Troye Sivan’s ‘She’s the Best’ Album: All 12 Tracks Ranked

Troye Sivan got his start on YouTube before evolving into one of today’s biggest pop stars. Rooted in his Australian YouTube beginnings, he’s been in the industry for years. 

Breaking into the music scene, Troye Sivan’s debut EP, TRXYE (2014), debuted at No. 5 on the Billboard 200. The following year, his debut album, Blue Neighbourhood (2015), featuring “Youth,” established him as a rising pop artist through its intimate songwriting and exploration of queer identity. He continued to evolve his sound with Bloom (2018), embracing a more confident and sensual approach through hits like “My My My!” and “Dance to This” featuring Ariana Grande.

With a five year break, Sivan returned with Something to Give Each Other in 2023, a critically acclaimed celebration of queer joy, intimacy, and connection. Led by the Grammy-nominated single “Rush,” the album earned widespread recognition, cementing his status as a defining voice in contemporary pop.

Over the past year, Sivan has earned three Grammy nominations, embarked on the SWEAT Tour with Charli xcx and landed two Billboard Hot 100 hits: “Rush” and “One of Your Girls.” (He also joined Charli as a surprise guest during her set at ACL this past weekend.) He released the new single “She’s the Best,” this August — and now, nearly two months later, this Friday (Oct. 9) the full album of the same name finally reaches fans’ ears.

She’s the Best is a portrait of Troye Sivan’s life in all its contrasting moods and colors, capturing the tension between outward celebration and a deeper, more vulnerable longing. On the surface, the project revels in the freedom of being queer and embracing sex, music, dancing, and the connections forged through community. It also serves as an expression of gratitude for the women in his life, whose presence has remained a constant source of love and inspiration. Beneath that exuberance, however, lies a more complicated emotional landscape, one shaped by yearning, loneliness, and the search for someone to share it all with.

At times, the album becomes an intimate letter. Conceived as a project meant to be experienced as much visually as it is sonically, She’s the Best presents Sivan exploring the full spectrum of his identity — from masculine to feminine, connected to isolated, and everything in between. Through it all, his queerness, humor, and enduring romantic optimism remain at the centre, alongside the hope that the person he is searching for might be just around the corner.

Whatever comes next for Troye next, he can always look back on She’s the Best as a project that is entirely him and those around him — and perhaps far more honest and vulnerable than even he anticipated to be. As a result, Sivan’s release proves him to be one of one among pop’s leading crew of established pop stars. So whether or not there’s more to come, just party and hit repeat – and read below for Billboard’s ranking of all 12 tracks.
