Which New Music Release Is Your Top Pick This Week? Vote Now!

Despite August being just past its midpoint, the month is already brimming with major music drops — which one stood out to you this week?
Topping the list is Cardi B’s new single Imaginary Playerz, offering a glimpse of her forthcoming album Am I the Drama? in a lavish, cinematic music video. On the fiery track, the Bronx-bred rapper flexes her wealth and trendsetting status, declaring, “Fixin’ y’all mouth to talk fashion with me / I’m the one who showed these girls what fashion could be.”
In hip-hop circles, Chance the Rapper dropped Star Line, his first full-length project in six years. The 17-track album features heavyweights Lil Wayne, Young Thug and Jazmine Sullivan, marking a high-profile successor to his 2019 release The Big Day.
That release is among a slew of albums that hit streaming platforms this week. Dijon’s Baby, Kaytranada’s Ain’t No Damn Way! and Jordan Davis’ Learn the Hard Way all premiered on August 15, while Conan Gray unveiled Wishbone a day earlier. Additionally, Olivia Dean returned with the stirring single “Man I Need,” reaffirming her status as one of pop’s brightest newcomers ahead of her sophomore album The Art of Loving, due October 1.
