Not a big radio listener but why the hell did we need FOUR more Beats stations?
So we don't have to listen to rap and EDM?

Like it or not Hip Hop has it's fingerprint all over this decade. The influence can even be seen in country music (to the chagrin of a lot of people), pop music, edm, trap, chill, etc. Hip Hop was the easiest avenue to the largest audience, regardless of a person's favorite genre.
It may help to understand that the world doesn't give a **** on what is popular in the us music scene. But the failure to understand this is a general us problem 8(
That's not condescension. Just stating fact. The first line of your evidence says it's bad evidence. Why would you use it to back up your point? Why would I need evidence? You were the one making assertions not me. To your credit, you provided evidence. It just happened to be bad evidence. Another pro tip: When you resort to name calling you only demean yourself.Pro Tip: if you have no point to make then you don't have to be a condescending ass. Where is your evidence? Just saying.
Again, unrelated to topic of genres.Doesn't matter what you think - when their music is categorized as X it's X no matter how much you and others would like it to be Y.
I can concede Hip Hop's dominance as a matter of opinion. The way you state that it's not, reads like a statement of fact. Based on what, gut feeling?That's fine and I didn't say that. But hip hop as the dominant music of the 2010s is not a truth. It has influenced, sure. But it's not the dominant force like it was previously. All music has been influenced by other music.
Am I reading this correctly? You don't know what most people want to hear, but, you do know it's not Hip Hop? Safe to say most people don't want to hear what's on Beats1? Based on that same gut feeling?Nope. I have no clue what most want to hear. I know what I want to hear and that's about it. But it's safe to say most people don't want to hear the current music that is played on Beats 1.
My post was about Hip Hop's influence on Beat1 programming. What does that have to do with the world not caring about what's popular in the US music scene? Apologies, but I don't get where you're going.It may help to understand that the world doesn't give a **** on what is popular in the us music scene.

1) Register Beats 6
2) ???
3) Profit
I looks like they are following the old BBC model of station designation and programming. That is have a highly promoted, center court station (Beats 1) and more specialized, vanguard or nostalgia programming in the secondary channels.Not a big radio listener but why the hell did we need FOUR more Beats stations?
"And the Beat(ings) will continue until Morale Improves."
B4 anyone worries, B9 will be patented soon enough and not for "B9" reasons, if the cynics are even remotely right.
Seriously, any 15 year old burger flipping kid that saves $3000 or whatever for "first to file" is instantly branded a "patent troll", yet scores of patents over this and other forms of nonsense and/or commonplace fluff that are put down by massive companies with exponentially more resources are all innocents merely "protecting innovation"?! What next, companies engaging in buyouts aren't interested in the bought company's patents but in the actual products sold?
Clearly the 2011 reform didn't work or was bunk to begin with.
Speak for yourself, please. I've liked Apple for 30 years, and I enjoy Beats 1 and Apple Music.Apple should stick to hardware and OS.
When they go social or music delivery it's ****. Beats 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 Apple? What the **** is going on. We don't want Beats or Apple radio station. What don't you get about that? Stop wasting yours and our money on this. Make better hardware and OS. That is all. We don't care about the rest.
Apple Music already has genre-specific stations. The point of a Beats station is that it's hosted and has "shows" that play a variety of different genres, so instead I can picture the next batch of stations serving particular languages.Beats 1: Hip-hop/modern pop/euro-crap
Beats 2: American Pop: 80's/90's/00's
Beats 3: Country
Beats 4: Rock/Metal
Beats 5: World Music: J-Pop/K-Pop/etc
Like others have said, Apple would be smart to launch a few dozen Beats stations to take on Sirius.
People have been saying that since the dawn of music.pop/chart music used to be good but now is total crap!
Beats 1 is run by high-profile people who have been in the music industry for decades. Heck, the station itself was Trent Reznor's idea.probably the person responsible for the music they promote from IT background and has nothing to do with art

Hint: Listen to a radio broadcast from 10, 20, 30, 40, etc. years ago, and most of it will be crap too.

Perhaps Beats 1 was their hip hop endeavor.
More evidence that Beats radio is just BBC radio ripoff. I'd love to know how many people are actually listening now semi regular basis.
http://www.bobborst.com/popculture/top-100-songs-of-the-year/?year=1985ok lets compare madonna, prince, depeche mode, dire straits etc. who dominated the charts 30 years ago with justin bieber, taylor swift or one direction.. even disco was more interesting compared to today's junk.

There's plenty of crap in there.
Wham! is #1, for example.

LOL! I like george michael, I think he's a great voice ;-) anyway, I find the chart of 1985 superior, there should be an explanation..
Careless Whispers may be a guilty pleasure of mine, but it's still pop garbage, LOL.LOL! I like george michael, I think he's a great voice ;-) anyway, I find the chart of 1985 superior, there should be an explanation..
