Will of the People by Muse
Will of the People is an album by Muse, released in 2022. 3 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 13 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Won't Stand Down”, on 8 lists with a best position of #5.
Will of the People, Muse's ninth album, landed on Warner Records and Helium-3 in 2022, and the trio produced it themselves. Matt Bellamy pitched it as a hits collection made entirely of new songs, and that's the trick: it hops from genre to genre and raids the band's own back pages, packing glam stomp, synth-pop sheen and metal crunch into one flight case.
Bellamy, Chris Wolstenholme and Dominic Howard sound like they're having a blast with it. "Won't Stand Down", "Compliance", the title track and "Kill or Be Killed" were all out before the album, "You Make Me Feel Like It's Halloween" arrived on release day, and "Ghosts (How Can I Move On)", with the Italian singer-songwriter Elisa, closed the campaign. It handed Muse a seventh straight number one in the UK, and the world tour behind it ran from April 2022 to November 2023.
