I'm loving this cover of Bic Runga's 'Sway' that was released on streaming on Friday:

#59 in the mids - it could be their first charting single since 'Want You Back' in 2017.

#14 in the midweeks :D

#2 in Monday's mids, and could be #1 by Friday!

Strong hold for Sleep Token! Pleasantly surprised. Good to see The Giver climbing too.

About time!

YUNGBLUD is back! 'Hello Heaven, Hello' is out tomorrow and is the first single from his fourth album. It's 9:06 long, so should be interesting. InstagramYUNGBLUD on Instagram: "Hello Heaven, Hello.

The Giver is now up to #19 on Apple Music. Sleep Token are up to #50. Jade at #76 HAIM at #152. Calvin Harris at #166.

'Everything Is Peaceful Love' has been added to the Radio 1 playlist today.

Sleep Token are even higher in the USA, #11 - crazy for a metal band from London.

Debuts at #16 on Spotify - great stuff!

Sleep Token only released at around 1pm too. It'll definitely drop, but hope it can go Top 40.

'Conceited' has been added to the Radio 1 playlist today.

The Fray's 'Look After You' is new in at #195 today - not a song that charted in the UK upon it's original release in 2005.

Out now in Australia, NZ, etc - the title is actually in all caps.

Exciting! Can't wait to listen, 6 mins long but I'm still confident it can go Top 40. We'll see... the Thursday release won't help but at least it's not any earlier! I see they're now with RCA too.
