August 19Aug 19 I wonder if Fontaines D.C. will get insta added on Friday? They gave a big fan fair to the new song on Breakfast yesterday and ‘It’s Amazing To be Young’ was insta B-listed last year. Is an A-list add too far?
August 19Aug 19 Author I wouldn't be at all surprised with an A-list add for them, I'd say a minimum of B-list is guaranteed.

I suspect Chase & Status will get there, but beyond that I’m struggling. Would love to see ‘Manhattan’ get there but I very much doubt it.Beyond Fontaines, there’s a fair few I hope they add this week:Nothing But ThievesFlorence Road Cloonee/Prospa ANOTRRose Gray (maybe a couple more weeks yet)

August 19Aug 19 Radio 1 never supported Fontaines D.C. as much as I thought they ought to until their last album (iirc 'Starburster' was their first song to make the A-List). An instant A-List add would surely be justified for this after how huge their last era was but we'll see x

Especially when, currently, only 2 daytime presenters fit into that age range. They are Sam and Danni.Feels like total bollox especially in this day and age when they share so much new music with Radio 2. I'll always love new music (and fun content, a lot of the stuff the presenters talk about like going on holiday, being stuck in traffic jams, going to gigs, watching telly etc isn't really age-specific anyway) and R1 will always be the best source for it. It won't be long until S+D are over 30 too. I find them very relatable at 43! They probably need to stop saying 'Uncle Greg' though. If I remember rightly, Greg talks about how much he hates the ageism/target audience thing in his book! On 16/08/2026 at 00:32, HiyaLuv! said:It's gonna happen.Well this aged well.
