He’s had 3 Top 40 albums with his jazz band, with a Top 10 last year!

Love all 3 singles so far, just the kind of 80s sound I love. Kenny G’s sax on Cry sounds especially great.

Wow - a big collab for them - ‘Nightmare Tripping’ with Nickelback is out on Friday.

I'll keep this open a little longer to hopefully get a few more votes!

+18: Tame Impala - Dracula +15: Fontaines D.C. - It's Amazing To Be Young +13: Ozzy Osbourne - Crazy Train +12: Twenty One Pilots - The Contract +11: Sam Fender - Little Bit Closer +10: Sam Barber feat.

I haven't thought about Lucia & The Best Boys in a few years now - I think they had a song that did well at BJSC here - but they're back tomorrow with 'Lonely Girl' feat. Lauren Mayberry from CHVRCHES.

There's a few more big releases over the next month thankfully - I imagine all these will contend for #1: Friday 13th February Charli xcx - Wuthering Heights Friday 20th February Mumford & Sons - Prizefighter Friday 27th February Blackpink - Deadline Bruno Mars - The Romantic Gorillaz - The Mountain (could be an interesting one!) Friday 6th March Harry Styles - Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally Friday 13th March Zach Bryan - With Heaven On Top (physicals) Friday 20th March BTS - Arirang Jane McDonald - Living The Dream ;)

I've only vaguely heard of IST IST - I presumed they were a K-pop band from the name just now!

The Sun are usually pretty good with insider entertainment news.

American hardcore band Knocked Loose are back with their first single since breakthrough album ‘You Won’t Go Before You’re Supposed To’ on Friday - ‘Hive Mind’ featuring Denzel Curry! Looking forward to it.

If Capital ever add a Geese song, I will eat my hat 😁

Good to see this recent single by Dominic Fike enter the charts at #91 this week! He’s been surprisingly consistent for years now.

Great to see this enter the Top 40 this week :)

They’re performing on Graham Norton next week!

Love this! Rob's vocals sound as great as always.

Much better than the first single:

Great to see this be his third Top 10!

The extent of the "allegations" are that he's just a bit immature. Pretty minor in comparison to quite a lot of other artists in the chart these days, and he's only 20.

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. Last week's results: Bruce Springsteen - Streets of Minneapolis [8] Noah Kahan - The Great Divide [5] Paris Paloma - Good Girl [5] Melanie Martinez - POSSESSION [3] Embrace - Road to Nowhere [2] Skindred - This Is The Sound [1] Artemas - professional heartbreaker [0] The Snuts - Summer Rain [0] Total votes: 24 Here are this week's contenders: There's so many options, and we're getting more votes than ever - so I've increased the songs to 10. Arlo Parks - Heaven The Black Keys - You Got to Lose Ladytron - A Death in London Mandy, Indiana (feat. billy woods) - Sicko! Metric - Victim Of Luck Mitski - I'll Change for You Morrissey - Notre-Dame Peter Gabriel - Put the Bucket Down Power Snatch - ASSIGNMENT sombr - Homewrecker 2026 Indie/Rock/Alt Track of the Week Winners Week 1: Ladytron - Caught in the Blink of an Eye Week 2: Mandy, Indiana - Cursive Week 3: Gorillaz (feat. Bizarrap, Kara Jackson & Anoushka Shankar) - Orange County Week 4: James Blake - Death of Love Week 5: Bruce Springsteen - Streets of Minneapolis

They all look like arenas to me, at least the UK ones and most of the US ones I can see. Haven’t checked all the dates, but I imagine if there are any stadiums they’ll be smaller ones.

Love his voice, great to have new stuff.

Final call!

Wolf Alice too!

Good to have them back! Really enjoyed the last album.
