Saturday at 14:314 days listening to Happy Anthems and forgot how much deepcuts they play on anthems! just heard ‘IT girl’ by JADE which surprised me as it was infamously stuck on the B List if i remember correctly.
Saturday at 19:324 days Author I have really enjoyed listening to the Anthems station this week. Having brand new shows has absolutely revitalised things and it's nice having a regular rotation of Lauren, Chelsea and Luke too. Lauren just IS Radio 1 Anthems for me so I'm glad they've kept inviting her back to host. Matt Hallsworth is also back at the end of the month.I'll be glad of the new Pop Anthems to start next week to break up the day as still hearing Dean is a little odd 😂Only a couple of niggles really:They need to ditch the Chillout Anthems repeats for good. Either do some new ones or find something else to go out. I know it's only on at midnight but I listened to all of them when they were on originally! A casual listener isn't going to care I guess.The 8pm slot could do with a refresh too and some new 'My Radio 1 Anthems'/'100 Greatest' countdowns. Fatboy Slim was the last one in April.

Fatboy Slim was the last one in April.restarting chillout would be a good idea, since we already have Workout and Dance anthems, we don't need dance party starters on main radio 1. The 8pm slot on the anthems timeline could just go to dance.I feel like they could go 2 ways tho if they don't want to overload on dance; The first is bringing in anthems inspired by what’s played on 1Xtra, probably titled “Urban Anthems”. They love to highlight 1xtra on the main station but outside of regular anthems it is ABSENT from the anthems stream. Another one would be Indie anthems inspired by 6music. We don't see Radio 6 mentioned a lot on the main station despite it having a pretty solid playlist. This would probably be titled “Indie Anthems”. Both would be nice additions to prevent dance music cluttering everything up.
Sunday at 09:393 days Author Billie Eilish's No Time to Die has featured a fair bit on Anthems recently. I know they dumped it pretty quickly at the start of the pandemic because of the title/nature of the track but they didn't ever add it again so it seems odd to call it an 'anthem'.

Love it paired with Blue Jeans (Lana Del Rey) and Oh My God (Mark/Lily). Edited yesterday at 00:381 day by Jay79x
