After a very rich year of 2025 musically-speaking, marked by album releases from Bad Bunny, Lady Gaga, The Weeknd, Rosalía, Addison Rae, as well as a duet between Doechii and SZA, 2026 promises some exciting surprises when it comes to new records and singles.
A$AP Rocky, Gesaffelstein and Madonna in the January 2026 playlist
The release of the soundtrack Stranger Things, season 5, kicked off on January 1st, 2026. The following day, the band Katseye dropped their new track, Internet Girl. On January 5th, rapper A$AP Rocky released a new single, Punk Rocky, along with a music video featuring actress Winona Ryder.
On January 9th, Madonna released a cover of La Bambola, a 1968 Italian song originally sung by Patty Pravo, for the Dolce & Gabbana fragrance campaign The One, of which she is the new face. That same day, Bruno Mars is making a big comeback with the track I Just Might, while the rock band Dry Cleaning is unveiling their new album, Secret Love. Other notable releases include tracks from Sault, Robyn, Sébastien Tellier, Morrissey, Ari Lennox, and a duet between Sam Quealy and Marlon Magnée.
A week later, on January 16th, singer Madison Beer will be in the spotlight with her new album, Locket, while rapper A$AP Rocky (again) releases his brand-new record, Don’t Be Dumb. And our only hope is that the album will feature a collaboration with Rihanna…

At the same time, producer Gesaffelstein will make waves with Enter The Gamma, while a new Megadeth opus is sure to delight metal fans.
