Foo Fighters, Franz Ferdinand, and Kaiser Chiefs are set to take over the digital airwaves when The 成人快手 6 Music Selector returns on Monday 12 December 2005.
听
The chart-topping artists follow in the footsteps of Selector's previous incumbents, Radiohead and The Manic Street Preachers, who were given the freedom to programme 成人快手 6 Music for a week in 2003 and 2004 respectively.
听
This year's hosts will each enjoy one day's reign, during which they can champion a favourite artist, album of the day and select classic live performances from the 成人快手's unrivalled music archive.
听
Foo Fighters kick off the proceedings on Monday and will embrace the challenge with typical gusto: "We're really excited to be taking over the station for a day and can't wait to get our hands on the 成人快手 archive."
听
Kaiser Chiefs and Franz Ferdinand have both enjoyed massive success this year, with the former receiving a Mercury Music nomination for Employment and the latter's second album, You Could Have It So Much Better, garnering rave reviews.
听
The 6 Music Selectors will offer a personalised insight into their musical tastes, revealing the artists that have influenced them and continue to fire their musical curiosity.
听
Kaiser Chiefs have already commissioned a brand new session from their Rock 'n' Roll Riot tour mates, and current favourites, The Cribs.
听
Franz Ferdinand's session meanwhile comes courtesy of a new and unsigned Glaswegian talent, The Nineteen Nineties.
听
成人快手 6 Music's Head of Programmes, Ric Blaxill, has been delighted by the incredible response.
听
He says: "It is a real honour for the network that these artists wanted to come on board and make The 6 Music Selector even bigger than its previous incarnations"

Notes to Editors
听
成人快手 6 Music is a station for listeners who are passionate about contemporary music.
听
The network champions the very best in rock and popular music and its music output is not dictated by the charts or influenced by fashion trends.
听
It covers a large range of popular music genres and artists giving a national platform to the more obscure and less commercial tracks that rarely receive airtime on radio.
听
It is available on DAB digital radio, digital satellite (channel 870), digital cable (channel 865 or 909), Freeview (channel 707) and online at bbc.co.uk/6music.
