How to request a song to air on Apple's Beats 1 radio station
Something not widely known about Apple's Beats 1 radio station is that listeners can make song requests, in a process that's a little different from conventional, terrestrial radio stations.
Beats 1 DJ Julie Adenuga.
Apple has set up a special Request a Song page on Tumblr, with lists of phone numbers covering regions like Canada, the U.S., Germany, Japan, and Australia. In the case of Canada, the U.S., and the U.K., toll-free numbers are available. People from outside the listed regions must call a U.S. number where long-distance charges apply.

An alternative option involves using the Messages app for iOS or Mac to send a request to beats1radio@icloud.com.
Beats 1 debuted on June 30, and is anchored by three main DJs: Zane Lowe, Ebro Darden, and Julie Adenuga. There are also a variety of celebrity shows however, hosted by names like St. Vincent and Elton John.

*gasp*
They got my request!! Sqeeee!!
That's a great tip, thanks!
My first request would be to shut it down and give up. I just don't give a damn about it.

You're welcome!

Yeah, **** all the other millions of people who are enjoying it, they should shut it down because YOU don't give a damn about it. I'm constantly amazed at some of the narcissism, self-righteousness, and selfishness of people on this forum.
No one is fucking forcing you to listen to it, and its existence does not affect your life in any negative way. Yet, your wish it to prevent others from enjoying it because of some misguided vindictiveness. You sound like an awesome person. Based on your other posts, you don't give a damn about most things concerning Apple anyway, which you make loud and clear, over and over again- maybe you should move on to something more interesting to you?
These are FULL posts from you, not excerpts. How the hell do trolls like you, who contribute absolutely nothing except hatred and trash, survive for so long here? I would think at least one word posts, which most of yours are composed of, would be banned. What an embarrassing and nasty posting record. The extend of your posting is simply claiming that things millions of others use and enjoy are "shit" and "crap". Mods, hello?
Wow, somebody has way too much time on his hands. Got you going didn't I? Exactly the reason for my posts!

So you just admitted the "exactly the reason for your posts" is to "get people going", ie. a troll? Not to actually contribute anything of value of this forum, or engage in real discussion?
Mods, are you reading this?
And yes, it took all of 5 min, worth it if it will bring attention to your spam-bot type trash by the mods and get you banned so we don't need to trudge through your never-ending spam. A service to me and everyone else on this board.
ROFL
With the advent of full library of apple music available to everyone through streaming, why woukd anyone make a call to have a so played for them..? ... When they can do it with a simple search in the app.
Uh, you DO realize that requests are typically made for other people, right? Or because you'd like to share a song with others? Has nothing to do with what you want to hear.
They were taking tweets, too, weren't they? I thought on the first day they said they'd be monitoring #beats1 for requests at certain times.
For the joy of listening to an inflated ego talk over their requested song, I guess.

Some have not subscribed to the streaming service. They may still listen to Beats 1.

I had the same question as @Yojimbo007. What both of you said makes sense.
