Baker Boy

Ruby Fields

The Grogans

X CLUB.

WILSN

Mel Blue

Gold Fang

A sizeable pack came in third this week, with Baker Boy and Ruby Fields the least surprising to make an appearance. The Grogans continue their rapid rise, with the release of their album triggering another strong performance, while X CLUB also performed well. It was also great to see WILSN, Mel Blue, and Gold Fang keeping up the pace with some more established names too.
