Does RAYE really need to sing over the top of a vocalised backing track??

Calvin Harris sounds great, getting me excited to see him at Creamfields

Riviera said lemme serve you up some stale

It also happened in the sky 🤭

Some remind me what I Like is sampling??

Overnights are all pre-records now so Anthems and Pop Anthems aren't technically live even though they're new when they're aired but they could give one of them to a newbie really.

It is album release/promo week for him so I'd imagine he/his team want as much exposure as possible

All episodes are available on BBC iPlayer from today! Might have to give it a full rewatch

Yes I am very much enjoying how well the social and political tone has been captured. Russell sure knows how to do queer drama.

Been played 3 times today, including just a few moments ago. It's been added to the playlist

@danG I've reconfirmed but had to submit a new form as there wasn't an edit function

Callum randomly being at the lock in at The Vic bothered me, it was completely unnecessary 😂. He's definitely overdue his exit now.

Come through Mis-Teeq boob act x

It's a bit screechy but also feels like a big pop moment for him

This week sees the 2026 FIFA World Cup commence and there's a whole album associated that has been released today. Shakira and Burna Boy have been given the official record title for the event this year and that lands in the UK Singles Chart at #87 today. As we brace ourselves for a 3 Lions return (there's a CD coming next week!), it got me thinking that over the years we've seen some great, some terrible and some persistently reoccurring tracks. From Baddiel/Skinner/The Lightning Seeds, New Order to even Dizzee Rascal/James Corden, is there a favourite that you have? Share some of them here and let's relive some memories and make some discoveries too. I particularly remember 2006 being quite the year with the likes of Crazy Frog, Tony Christie, Black Eyed Peas/Sérgio Mendes and Infernal (remember From London to Berlin?) scaling the charts. 1998 was also a big one with Vindaloo, Carnaval de Paris (definitely my favourite) and 3 Lions '98. 2010 with Wavin' Flag and its 20 million remixes, plus Shakira's huge track Waka Waka.

Vertical is out today. Boys In Blue has also been added to the Radio 1 playlist.

Out today, it sounds really good

Banger after banger

I do feel like the weekday schedule needs a shake up again. Rickie, Melvin and Charlie can go and they also need to switch up Going Home properly as it's been a total mess since it started with its persistent line up changes. Sam and Danni should definitely move to weekdays. I'd like to hear more from Emil and yeah Minah has been great at covering where needed. Mylo and Rosie can replace Dean on Early Breakfast too as they've been great this week.

We now have a video that displays the live visuals used at their concerts. A remix by Dansyn was played on Radio 1 earlier today.

Next weekend Dan P Carter, Alyx Holcombe and Maia Beth are providing Download Festival coverage Saturday (13th) 1-4pm and Sunday (14th) 9-11pm.

'Even Angels Ghost' is out Wednesday 10th June https://www.youtube.com/shorts/cRtm1ixRmS4

It gained a fair bit of traction from being a part of his Coachella set which circulated online and built up the hype for it. He's had a couple "bubbling under" hits on the dance and sales charts too so his popularity has continued to grow from there.

If they were to go that way I'd like it to be someone on the Square but new to running the place? I'm not sure who has the capability or the money (Max maybe? Ew). Failing that, Shirley to return with Lady Di the dog please.

Enters the Sales Chart at #39 today
