Have you looked at the #1 albums in the last 10 years? Loads of artists without hit singles. It’s all about having a strong fanbase.

+5: Homewrecker +4: Rein Me In +3: I Just Might +2: iloveitiloveitiloveit +1: DtMF -1: Man I Need -2: Lush Life -3: So Easy -4: Stateside -5: Opalite

I expect their next album will be very big.

HUNTR/X were outside because their performance was pre-recorded earlier in the week.

Lola Young was in both the Alternative/Rock and Pop categories.

21 please!

No More Tears was a bit of a surprising choice, surprised they didn’t do a Crazy Train/Sabbath medley.

Not a fan of this :( It does feel like they have more performers than usual though - could be wrong though?

The two Lifetime Achievement etc awards dragged a little - not sure they needed 3 with Ozzy too later.

Fantastic for Geese!

Voting closed a couple of weeks ago, before it reached #1.

Great result for TOP!

Dracula will pick up streams for a long time I imagine, a future Platinum single.

Each week, 10 new releases are selected to go head to head, with one weekly winner which will then go up against future weekly winners later in the year at the end of each quarter of the year, and then again at the end of the year to determine the ultimate winner of 2026.

Now on streaming platforms as a standalone single with 'White Keys'.

I keep hearing the Thomas the Tank Engine theme in this, I think it’s the piano.

Ozzy Osbourne has won the Lifetime Achievement Award. Robbie Williams and members of Ozzy’s live band will perform a tribute to him.

Final chance to vote!

Last day to vote!

beabadoobee is back! New music soon: https://www.instagram.com/p/DVMLtwVCMOC/

Yeah, it is a little strange! They have a pretty strong fanbase in Coventry and have a fair amount of bundles on their website. I wonder if they've been disallowed for some reason? The only potential thing I can find is this competition: https://www.instagram.com/p/DU-ldWDiLo7/

5th biggest album debut on Spotify UK over the weekend: https://www.instagram.com/p/DVOoVfJDLN6

'DISNEY PRINCESS' is out now:

Two very solid singles so far:

Yeah I was 50/50 tbh. Her label have tagged it under ‘Alternative’ on Apple Music though and it’s on indie pop Spotify playlists, and this is probably the poppiest song she’s released to date. I suppose we’ll see what sort of sound she goes with next.
