BBC Radio 1 Anthems is a national digital spin-off from BBC Radio 1, built around the biggest Radio 1-supported tracks from the 2000s and 2010s. The station focuses on familiar pop, dance, R&B, indie-pop and throwback favourites, giving listeners a dedicated stream for songs that shaped Radio 1’s sound across the last two decades.
The station is designed for nostalgia without feeling dusty. Its music mix leans into the era of massive chart singles, festival favourites, club anthems, pop breakthroughs and Radio 1 moments that younger adults grew up with. That makes it a strong fit for listeners who want recognisable hits from the 00s and 10s rather than a current-chart-heavy playlist.
BBC Radio 1 Anthems launched on BBC Sounds in November 2024 and later became available on DAB+ in the UK. The service combines familiar Radio 1 names, new presenting talent and themed anthem programming, sitting alongside Radio 1 as a companion station for throwback energy, feel-good listening and big songs from recent music history.
