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.

WEEK 38: The Results

Total votes : 26

Miley Cyrus feat. Model/Actriz - Different Religion 7

Troye Sivan - Party 7

ROSÉ - new trick 3

Say Now - Met my match 2

Tove Styrke - Me/You (always and forever) 2

LEXXE - The Box 1

Midnight Til Morning - Anything 1

Freya Skye - bad taste 0

Grace Power - Black Hole Baby Bottom Feeder 0

Henry Morris - Crawling Back to You 0

It was a two horse race to the finish for Week 38... and the race ended in a TIE! Which means that you will have to vote again in a tiebreaker to decide whether Miley Cyrus's 'Different Religion' or Troye Sivan's 'Party' reigns supreme for Week 38. Elsewhere, Rosé's return to pop-rock scored her 3 points, whilst Say Now and Tove Styrke were the only other acts to pick up votes from more than one member.

I made this playlist on Friday and just hadn’t finished the post but she usually gets included in RnB polls! And then Melatonin was in dance. In hindsight, probably a bit of an oversight but on the basis that she seems to float around all the genres 😩
