New Releases

Welcome to your New Music Friday round-up, here to serve you the biggest music and home entertainment releases of the week.

Let's start with albums.

Synth-pop icons Pet Shop Boys return with nonetheless, their 15th studio album, this week. The record sees Neil Tenant and Chris Lowe team up with producer James Ford (Arctic Monkeys, blur, Depeche Mode, Gorillaz, Simian Mobile Disco) for the first time ever. Could it earn the pair a 19th UK Top 10 album?

Liverpool-born rockers The Zutons are back with their first full-length collection in 16 years; THE BIG DECIDER. The group's last record You Can Do Anything became their third consecutive Top 10 record on its release in 2008, peaking at Number 6.

5 Seconds of Summer's Luke Hemmings serves up his second solo offering boy; the follow-up to 2021 debut When Facing The Things We Turn Away From.

Six years in the making, Jess Glynne unleashes her third studio LP JESS this week. Preceded by the singles Silly Me, What Do You Do?, Friend Of Mine and Enough, she'll be hoping to secure a third UK chart-topper with the release.

Breakout US singer-songwriter Teddy Swims reissues his Top 40 collection I've Tried Everything But Therapy (Part 1) with four brand-new songs; including focus track Hammer To The Heart. Meanwhile, French electronic duo Justice deliver their fourth studio album Hyperdrama. Will the record earn Gaspard Augé and Xavier de Rosnay a second UK Top 40 next week?

Now, onto singles.
