Louis Tomlinson‘s latest solo album, Faith in the Future, has topped this week’s new music poll.
Music fans voted in a poll published Friday (Nov. 11) on Billboard, choosing Faith in the Future as their favorite new music release of the past week.
Tomlinson’s latest release brought in more than 62% of the vote, beating out new music by Wizkid, Bruce Springsteen, Rihanna and more.
Although he unfortunately kicked off release week for his new album with a broken arm and some rescheduled appearances, Tomlinson dropped his sophomore solo album on Friday. The 14-track LP features lead single “Bigger Than Me,” “Out of My System” and “Silver Tongues.”
“I think this record, every song is about something slightly different But I think there is something, there’s the element of change that keeps coming back. There’s definitely a lot of nostalgia in there, because I’ve been thinking about getting older and all that kind of thing. So I think there is a kind of invisible concept that ties it all together, if you know what I mean,” he told Billboard of the pop/rock-oriented collection of songs.
In comparison to his first solo album, Walls, Tomlinson noted, “I think that was a lot of me working out who I was coming out of the band. And it’s not to say I wasn’t true to myself in the band, but I was in that band and I was part of that band — it wasn’t just me. It took a second to me to work that development stage out, whereas I think I did have a clearer picture on this record.”
Trailing behind Tomlinson’s Faith in the Future on the fan-voted poll is Wizkid’s More Love, Less Ego — the Nigerian singer’s first follow-up to 2020’s Made in Lagos — with 33% of the vote.
