@Bror isn't gonna believe it but Alan Walker has dropped another song this week

I'm really going to have to listen to like 30 Alan Walker songs this year aren't I x

Can we tell LSR/CITY enough of the cover versions already...

Voted for KI/KI just ahead of Danny/Dua.

I mean, there's no law that says you have to x

The one that sounds like a low top 40 1995 hit, 'Come Back To Me'.

'5am' KI/KI good too.

'Two Hearts' is a decent enough tune, the production is very Robyn and Kleerup.

'Share The House' is like an inferior Martin Solveig and Sam White - +1 from 10 years ago!

No to the LSR/City Smiths cover.

That's because it is a cover version of the Lisa Marie Exerience Remix of Angelheart Featuring Rochelle Harris – Come Back To Me - peaked at #68 in April 1996.

unless Alan Walker does a collab with mid-table pop artists (like that Labate & Sorana collab), i think you can just disqualify him if he's not even Top 3/5 in NMF Norway and give actual producer a chance x

His upcoming album has 17 tracks and it's possible for him to release them all as singles
