I just take the assumption that anything that gets very heavy daytime radio play is a single. 7 hours ago, HiyaLuv! said:R1 isn't that much of a "youth" station listener-wise in 2026 and it doesn't feel like they even pretend it is anymore, I frequently hear voice notes on there from people who say they're on their way to pick up their grandkids etc so God knows where that 15-29 nonsense fits into this. That age range was put in place at a time when pop culture worked completely differently and when there was a clear generational gap when it came to music.Yeah the 15-29 target audience thing is very strange. Especially when, currently, only 2 daytime presenters fit into that age range. They are Sam and Danni.From September, 5 presenters will fit into that age range. They will be Jerry, GK Barry, Charley, Sam and Danni.

Tuesday at 21:261 day Oh my god Rose Gray! I actually prefer ‘Just Be Bodies’ to ‘Club To Your Arms’ so would love to see it added.

Tuesday at 23:461 day Is this the first time Rose Gray has had any tangible support? I know she's very much on the sidelines of the pop world but I'd so love for her to have a chart hit one day.

I wouldn't say she's "on the sidelines of the pop world" she is signed to a big label and makes chart and radio-friendly dance-pop music, similar to the likes of Charli xcx and PinkPantheress who have had chart and critical success recently.
