Yesterday was the start of 2026 for Billboard.

 

We already have a few songs guaranteed to make the YE charts:

- Taylor Swift - The Life of Ophelia, Elizabeth Taylor, Opalite and Father Figure (at the very least)

- HUNTRX - Golden

- Alex Warren - Ordinary

- Mariah Carey - AIWFCIY

- Bobby Helms - Jingle Bell Rock

- Brenda Lee - RATCT

- Wham - Last Christmas

 

On top of that, DWAS, Lose Control, Beautiful Things, Mutt, What I Want, I Got Better and Daises are all likely.

 

Whom are you supporting and what are you hoping to see happen commercially this year?

I am hoping to see a new MPG like Sabrina, Billie and Olivia but this time hopefully a WOC ( I know Olivia is wasian , but yk what I meant)

 

Also I am hoping less Morgan Wallen 

 

In a perfect world, Ariana releasing AG8 in 2026 

 

We don't even know who will be releasing. I'm very happy with 2025. It was honestly an awesome year for music

Lisa

Gaga

Selena

Tate

Miley

Addison

Kesha

Sabrina

Taylor

Snow Wife

Julia Michaels

all released good projects and i may be missing some? I need to check my mp3 player. I will be supporting all of these women in their future endeavors. I need to check out Not For Radio and idk I know for sure i'm missing somebody. 

I am rooting for Gracie to drop GA3 and have her first big BIG era, but honestly that can go anywhere.

 

 

I am also rooting for Madison Beer but she's seemingly not escaping the khia asylum so..

We think that Olivia Dean might take off?

We know of a few artists like Demi (Here All Night), Ariana (Wicked: For Good) and BTS (unfortunately). It's basically been confirmed that Adele and Harry Styles are set to release.

I want to see Taylor beating Morgan's record for most entries on the YE chart. 
 

In 2025, Morgan had: 

#8. I Had Some Help

#11. Love Somebody

#14. I'm The Problem

#18. Just In Case

#26. What I Want*

#40. I Got Better*

#62. Smile*

#70. I Ain't Coming Back*

#91. 20 Cigarettes*

#98. Superman* (not guaranteed)

 

Taylor has an advantage in the sense that her whole album has all but one week counted for 2026, but she lost out on almost 5,000 chart points across her album tracks by releasing one week too soon. 5,000 chart points would be the #15 song on the 2025 YE

She could have broken that record if this week counted , all songs over 300 pts 

Now atmost 5-6 songs

Olivia Dean easily

I wish Demi's album had come out yesterday. What am i sposed to do? I have been so hyped for this album but the rollout has been too long for my liking. And then after that what? Wicked? Is that the only thing that's happening till next year? Personally I'm not into Harry Styles, Adele, or BTS, but I will check it out.

She played it really smart by releasing in October because her songs will still be strong enough to last on the top 100 through the holiday freeze but not old enough to go recurrent if they fall under the top 50. and then they'll all get huge rebounds in the second week of January when Christmas songs fall off, guaranteeing more weeks. I'd bet at least 6 of the songs lock for the YE chart by February.

Honestly, she's not really doing any promo that has increased hype so I wish she had just dropped it when "Fast" was still being pushed. It should have been the focal point of the album release.

 

Feel free to skip Harry, Adele and BTS and just stream Aespa when they release next year. The music will be much better.

The picture disc vinyl and the (soon-to-be-announced) fan edition! I got 8 tickets to see it with a group of friends on 11/19 and then I'm going with a group of 10 to see it on 11/21.

Hope Madonna can score a #1 debut week for the new album.
