Welcome to Pop Track of the Week 2026!

Each week, new releases from the worlds of pop and country 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 again at the end of the year - to determine the ultimate winner of 2026.

Week 6 results:

Myles Smith & Niall Horan - Drive Safe 5

Maisie Peters - My Regards 4

Blusher - rager 2

Charlie Puth & Kenny G - Cry 2

Freya Skye - golden boy 1

Harvey Brittain - break your own heart 1

Magdalene - DJesus 1

Michael Aldag - Chase 1

Whitney Whitney - A Man Written By a Woman 1

Arwin - Glitter 0

Mercer Henderson - Face Like Yours 0

MONSTA X - growing pains 0

Total votes: 18

Another close result between the top 2 with Myles Smith's collaboration with Niall Horan - Drive Safe - just beating Maisie Peters' new single My Regards by one vote. Low votes across the board for the rest of the contenders with a lower turnout overall.

Knox obviously

Meghan slightly ahead of the Perrie song.

Bebe by FAR

Not that awful Meghan song getting votes😭

Not a great bunch, but opted for Meghan.

I really like the previous Maya J’an song but I'm not fussed about this one - voted for Solya out of these.

Went for Mette this week, best of a poor bunch.

Yeah it is a poor bunch this week but I went for Meghan, another surprisingly decent song from her.

Kinda disappointed with new METTE but pleasantly surprised to see her with so many votes anyway.

Nothing this week is a OH IT HAS TO BE THIS moment but Bebe is still definitely my favourite. Love her in her dance bag.

Could happily have never heard that pointless Rise Up cover a day in my life x

1 Bebe Rexha

2 Solya

3 Maya J'an

4 Sarah Kinsley

5 METTE

6 Perrie

7 Alex Sampson

8 Meghan Trainor

9 Knox

10 Leona Lewis

Well... there's nothing on the list this week that I'll be putting on my playlist but hell freezes over as Bebe has the best of a middling bunch. (In all seriousness that is definitely one of the best songs I have heard by her so good luck with that Khia asylum escape etc. - wondering which Khia dimension you plucked that 'Rise Up' cover out of though xx)

1. Meghan Trainor – Get In Girl

2. Perrie – Woman in Love

3. Sarah Kinsley – Truth of Pursuit

4. Bebe Rexha – I Like You Better Than Me

5. Solya – Is This Love??
