Last day to vote!

New album 'Your Favorite Toy' is out on 24th April - the title track is out now. Nice to have something a little different from them - almost feels a bit indie/garage rock-inspired to me.

LOVE this performance - the song is definitely my favourite from the album so far:

Twenty One Pilots’ new single is new in at #155 on Apple.

U2 have released their first collection of new music since 2017! Haven’t listened yet, but seems to have been received well.

+5: Rein Me In +4: I Just Might +3: DtMF +2: Man I Need +1: So Easy -1: Lush Life -2: Opalite -3: Stateside -4: Where is My Husband? -5: Raindance

Beck’s confirmed it’s a cover on Instagram.

This is a nice surprise! Grian from Fontaines D.C. has released ‘Puppet’ from the Peaky Blinders movie soundtrack. The other two credited artists are the film’s composers.

Just debuted on mgk’s European tour. I imagine it’ll get a lot of curiosity, it’ll be interesting to see how it does.

EP 'Idols II' is out on Friday! It was teased as a full album, so the length is a little disappointing - glad to have new music from him though. Tracklist: I Need You (To Make The World Seem Fine) The Postman Zombie (feat. The Smashing Pumpkins) Time War Part II Blueberry Hill Suburban Requiem A preview of 'Suburban Requiem' is on his socials. Physicals for both 'Idols II' & 'Idols (Complete)' are out on 15th May.

It seems to have had a bit of an uplift recently - I hear about it more than ever now. Lots of Americans seem to like the UK version too, and (specifically the UK version) was referenced in Abbott Elementary recently!

Gary the Penguin!

Bleachers for me this week.

Suppose I'd better vote myself! I'll close this on Friday. +20: Tame Impala - Dracula +19: Fontaines D.C. - It’s Amazing To Be Young +18: Wolf Alice - The Sofa +17: Tame Impala - End Of Summer +16: Sam Fender ft.

Huh, I had no idea this was so big on TikTok! Hopefully it’ll be a hit for them.

A cover of The Postal Service's 'Such Great Heights' from the same soundtrack is out now:

‘My Maker’ is out on Wednesday.

From the same 2018 EP as ‘3 Nights’, Dominic Fike’s ‘Babydoll’ entered the UK Top 40 last week, and it seems like it will continue climbing. I’ve always liked this one, hopefully it and ‘White Keys’ will go higher in the coming weeks.

The Last Dinner Party’s ‘Let’s Do It Again!’ released yesterday:
