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.

First of all, thanks very much to Rob for stepping in last week, and hopefully we'll be seeing more choices from Rob for the polls as we alternate weeks moving forward. Olivia Rodrigo tops the poll this week with a standalone release where she struggled with singles from her third album you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love earlier this year. Angèle, Alex Warren, Delta Goodrem, HRVY and Haute & Freddy are the other main vote recipients this week.

Listen to Pop Track of the Week 2026: Week 36

none really but miley gets my vote x

A toss up between Natalie Imbruglia and Take That. Have gone for the latter for roping in the iconic Paddy 'Michael Patrick' Kelly.

Opted for Lisa, feels like a classic Blackpink track - just sneaks ahead of Miley (not that she needs the help!)

Natalie Imbruglia, it's a pretty good song
