Two new songs from Lucy Dacus are out today!

'milk of the madonna' is out tomorrow.

They performed it on The One Show a few nights ago, and Jon was on BBC Breakfast this morning. Streams are minimal, but nice for it to get a few downloads I suppose.

'Ordinary Creature' released today: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QU6Uq5ZLuNQ

There's a couple of collabs on the album: Dean Lewis on 'Loved You Better' and Switchfoot on the title track!

'Vampire Bat' is out tomorrow!

Here it is! A little different, nice to hear Joel on lead vocals: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zKVOPB7e5N8

Cool to see the Pierce The Veil song on the Bubbling Under Chart. I knew it was going viral, but had no idea it was close to charting!

Not many from the Friday just gone: The Beaches - Ultimate Saweetie & TWICE - superstars Toby Keith - Should've Been A Cowboy (VAVO Remix)

As well as a song on David Byrne's upcoming album, this pairing has another song out later this year with 'Open the Door' from the soundtrack of 'The Twits'! The film is out on 16th October, so expect the song before then. Byrne has written & produced three other songs for the soundtrack that will be performed by the cast.

'White Horses' is out tomorrow at 5pm BST.

Out on Friday. https://www.instagram.com/marshmello/reel/DM8k2gfhqi2/

'Blood Magick (It's a Ritual)' premieres on the Radio 1 Rock Show later today.

Out on Friday! Looking forward to it. https://www.instagram.com/zachlanebryan/p/DM3isElxant/?hl=en

I don't think it's been a classic year for them, but mine are: Confidence Man & JADE - Gossip Rihanna - Friend Of Mine Steve Aoki (feat. Tyler Hubbard) - Forget Tonight Tame Impala - End Of Summer

New in at #87 on Friday, a shame it's not much higher!

I think they’ve stopped with Foo Fighters now, I don’t think anything from their 2023 album was playlisted.

I’m not sure I’d consider Wheatus nu-metal!

I’d still love to know why Capital playlisted a random Just A Girl cover about a year ago which hard hardly any streams!

New in at #31 - his fourth Top 40 hit!

'd£aler' is new in at #34 today.

I'd completely missed that The Midnight are back with a new album! 'Syndicate' is out on 3rd October, and they've released a few singles from it including 'Shadowverse' - out today:

The Good Neighbour add is a little surprising for Radio X - they don't usually go for that indie pop sound. They did playlist 'Home' I suppose though.
