Notting Hill Music is thrilled to celebrate a landmark moment for one of our newest signings, The Molotovs, whose explosive debut album Wasted On Youth has stormed out of the gate and straight into the UK charts — now going head-to-head with Lily Allen in the race for this week’s UK Number 1 album.

Released last week, Wasted On Youth marks a bold arrival from a band that has been rapidly building momentum through their electrifying live performances, sharp songwriting, and unmistakable sonic identity. Blending raw energy with infectious hooks and emotionally charged lyricism, The Molotovs have delivered a debut that feels both urgent and timeless.

The album has already generated significant buzz across streaming platforms and radio, capturing the attention of fans and industry tastemakers alike. Early reactions have praised the band’s ability to channel youthful intensity into a cohesive and confident body of work, positioning Wasted On Youth as one of the most exciting debut releases of the year.

The chart battle with established pop icon Lily Allen highlights just how strongly The Molotovs have connected with audiences in such a short space of time. Achieving a Number 1 debut would mark a remarkable milestone for the band and further cement their status as one of the UK’s most exciting emerging acts.

Since signing with Notting Hill Music, The Molotovs have demonstrated a relentless creative drive and a clear artistic vision. We are incredibly proud to support the band as they reach this pivotal moment in their journey and look forward to what promises to be a hugely exciting future.
