Christmas Day tomorrow, so I’ll do the final reminder to vote now! Very close this week…

New album out next year, he’s teasing that something will release on 9th Jan which I’m guessing is the lead single.

It’s unlikely I’d say - Jax Jones is far past his hitmaking days unfortunately!

Quarter Three: The Results Qualifiers: Wolf Alice - The Sofa [8] Florence + The Machine - Everybody Scream [6] Tame Impala - Dracula [6] Tame Impala - End Of Summer [5] Ethel Cain - F*ck Me Eyes [4] 2025 Indie Track of the Year Contenders: Ethel Cain - Amber Waves Ethel Cain - Nettles Fontaines D.C. - It's Amazing To Be Young Lana Del Rey - Henry, come on Linkin Park - Up From The Bottom Lorde - What Was That Oklou - blade bird Pulp - Got to Have Love Sleep Token - Emergence Wolf Alice - Bloom Baby Bloom Wolf Alice - The Sofa Florence + The Machine - Everybody Scream Tame Impala - Dracula Tame Impala - End Of Summer Ethel Cain - F*ck Me Eyes

I don't think we've ever had the votes so spread out!

I think we have the "when does Christmas end" debate on these threads every year 😅

If it releases on streaming platforms - EsDeeKid feat. Timothée Chalamet!

Paul's more famous in the US than Slade, so appears on more of the big playlists/higher on them.

'No Touch' feat. Sue Tompkins, formerly of Life Without Buildings is out today!:

It’s interesting Gwen Stefani’s Amazon song has charted in the US this year. So Alexa does have some impact over there, but it’s unsurprising they’re pushing Gwen more than Kylie there.

Second single ‘You Want The Truth’ is out now:
