Cardi B, Troye Sivan and Eminem lead Billboard’s new music poll
Billboard’s latest New Music Friday poll is stacked with big names, and Cardi B, Troye Sivan and Eminem are the ones drawing the loudest attention. The October 9 roundup also spotlights new releases from Remi Wolf, Pitbull and Slayyyter.
Troye Sivan leads the week on the album side with She’s the Best, his fourth studio album and follow-up to 2023’s Something to Give Each Other. Billboard says the set includes singles such as the title track, “Party” and “FF”, with production and songwriting contributions from Jack Antonoff and Finneas.
Cardi B is back on the singles side with “Don’t Chart”, a new track tied to the Grand Theft Auto VI soundtrack. Billboard notes that it arrives after she canceled a stadium-headlining performance in Jamaica just 10 days before showtime on Thursday, Oct. 8, and says it marks her second new single of 2026 after “AH HA.”
Eminem links up with Ez Mil again
Eminem appears on Philippines-born rapper Ez Mil’s “Madara” collaboration, which also features Tokyo underground artist Hideyoshi and Neil Kaplan, the voice actor behind Madara Uchiha in the English dub of Naruto. Billboard says Eminem and Ez Mil last teamed up on 2023’s “Realest” and on “Head Honcho” from The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce).
Elsewhere, Slayyyter drops “I Think He’s Got a Girl” as a new taste of her forthcoming Wor$t Man In America project, while Gunna has tapped Coco Gauff for the official video for “Pop It.” The lineup also includes new songs from Girl in Red, Snoh Aalegra, Offset and Don Toliver, plus fresh albums from Remi Wolf, Pitbull, Dawn Richard, Joyce Wrice and Sheryl Crow.
Billboard ends the feature by asking readers to vote for the release they’ll keep on repeat this weekend.
