New album out this summer! Hope it's as good as the last one. The last one had very impressive streaming numbers too - 'The Adults Are Talking' is their 2nd most streamed song on Spotify and is on course to overtake 'Last Night' eventually!

This has been bubbling outside the Top 40 for a while now, hopefully it can enter soon!

PSY was the first K-Pop act to perform at the Summertime Ball in 2013!

Great to see this Top 10 now!

This from Canterbury band The Long Faces is at #62 this week - sounds pretty good!

Best Coast's other member Bobb Bruno plays guitar on 'Go Away', so I guess that's why! That's according to Weezerpedia, presumably it's from the album's linear notes or something.

First single from their new album is out on 10th April!

I keep forgetting it's Friday today!

Each week, 10 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 2026. Last week's results: Jungle - Carry On [4] Paul McCartney - Days We Left Behind [3] Florence Road - Hanging Out To Dry [2] Pulp - Marrying For Love [2] DON BROCO (feat. Sam Carter) - True Believers [1] PRESIDENT - Mercy [1] The Snuts - Motherlands [1] Suki Waterhouse - Back in Love [1] Against The Current - Heavenly [0] Melanie Martinez - UNCANNY VALLEY [0] Total votes: 15 Here are this week's contenders: Arlo Parks - Beams Bleachers - the van Dermot Kennedy - Turnstile Dry Cleaning - Sliced by a Fingernail Jack White - G.O.D.

Their best non-soundtrack song in quite some time I'd say! Nice that it's 4 mins too.

Could be something to do with the clocks changing too perhaps?

Final call!

Apologies for the non-voting - I completely missed that it was ending yesterday.

He was in Euphoria, but his first hit '3 Nights' (it reached #3 in 2019) just pre-dates that. His recent hits aren't connected to the show either, he's just always had a lot of buzz and these two songs have gone viral on TikTok.

#12. Lorde - What Was That (131 points) #11. Florence + The Machine - Everybody Scream (143 points) So the Top 10 are: Ethel Cain - F*ck Me Eyes Ethel Cain - Nettles Fontaines D.C. - It's Amazing To Be Young Lana Del Rey - Henry, come on ROSALÍA (feat. Björk & Yves Tumor) - Berghain Tame Impala - Dracula Tame Impala - End Of Summer Sleep Token - Emergence Wolf Alice - Bloom Baby Bloom Wolf Alice - The Sofa

I forgot Central Cee even released an EP this week - it feels like it’s been a while since he had any buzz around him.

The Mirror are claiming that it 'relates to a historic relationship dating back more than 10 years'.
