Tate McRae Carlijn Jacobs

“Housewife,” the just-released new single from Tate McRae, tops this week’s new music poll.

Listeners voted in a poll published Friday (Oct. 16) on Billboard, choosing McRae’s song about providing the life she wants to live herself, as their favorite new music.

The track rose above new releases from Olivia Rodrigo with Chappell Roan, Ashe, U2, Zach Bryan and more on the poll, landing a solid 51% of the vote by closing time on Sunday.

“Housewife” arrived on Friday, with the Canadian singer delivering a track she’s previously said is about “a woman who can’t be contained.”

“I just wanna make a lot of money, be my own housewife,” she sings. “You, you, you, you could be the one I’m calling honey/ Be my sex on the side/ You, you, you, you/ Acres of open stars, headlights of prеcious cars, life imitating art/ I, I, I, I, I just wanna make a lot of money, bе my own housewife.”

McRae shared lots of behind-the-scenes photos from the “Housewife” music video shoot on Sunday, noting on Instagram that she has “so many pics from this day” on her camera roll that “idek what to post!!!!!!!”

She’s slated to perform the song, which is expected to appear on her upcoming fourth studio album, at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show on Sunday night (Oct. 18).

Coming up behind “Housewife” on Billboard‘s poll are Olivia Rodrigo’s “Expectations” remix with Chappell Roan, with nearly 35% of the vote, followed by Ashe’s The Girl of Your Dreams album and U2’s new song “The Greatest Show on Earth.”
