February 27Feb 27 Author Future chart hit? RAYENightingale Lane.2nd single from THIS MUSIC MAY CONTAIN HOPE.Released: 27th February 2026Label: RAYEVideoBiographyWhen RAYE speaks of her music, she doesn’t just talk of songs but of “stories”. And the South London singer-songwriter (born Rachel Agatha Keen in 1997) has quite the knack for writing them. Nominated for the Songwriter of the Year Ivor Novello Award in 2022, RAYE first broke through in 2014 with her star-signalling self-released debut EP, Welcome to the Winter, followed by the Stormzy-featuring Second EP two years later. A stream of singles and collaborations, including with Stefflon Don, Mr Eazi and Jax Jones, hinted at an artist who could shape-shift between musical spheres—and excel wherever she landed. But despite such successes (her name has also featured on the credits of songs by artists such as Beyoncé, Ellie Goulding, Little Mix and John Legend), RAYE felt trapped behind the scenes. In 2021—just months after the release of her chart-topping dance-pop anthem “BED” alongside Joel Corry and David Guetta—the singer-songwriter wrote on social media that she hadn’t been “allowed” to release her debut album and that she was “sick of being slept on” by her label, an allegation that sent shockwaves through the music industry. And it was then that RAYE returned to those stories, as she came to work on her long-awaited 2023 debut LP, My 21st Century Blues, as an independent artist. On it, she explores being a young woman in music and the trauma of sexual assault and substance abuse, but also the things any woman RAYE’s age might be moved to write about: climate change, relationships ending, falling in love with someone new. “This is about me telling the stories I want to tell, in the order I want to tell them, through the sonic landscape I want to tell them,” RAYE told Apple Music at the time of the album’s release. My 21st Century Blues, she added, wasn’t made with mainstream success in mind, yet that’s exactly what it brought. After the confronting “Hard Out Here.” and the made-for-repeat-listening “Black Mascara.”, she unleashed “Escapism.” featuring 070 Shake, a viral hit on both sides of the Atlantic and the biggest song of RAYE’s up to that point. It signalled, without doubt, that her time had come. “It is just the most beautiful validation,” said RAYE. “To know that you’re right to back yourself when you feel conviction and you feel passionately about something. I made this [album] battling and figuring out freedom, and I’m so excited for the artist I get to become. This has set the tone for me.” - Apple MusicTop 100 Chart History2016 15 By Your Side (Jonas Blue feat. RAYE)2016 03 You Don't Know Me (Jax Jones feat.

February 27Feb 27 Author Future chart hit? Alex WarrenFEVER DREAM1st single from forthcoming studio albumReleased: 27th February 2026Label: Atlantic Recording CorporationVideoBiographyA content creator who spans every imaginable outlet, Alex Warren stepped out from behind the phone and into the recording studio to introduce his passionate, ultimately chart-topping singer/songwriter pop. By 2021, was crafting quivering, sensitive, confessional pop tunes that slather his open-hearted melodies with layers of gossamer electronics -- the glossy bed provides Warren with an avenue to process the trauma of losing both of his parents at an early age. The California native charted abroad in early 2024 before making his Billboard Hot 100 debut with "Burning Down" from his debut EP, You'll Be Alright, Kid (Chapter 1); it charted internationally while reaching the top half of the Billboard 200. In 2025, Warren landed a global smash hit with "Ordinary," topping charts worldwide. It was included on his full-length debut, the international Top Five hit You'll Be Alright, Kid, which added 11 songs to his initial EP. - Apple MusicTop 100 Chart History2024 80 Before You Leave Me -1-2024 93 Save You A Seat -2-2024 09 Carry You Home -3- MILLIONAIRE2024 23 Burning Down -4-2025 01 Ordinary -5- MILLIONAIRE2025 09 Bloodline (Alex Warren & Jelly Roll) -6-2025 37 On My Mind (Alex Warren & ROSÉ) -7-2025 03 Eternity -8-2026 xx FEVER DREAM -1-1 x #1 | 2 x Top 5 | 4 x Top 10 | 4 x Top 20 | 6 x Top 40 | 8 x Top 100Social Media Alex Warren

February 27Feb 27 I prefer the new Raye track for #1 next week, or even sombr for a week, a well earned #1 will be great.The track from Bella is pretty much awful Edited February 27Feb 27 by Mart!n
February 27Feb 27 Really hope people sing their new songs at the brits. Like don't you want your new songs to do well?
February 27Feb 27 The point of the BRITs is to celebrate the music of the last year, it's not really meant to be a new music platform (though it is occasionally used as one anyway).
