Fans Choose Sleep Token’s ‘Even in Arcadia’ as This Week’s Favorite New Music

Sleep Token‘s new album Even in Arcadia tops this week’s new music poll.

Music fans voted in a poll published Friday (May 9) on Billboard, choosing the cryptic English group’s latest LP — their first with major label RCA Records — as their favorite new music release of the past week.

In a week brimming with fresh offerings, Sleep Token rose to the top; their 10-track collection brought in more than 61% of the vote. Voters chose Even in Arcadia over new releases from artists including ROSÉ, Kid Cudi, Miley Cyrus, Kali Uchis, Halsey & Amy Lee, PinkPantheress and Maren Morris.

Sleep Token built up to the May 9 release of Even in Arcadia with “Emergence,” which sprung to No. 1 on Billboard‘s Hot Hard Rock Songs chart and broke into the Hot 100, marking Sleep Token’s first entry on the all-genre chart. Two more Hot Hard Rock No. 1s followed suit: “Caramel” and “Damocles.” (On the May 10-dated Hot Hard Rock Songs ranking, “Damocles” sits at No. 1, “Caramel” at No. 2 and “Emergence” at No. 3.)

Though Even in Arcadia is Sleep Token’s fourth studio album, it’s the first to see a release through RCA.

“Before we could approach the rollout plans for Even In Arcadia, it was critical to me that everyone who would be tied to the project deeply understood and respected the profound and expansive world the band created to surround its artistry long before this record,” RCA vp of marketing Aaron Stern told Billboard in April. “Sleep Token set a best-in-class standard for how an artist can cultivate an audience of fans that sincerely immerse themselves in the music and surrounding visual identity.”

Among the new music trailing behind Even in Arcadia on this week’s poll are songs from ROSÉ (“Messy,” with 25% of the vote), Kid Cudi (“Neverland,” with 4% of the vote) and Miley Cyrus (“More to Lose,” with 3% of the vote).
