Each week, new releases from the world of pop are selected to go head to head, with one weekly winner. The winners will then go up against future weekly winners later in the year at the end of each quarter and then again at the end of the year to determine the ultimate winner of 2025.

Week 34 results:

Perrie - If He Wanted to He Would 8

Doja Cat - Jealous Type 6

Ava Max - Don't Click Play 4

Diana Vickers - Ice Cream 4

Carly Rae Jepsen - More 1

Sigrid - Fort Knox 1

Dasha - Like It Like That 0

Fred Roberts - Object of Desire 0

Ruel - The Suburbs 0

Will Linley - Up at Night 0

Total votes: 24

With the announcement of her debut solo album and new single If He Wanted to He Would (aptly matching the title of a banger by one of Week 35's artists), Perrie takes first place this week with a return to form while Doja Cat's new pop-infused single Jealous Type is in second with just two less votes.
