Just that really! Love their music, the uplifting beats and melodies. They make really good driving music.

Anyone else pushing 50 and into still into current pop music? Grin

Yep 43 and the Chainsmokers here. Going to their gig next month, will probably be mistaken for someone’s parents 😂

Sunnysidegold · 11/01/2018 21:08

I keep getting told I'm an embarrassment for listening to radio 1 still even though I'm pushing forty.

Nims45 · 11/01/2018 21:16

I've listened to I Miss You at least ten times today!!

Bastille here!

Nims45 · 11/01/2018 21:23

Thanks.. glad I'm not the only one!! I'm sure the Chainsmokers will be good, Lemons. Clean Bandit are on a world tour but can't see any dates in London in the near future. Maybe later in the year.

I bloody love them,for all the reasons you just gave!

3luckystars · 11/01/2018 21:25

Oh I thought it was a new kitchen spray. I looked!!

Anyway I will look them up. Thank you.

Nims45 · 11/01/2018 21:35

That's good DSHathawaysLover!

I feel like spreading the word about Clean Bandit (also want to stop feeling slightly ashamed of my collection of recent NOW CDs I play in the car!!) Grin. My name is Nims and I'm a middle-aged pop lover!

I've just started a job with an hour commute and am obsessed with Radio 1. I'm 38. I love it!!

ForalltheSaints · 11/01/2018 21:55

I have Stormy's Gang Signs and Prayer.

DratThatCat · 11/01/2018 22:11

I love clean bandit and Im 37! My fantastic husband bought me tickets to their concert back in November and they were AMAZING! But I was surprised that I was one of the youngest people there. Most seemed to be in the 40 - 60 bracket.

JenniferYellowHat1980 · 11/01/2018 22:12

Love the video but why do so many posters enunciate as if their mouths are full of marbles?

And yes I listen to Radio 1 a lot at the moment (thanks 7yo DD!) I even YouTubed Zayn and Sia a few times Blush

JenniferYellowHat1980 · 11/01/2018 22:13

popsters, not posters

squoosh · 11/01/2018 22:16

I have Stormy's Gang Signs and Prayer.

Make sure you refer to him as Stormzy if you're telling any young people that Wink

Nims45 · 11/01/2018 22:18

Really, Drat?!! That's excellent news, I'm so pleased to hear that. Will definitely try and get tickets for CB, then, when they next tour in the UK.

Apparently they met at Cambridge, who knew. Very talented bunch. I wondered if they were American.

I have a confession.
I'm PersonalClown, I'm nearing 40 very fucking soon and I bloody love BTS.

K-pop is awesome!! Grin

DratThatCat · 11/01/2018 22:20

And are CB ever going to release their second album?? Im getting very impatient!

DratThatCat · 11/01/2018 22:24

Yes Nims, it was Cambridge where I saw them play and they mentioned that it was where they all met 10 years ago.

I do ❤ them.

BabloHoney · 11/01/2018 22:25

My dad loves listening to Nicki Minaj and Avicii. He’s nearly 70!

UterusUterusGhali · 11/01/2018 22:28

I'm 37 and have gone back to radio 1. Radio 2 is dross now during the day.
I wish I could get digital where I live. 6 music is always fab.

NeilPetark · 11/01/2018 22:30

I’m 39 and love them!

Schiaparelli81 · 11/01/2018 22:31

I thought this was going to be a thread about oven cleaner.

Oh dear...

SistersOfPercy · 11/01/2018 22:32

Rather loved that violinist bloke. Now he was worth watching. Sadly he's quit so not as worth watching as before ☹️

Onecreamteatoomany · 11/01/2018 22:33

Yes! I have been listening to radio 1 again since their brilliant Ibiza weekend last summer and I'm 40 in April. DH thinks I'm having a mid life crisis!

JakeBallardswife · 11/01/2018 22:33

I’ve found my people!

I saw CB in 2016, they were excellent. Definitely want to see them again.
Also like Sigma, Bastille and Chase & Status. They’ve been around a while but new to me!
