Fans Choose Shawn Mendes’ ‘Why Why Why’ as This Week’s Favorite New Music in All-Genre Poll

Shawn Mendes' "Why Why Why" is triumphant in topping this week’s new music poll that features artists in various genres of music.

“Why Why Why” brought in 50% of the vote on the poll, securing a notable edge ahead of new releases from Katy Perry(“Lifetimes”), NIKI( Buzz), Beabadoobee( This is How Tomorrow Moves), Latto( Sugar Honey Iced Tea), J Balvin(Rayo), and others. On Friday, Mendes made his comeback with “Why Why Why,” which leads his upcoming album, Shawn, which is scheduled for release on Oct. 18. “I stepped off the stage with nothing left/ All the lights were f—ing with my head,” the singer-songwriter admits on “Why Why Why,” a highly compelling piece of folk-pop that finds him vulnerable to the point of sounding haunted, two years removed from cancelling a tour due to mental health purposes.
