For International Women’s Day(IWD), we asked those in the TOPNOTE team who identify as women to share a song that makes them feel seen or heard. We asked the contributors who identify as male to spotlight a female artist along with their favourite song/s.

Harry Styles has just announced his next album, ‘Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally’, sending the internet into a yellow-knit frenzy. To get us all prepared for HS4, we’re going back through the singer’s solo albums, counting down his best singles, covers, and hidden gems to date.

We’ve got 16 exciting bands, duos, and solo musicians to share on our Emerging Artist List, whether they’re on the cusp of a big break, or someone who should be on your radar as we move through the year. Find out who they are, and why TOPNOTE believes 2026 is going to be a grand old year for these musicians.

In 2026, we must stop belittling fangirls and fan communities as nothing more than manipulatable pawns, and acknowledge their very real power and influence over the music industry. For our first article of the year, TOPNOTE is spotlighting fans.
