“I Feel So Free,” the new single from Madonna, tops this week’s fan-voted new music poll.
Listeners voted in a poll published Friday (April 18) on Billboard, choosing the iconic pop star’s latest single as their favorite new release this week.
“I Feel So Free” rose to the top of the poll during a week full of fresh pop arrivals, with new tunes from Olivia Rodrigo, Tyla feat. Zara Larsson, Lana Del Rey, sombr and more. At the poll’s closing time on Sunday, Madonna led the pack with 40% of the vote.
“I Feel So Free” debuted on iHeartRadio’s Pride station on Friday, and it arrived on streaming services — and with an official visualizer, seen above — following Madonna’s surprise appearance during Sabrina Carpenter’s Coachella set later that night. (Madonna and Sabrina sang two classics, “Vogue” and “Like a Prayer,” together at the festival in Indio, Calif.)
The track celebrates the comfort found in going out dancing: “It’s really hard for me to trust people/ Can you blame me?/ I never know what people like me/ That’s why I like to go dancing/ Safety in numbers/ That’s why I like to go dancing/ Safety in numbers,” Madonna sings in the chorus.
It’s the first single off of Madonna’s upcoming Confessions II album, the sequel to 2005’s Confessions on a Dance Floor. Confessions II is slated for a July 3 release via Warner Records.
Among the new releases trailing behind “I Feel So Free” are Olivia Rodrigo’s “Drop Dead,” with 31% of the vote, and Tyla feat. Zara Larsson’s “She Did It Again,” with nearly 16% of the vote. Lana Del Rey’s “First Light” and sombr’s “Potential” rounded out the top 5 picks.
