Link Up TV left the release calendar empty, but its recent arrivals offer a small introduction worth making: Ainge O'Malley's first appearance on the channel, "Ainge O'Malley - Hold You Close [Music Video] | Link Up TV."
The description presents an artist drawing on faith, family and difficult experiences, with a sound spanning rap, R&B and Afrobeats. It is a more personal introduction than the channel's familiar freestyle billing, and the video continues to pick up modest daily views.
Simmy's "Simmy - Raise [Music Video] | Link Up TV" is attracting the most daily viewing of those recent releases, with "HB X Mirror Mirror Cypher 2026 | Link Up TV" also ticking along. None is operating on the scale of the archive favorites: S1MBA and DTG's "Rover" has reached roughly 79 million views, while Drake's Behind Barz appearance remains another landmark.
Across the channel, viewing is close to its usual pace, adding about 1.6 million views over seven days while subscribers stayed unchanged. BBC Radio 1Xtra had a similarly sized weekly view gain; triple j had a busier week. For Link Up TV, an upload break leaves room for newer names alongside a substantial UK rap archive.
