Although Funk Generation just missed the lead on Billboard‘s weekly new Latin music poll results, Anitta‘s new album is triumphant in topping this week’s new music poll that features artists in various genres of music.
Music fans voted in a poll published Friday (April 26) on Billboard, choosing Anitta’s Funk Generation as their favorite new music release of the past week.
The new set from Anitta brought in more than 50% of the vote on this poll, securing a notable edge ahead of new releases from Normani and Gunna, Tems, PARTYNEXTDOOR and more.
The veteran Brazilian star pumps up the funk on her sixth studio album, which has her singing in Spanish, Portuguese and English. The collection features singles including “Funk Rave” and “Joga Pra Lua,” and has Sam Smith guesting on vocals for “Ahi.”
Anitta has mapped out a tour in support of Funk Generation, the Baile Funk Experience Tour, a global trek that includes the singer’s first-ever North American leg: there will be stops in Los Angeles, Miami, Orlando, Boston, Toronto, Chicago and New York. Find the latest tour information on Anitta’s official website.
Trailing behind Funk Generation on this week’s poll is Normani’s team-up with Gunna for “1:59,” with 23% of the vote. The track is set to appear on her long-awaited album Dopamine, out June 14.
