The first week of March has been pretty great for new music releases, and it’s given us several songs we’ll be listening to all year long. From Lady Gaga and Bishop Briggs to Jennie and Dua Lipa, many of our favorite artists rocked our world with amazing new tracks this week.

After a lot of anticipation, Lady Gaga’s long-awaited album Mayhem finally hit the shelves this Friday – and it was worth the wait! It marks an epic return to form for the singer who never feared to experiment with different genres and styles, and we singled out “Garden of Eden” as one of its best new songs.

Speaking of new albums, Jennie is the latest member of Blackpink to share her solo album Ruby with the world, and  “Handlebars” ft. Dua Lipa is its buzziest new song. The indie rock singer Sasami also impressed us with her new LP Blood on the Silver Screen and made it to our list with “I’ll Be Gone”.

We’ve chosen to showcase many other amazing female artists on our list this week in celebration of International Women’s Day. Bishop Briggs has given us the defining girl power anthem of the week with her new song “Woman Is King” – and that’s just the beginning!
