The new track received nearly 66% of the vote in a poll published Friday (Jan. 17) on Billboard, outpacing other notable new releases like Hailey Whitters’ “Casseroles,” Mac Miller’s Balloonerism, Mumford & Sons’ “Rushmere,” and Marshmello and Jonas Brothers’ “Slow Motion.”
“Ankles,” a captivating song with lush harmonics on the hook, serves as the lead single from Dacus’ upcoming fourth album, Forever Is a Feeling, due out March 28 through Geffen. The 13-track project will feature collaborations with her Boygenius bandmates Phoebe Bridgers and Julien Baker, as well as contributions from Hozier, Blake Mills, Bartees Strange and Madison Cunningham, among others.
The forthcoming album will be Dacus’ first since 2020’s Home Video and will be followed by a monthlong tour in April and May. The 13-city Forever Is a Feeling Tour will include stops in Philadelphia, Los Angeles, New York and Nashville.
In second place was Whitters’ “Casseroles,” which earned nearly 17% of the vote. The poignant song, which delves into themes of grief and healing, marks Whitters’ first new release in two years. Drawing from the pain of losing a brother over a decade ago, the country singer’s evocative vocals explore the unsettled emotions surrounding loss and recovery. Placing third on the tally was the “other” category, with 6% of the votes, followed by late rapper Miller’s posthumous album, Balloonerism, which earned 4% of the vote.
