Billboard’s Friday Music Guide serves as a handy guide to New Music Friday’s most essential releases each week — the key music that everyone will be talking about today, and that will be dominating playlists this weekend and beyond. Last week , we featured Taylor Swift, Tinashe, Madonna and Charli xcx and Kenny Chesney. This week, Noah Kahan’s lead single from The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping soundtrack arrives; Victoria Monét drops her highly-anticipated second album; and Miranda Lambert shares her country-meets-disco set, Crisco … plus much more.

Now, Drizzy has reloaded his R&B-tinged Habibti set with four new tracks , all of which he debuted in his FOMO short film on YouTube two weeks ago. Don Toliver pops up on “Solar Eclipse” and standout “Cold Shoulder,” which also features frequent collaborator Yebba. Is there really such a thing as too much Drake? — K.D. Lil Nas X, “World’s Greatest!” Montero is back — and aiming higher than ever, with a new single titled “World’s Greatest!” With a chorus that sounds like repeated mirror affirmations (“I’m a champion/ I’m a champion”), the verses seem to pull more from early-life diary entries about his upbringing, reminding him jus
