Each week, new releases from R&B/Hip Hop 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 2026.

The results for last week are as follows;

01 Leigh-Anne, Valiant & Rvssian - Most Wanted [10]

6. Pozer – Money And Power

10. M Huncho – Championship

1 Joji

2 M Huncho

3 Cleo Sol

4 Pozer

5 Fredo

6 Wizkid

7 Joyce Wrice

8 Flo Milli

9 Ari Lennox

10 Spice

Only the one song I particularly care for this week so an easy vote for Joji and that's all. The M Huncho song is one of the better ones I've heard from him so had potential but it still feels a bit undercooked, generally enjoyed the vibe of the Cleo Sol song but not one I'm wanting to go back to, Pozer and Fredo songs were both solid (I see the latter is a diss track against a bunch of other people, I know nothing of this situation x), the Wizkid/Asake song is a disappointment after enjoying 'Jogodo' but this one mostly does not have near the same energy (still some glimpses of the usual cool Asake vibe but on other parts of the song he just sounds half asleep). 7-9 are all fine, the Spice song is a bit naff.

I know it's not the most exciting of weeks but can we get more votes 😇

1. Ari Lennox - High Key

2. Fredo - Runnin

3. Joji - Last Of A Dying Breed

4. M Huncho - Championship

5. Flo Milli - Flo Jackson

6. Pozer - Money And Power

7. Joyce Wrice - Break Me In

8. Cleo Sol - Nothing Is Impossible With You

9. Wizkid & Asake - Turbulence

10. Spice - Soft Girl Era

Coincidently, the favourite song fron the new Ari Lennox album is called 'Soft Girl Era'. I would have preferred that one here than Spice.

I noticed that as well - although the Ari song of the same name came out last year.
