Every Thursday, we here at Official Charts round up the biggest New Releases coming your way across music and home entertainment.
Ellie Goulding unleashes her fifth album Higher Than Heaven. While most of its press over the last week has been over that its Ellie's least personal album yet (hey, whoever said a collection of dark synth rammers about having a good time wasn't personal?!), you shouldn't overlook its shiny veneer.
Packed from to back to front with a collection of kinetc and electric pop anthems, they veer from euphoric bubblegum (By The End of the Night), serene and orchestral (the title track) and sinsiter new wave (Cure For Love).
Overall, it ranks as one of her strongest pop statements, personal insights be damned! We also have new albums from Australian pop outfit Cub Sport (Jesus At A Gay Bar), former Daft Punk member Thomas Bangalater (Mythologies) and Linkin Park, who issue the 20th anniversary edition of their influential Meteora album.
