Which New Music Release Is Your Favorite This Week? Vote!
With Billboard's new music poll, vote for your favorite release of the week, from Lorde to Benson Boone, Megan Thee Stallion and more.
Starting off strong with a certain New Zealand-born pop star, the arrival of Lorde’s comeback single “What Was That” on Thursday (April 24) finally ended the four-year drought between now and the release of Solar Power in 2021. Paired with a DIY music video featuring shots of the singer frolicking through New York City and dancing with fans at a meetup in Washington Square Park, the turbulent synth-pop track finds Lorde returning to the party she first attended on 2017’s Melodrama as an older, wiser, more emotionally in-tune version of herself. The next day came a flood of other new tracks from big stars, including Boone’s latest stab at matching the success of Billboard Hot 100 smash “Beautiful Things.” Interpolating Olivia Newton-John’s “Physical” in the chorus, “Mystical Magical” gives fans a taste of what’s to come on the singer-songwriter’s June 20-slated album, American Heart.
