Radiohead Sees Two Career-Defining Songs Reach New Peaks

Radiohead's 'Let Down' hits a new peak on the Hot Rock Songs chart at No. 12, while 'Creep' climbs ... More to an all-time high of No. 47 on the Billboard Global 200.

(Photo by) Radiohead hasn't released a new album in almost a decade, as the group last promoted a full-length in 2016 with A Moon Shaped Pool. In the years since, the rock band has only delivered a handful of tunes from a few retrospective projects. Despite a relative quiet that has now lasted quite a long time, Radiohead is enjoying a particularly exciting period on the Billboard charts as one of its decades-old tracks goes viral. The quick success of that semi-obscure cut is helping one of the band's most famous tunes continue to find a global audience. Only two Radiohead songs appear on the Billboard charts this week, but both manage to hit a new high point on one tally apiece — though they achieve that feat on different rankings. Radiohead Inches Toward a New Top 10 Hit Within the past few weeks, "Let Down" has become a surprise hit for the band. After finding fans on TikTok, its viral success on the app translated to sales on iTunes and streams on platforms like Spotify and Apple Music. This week, "Let Down" inches closer to becoming a top 10 hit on the Hot Rock Songs chart, rising from No. 14 to No. 12. That lift marks a new peak for the tune on the list of the most consumed rock tracks in America. 'Let Down' Holds at its All-Time Peak At the same time, "Let Down" holds steady at its all-time high on both the Hot Rock & Alternative Songs and Hot Alternative Songs tallies. Radiohead's new smash also reenters the Billboard Global 200 at No. 191 — just one space beneath its previously-established highest position. 'Creep' Also Hits Rocks Higher Than Ever As "Let Down" continues to climb, "Creep" — widely regarded as Radiohead's most famous track — is growing internationally. This week, "Creep" pushes to No. 47 on the Billboard Global 200, setting a new top placement. The song became Radiohead's first hit on that global roster years ago, and is the band's highest-rising tune yet. Whenever the track climbs, the outfit hits a new career high as well. 'Creep' Remains a Top 10 Smash While "Creep" climbs on the Billboard Global 200, it declines on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S., which ranks the most consumed songs throughout the world with American sales and streaming data excluded. "Creep" does perform well on the only two U.S.-based rankings where it appears, sitting at No. 7 on the Alternative Streaming Songs tally and No. 9 on the Rock Streaming Songs chart, rising slightly on both lists.

Radiohead Scores Its First New Hit Song In Almost A Decade

Radiohead's 'Let Down' debuts at No. 85 on the Official Singles chart, marking the band's first U.K. ... More hit in nearly a decade. NEW YORK, NY - MARCH, 1993: (L-R) Bassist Colin Greenwood, lead singer/pianist Thom Yorke, drummer Phil Selway, guitarist Jonny Greenwood and singer/guitarist Ed O'Brien of the British rock group Radiohead, play cards during a portrait session circa March, 1993 in New York, New York. (Photo by) Radiohead hasn't released a new album in almost 10 years, and fans have been waiting patiently since the May 2016 arrival of A Moon Shaped Pool. The musicians who comprise the alternative act have largely been focused on side projects and solo efforts in the years since. While the group may be dormant when it comes to releasing new music, there's still plenty of hidden gems in Radiohead's discography for the public to discover. The rock band collects a new hit in its home country this week with a decades-old tune, one which has recently risen to the surface and finally earned a moment to shine. Radiohead's song "Let Down" debuts on the Official Singles chart this week. The cut opens at No. 85 on the list of the most consumed tracks in the U.K. As it launches, the cut becomes the group's twenty-fourth placement on the competitive tally. "Let Down" is Radiohead's first new win on the Official Singles chart in nearly a decade. The last time the group earned a placement on the roster was in May 2016, when both "Burn the Witch" and "Daydreaming" opened at Nos. 64 and 74, respectively just one week apart from one another. "Let Down" debuted on the Official Streaming chart in the U.K. last week, becoming one of the 100 most streamed tracks in the country for the very first time. In just its second frame on that tally, it bolts more than 20 spaces — from No. 77 to No. 56 — reaching a new all-time peak. "Let Down" is Radiohead's second career hit on the Official Streaming chart. It currently sits just four spaces behind the group's all-time best showing on that list — No. 52, which "Creep" has reached in the past. Speaking of "Creep," all the excitement surrounding "Let Down's" surge helps that smash, which may be regarded as Radiohead's most popular track, return to the Official Singles chart at No. 94. At the same time, it pushes north on the Official Streaming list to No. 58, coming in just a few spots behind its No. 52 peak. "Let Down" was originally released as a promotional single from Radiohead's album OK Computer in September 1997, but at the time, it wasn't a major chart success. Recently, "Let Down" has been going viral online, which has turned it into a proper chart win in the U.K. — a little less than 30 years after Radiohead first shared it with the world.

