“Bella,” featuring “Mood” star 24KGoldn, recalls the club-ready rhythmic pop from the late 2000s — there’s even a lyrical nod to Rihanna’s “Umbrella” — while also sporting plenty of hooks that both work within a whole and are ready to be broken down, potentially consumed in bite-sized snippets.

Placing second on the past week’s tally with 18% of the vote was Lavigne’s new single “Love It When You Hate Me.” The track, featuring producer-songwriter Blackbear, will appear on Lavigne’s upcoming seventh studio album, Love Sux, which is schedule for release on Feb. 25 through Travis Barker’s DTA Records.

The 12-track collection will feature collaborations with Lavigne’s pal Machine Gun Kelly on the song “Bois Lie,” as well as Blink-182 bassist-singer Mark Hoppus on “All I Wanted.” It marks Lavigne’s first new collection of songs since 2019’s confessional Head Above Water.
