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:

• Marshmello x Illenium x Sacha - Close My Eyes 5

• Armin van Buuren x Pete Tong x Poppy Baskcomb - Toca's Miracle 3

• Becky Hill - Changes 3

• Chase & Status x Skrillex - Essa Ta Quente 2

• Barry Can't Swim x Sammy Virji - I Could Be Madonna 1

• David Guetta x Hypaton - You and I, Me and You 1

• Chrystal x Rudimental - 3 2 1 0

• Cloonee - Get Up and Dance 0

'Close My Eyes' becomes Marshmello's first victory in the 3.7 years DTotW has been running. He is much-assisted by Illenium here who had a win earlier this year with 'Die Living', and is his third total win. The song denies Becky her 4th win of the year alongside an updated version of the Fragma classic hit which both are joint second place.
