\n\tThe Core, XG<\/a>\u2018s first full-length album, tops this week\u2019s fan-voted music poll.<\/p>\n

\n\tMusic fans voted in a poll published Friday (Jan. 23)\u00a0on\u00a0Billboard<\/a>, choosing the Japanese vocal group\u2019s fresh arrival as their favorite new drop.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Core arrived in a week that also saw new music streaming in from two former One Direction members \u2014 Louis Tomlinson and Harry Styles, with separate solo releases (an album for Tomlinson and a single for Styles) \u2014 plus Arctic Monkeys, Fred Again.. and Young Thug and more. XG ultimately held steady in the lead, bringing in more than 50% of the vote.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Core is a long-awaited collection from XG, one that their team described via press statement as \u201ca defining artistic statement\u201d for the Japanese seven-piece upon its release. The group (Jurin, Chisa, Hinata, Juria, Cocona, Maya and Harvey)\u2019s new single from the 10-track album, the song \u201cHypnotize,\u201d was accompanied by a music video on Friday.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn an interview about XG in the fall, executive producer JAKOPS (SIMON) told\u00a0Billboard Japan<\/a>\u00a0that the goal with The Core was to \u201ccreate the greatest record in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

XG will soon hit the road for a tour in support of The Core, kicking things off in early February in Yokohama, Japan.<\/p>\n

\n\tAmong the new releases trailing behind The Core are Louis Tomlinson\u2019s How Did I Get Here? album (with 46% of the vote) Harry Styles\u2019 single \u201cAperture\u201d (with 2% of the vote).<\/p>\n
