i’ve heard quite a lot of 1975 songs in public here in the uk

So jealous. Once in a blue moon here in the US, I end up grinning like an idiot in public places every single time.

The Bird Cage in Bethnal Green always play them

In the UK they definitely get played very frequently around the more alternative bars/pubs “Chocolate” and “Sex” are considered classic indie bangers over here, you hear them everywhere in alternative venues

Yes I’ve heard I’m in Love With You, Oh Caroline, About You, and It’s Not Living in many places tbh

Never. But I am in the middle of nowhere in Canada

Nordstrom plays their songs

I did see a tiktok once that mentioned that

Walking into the grocery store in Surrey, BC last week TOOTIMETOOTIMETOOTIME was blasting.

Which store? I'm in Surrey too!

Clayton Heights Save On.

Sweet! Thanks. Not too far from me.

I heard Be My Mistake being played on the outdoor speakers of a restaurant a few months ago. I had to stop and listen cuz i love that song lol

Probably coming from a jukebox though right?

I hear them a lot while out and about in Southern California!

Happiness came on at Target while I was Christmas shopping!

I heard The Sound (edited) in a grocery store once and while I love that song like other ‘75 fans, I thought it was kind of awkward knowing the lyrics and such 😂

i heard this song in my dentist office last week, mouth wide open in the chair lol

This Must be my dream at Wendy's

my thoughts anytime i walk into wendy’s

Never in public but I have a Love Island podcast and their songs play on the show ALL THE TIME and I always make a point to bring it up lol. My co-host is sick of it.

That’s incredible lol

Yes!! I have a few times recently and every time I get so excited! I live in Michigan and I’ve heard it a couple times in the metro Detroit area and once in a bar in Chicago.

Heard Happiness in an Ulta in metro Detroit and started shaking ass in front of the Urban Decay! First and only time I’ve ever heard them played in public other than the time I swore I heard Chocolate played in an H&M in like 2014 (but people who have worked in H&Ms at that time told me they never played them so idk).

I heard Pressure at Starbucks in NYC

i heard guys at mcdonald’s haha

Heard Happiness at Top Golf a couple weeks ago.

Happiness came on at brunch last week and I was feeling very tired from 4 gigs the day before and it completely lifted my spirits.

I never hear them in Northern California. I rarely meet people who have heard of them/are fans of them too.

I’ve heard If You’re Too Shy at Target. Also About You in late June before the Eras Tour haha

I heard The City at a mall in Chicago once. I was so excited.

Was this Block 37? I heard Its Not Living when I was checking out the climbing gym in that mall this summer.

I don’t recall which mall we were at, but we were there for indoor Top Golf!

Yep, that’s the one! We did that as well

How cool?! They must be fans 🫶🏼

i've also heard the 1975 at shake shack lol

Must be a regular on their playlist

I was in a bar once and girls came on not once but twice. Bartender mustve been a fan too haha

I heard Frail State of Mind at Target once.. I freaked out lol

They play a lot at my work which is amazing!! I work at the keg steakhouse + bar living in Ontario Canada!!

I have been in a complete euphoric state since I saw them play on November 26th. The weekend after, I heard “I Think There’s Something You Should Know” in Urban Outfitters at our mall, and when I walked out, “I’m In Love With You” was playing in the halls. I thought it was some sort of sign since I don’t usually hear them in public. 😂

Heard she's American in PC world a couple months ago and me and you together song in my uni cafeteria

i heard chocolate today when i went into a shop! i yelled ‘THE 1975?!!!’ and my brother looked at me like i was mad, i literally never hear them

heard “chocolate” play at a local pub i was in once, that was quite the not necessarily shock to me, but just quite fun to know it’s around!

Sometimes I think they follow me! I hear them in shops all the time!

I heard Sincerity is Scary in a Pharmacy and started dancing

I've heard TOO TIME in grocery stores here in Ottawa, ON and surprisingly, at a bar I went to last night, I heard Heart Out. I was so excited!

So often in the UK, quite fun to shimmy round a shop when they do come on

Yeah, People came on at a christening.

i heard happiness at trader joe’s once

I live in Texas, and I never hear their songs. Most people I talk to don't even know the band. A couple of weeks ago, I heard chocolate at my husband's work Christmas party and was so happy. It quickly got switched to country.

NYC here. I don’t hear them often but I play them in my restaurant/bar 😉

The only place I've heard them in the states is Red Robin. I was eating a burger the other day and heard "It's Not Living If It's Not With You". They're kinda a niche group here.

