https://www.billboard.com/music/rb-hip-hop/no-rap-songs-hot-100-top-40-first-time-since-1990-1236100625/ Quite an interesting article - and very surprising! It's interesting that aside from a couple of big hitters, it's similarly declined in both the UK & US over the last few years. The US scene definitely has felt very stale over the last few years, it feels like the big names from the 2015-18 trap wave are still the ones at the top.

Wow! New album 'Prizefighter' is out on 13th Feb. Co-produced by Aaron Dessner Tracklist: Here (with Chris Stapleton) Rubber Band Man (with Hozier) The Banjo Song Run Together Conversation With My Son (Gangsters & Angels) Alleycat Prizefighter Begin Again Icarus (with Gigi Perez) Stay Badlands (with Gracie Abrams) Shadow Of A Man I'll Tell You Everything Clover

New single out on 5th November! I imagine a new album will release next year. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DQZN-BPjMgI/

I really liked the celeb specials they had a few years ago, I hope this lives up to them.

Good to see the CBeebies show mentioned again too. I don’t have much interest in it as a show, but am curious as to what characters/era(s) it will focus on. I can see several Doctors being featured.

Looks like a deluxe is on the way - ‘Hole In The Ground’ is out later today.

'A Point Too Hard To Make' is out now:

Kinda hoping it's a last hurrah for RTD, one more special feat. Billie Piper before we can move onto a new Doctor/showrunner.

Out now - interesting that they've left Dirty Hit and are now independent.

More votes please!

It didn’t stop Biffy Clyro covering it in the Live Lounge though ;)

I don’t think it’s related to Halloween. Looking at last.fm, it had a big rise in August and has been fairly steady since. Thanks to TikTok, according to the comments.

#71 in the chart update.

Great to see The Clause finally release a debut album, 6 years after they signed to Sony and were dropped without releasing a single song! They were very briefly the Next Big Indie Band, but alas.
