Freya Skye's single "Bad Taste" has won Billboard's weekly new music poll, securing the top spot ahead of major artists including ROSÉ, Miley Cyrus, Carly Rae Jepsen and Riley Green. The singer-songwriter and actress, known for her role in Disney's Zombies franchise, received overwhelming support from listeners, demonstrating considerable momentum for her emerging music career. This poll result indicates strong fan engagement with her work as she develops her distinctive pop sound.

The track claimed 82% of the vote in the poll published on 18 September, with ROSÉ's "New Trick" trailing significantly behind at 14%. "Bad Taste" is a playful pop song about dating mishaps and attraction to problematic situations, with Skye lightheartedly addressing her own romantic poor choices. Though the full recording only recently released, Skye had previously performed an acoustic version at her maiden headlining concert in New York City in December, describing the emotional vulnerability of that performance. The song is not expected to feature on her debut album, but Skye hopes it will generate excitement for the next phase of her musical direction.
