Franz Ferdinand and Ringo Starr

Franz Ferdinand front man Alex Kapranos on their new album, Ringo Starr on his latest release and the UK charts featuring Lambrini Girls, Chappell Roan and Jade.

It has been seven years since the band Franz Ferdinand have released a new album, but finally after that long gap they are back with a new set of songs. We hear from the band's front man Alex Kapranos about their return.

Also, Ringo Starr is back with a brand new country and western inspired album. It is his first trip back to the genre since he launched his solo career back in the early 1970s with an album recorded in Nashville.

We feature music from the debut by Lambrini Girls, plus new hit songs from Chappell Roan and former Little Mix star Jade.

Plus, can anyone break Gracie Abrams grip on the top of the singles chart?
