New Releases

Sam Smith is about to unleash his "inner dancing queen" with new single How Do You Sleep?.

The song is the follow-up to his Number 3-peaking hit Dancing With A Stranger, with Sam going as far to say he has "never been this excited for a release". How Do You Sleep? sees Sam unite with mega hitmakers Max Martin & Savan Kotecha for the first time.

Also on the singles front, Charli XCX & Christine and the Queens team up for Gone, Alec Benjamin returns with Jesus in LA, the successor to his first Top 40 single Let Me Down Slowly, and Michael Kiwanuka & Tom Misch join forces for Money.

There are also new tracks out this week from the likes of The Chainsmokers, Hayley Kiyoko, Martin Garrix, Miranda Lambert and Shura.
