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 8 results:

Jessie Ware - Ride 8

Hilary Duff - Weather For Tennis 4

Chloe Qisha - YDH 2

Freya Ridings - Wild Horse 2

Ella Boh - LLORONiTA 0

Total votes: 24

With double the votes of Hilary Duff in second place with Weather For Tennis (released alongside her new album luck... or something), Jessie Ware takes the top spot this week. Second single Ride seems to have garnered more love than I Could Get Used to This. Only two songs of twelve don't pick up any votes this week!
