Yungblud plays a colorful mix of whatever he’s in the mood for on his new Sirius XM show “Yungblud Radio.” The show airs Mondays at 10 p.m. ET on the digital radio station’s Alt Nation channel (channel 36). The first episode can already be heard this evening.
He describes his own taste as a “schizophrenic amalgamation of the greatest music of all time.” A sample playlist that Sirius He also plans to play music from Oasis, The Cure and Arctic Monkeys.
“Radio has always been an iconic format for me,” Yungblud tells Rolling Stone. “Some of my earliest memories of discovering music are radio-related. Now having my own show on SiriusXM that can be heard across North America is something I’m incredibly proud of. Listening to music with all of you is going to be amazing. I’m on the air every Monday, baby! Tune in to Yungblud Radio if you dare.”
Gladiators, fries and lip fillers
A teaser video for the channel shows Yungblud sharing “Siriusly Obscure” facts about himself. Among them: the best chippie (British takeaway) in his hometown of Doncaster, his admiration for Marie Antoinette’s “rock star” attitude in the face of death – and the story of how a teacher who knew of his passion for ancient Rome gave all the other children footballs but gave him a textbook on the Holy Roman Empire. “I absolutely love gladiators,” he says. He also used the video to shut down rumors about lip fillers (spoiler: he doesn’t have any). And when asked which song he thought wasn’t played enough on the radio, he named the “unplugged” version of Stone Temple Pilots’ “Crackerman.”
Anyone who follows Yungblud’s career knows that his taste in music knows no bounds. He worked with the Smashing Pumpkins on a remix of his song “Zombie.” He won a Grammy for his version of Black Sabbath’s “Changes” – a recording made at the “Ozzy Osbourne’s Back to the Beginning” concert with members of Extreme, Anthrax and Sleep Token. And he sang “Wild Woman” with Aerosmith and Lainey Wilson. How many genres were there again?
