Third time's not the charm for the multifaceted Yaya Bey whose "sir princess bad bitch" single comes in dead last this go-round. She previously made the top-10 in June 2022 with "keisha". Her third album, Ten Fold, drops May 10th.

Born in Uganda, raised in Newcastle, and now London-based, singer-songwriter Victor Ray started his journey busking on the cold streets of England. Thanks to the power of TikTok, clips of his performances gained him over 3 million followers and a billion impressions, which helped fuel two self-released EPs last year. Halfway There is the second single released under his new deal with Decca/Universal.

Someone should do a case study on Pulse's aversion to male voices. They tend to hate them in general when it comes to rankdowns and Tank is one of the biggest offenders.

It could also be generational.

Cassandra Kouremenos grew up in a Greek family in the Park Extension area of Montreal. While studying psychology at McGill University, she began posting cover songs online in 2014, catching the attention of her future manager. From there, she started releasing original music in 2016, opting to pursue a career in music over a master's degree, and has independently released three EPs over the last eight years. QUIET TYPE is her first release of 2024 with her debut album expected by year's end.

Machinedrum is the alias attributed to American electronic musician Travis Stewart, who has also released material as Syndrone, tstewart, Neon Black, and Aden. Initially credited as Machine Drum, he was one of the primary exponents of glitch-hop during the early 2000s, with acclaimed albums such as 2001's Now You Know and 2004's Bidnezz finding common ground between hip-hop rhythms and the tightly programmed experimental electronic sounds of IDM. Over the last two decades, he's released countless projects along with producing for/collaborating with the likes of Azealia Banks, Roses Gabor, Dawn Richard, Mykki Blanco, Tkay Maidza, Freddie Gibbs and more. His most recent production credits were for three tracks on Tinashe's 2023 project BB/ANG3L. She returns the favor with ZOOM, the first single from his new album - 3FOR82 - out May 24th.

It's also Tinashe's 8th top-10 overall; her only miss was with her feature on DIXSON's Heat which peaked at #12 in August 2021.
