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 43 results:

Westlife - Chariot 8

Slayyyter - CRANK 5

5 Seconds of Summer - Telephone Busy 4

Selena Gomez - In the Dark 4

Lewis Capaldi - Almost 2

MARINA - SEX IS POWER 2

Rose Gray & JADE - Angel of Satisfaction 2

Sophie and the Giants - Loser 1

Elevator Boys - Fever Dream 0

Total votes: 28

Despite not being the most exciting line-up of tracks, Westlife swoop in as a bit of a shock win picking up 8 votes this week with their single Chariot from The Ultimate Collection compilation. Slayyyter's latest single CRANK isn't too far behind in second place.
