\n\t\u201cEach song on this record explores a different trap set by the kind of evil, patriarchal energy that is HADES. It isn\u2019t about predicting a dystopian future,\u201d she explains in a statement announcing the new collection. \u201cIt\u2019s about recognizing destructive patterns that already exist. The same dynamics repeating in different places. Control disguised as protection. Cruelty framed as logic. Exploitation sold as opportunity. Once you start noticing those threads, it becomes hard to ignore them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Following its release last month, \u201cPOSSESSION\u201d was by some distance the favorite new cut of the week, as chosen by readers of Billboard.com<\/a>. Also, the track debuted with more than 2.7 million Spotify streams in its first 24 hours and has surpassed 10 million to date, according to reps at Warner Music. It\u2019s now Martinez\u2019s fastest-streaming release and the biggest female debut of 2026.<\/p>\n \n\tHADES is the followup to 2023\u2019s\u00a0Portals, which peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard 200, her third consecutive top 10 appearance on the chart.\u00a0Portals\u00a0went all the way to No. 1 on Australia\u2019s\u00a0ARIA Chart<\/a>. Her debut album from 2015,\u00a0Cry Baby, peaked at No. 6 on the Billboard 200, and her sophomore album from 2019, K\u201312, hit No. 3 on the all-genres tally.<\/p>\n \n\tMartinez burst into the public consciousness in 2012 as a contestant on season 3 of\u00a0The Voice. Although she didn\u2019t claim the crown, she\u2019s been winning ever since. Career streams top 30 billion, including upwards of 5.5 billion official YouTube views with more than 62 million followers across platforms.<\/p>\n \n\tMeanwhile, Cry Baby spawned the perfume of the same name, which was self-released the year after the album\u2019s release. It was a sell-out. Later, she partnered with Flower Shop Perfume on a perfume line, the first of which arrived in 2023 \u2014 with similar success to its predecessor.\u00a0<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/wp-content\/themes\/vip\/pmc-billboard-2021\/assets\/public\/lazyload-fallback.gif\")
