Available for 152 days

British band Pulp were one of the leaders in the Britpop music movement of the 1990s with anthems such as Common People and Disco 2000. It has been 24 years since their latest album but they are back and lead singer Jarvis Cocker will be telling us why now is the right time to return. Also we hear from UK rap star Little Simz who has returned with her sixth album. There is also music from the latest albums by Addison Rae, Volbeat and Marina, while in the singles chart we have new songs by Ed Sheeran, Sabrina Carpenter and producer MK. We feature all of the top five most popular songs in the UK and find out if Alex Warren can extend his run at the top of the singles chart to 13 weeks with the song Ordinary.
