Dancing on the Wall by MUNA is This Week’s Top New Music


The new album Dancing on the Wall by MUNA tops this week’s best new music poll.

Listeners voted in a poll published Friday (May 8) on Billboard, selecting the LA indie-pop trio’s new record as their favorite music release of the week.

Dancing on the Wall rose to the top in a week that also featured Charli xcx‘s highly anticipated genre-shifting single “Rock Music,” new full-lengths from J Balvin and Ryan Castro, Lykke Li, Little Simz, and The Chainsmokers, plus new singles from The Last Dinner Party, PJ Morton, Ashley McBryde, and more.

This win marks a significant moment for MUNA, the trio of Katie Gavin, Naomi McPherson, and Josette Maskin, who return with their third studio album on Saddest Factory Records — their first release since their breakout 2022 self-titled record. That album broke through to mainstream audiences thanks to the Phoebe Bridgers collaboration “Silk Chiffon” and earned widespread critical acclaim. Dancing on the Wall finds the band continuing to evolve their signature brand of euphoric, emotionally direct indie pop, with the title track emerging as one of the year’s most immediate and danceable releases so far.

In second place, Charli xcx’s “Rock Music” marked a deliberate departure from the Brat-era sound that defined her 2024 commercial breakthrough.

“If I’d made another album that felt more dance-oriented, it would have felt really hard, really sad,” she told British Vogue in April ahead of the single’s release. “What’s interesting for me is to bend the possibilities of what my perspective on that could be.” The single arrives ahead of a still-unannounced new album.