Hull KR fan to miss Challenge Cup final due to wedding clash

Two Hull Kingston Rovers' fans said they were "really upset" they would miss the Challenge Cup final as they are getting married on the same day. Wendy Burdick and Colin Greenwood, from Hull, booked their wedding for the first Saturday in June, not realising it would be the day Rovers could win the cup for the first time in 45 years. Hull KR face Warrington Wolves at Wembley on said: "We were both at the semi-final and I was having mixed feelings thinking I do want them to win but if they don't win it makes life easier for us." "Colin was stood there and he looked a bit dazed after it. He was sad because he couldn't go," she added. Wendy said she was "really upset" after the semi-final because her brother - who is a Hull KR supporter - would be missing the all-important match too."It's not fair on him because he's 72 and, if he wants to go, it's not fair holding him back," she when Wendy rang her brother to tell him he could miss their wedding and go to the game, he replied: "My sister means more to be than rugby.""That made me cry," Wendy bride and groom are getting married at 13:00 BST in Coniston, east of Hull, and are hoping to have their speeches finished by 15:00 when the game is due to start."If people want to watch it, I said that they can have their phones in front of them on silent and let us know when Rovers score," Wendy will be Hull KR's second Challenge Cup final in three seasons after they lost to Leigh Leopards two years ago. If they win on Saturday, it will be the second time they have won the competition, the first being in 1980 against city rivals Hull said: "We'll be over the moon. It will be a proper party that night."

Radiohead appear to confirm first tour in years after ticket donation sparks rumors

Rumors of the first Radiohead tour in seven years are heating up after it was revealed several tickets to a 'Radiohead concert of your choice' were recently donated to a charity auction by the band's management. The acclaimed British rock band last toured in 2018, and last released new music with their ninth album A Moon Shaped Pool in 2016. Resident Advisor reports that four Radiohead tickets to an upcoming tour were donated to a Los Angeles fire relief auction run by Palisades High School, apparently by the band's management. The auction listing noted that the highest bidder can select their preferred city and date 'based on the band's tour schedule.' The publication went on to claim that a source close to the group has confirmed the band have placed holds at venues in a number of European cities for a run of residency gigs this autumn. Earlier this week, Pitchfork reported that the band's five members — singer Thom Yorke, guitarist Jonny Greenwood, bassist Colin Greenwood, guitarist Ed O'Brien and drummer Philip Selway — have recently formed a new business as a limited liability partnership, RHEUK25 LLP. Similar business partnerships have been formed by the band in the past, as they operate outside of the record label system. In 2016, they formed Dawn Chorus LLP shortly before announcing the release of A Moon Shaped Pool. In the time since the band last toured, many of the members have been busy with solo projects. In October last year, Yorke walked offstage after being heckled by a pro-Palestine protester during a solo show in Melbourne. Footage filmed by a member of the audience showed a man in the crowd yelling at Yorke about the ' Israeli genocide of Gaza ' and the death toll, half of whom he said, 'were children'. Yorke could be seen standing and listening before he told the heckler to 'hop up on stage' to make his remarks. Yorke and his Radiohead bandmates have come under scrutiny in the past over their decision to continue performing in Israel. Last September, Colin Greenwood revealed that Radiohead had recently reunited in the studio to rehearse some of their old songs. During an appearance at the Hay Festival Querétaro in Mexico via video call, the bassist said: 'We did some rehearsals about two months ago in London, just to play the old songs. And it was really fun, had a really good time.'
