Radio 1 bosses have sparked a war with some of the biggest female names in pop after refusing to include their music on playlists.
Some of the stars who have had tracks left off the A, B and C rosters are Rita Ora, Ellie Goulding, Katy Perry, Shakira and Pink – who all fall outside the station’s target listener age of 15 to 29.
Industry insiders say the “discriminatory” snubs are “unacceptable”.
