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.

I'll be taking over from Calum with the weekly updates (for a short while, at the very least) but he will be getting us back up to speed with the missing weeks alongside this so keep an eye out for THAT.

WEEK 28: The Results

Total votes : 30

Rebecca Black - Hot Wet Delirious 7

Mae Muller - Wheels Come Off 6

Cody Simpson - Fluent 0

Ella Boh - PRETTY BABY 0

Well, this feels like a correct way for me to begin! Rebecca Black was your last winner 7 weeks ago with 'Hot Wet Delirious' bringing her her first win, with seven votes. It was a close run battle with Mae Muller nipping at her heels, scoring six votes, to finish 2nd. Alessi Rose rounds off the top 3 with an impressive four votes, in quite a split week.
