Troye Sivan’s ‘She’s the Best’ Wins as Favorite New Music


When it comes to new music, She’s the Best by Troye Sivan has not just made waves, it has set the tone. The full-length album recently crowned the favorite in this week’s new music poll, demonstrating a powerful connection with listeners who are craving authentic, emotionally resonant sound.

The poll, published by Billboard, showcased the album’s dominance, positioning it above other major releases. It outperformed tracks from artists like Cardi B, Slayyyter, Ez Mil with Eminem, Pitbull, and Remi Wolf, securing a remarkable 56% of the vote by the end of the week.

Beyond the impressive numbers, what truly elevates the album is the deep, personal narrative woven into every track. Sivan shared that his creative process is deeply tied to cultural conversation and genuine expression. For him, music is a vital outlet for feeling and understanding the world around him.

The title track, “She’s the Best,” is particularly layered. It is more than just a catchy tune; it is a profound exploration of identity. Sivan noted that the song, which features Nicole Kidman in its music video, represents something he had long sought to articulate—a realization of constancy and support within his life.

He described the album as a significant emotional journey, filled with fascinating shifts. Sivan reflected on the emotional whiplash experienced while creating the work, moving between bombastic, stage-ready energy and moments of deep loneliness. These contrasting feelings, along with themes of manifestation and love, formed the core of the album’s unique texture.

Ultimately, the album became a testament to finding stability amidst the chaos. Sivan explained that the core message of She’s the Best stems from recognizing the unwavering support he has received from the feminine people in his life, offering a stable anchor through every phase of his experience.

While Sivan’s album dominated the polls, other tracks also garnered attention, with Cardi B’s “Don’t Chart” and Slayyyter’s “I Think He’s Got a Girl” also rounding out the competitive landscape of the week’s music favorites.
