Megan Thee Stallion and RM‘s “Neva Play” has topped this week’s new music poll that features artists in various genres of music.
Music fans voted in a poll published Friday (Sept. 6) on Billboard, choosing the Houston rapper and BTS star’s team-up as their favorite new music release of the past week.
“Neva Play” brought in nearly 90% of the vote on the poll, securing a notable edge ahead of new releases from Halsey (“Ego”), Camila Cabello (C,XOXO – Magic City Edition), Linkin Park (“The Emptiness Machine”) and A$AP Rocky featuring J. Cole (“Ruby Rosary”), among others.
Released just a week after the pair started teasing that they’d be joining forces on social media, “Neva Play” finds the Houston Hottie and K-pop phenomenon taking turns showing off their rap skills.
“This is one of my favorite RM verses I’ve heard!” Meg wrote of the collaboration days before it dropped, sharing the track’s comic-book-esque artwork. “I’ve never heard him rap in this style before,” she added at the time.
The new track marks the second time Meg has stepped into BTS’ world, having previously teamed up with the boy band on a remix to the Billboard Hot 100 chart-topping “Butter.” She first started teasing “Neva Play” with a simple emojis tweet after which BTS all but confirmed it was involved in the project by retweeting with its own string of emojis.
“Neva Play” comes at a busy time for Megan Thee Stallion, whose album Megan debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 in July. Meanwhile, BTS’ full-band activities have been on pause as the members fulfill their mandatory military obligations in South Korea, although some of the boys have dropped solo projects in the meantime.
Trailing behind Meg and RM on this week’s poll is Halsey’s vulnerable track “Ego,” which brought in almost 3% of the vote. The single is part of the rollout for her upcoming album, The Great Impersonator.
