Beats 1 requests

Want to request a song on Beats 1? Here’s a list of country-based request line phone numbers.

Interesting that Apple is going old school on this. Since Apple already has solid data on what is popular, it seems to me this is about capturing audio snippets they can play on the air. Which is also old school. Think Casey Kasem and song request shout outs.

I tried texting to the US line and got this response:

Thanks for texting the Beats 1 request line. We want to hear your voice! Please call us to leave a request. Thanks!

Interestingly, the phone was not on iMessage (it was green instead of blue).

One of the Beats 1 hosts, Travis Mills, posted this tweet:

Heading to @Beats1 LA & will be taking requests today! Hit me with a voice message at [email protected] & listen to me on @AppleMusic.

I texted a request to [email protected]. It is blue (as you would expect from an iCloud addy) and goes through with no response. Could be specific to Travis Mills’ show, could be a general request dropbox. I’ve not found an official mention of this address, so not clear yet who is monitoring the address.