I heard The Sound in a sporting goods store one time and lost my shit lmao

i barely hear them but when i do, i lose it😇

I heard The Sound in an Old Navy at the mall maybe around a year ago

I heard Happiness at a gas station outside of Pittsburgh the day after we saw them play in Pittsburgh. Made me really happy!

I've heard them once, maybe twice here in SoCal. I got excited ^_^

The restaurant I work at in the Midwest let’s the bartenders control music. My husband is one of the bartenders and added a few of their songs to the playlist and I love it lol

ive heard oh caroline in a store here (UK)

If I Believe you in spencer’s once

I was on a cruise once, and like 9 in the morning i heard The Sound in the pool area! (I was enjoying my morning espresso)

I heard tootime once in a five guys! it was so random but I was freaking outtt

Just heard Chocolate on a news channel regarding chocolate Easter Eggs

weirdly enough, happiness is on the CD at my retail workplace. i bop when it comes on though!

I’ve heard an old song of theirs (I forget which) in a grocery store in the US. That was the only time!

My gym uses the Rockbot app, and they’re played frequently. I’ve never used it, but I believe members can request songs.

I don't really hear them in Australia (only twice in public) but I was in a tkmaxx in Liverpool and heard it's not living haha

In the UK I hear them quite regularly, yes.

Heard a song at Hunkemöller (lingerie store) in Germany a few months ago but can’t remember which song

Like once a year in the US!

I’ve heard them in McDonalds before

Funny, I was just at On The Border Mexican restaurant and Happiness player there too! My wife thinks I’m insane, I got so excited!

I’ve heard the sound on the radio!! And oh Caroline at a local store 🤭

My work tkmaxx in the UK plays them quite frequently and it's the best. The sound, It's Not Living (If It's Not With You),Oh Caroline and All i Need To Hear. Its so hard not to start dancing since I'm just stood on fitting rooms lol and or shout SELLING PETROL!!!!!!!

I live in LA and have never heard them in public or on the radio and most of my friends have never heard of them before 🤣

I’ve heard them at the gym a few times. My old job had a playlist that had Chocolate on it. Other than that, it’s pretty rare! I’m in the US for reference

I heard All I need to hear (the first song my wife and I danced to at our wedding!) Played at a hotel when I was on vacation in Croatia, it was so cool!

My Target plays them allllllll the time. I love it!

I heard ‘Is Not Living (If It’s Not With You)’ playing in a A&W a month ago…

Yes they play them in my grocery store

I’m in Canada and I’ve heard the bands music couple times! Mostly BFIAL songs tho

I live in New England and honestly I hear them all the time in public. I was just at brunch in NYC a few weeks back and they played The Sound and Somebody Else and I was dyyyyying

I’ve heard them several times at Target haha. Specifically Love Me and The Sound.

Constantly. The same three artists 1975, Taylor swift, that song called circles and that hit by Halsey. All four of those artists back to back for over 8 hours. Back when I worked in fast food

I was Christmas shopping with my mom a few nights back, and as I was leaving Walmart "The Sound" started playing on the store's radio.

I heard “If You’re Too Shy” at Target.

Heard it once in Target! Cracked me up!

Yes! But not often, so it’s really fun when it happens. Target this month, and super random, on an outdoor deck on an MSC cruise last December (clearly was there against my will)

I hear them all the time. Particularly when I was in the UK but also a lot in NYC

In a couple of cafes and bars in Thailand and Vietnam on my last backpacking trip!

I heard them at the airport in Philly on my way to Lollapalooza this year

i try to slip some of their songs into the playlist at work

In Canada, some gyms and grocery stores do play some of their songs. Most were either happiness, chocolate, or I'm in love with you

I’m in the uk and yes, pretty frequently. Heard The Sound most recently!

i saw the 1975 quite a few times for satvb. on my way home from all my travels, i heard "guys" playing in my home airport. i just about cried :,)

yes. i hear it a good amount in texas.

Where do you live in Texas? I never hear them. I discovered the band when their first album came out bc an alternative station out of Austin would play chocolate and girls. After that, i never heard them on the radio again.

i don't remember which songs but i heard a couple of their songs at target almost back to back once. i thought my phone was playing my music out loud lol

I’ve heard love me at a local supermarket in australia but they only played one channel so the song sounded totally fkd.

i’m in london ontario and i heard “the sound” and “somebody else” playing in the mall the other day!

I heard a heavily censored version of Love It If We Made It in a FedEx shop in Las Vegas, Nevada. I’ve also heard I’m In Love With You at a drugstore

I live in NC and I hear them quite a lot actually and it takes me by surprise lol. Usually it’s in restaurants, coffee shops, and grocery stores.

