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 Britney Spears, who celebrates her 39th birthday by releasing 'Swimming In The Stars', a previously-unheard track recorded in 2016.

Not content with having 'All I Want For Christmas' riding high in the charts, Mariah Carey launches a second festive chart charge with a new version of her 2010 single 'Oh Santa!' featuring vocals from Ariana Grande and Jennifer Hudson.

Elsewhere, Strictly Come Dancing contender HRVY senses the opportunity to drop new music and releases 'Baby, I Love Your Way'.

Other tracks still in our mixtape in this week include Billie Eilish's high-flying 'Therefore I Am' and Jennifer Lopez's 'In The Morning'.
