Back to his pop-punk sound, it looks like mgk will return to the UK Top 40 this week with 'cliché' - it's at #37 in the midweek chart.

+5: Undressed +4: Carry You Home +3: Azizam +2: Ordinary +1: Beautiful Things -1: Blessings -2: Pink Pony Club -3: Love Me Not -4: Family Matters -5: Show Me Love

'Bloom Baby Bloom' charted at #65 on Friday - their highest charting single to date.

For what it's worth, Amble are actually a band!

mgk’s Cliche is new in on the apple chart now at #81.

Shame to see Renee Rapp drop out on Spotify! Good holds for Alex Warren + MGK though. The latter is still climbing on the Apple Music alternative chart, so seems to have some traction.

Assume you're referring to his gig at the 220-cap Rust, Denmark - that was a surprise "pop-up" show. The last time he actually played as part of a tour seems to be 2022, with a 1500 capacity. Still a big jump though of course.

It's growing on me...

Great to have this in the Top 10 over the last few weeks.

Good to see Renee climbing. One new entry on Spotify today: 180: Levi Heron - The Glen - Levi Heron Edit It's a remix of a song by folk band Beluga Lagoon which recently went viral on TikTok, they're not credited on this version though.

This week: Alex Warren & Jelly Roll - Bloodline Dance Gavin Dance - All the Way Down Joe Jonas - Honey Blonde mgk - cliche Molly Grace - Heaven Sent Renee Rapp - Leave Me Alone Wednesday - Elderberry Wine

Single 2 is out today featuring pop-punk band Waterparks:

It does indeed, she's credited as a co-writer with Ashcroft.

I'm not sure what the Radio X audience will think of Lover!

They're all just folk-pop songs, the sound's been around for decades.

Here it is!

Richard Ashcroft has released his first original single since 2018 with 'Lover' today - and it's a pretty strange single choice! It's quite catchy, but really weirdly produced. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a0jxbliRYg0

'Dis-Graceland 463-465 Bury New Road' is out today.

Second single 'Got to Have Love' is out now! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c_xnLmRz6XM

Last chance to vote!

New single 'A Little Love' is out on 11th June! It will have its live debut at Big Weekend tomorrow.

Biffy are back! Very excited for new music from them. https://www.instagram.com/p/DJ7Hc2UoWKR/

Pretty good on first listen!