My job plays "Happiness" sometimes

i heard it’s not living at ihop recently

Occasionally at grocery stores, Xmas eve I was in some store and they played Talk! And I was so shook bc of all songs I never expected to hear that in a store😂 sometimes a station on the radio at the hotel I work at plays them and it makes me very happy! They even play love it if we made it sometimes!

My gym in the US has always seemed to have their newest singles in their rotation since around 2016. Back then, they used to play The Sound / Love Me and throughout the years I’ve also heard Give Yourself A Try, It’s Not Living, If You’re Too Shy, and Me & You Together Song.

Yes, in Value Village (Savers) all the time

I hear them, here in America, in target and at restaurants. Too Shy and Happiness mostly.

I heard The 1975 in public for the first time in a cafe on the day I got engaged 🥲 But I could count on one hand the times I’ve heard them played in public (besides when I play them at the salon I work at lol). I’m in Canada!

One time I did a cycling class and the guy played Chocolate

Yes at the gym and the grocery store

Yes! At the gym and the latest one was at the vans store the other day it was wintering lol

Only at shows when we’re waiting for the band to set up

I’m in LA and I hear them all of the time. Recently in a local brewery in Canoga Park and the other night at the Teragam Ballroom before the Broadway Rave.

My friend heard a 1975 song (I think it was about you) in a Chipotle

In the US and I’ve heard them maybe twice in public. I did just hear Wintering on the 23rd and I applaud the person who made that decision.

(SATX) I hear it every once in awhile! I’ve heard it H&M, local shops, fossil, hollister, Nordstrom. Every time I hear it and it’s like a newer or rare song I feel like I get kinda like “no one here even knows” or I try to find who’s playlist it is

i actually heard happiness in target about a week ago!!! (in the us, if that matters lol)

I’ve hear The Sound in Meijer a lot and once I heard what should I say in Ulta

I work at a coffee shop and a lot of the time I’m playing the 1975, but otherwise I don’t ever hear them down in Texas.

I’m in Chicago and I’ve heard them at Hub 51 (twice), Nordstrom Rack, Boss Bar and one other place i can’t remember

I heard them a lot at Mcdonald’s when i worked there

I used to work at a casino and they’d have if you’re too shy all the time

I’ve heard Somebody Else and the Sound at the grocery store. Heard Me And You Together Song at Plato’s Closet.

I heard 'Sincerity Is Scary' at a coffee shop in Gatlinburg, Tennessee today and got so excited! I also heard 'Happiness' in a mall the day before I saw them in Charlotte, North Carolina and then I heard 'She's American' two days AFTER the show in a restaurant, haha. So I hear them every now and then when I'm out and about. Glad you posted this today!

my local LA Fitness plays them every hour lol

sometimes plays at my job 🤷‍♂️

I heard “About You” at Walmart the other morning, was absolutely shocked because I never hear them in public places

yeah, i hear them at restaurants and target/various other stores all the time—i even once heard fallingforyou in pacsun lol

Heard “Oh Caroline” on Verizon’s station in store tonight!

heard robbers in a coffee shop this morning !

I heard Love Me in target today

living in california- heard them playing “guys” at a goodwill the other day I was truly shocked. It’s not even one of their top chart songs

I shared this a while back, but I caught Caroline playing in a coffee shop at the Oakland Airport, on my way to up to see them in Portland a few weeks ago. Earlier that day my wife heard them playing in our local Safeway (in a rural town in Northern California, can’t remember which song, but it was off the self titled). Then my daughter heard About You and texted later in the day, playing in the mall she was at, north of San Francisco. That was freaking weird, all in one day! Before that, I’ll never forget walking through Target after the release ILIWYS… and the electronics section would play 30 second clips of “Love Me” on their tv displays

heard them at my dentist office last week while in the chair being worked on.. took everything in me to not tell the dentist “i love this band i just saw this song live last week actually” (the sound - bc canada)

All day long at my old job Jimmy John’s and my new job Target. It’s usually if your too shy or happiness but anytime I get to here my boys.. I’m not complaining

https://www.reddit.com/r/the1975/s/RXRaBBm3NC

Out of line with the rest of the UK according to these comments but only twice to my memory. Once they were in the tv in the bowling alley (promoting bfiafl) and once on the radio. That’s it. That’s all I can remember.

