Unlike Tame Impala, Enter Shikari is 4 guys ;)

It was a surprise release on Friday. There's some physicals, but I guess announcing it like that with no buildup or lead single will always slow sales.

The album is out on 10th July!

New single 'We Were Only Young' is out on 15th April.

I see they have a whole Top 500 this year too!

To be fair, I don’t think she actually did perform that song. Capital posted her setlist here - https://www.capitalfm.com/news/music/mariah-carey-summertime-ball-setlist-songs/ I can’t see any videos of it either, which there surely would be.

Tame Impala have, Jack?

Great to see this enter the Top 10!

As a longtime supporter of Dominic Fike, so great to finally get a couple more actual chart smashes after 3 Nights.

I don't think it's even that tbh, I think a lot of people just don't care. Look at the likes of d4vd and YNW Melly still both with 20/10m+ monthly listeners on Spotify, just off the top of my head!

Bring Me The Horizon have been teasing a re-recording of their debut album 'Count Your Blessings' for a while now, and it looks like it's finally on its way! Billboards related to lead single 'Pray for Plagues' have popped up in Manchester, so I guess that song will be out soon.

A very strong return! New album 'Sanctuary' is out on 5th June. Also nice to see last year's 'Afterlife' has 80m streams on Spotify and is one of their most popular songs! I know it's because it was in an anime, but pretty cool nonetheless.

The whole album is out today!

A very pleasant surprise!

I also think this will do pretty well, I’ve seen it quite a lot on my feeds.

'Of All People' is out tomorrow.

Good to see 'Boston' enter - hopefully another country hit!
