• Welcome to your ANZAC Day serve of The Purge, which we’re kicking off this morning with ‘Babe’, the new single from US country duo Sugarland. It’s the lead single from the band’s just-announced new album ‘Bigger’, which is due to land on Friday June 08. And to ensure their lead single hits, so they’ve enlisted the services of superstar Taylor Swift, who actually co-penned the track. It’s actually the only track on the new album not written by Sugarland themselves.
• Also on their way out to media in the last seven days are the new Busby Marou single ‘Sleep On It’, Billie Eilish and Khalid’s collaboration ‘Lovely’, along with the new singles from Liam Payne, Ariana Grande, Odette and Anne-Marie.

All four tracks are featured on the ‘Sick Boy’ project which, we’re told by the boys’ label Sony, is an “ongoing building album” project.
