And then they did it again! It sounds like winning the lottery, but behind this story is a whole lot of hard work and determination. They reached the top of the UK Albums Chart for the first time in 2023 with Anxiety Replacement Therapy, followed by a second No. 1 in 2025 with KOKO. Sometimes, luck just isn\u2019t enough. You have to work pretty hard to meet it halfway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Lottery Winners - Turn Around\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/d0vPB8KsTuY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Lottery Winners are about more than just catchy indie rock songs. Frontman Thom Rylance draws on personal experiences, exploring themes such as anxiety, ADHD and self-discovery. Music helps him process his emotions, and he sees songwriting as a form of therapy. Their album KOKO, short for Keep On Keeping On, reflects the idea that it\u2019s worth pushing forward even when things don\u2019t go to plan. And did you know Thom is friends with Robbie Williams, who\u2019s also playing Colours? Quite a nice coincidence, don\u2019t you think?<br><br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A band that hit the jackpot on their own.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":19466,"menu_order":0,"template":"","meta":[],"program-year":[558,559],"program-category":[120],"program-genre":[329,260,180,181],"program-country":[163],"class_list":["post-19465","program","type-program","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","program-category-music-programme","program-genre-alternative-en","program-genre-indie-en","program-genre-pop-en","program-genre-rock-en","program-country-velka-britanie-en"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.3.1 -
