RAYE's 'Nightingale Lane' Soars to Victory in Fan-Voted Music Poll
RAYE's new single, "Nightingale Lane," has captured the hearts of fans, topping this week's fan-voted music poll with over 43% of the vote. This victory signals a promising start for her upcoming album, This Music May Contain Hope.
“Nightingale Lane,” the latest offering from RAYE, has clinched the top spot in this week’s fan-voted music poll. The song garnered significant attention and support from listeners.
Fans made their voices heard in a poll published on Friday, February 27th, on Billboard, selecting RAYE’s recently released ballad as their favorite new track of the week.
"Nightingale Lane" debuted amidst a flurry of new music releases from prominent artists, including BLACKPINK and Bruno Mars. RAYE's emotive ballad resonated strongly with voters, surpassing BLACKPINK’s new DEADLINE EP, which secured second place. As the poll concluded on Sunday, RAYE maintained a steady lead, with her ballad capturing 43% of the total vote.
"Nightingale Lane" serves as a preview of RAYE’s forthcoming sophomore album, This Music May Contain Hope, slated for release on March 27th via Human Re Sources. The release was accompanied by a video showcasing a captivating live performance at Abbey Road Studios, backed by a full orchestra.
"I guess I’m in the process of making medicine for myself that I can share with the world," RAYE stated in a press release announcing the LP. "I want us all to say to ourselves that it’s going to be all right, and I’m going to have faith in the seeds that I’ve planted beneath the snow. I wanted to create something that is a hug, bed or soft place for that person who needs it."
At the 2026 BRIT Awards, held in Manchester, England, on Saturday, February 28th, RAYE showcased her versatility with a performance that blended “WHERE IS MY HUSBAND!” with her new ballad.
Following closely behind “Nightingale Lane” in the poll results were BLACKPINK’s DEADLINE EP, Bruno Mars’ The Romantic album, and Towa Bird’s single “Gentleman.”
