The lead single is pretty high up on Spotify’s main Christmas playlist, so I expect they’ll get their first charting single since 2014!

Spotify have released their Christmas exclusive covers for the year: Fall Out Boy - It Feels Like Christmas Jordan Davis - O Come All Ye Faithful Poppy - Last Christmas Ravyn Lenae - O Holy Night Sofia Camara - Christmas Lights

The Enemy's first new music in 10 years is out on 31st October. https://www.instagram.com/p/DPvf77vCMxw/

lostprophets’ Last Train Home has entered the Spotify UK viral chart today. Not the main chart, but I was wondering if some chart appearance would happen 😬

A #1 album would also now rule him out.

Out on Friday! Elton is just on piano.

Out on Friday I believe - it's a remix of a song from Thomas Rhett's recent album. Niall sounds pretty good in country!

As far as I can see, they're only playing Aerosmith/Yungblud once a day in the evening - so it's probably just an obligation.

The new version of 'Back In The Saddle' is next to be released: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NWiQZHB51RU

It’s been suggested that Yungblud may play at the Jingle Bell Ball - although that’s still a surprising song of his to playlist.

Ah that's not a bad shout actually. Still strange it's the Aerosmith collab though.

That's a shame - could make it in next week though.
