At #3 with a Hype Score of 593 are London four-piece Lawson, buoyed by debut single “When She Was Mine” receiving 1,229 listeners in the past week. After support slots with Will Young and The Wanted, it appears their own brand of guitar-pop is gaining traction with listeners.

Reminds me of you
Just a picture on the wall
I'm surrounded by it all
