It's New Music Friday and time to check out what's on your soundtrack for the week ahead in Media Mole's Hot New Releases playlist.

Leading the way this week is Liam Payne with a surprise Christmas single, 'Naughty List', which sees the One Direction star team up with TikTok mega-star Dixie D'Amelio.

Carly Rae Jepsen is also getting in on the festivities with 'It's Not Christmas Till Somebody Cries', which celebrates the all-too-familiar experience of Christmas conflict among loved ones.

Elsewhere, Harry Styles gives a formal release to 'Golden' - the fifth single to be taken from Fine Lines - while James Arthur finds himself back in the charts with 2016 track 'Train Wreck' thanks to a new life on TikTok.

Dua Lipa also drops new music this week, teaming with Belgian singer Angele for 'Fever' - her first new material since Future Nostalgia.

Other tracks still in our mixtape in this week include Ariana Grande's 'positions', which looks set for number one, and Little Mix's 'Sweet Melody'.
