Foo Fighters, Demi Lovato and The Kid LAROI anchored the April 24 New Music Friday lineup with new albums and deluxe editions landing across streaming services. (officialcharts.com) (open.spotify.com) Official Charts listed Foo Fighters’ *My Favorite Toy* among the week’s biggest album releases, while Spotify’s album page shows the band’s new set as *Your Favorite Toy* with 10 tracks released on April 24, 2026. (officialcharts.com) (open.spotify.com) Demi Lovato’s new project, *It’s Not That Deep (Unless You Want It To Be)*, also arrived Friday. Apple Music lists 19 songs and a 55-minute runtime, with release metadata dated April 24, 2026. (music.apple.com) (open.spotify.com) The Kid LAROI’s contribution was a larger-format reissue rather than a brand-new studio album. Official Charts identified *BEFORE I FORGET (DELUXE)* as one of three major reissues this week, and Spotify lists the deluxe edition at 24 songs. (officialcharts.com) (open.spotify.com) The broader Friday slate was bigger than the four names circulating in social roundups. Official Charts also highlighted Kehlani’s self-titled album, Noah Kahan’s *The Great Divide* and Niall Horan’s single “Little More Time.” (officialcharts.com) That makes this week’s story less about one blockbuster single and more about volume: multiple album-length releases, multiple reissues and a playlist economy that packages them together as one event every Friday. (officialcharts.com) (music.apple.com) The catalog side of the cycle is moving at the same time. MyStreamCount showed BTS’s “Blood Sweat & Tears” at 698,659,175 Spotify streams in a snapshot crawled five days ago, putting the track within roughly 1.4 million streams of 700 million. (mystreamcount.com) Streaming services are also surfacing older projects next to the new ones. Apple Music’s recommendation rail on Lovato’s album page includes Katy Perry’s *143*, showing how current release pages double as discovery slots for other pop catalog and recent albums. (music.apple.com) By Saturday, April 25, the clearest through line was simple: Friday’s music conversation centered on full projects from Foo Fighters, Demi Lovato and The Kid LAROI, with chart trackers watching older songs keep climbing alongside them.
