The Damned and Louis Tomlinson
The latest UK music charts with guests The Damned and Louis Tomlinson.
The Damned were pioneers of UK Punk, setting the standard for all who followed. Their latest covers album is a tribute to guitarist Brian James, who passed away in March 2025, and this week we caught up with the rest of the band to find out all about it and the influence Brian had on them all.
We also hear from former One Direction star Louis Tomlinson who is back with his third solo album.
Plus, there's music from Callum Beattie and Mika.
In the singles chart Arctic Monkeys and Harry Styles are looking high new entries and we find out if Dave and Tems can make it two weeks at the top with Raindance.
