The singer, whose recent release 'Shark In The Water' was only given specialist plays, blamed the station for limiting access to new artists.
"Radio 1 are followers and they act like they lead, but they don't," she told KOKO Podcast.
"They didn't play Ladyhawke for ages and she had to re-release all of her stuff again. Florence [And The Machine] had loads of singles out before this one and they didn't even playlist La Roux at first - she got to number four without them and then they playlisted her."
She added: "It's who the radio stations decide to playlist first. Just because they playlisted Lady Gaga before Little Boots, does that mean that she came first? No, it's very political, so I just tend to concentrate on my music and what I'm doing, and hopefully people will connect to the honesty that I bring.
"It's going to take a while for me, I might not be playlisted straight away, but my album was number eleven on the iTunes chart without getting Radio 1 playlisted. It will come in time, but I have to keep going."
