Nickelback would probably fit if they wanted to support them tbh, but yeah doesn't look like they're interested!

‘Write Me A Letter’ is produced by Matty & George from The 1975, you can definitely hear it! Matty has backing vocals too.

This was out a few weeks ago on Dexys’ new album - probably the first new relatively mainstream Christmas song of the year?

'Make Me Love You' is out today:

Final call for votes!

Here it is - quite different from the first single!

bôa's song has quite an interesting story. They're a 90s British band who currently have 13m+ monthly listeners! - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bôa I'd never heard of them or the song until now though. They released their first album in 11 years earlier this year, which seems to have decent streaming numbers too.

Nice - crazy to think it's been nearly 10 years since their last proper studio album!

Last day to vote!

First album since 2021 is out on 19th March!

'Where The Goth Girls At?' is out today:

More votes please!

A new Noah Kahan song is on the way from the new Hunger Games movie!

It's not a particularly original title for theatrical-themed deluxe editions. Niall Horan had 'The Show: The Encore' before Jade. And I imagine there's probably some others.

New single ‘Silencio’ is out on Friday.

It’s a digital exclusive, so not available on streaming yet.

Here it is!

DragonForce are back with with 2 new vocalists and a new self-titled album! 'DragonForce' is out on 19th March. 'Hunger of the Beast' is on YouTube now, on streaming from Thursday.

Yeah it is, they were recorded at the same time.
