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 Troye Sivan, Remi Wolf, Slayyyter and Pitbull. This week, Olivia Rodrigo taps pal Chappell Roan for their “Expectations” remix; Tate McRae launches her next chapter with single “Housewife”; Zach Bryan returns with a new EP titled Young Manhood & Other Donatable Organs ; and Belgian artist Angèle releases her anticipated third album… plus much more. Check out all of this week’s picks below: Olivia Rodrigo, “Expectations (feat. Chappell Roan )” “ Ooh , Olivia does remixes now,” says Chappell with a touch of cheeky sarcasm at the start of O Rod’s reimagined “expectations” single. And while listeners have to wait a while to see or hear from Chappell again, boy is it worth it.

The cover art should have been indication enough — on it, Tate is pushing a baby carriage full of money — that her focus is on herself and her bag. She doesn’t need anyone else to provide, and for now, isn’t looking to provide for anyone else. — L.H. Zach Bryan, Young Manhood & Other Donatable Organs Zach Bryan, who in his relatively short career has paired with such artists as Bruce Springsteen, The War and Treaty, and Kacey Musgraves (on the 2023 Billboard Hot 100 chart-topping duet, “I Remember Everything”), continues his collaborative ways on Young Manhood and Other Donatable Organs . The eight-song EP, out now on Warner Records, follows With Heaven on Top , his 25-track opus that debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 in January. The singer-songwriter, whose lived-in, rugged vocals and intimate storytelling have captivated listeners, partners with Lana Del Rey on “Lies,” a yearning love song where he’d rather hear untruths if it means he and his love stay together, and “Plainsman” featuring the Turn
