Dua Lipa‘s Radical Optimism has topped this week’s new music poll that features artists in various genres of music.
Music fans voted in a poll published Friday (May 3) on Billboard, choosing the pop star’s third studio album as their favorite new music release of the past week.
The new set from Lipa brought in 35% of the vote on the poll, securing a notable edge ahead of new releases from Imagine Dragons featuring J Balvin (“Eyes Closed”), Kendrick Lamar (“6:16 in LA” and “Euphoria”), Willow (“Empathogen”), Kane Brown and Marshmello (“Miles on It”), and others.
Lipa’s 11-track Radical Optimism — her first proper album since 2020’s Future Nostalgia — features previously released singles “Houdini,” “Training Season” and “Illusion.”
“[Releasing the album] feels good. It feels for lack of a better word — radically optimistic,” she previously told Billboard, before explaining the idea behind the album cover, which features the singer floating in a wide open ocean facing a shark fin. “Throughout the whole record, there’s this idea of chaos happening around and me trying to push through it in a way that feels authentic and honest to me.”
The British artist also pulled double duty as host and music guest during Saturday Night Live on May 4, where she performed Radical Optimism tracks “Illusion” and “Happy For You.”
Trailing behind Radical Optimism on this week’s poll is the “other” category, with nearly 23% of the vote. Placing third is Imagine Dragons featuring J Balvin’s “Eyes Closed,” which brought in 21% of the vote.
