Aside from DJs, I think Thirty Seconds To Mars are the oldest artists to be playlisted with their most recent era - 53 & 51 in 2023.

Each week, 8 new releases are selected to go head to head, with one weekly winner which will then go up against future weekly winners later in the year at the end of each quarter of the year, and then again at the end of the year to determine the ultimate winner of 2025. Last week's results: Sam Fender (feat. Elton John) - Talk to You [5] The Maccabees - Koya [3] The Last Dinner Party - Count The Ways [2] Tame Impala - My Old Ways [2] Grimes - Artificial Angels [1] HAIM - The story of us [0] Of Monsters and Men - Tuna in a Can [0] South Arcade - Drive Myself Home [0] Tiebreak results: Of Monsters and Men - Fruit Bat [7] Oklou & FKA twigs - viscus [5] N/A [1] Total Votes: 13 Here are this week's contenders: Bad Omens - Dying To Love Foo Fighters - Asking For A Friend Hayley Williams - Good Ol' Days Mumford & Sons & Hozier - Rubber Band Man The Neighbourhood - Private Poppy - Unravel Sports Team - Medium Machine The Wombats - X-Rated 2025 Indie/Rock/Alt Track of the Week Winners Week 1: N/A Week 2: Ethel Cain – Amber Waves Week 3: Mumford & Sons – Rushmere Week 4: Nova Twins – Monsters Week 5: SOFIA ISELLA – Dog's Dinner Week 6: Oklou – blade bird Week 7: Sam Fender – Remember My Name Week 8: Fontaines D.C. – It's Amazing To Be Young Week 9: Doves - A Drop In The Ocean Week 10: Black Country, New Road – Happy Birthday Week 11: Sleep Token – Emergence Week 12: SOFT PLAY (feat.

To be fair, I am a little surprised there isn't even a lyric video/visualiser - there's nothing on YouTube aside from the auto-upload I posted.

I have the same issue with most Instagram links not embedding.

A 'Desert Road' version of 'My Only Angel' is out today - feat. Steve Martin (yes, that one!) on banjo:

Classic Wombats - much better than the last single.

Surprised how much I like this:

Here it is!

Back with a banger! Much better than the last single.

After playing it live this year, Pale Waves are releasing a cover of The Cranberries’ Zombie on 28th October! https://www.instagram.com/p/DQKIxh1jHN-

Surprised there isn't a thread yet! Westlife are releasing new single 'Chariot' tomorrow.

Last day to vote!

Sleaford Mods are back with 13th album 'The Demise of Planet X' on 16th January! Lead single 'Megaton' released a few weeks ago, and 'The Good Life' feat. Game of Thrones actress Gwendoline Christie and indie duo BIG SPECIAL released yesterday. Tracklist: The Good Life (feat. Gwendoline Christie & BIG SPECIAL) Double Diamond Elitist G.O.A.T. (feat. Aldous Harding) Megaton No Touch (feat. Sue Tompkins) Bad Santa The Demise of Planet X Don Draper Gina Was Shoving the Images Flood the Zone (feat. Liam Bailey) Kill List (feat. Snowy) The Unwrap

New single releasing at 3pm BST tomorrow! https://www.instagram.com/foofighters/reel/DQHSX-QiYTO/

I’ve seen it a lot on TikTok - not for positive reasons though.

MGK is celebrating 5 years of this album with several unreleased songs releasing - first up is 'no cellphones in rehab':

Being on TLC, I wouldn't be surprised if it's entirely up and coming comedians. Perhaps with someone like Dara as host to hook people in.

'Sympathy Magic' is out on Monday, ahead of the album next Friday.

They will be performing together on The Graham Norton Show next Friday!

More votes please :)

A slight rebound for Sam/Elton, back up to 109 today.

Back with new music fairly quickly - 'Medium Machine' is out on Thursday. https://www.instagram.com/p/DQB3ScOiEJl/?hl=en

+5: 12 to 12 +4: So Easy (To Fall In Love) +3: Elizabeth Taylor +2: The Fate of Ophelia +1: Man I Need -1: Opelite -2: Golden -3: Nice To Each Other -4: Your Idol -5: Where Is My Husband

I wasn’t expecting them to, it’s clearly aimed at the Indian market.

At least on Spotify, it’s credited as Fred again/Skepta/PlaqueBoyMax
