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:

Apple's slow to update these days - he's #1 on Today's Top Hits so will definitely be high there soon.

'Little Bit Closer' has been added to the Radio 1 playlist today.

Added to the Radio 1 playlist today!

Bad Habits debuted at #2 on Spotify UK in 2021 with 573,029 streams.

The title track is out 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.

Fairly generic pop rock really:

Charlie Simpson of Busted & Fightstar is apparently launching new band President at Download Festival this year, former Bring Me The Horizon member Jordan Fish also seems to be involved. Colour me intrigued! They have a lot of social media hype as well, I think Sleep Token have done wonders for the genre.

Surprised you missed their last album - it was their highest charting yet at #2 in 2023!

The Hives are back! Just two years after comeback album 'The Death of Randy Fitzsimmons', they're back with 'The Hives Forever Forever The Hives' on 29th August. New single 'Enough Is Enough' released on Tuesday:

Big collab out Friday!

Wet Leg - catch these fists

Here it is! They're also now officially a five-piece band, with this single co-written by Rhian & bassist Ellis. Second album 'moisturizer' is out on 11th July.
