Every week, Spotify updates their “New Music Friday” playlist, featuring 50 of the freshest new tracks hitting the service that week.
Billboard then taps Spotify’s editors each week to sift through the soon-to-be-hits and highlight the best of the bunch.
Check out the picks and list to the entire New Music Friday playlist below.
Justin Timberlake — “Can’t Stop the Feeling”

Ariana Grande — “Into You”
Ariana has been setting the bar higher for herself with every new track she releases, and ‘Into You’ is no exception. Prepare to break out your dancing shoes when her album, Dangerous Woman, comes out on May 20.
Muna — “So Special”
Muna is no stranger to the New Music Friday playlist, with previous tracks “Winterbreak” and “Loudspeaker” making their way onto the list in weeks past. The L.A. trio is releasing its debut EP this week, which includes two new tracks, “So Special” and “Promise.” If you like The 1975, you should check out Muna.
James Blake feat. Bon Iver — “I Need A Forest Fire”
