Absolute Radio 10s

Absolute Radio 10s is the Absolute Radio network’s dedicated destination for music released during the 2010s. The station revisits a decade in which indie and alternative guitar music sat alongside electronic pop, arena-sized rock, singer-songwriters and major chart hits. Its focus is the sound of 2010–2019: a recognisable period of modern music with its own artists, production styles and defining anthems. The playlist spans the decade’s different moods. Listeners can expect the energy of festival favourites and guitar-led bands, the hooks of mainstream pop, melodic alternative tracks and songs that became part of everyday life through radio, streaming and live events. Artists associated with the 2010s sound include acts such as Bastille, Liam Gallagher, Ed Sheeran and Arctic Monkeys, which the station’s official schedule uses to describe its non-stop 10s selection. The mix is designed to balance instantly recognisable hits with tracks that bring back a particular moment in the decade. As part of the Absolute Radio family, Absolute Radio 10s shares the network’s presenter-led approach and its emphasis on rock, indie and real music, while keeping its playlist centred on one era. It is distinct from Absolute Radio 00s, which looks back to 2000–2009, and from the main Absolute Radio service, whose music spans a broader range of decades. That clear separation makes the station useful for listeners who want a concentrated 2010s soundtrack rather than a general classic hits format. The official schedule combines non-stop 10s selections and themed programming with recognisable network shows. Non-stop 10s is the station’s core automated music strand, while This Is The 10s revisits major hits and tracks listeners may have forgotten. The 10s No Repeat Guarantee adds a presenter-led daytime format: the current schedule lists Ben Coley and Olivia Jones in its daytime line-up. The Dave Berry Breakfast Show and Hometime with Bush and Richie also appear in the network schedule, giving the decade channel familiar voices alongside its focused playlist. Presenter and programme details can change, and schedules may differ by day. The official Absolute Radio 10s schedule is the best source for current show names and timings. The station’s presenter directory provides additional information about the people heard across the Absolute Radio 10s service and the wider network. This is preferable to relying on older listings, which may describe a previous programme rotation. Absolute Radio 10s works as a continuous soundtrack for listeners revisiting the music of the 2010s, whether they are after high-energy rock, indie singalongs, pop favourites or songs that defined a particular year. Its decade-specific identity makes it complementary to the other Absolute Radio spin-off stations rather than a replacement for them. You can listen online through the station’s official Rayo page and supported radio platforms. The official station pages provide the live player, schedule and presenter information; the available options may vary by device and listening service.

For anyone looking to hear the defining sounds of 2010–2019 in one place, Absolute Radio 10s offers a focused mix of modern rock, indie and pop within the established Absolute Radio family.
