Singles
Sigrid - 'Strangers'
WHAT A SONG. Sigrid hasmade a name for herself over the past year or so as a promising one to watch but thisproves that she's in it for the long haul. A glorious electropop banger that builds into a stunning chorus. One of the singles of the year.
Jennifer Lopez - 'Amor, Amor, Amor'
Latin popmay be more popular than ever but not enough has been said about the fact that New York bornliving Latina legend Jennifer Lopez has returned to it. 'Amor, Amor, Amor' is joy personified in a song. We can't wait to see J.Lo perform this live.
Jae Stephens - 'Someone Else'
It's time to learn Jae Stephens' name. After wowing us with '24K' and 'Every Time', she's not done just yet. 'Someone Else' puts Jae's captivating voice front and centre over some understated production. A true superstar in the making. We officially stan.
Remy Ma - 'Wake Me Up (feat. Lil' Kim)'
Remy and Nicki's beef may be old news her rhymes are tight on this diss track and Kim sounds sublime.

Jason Derulo never fails to make a club-ready stone-cold banger and 'Tip Toe' is no exception.

Three songs in and Pale Waves have established themselves as one of UK pop's best acts.
Cupcakke- 'Cartoons'
With every single, Cupcakke's bars get tighter and wittier. This could be her first chart hit.

The electro-funk duohavenever sounded better. A triumph.

Wiz shines on his latest trap masterpiece.
Albums
Taylor Swift - 'Reputation'
It's easy to forget that Taylor Swift is a brilliant songwriter, particularly when so much of her public persona centres around her celebrity friendships and relationships. 'Reputation' is littered with countless references to her public feuds but the albumis at its best when it puts pettiness aside and gets personal. 'Delicate', 'Getaway Car' and 'New Year's Eve' are all stunning, 'Dancing With Our Hands Tied' is pop perfection and 'Don't Blame Me' features the vocal performance of her career. A must listen.
