According to results shared this week by Billboard, XG has landed a clear win in the outlet’s latest fan poll following the release of their debut studio album, The Core. The project’s lead material finished first among several high-profile releases, earning more than half of the total reader votes.
The poll, which invites fans to choose their favorite new music of the week, showed immense engagement around the group’s first full-length effort. Lead tracks like “Hypnotize” and “GALA” helped the group pull ahead of new music from global heavyweights, signaling a massive shift in fan attention toward XG’s self-defined “X-POP” genre.
Billboard noted that the poll reflects direct fan participation rather than editorial ranking. What this really means is simple: the “ALPHAZ” fan base showed up in record numbers to support the album during its crucial opening window. This data suggests that XG’s appeal is transitioning from niche viral success to a dominant global force.
