Wizkid and Brent Faiyaz‘s “Piece of My Heart” has topped this week’s new music poll that features artists in various genres of music.
Music fans voted in a poll published Friday (Oct. 18) on Billboard, choosing the pair’s chill R&B bop as their favorite new music release of the past week.
“Piece of My Heart” brought in nearly 85% of the vote on the poll, securing a very notable edge ahead of new releases from Bruno Mars and ROSÉ (“APT.”), Kylie Minogue (Tension II), Morgan Wallen (“Love Somebody”), Gracie Abrams (The Secret of Us (Deluxe)), and others.
“Piece of My Heart,” which dropped Oct. 18, is the lead single from Wizkid’s upcoming sixth studio album, Morayo. The forthcoming set is scheduled to arrive Nov. 22 through Starboy/Sony Music International/RCA Records.
The slinky love jam doesn’t shy away from old-school R&B pleasures and allows the Nigerian superstar to showcase his nimble flow. “Nothing can tear us apart/ You’ve got a piece of my heart/ Nothing can tear us apart (Nothing in this world)/ You’ve got a piece of my heart (That belongs to you girl),” Faiyaz sings in the chorus.
Wizkid has only been featured on a couple of collaborations this year, from “MMS” with Asake on his third album, Lungu Boy, to “Work Me Out” with Shenseea on her sophomore release, Never Gets Late Here. The only collaboration Faiyaz was a part of this year was “Should’ve Wore a Bonnet,” with 21 Savage on his third album, American Dream.
Morayo, which is a Yoruba word for “I see joy,” will arrive two years after Wiz dropped his fifth album, More Love, Less Ego. The 2022 set reached No. 59 on the Billboard 200 and No. 2 on World Albums.
Trailing far behind Wizkid and Faiyaz on this week’s poll is Bruno Mars and ROSÉ’s “APT.,” which brought in 13% of the vote. The BLACKPINK star and Silk Sonic hitmaker’s fresh collaboration finds the duo mixing energetic chants with hooky pop melodies.
