This week’s Friday Music Guide brought a trio of albums and a trio of songs that Billboard editors will have in our headphones all weekend — but which of the half-dozen selections is your favorite new music of the week?
Starting with the albums, we had the long-awaited A$AP Rocky project Don’t Be Dumb — his first album since 2018’s Testing. We heard lead singles “Punk Rocky” and “Helicopter” first, but Friday’s (Jan. 16) release brought 15 tracks on the standard album plus two digital bonuses.
ENHYPEN (Heeseung, Jay, Jake, Sunghoon, Sunoo, Jungwon and Ni-Ki) dropped the 11-track EP The Sin: Vanish on Friday, highlighted by lead single “Knife.” The vampire-themed release is the first in the seven-member K-pop group’s expected The Sin series.
Finally, Madison Beer put out her third album locket, which follows 2023’s Silence Between Songs. We all know the 2024-released single “Make You Mine” — a top 10 hit on Billboard‘s Pop Airplay chart — and the album was also preceded by the songs “Yes Baby” and “Bittersweet” (Beer’s first Billboard Hot 100 hit).
On the song front, we got new tunes from Nigerian superstars Wizkid and Asake (“Jogodo”), country crooner Megan Moroney (“Wish I Didn’t”) and indie-pop singer/songwriter Mitski (“Where’s My Phone?”).
But which was your favorite of the week? Below, you can vote for one of our half-dozen Friday Music Guide selections or write in your own in our poll. We’ll close the poll on Sunday and share the results so fans can see which album or song wears the weekly crown.
