I like it... don't think it sounds like a huge hit though.

Last day to vote!

Piranha released yesterday:

More votes please!

I imagine Sleep Token's singles had people playing them multiple times, they're a dedicated bunch. Whereas now all the listens will be spread out across the album. Still incredibly impressive though - they'd never come close to the singles chart before this year!

Up to #15 this week! The slightly better of his two charting singles I think, reminds me a little of The Strokes.

Argh, knew there was something I'd missed! Elbow are definitely more relevant here than Parkway, I've added them in.

Very impressive how long Fontaines' Starburster & Favourite have hung around in the Spotify chart now - future indie classics even if they don't have high chart peaks for sure.
