What came out this week? Oct 12 - Oct 18, 2026
Sunday is here, so let’s have a look at some of our picks of singles and albums that came out this week (Oct 12 - Oct 18, 2026).
Ashe has released her fourth solo studio album called The Girl Of Your Dreams. I was a big fan of the two singles she released beforehand, Stop the Wedding and Funeral, so I was looking forward to the release of the whole album. We are definitely going to have a closer look in a full review!
The Dublin-based rock band Fontaines D.C. has released their fifth album named Dopamine Chamber. To support the album, they’re embarking on the European leg of their world tour, which is going to go well into 2027, in just a few days. Their collaboration with Rosalía is a stunning piece of music.
The British alt-pop singer Nieve Ella has released her first full-length album. I have been keeping up with her music since this summer, when she was a part of this year’s edition of Yungblud’s Bludfest that took place in the Czech Republic. Standing On A Pane Of Glass is an atmospheric highlight of the album.
Olivia Rodrigo has released her single expectations, featuring Chappell Roan, along with their game show music video.
The British goth-grunge Venus Grrrls have released a five-song EP, To Die as Lovers May. If you are looking for a good (all-female) witchy band, this is definitely one to watch.
Zach Bryan, the American country singer, gave us an eight-song EP, Young Manhood and Other Donatable Organs, not even a year after his massive 25-track album With Heaven On Top that came out in January. A must-listen from YMaODO is his collaboration with Lana Del Rey on the song Lies.
Not much introduction is needed for Tokio Hotel, the German band that took the world by storm more than 20 years ago. Since then, their music has gone through a huge transformation as they have grown up and started their lives in Los Angeles. Now they have come out with their newest album called Encore.
James Blunt has revealed a third single, named Circles, from his upcoming album Airplane Mode. He said about the song that this is how he wanted his music to sound and that it goes back to the inspirations of his first album, music of the early 2000s.
Let us know which of these picks is your favourite and what you were listening to this week!
