Adam Levine confirmed on The Tonight Show that a new Maroon 5 song will release by the end of the month, with a new album this summer.

They're back! New single 'othello' is out tomorrow. https://www.instagram.com/p/DIJrBcQorBw/?hl=en

Saved this week: BigXthaPlug (feat. Bailey Zimmerman) - All The Way Brothers Osborne - Finish This Drink Country Night & Tyler Cameron - Florida Boy Blues Ed Sheeran - Azizam Evan Homer & Cameron Whitcomb - My Expense HAIM - Everybody's trying to figure me out Lainey Wilson - Bell Bottoms Up Skrillex & Wuki - BIGGY BAP Volbeat - In the Barn of the Wet Leg - catch these fists

I see folk band Amble have 9 songs in the Spotify Ireland Top 200 today! Would be great to see them breakthrough in the UK too. I noticed one of their songs was in the UK viral chart recently.

Wet Leg HAIM Sleep Token Djo BABYMETAL The Marias The Hives Rachel Chinouriri I really like them all though tbh!

Really enjoying the new single, always enjoy this Sheryl Crow-ish soft Americana from them.

It is what it is really though, I don't think a song like this is ever going to be consumed much outside of the band's fanbase.

Seems suspect to me - there's been no rise in the song's last.fm stats + its not even in her top 10 most popular currently on Spotify.

Incredible for Sleep Token - it'll be interesting to see their album's opening sales next month.

Rudimental/Khalid are pretty high on Apple's Today's Hits - that's usually the explanation if something is randomly higher on that chart!

#2 on Spotify UK today! Crazy stuff.

Only reached #57 but is certified Gold: Not3s - Addison Lee

Up to #35 today!

Up to #37 this week!

I think this is even better than the first single:

Added to the Radio 1 playlist today!

Never mind, it is a midnight release!

Final day to vote!

Out at 5am tomorrow - strange seeing a UK band go for a US midnight release! Makes sense though, they're huge worldwide now.
