October marks a monumental moment for Native Radio — the official launch of the Native Top 40, our brand-new monthly chart highlighting the hottest tracks and most celebrated artists emerging from Wales. From gritty Cardiff rap anthems to soulful R&B, indie rock bangers, and bilingual brilliance, the chart showcases the vibrant mix that defines the Welsh music scene right now.

Here’s a look at some of the standout hits shaping the Native Top 40 for October:

1. Those Damn Crows – “Glass Heart”

Bridgend’s rock heavyweights claim the top spot with “Glass Heart”, a powerful anthem that blends raw emotion with arena-sized energy. A masterclass in modern Welsh rock.

2. Aleighcia Scott – “Dod o’r Galon”

The Cardiff reggae queen delivers a heartfelt bilingual tune that’s both soulful and deeply rooted in culture. It’s no surprise she’s climbed near the top this month.

3. Local – “Paranoid”

Dark, reflective, and irresistibly smooth — “Paranoid” captures that late-night introspection we all know too well. A breakout moment for Local.

4. Mace The Great – “PTC (Perfected The Craft)”

True to its title, this track is proof of Mace’s evolution as one of Wales’ sharpest rappers. Precision, passion, and production on point.

5. Lemfrick – “Could Sin”

A poetic fusion of introspection and melody — Lemfrick continues to impress with storytelling that feels both personal and universal.

6. Sage Todz – “Stopia Cwyno”

The Welsh drill pioneer keeps pushing boundaries with bilingual bars and unapologetic pride. “Stopia Cwyno” is a rallying cry and a vibe.

7. Bruna Garcia – “Back in Town”

Smooth vocals and cinematic sound — Bruna’s return is all class. This one feels like a soundtrack to new beginnings.

8. Baddathanwho ft. Malika Blu – “2 Birds, 1 Stone”

Explosive chemistry between two rising stars. It’s confident, catchy, and full of Cardiff swagger.

9. Those Damn Crows – “Dreaming”

Another hit from the Crows! Anthemic guitars and soaring vocals make this one a fan favourite on Welsh rock radio.
