At This Point (29th July 2015) NME Stopped News stand publication.
Rest of list taken from NME.com where the feature continued...
• De Lux - Oh Man The Future
• Mark Ronson, Tame Impala, Andrew Wyatt and Kirin J Callinan – I Sat By The Ocean
• Lana Del Rey – High By The Beach
• Deerhunter - Snakeskin
• Sexwitch - Helelyos
• Royal Blood - Hook, Line And Sinker

....By the time NME returned to a giveaway print edition in September 2015, the magazine had changed from the IndieRock/Pop bible to a main stream pop Smash Hits style comic with more editorial dedicated to Film, TV & Games rather than music. The Tracks Of The Week feature descended into a 'Best for hip shaking' 'Best for slamming doors too' reviewing the likes of Justin Bieber & The Vamps. Hence, no longer relevant to these pages...so long NME.
