Paul Hollins on drive so much better than Im Anthony Davis. Just a shame playlist is still crap.

Magic has a pretty similar playlist to Smooth. It always seems to be playing the Beatles whenever I flick onto it

The Beatles are the 20th most played artist on Magic London according to CompareMyRadio, and 6th on Magic AM. They've been popping up a lot on Smooth recently too..

Presume you are talking about Magic AM not the London station?

I wondered if A Castle was still doing his show during Wimbledon. Seems not. Quote:
Pity it's only for 2 weeks.
Two weeks is too long!! ![]() I follow tennis year round, and having him on every day for 2 weeks is enough!! No more please. The sooner he's back to where I don't hear him (on Smooth) the better. He really is dreadful as a tennis commentator IMO.

this thread and everyone's comments are far more entertaining than Smooth.

Many stations do this and its extremely confusing to the listener. Its like when they advertise the travel during an ad break saying "next". Completely pointless.

![]() ![]() ![]() Jeez!! You couldn't make it up! Love Wars was better anyway. I can tolerate Andrew Castle doing the tennis this fortnight. I've no idea how anyone could tolerate him playing music on Smooth however. I have to laugh at Wimbledon when he gets spoken to by Sue Barker and his name comes up on screen, and underneath it says "Made 2nd round at Wimbledon 1986 & 1987". Now that's a sporting claim to fame if ever I saw it.

Aren't these popular music dyslexics a bit late for their condolences, after all the singer on Teardrops (Cecil Womack) passed away early last year. I think this illustrates the typical Smooth listener perfectly for superficiality.
Love Wars was better anyway. <snip> I would agree that Love Wars is the better song but Teardrops is the one that has got in the public conscious more – maybe because it has been constantly played since 88 – in some respects it fits more alongside 90s artists such as the likes of the Brand New Heavies rather than a late 80s song. I wouldn’t be surprised if many people would put Womack & Womack in the “one hit wonder” category – which of course that is not a truth. As for the confusion with Bobby – Womack is an uncommon surname so I can understand why the wrong connection has been made. Personally I would look up information before making a tribute but a lot of people write instantly. Quote:

Bobby Womack wrote music for others as well as himself.
