Each week, 8 new releases are selected to go head to head, with one weekly winner which will then go up against future weekly winners later in the year at the end of each quarter of the year, and then again at the end of the year to determine the ultimate winner of 2026.

 

This week's results:

• Aluna x Will Sass x Timbaland - Houseboy 2

• Armin van Buuren x Alle Farben x Rosy - Lost in Time 0

• CamelPhat x Rafael Cerato x Mike Trix - Miami Bass 0

• Chase & Status x Blade Brown - Doin It More 1

• Chris Stussy x Tom Did It - Wide Awake 3

• Dean Turnley - Actin' Tough 2

• Franky Ricardo - Shinjuku 1

• Illenium x David Guetta x Dustin Lynch - Die Living 7

It is congrats to US DJ Illenium, whose collaboration with fellow countryman Dustin Lynch (typically a country singer), plus David Guetta tagging along, gets him a second victory here - following 'Refuge' last year. It comes off the back of recently released sixth album 'Odyssey'.

Not a great week but I voted for 'Down To The Bone' which thankfully isn't as basic and minimal as its title suggests.

I voted Wilkinson.

However, Charlotte Haining/ Skepsis is prob my fave dance release this week

all 8 songs receiving a vote with only 10 voters is unexpected!
