The Great Divide, the new album from Noah Kahan, tops this week’s fan-voted new music poll.

Listeners voted in a poll published Friday (April 24) on Billboard, choosing the Vermont singer-songwriter’s latest full-length release as their favorite this week.

The Great Divide led the way in a week that also saw new music streaming in from Kehlani, Hayley Kiyoko and Gigi Perez, Suki Waterhouse and more. At the poll’s closing time on Sunday, Kahan reached the summit with 60% of the vote.

Arriving four years after breakout album Stick Season, the folk-rock artist’s The Great Divide made its official debut on Friday. Kahan’s new 17-track set was preceded by its title track, “The Great Divide,” which has become his highest-charting hit so far on Billboard‘s Hot 100 songs chart. (The song reached No. 6 in February upon its release.)

Kahan co-produced The Great Divide with Gabe Simon as well as Aaron Dessner — whose Long Pond Studio in upstate New York became the setting where Kahan recorded part of the new album.
