AJR have announced their fourth album "OK Orchestra" will release on March 26th! I assume it will feature "Bummerland" and "Bang!" (which has become their highest charting single in America!) - and the next single I imagine will be out fairly soon.

"My Play" came out yesterday :wub:

 

"World's Smallest Violin" (#143 in Spotify US; #68 in YouTube UK) is somehow getting a lot of boost from TikTok right now. I honestly discovered it there too, but didn't expect to be this huge. :o

 

Oh nice! Though they’re literally just about to release a new single so I hope this doesn’t delay that…

I thought they were supposed to be retiring. (Hint: they should xx)

When did you hear that?

I'm sure I read somewhere that 'Bang!' was meant to be a retirement song - in retrospect maybe that was just a joke / wishful thinking :lol:

Ahhh right. To be fair I originally thought that at first, but apparently it’s about growing up into adulthood.

Well, "World's Smallest Violin" is #87 in the update now.

Debuts at #83 this week. :cheer:

World's Smallest Violin is up to #79 this week.

'World's Smallest Violin' is probably the "best" song I've heard from them to be fair, it's still quite cringe but I think it's in a more endearing way than usual. Reminds me a bit of the Big Bang Theory theme though lol ~

It's much better than anything else I've heard from AJR, still has a bit of that cringe factor but it is also quite fun and catchy too. Wouldn't mind it becoming a hit.

It's now their second Top 75 hit as it climbs to... #75 this week!

 

I didn't realise 'Weak' had quite a big UK push a few years ago :lol: seems a bit random now.
