\n\t\u201cDanceteria Afterhours,\u201d which has Madonna<\/a> teaming up with Charli xcx<\/a>, tops this week\u2019s new music poll<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tListeners voted in a poll published Friday (Sept. 25)\u00a0on\u00a0Billboard<\/a>, choosing the club-ready collab as their favorite new music. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe \u2018afterhours\u2019 mix of Madonna\u2019s \u201cDanceteria,\u201d a track that dropped this week<\/a> following the July release of her Confessions II album, closed down the poll with 63% of the vote on Sunday \u2014 so, yeah, Billboard readers \u201cwanna talk about Madonna and Charli.\u201d It topped new releases from Taylor Swift, Tinashe, Maren Morris with Michelle Branch and more.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cDanceteria Afterhours\u201d lines up two artists\u2019 origin stories: the new spin adds verses from Charli to Madonna\u2019s original recording for Confessions II, swirling her club history in London and L.A. in with Madonna\u2019s New York City lore.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI\u2019m sweet fifteen in a weird outfit\/ Got invited to perform at this party through Myspace\/ First time ever at a party in London\/ I\u2019m kinda nervous, kinda scared\/ On a makeshift stage playing songs from my iPod,\u201d Charli recounts of her club kid days circa 2007; later, she shifts ahead to 2015: \u201cLinked up with A. G. and SOPHIE\/ Took a flight to L.A.\/ Where PC Music did Pop City\/ This new place has a lot of new things\/ Different DJs, flavoured cocaine\/ Found myself through the songs I wrote\/ And the songs I wrote are how we start the party.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tConfessions II launched at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart in July, marking the star\u2019s first No. 1 LP of the 2020s. Charli xcx\u2019s Music, Fashion, Film debuted at No. 3 on the chart in August.<\/p>\n

\n\tTrailing behind \u201cDanceteria Afterhours\u201d on\u00a0Billboard\u2018s poll this week are Taylor Swift\u2019s The Life of a Showgirl: The Encore release (a version of the Showgirl album with four bonus tracks, led by the single \u201cPatient Zero\u201d), with 27% of the vote. Tinashe\u2019s new Popstar album follows, with almost 3% of the vote.<\/p>\n