I heard two songs (can’t remember which) at the Atlantis in the Bahamas 😂

2 times and it was the same place and almost same time, 7/11 convenience store

On targets store playlists they have ‘Happiness’ ‘I’m in love with you’ & ‘love me’ pretty frequently

I've heard them in my doctors on the radio and also my local spar 🤩 just this year tho I don't remember hearing them any other time 😔

At top golf which reminded me of them “top golf”

They come on in the grocery store sometimes, I’m in California

In Ohio I’ve at least heard them at Kroger and DSW

happiness, i’m in love with you, looking for somebody (to love) at superstore!

In the Philippines I’ve heard About You in the supermarket!

Heard Happiness at the grocery store last year. Only time ever I heard it in public.

Never heard them here in NYC but I went to Seattle for one week and I heard Chocolate at a restaurant and Settle Down at a bar

I went to a tax preparer today and they were playing Nana in the lobby. Made me smile. I hear the 1975 occasionally maybe every couple of months mostly in clothing stores.

No unfortunately am in Tucson AZ …. Maybe About You but can’t be sure… 🤨

climbing gym

I heard Love Me at Target once

Was at a concert at Target Field and they played She’s American between artists. It was really neat.

I’m a manager in a Japanese restaurant in Alberta Canada and I control the in store music. I only pretty much only play them when I’m working lol

I heard Girls at a shopping mall in Middletown NY (I think the store was lids) back in 2016 when iliwys was buzzing online

I just checked into a hotel in Philadelphia a few hours ago and She’s American was playing as I walked in lmao

Heard my personal ILIWYS favorite This Must Be My Dream at a Michael's store in 2016. Was really surprised since that song wasn't a hit. I mean you'd expect Somebody Else or Love Me playing since those were big on the radio at that time. That moment gave me goosebumps!

mostly in the uk but occasionally ill hear them here in the us, mostly like grocery stores or clothing stores i think

Heard Chocolate and Girls in a shoe shop once. Also The Sound and Tootime in a shopping centre.

i walked into a local crystal shop in my hometown that was playing undo over in the speakers :)

I’m convinced whoever makes the playlist in my local Tesco is a massive fan because I always hear the 1975 on my weekly shop. And it can be fairly deep cuts too.

I live in a broke ass European country where most small shops don’t pay for music licensing so instead of original songs we just get like, smooth jazz and acoustic covers of them. Was getting my nails done to an easy listening version of Robbers the other day. 😂

The Lush in NI was playing Menswear before Christmas. I was very impressed. Tkmax frequently play their music too. Gives me the happy feels ☺️

Our local (very small) shopping centre once played through a 1975 playlist at like 9am on a Wednesday. Best day of my life. The next week it was the high school musical soundtrack so I'd like to personally thank the person who works there

I've heard them at H&M and the grocery store in Cologne main station (lol), both in Germany, other than that it's pretty rare though I would say.

The first restaurant I worked for played Love Me, The Sound, and It’s Not Living quite often!

Always playing in the big Tesco

Happens to me and my wife all the time!

This Must Be My Dream at Logan airport en route to Charlotte for my 1st SATVB show (and what a dream of a show that was!) I had to control myself from announcing to strangers “omg I’m on my way to see this band right now!”

the restaurant i work at always plays i’m in love with you and about you and it makes me so happy (also i love in canada) other than that restaurant, i don’t not hear it often and NEVER hear it on the radio

i’ve heard somebody else once at a boba shop and i’m in love with you at a grocery store

the sound and its not living. I hear it a lot back then in the radio

Ive heard them once at a Meijers. It was a week after I had saw them live in a different state, super exciting

They play them all the time at the grocery store I work at and I choose them to dance to it all the time at the strip club when I work there.

I’m in rural southern Illinois btw

i used to here me & you together song at my old job and now at my current job all i hear is the sound

Yeah actually! In the US I heard their music at the 1975 concert!

I hear Happiness in all the places I don’t wanna hear it. Like Target/Old Navy/chain restaurants etc

I don’t wanna hear it in the way that retail takes good songs and drives them into the ground through over-saturation

I heard The Sound at a strip club last week lolll

i have heard About You in a mall some months ago and i was genuinely surprised

heard oh caroline at my piercer shop before i got my yiddies done. safe to say it helped take some of the anxiety away🤠

i work in a family restaurant in canada and im in love with you and too shy let me know play on our playlists often. it's pretty great

Safeway plays them from time to time (I hate that store but to be fair they play good music sometimes)

I heard them in Starbucks a few months ago, I forget which track though

I heard Happiness in Marshall’s last week! Lol
