Welcome to New Music Friday, your one place to discover the biggest new song, album and DVD releases.

Let's start with this week's singles, which starts with a surprise release from Lana Del Rey herself, Henry, come on is the first single from Lana's forthcoming new album The Right Person Will Stay, due this May

We also have a team-up between two of last year's brightest breakthrough stars: British singer-songwriter Myles Smith and US country artist Shaboozey. They've joined forces for Blink Twice, which they recently debuted live at Myles' headline show in LA.

Indie legends Pulp have delighted fans by dropping Spike Island, a new single inspired by Stone Roses' seminal 1990 concert on the man-made Cheshire island. It's the first single from the band's first studio album in 24 years, More, which is due on June 6. 

Meanwhile, unbreakable girl-group Sugababes have marked the start of their UK and Ireland arena tour by dropping the atmospheric ballad Weeds. It's the second single from their as-yet-untitled ninth studio album following the slinky house banger Jungle, which arrived last month.

MARINA – the artist formerly known as Marina and the Diamonds -– continues her sixth album era by dropping the confidently titled bop Cuntissimo. It's the third track she's shared from the album following Butterly and Cupid's Girl. 

Another beloved British pop queen, Louise, also shares the third single from her upcoming album Confession, which is due on May 23. Lou recently told us the album features "a departure in sound" from her previous releases and will underscore the fact she is "not a heritage act". 

Other new singles include Don't Forget You Love Me, the debut solo single from 5 Seconds of Summer star Calum Hood, and Smash It Like Belushi, a new single from Green Day's upcoming deluxe edition of their Saviors album. Saviors - the band's 14th studio set – debuted at Number 1 in January 2024.

Meanwhile, multi-Mercury Prize and BRIT Award nominee Loyle Carner returns with two new tracks, all i need and in my mind. They're the South London artist's first new solo offerings since his 2022 album Hugo, which peaked at Number 3 on the Official Albums Chart.

Now, onto this week's albums. Bon Iver – the indie-folk project led by Justin Vernon – are back with fifth studio album Sable, Fable. The project's third album, 2016's 22 A Million, is their highest-charting to date with an Official Charts peak of Number 2. Can they go one better this time out?

The Driver Era – aka brothers Rocky and Ross Lynch – are back with their fourth studio album Obsession, while influential Norwegian duo Röyksopp are dropping their 10th, True Electric. The duo's highest-charting album to date, their 2002 debut Melody AM, peaked at Number 9. They'll be hoping for a return visit to the Top Ten this time next week.

Ariana Grande's Number 1 album eternal sunshine rebounded to Number 3 on last week's Official Albums Chart thanks to a deluxe edition featuring six additional tracks. Today brings a new variant – eternal sunshine deluxe: brighter days ahead (a cappella version) – that could help the album to extend its chart run.
