Hilary Duff's Comeback Wins Over Fans as New Music Easily Tops Billboard Poll

Is it “luck… or something” else that helped Hilary Duff reclaim the music spotlight?

Her highly anticipated new album dropped on Friday, Feb. 20, along with a new music video for the first song off the LP, “Weather for Tennis” (see below). And it’s clear that “luck… or something” lived up to the hype — at least, that’s according to Billboard’s latest fan-voted poll.

Fans voted in a poll published Friday on Billboard and chose the actress/singer’s return to pop music as their favorite release of the week, the music magazine noted on Sunday, Feb. 22. Duff, 38, came in at 64% of the votes, easily winning the tally over Megan Moroney, Baby Keem, SZA, Ty Dolla $ign and more.

“Here’s that question of whether women can have it all, and through this process I learned I had to sacrifice some things in order to put the record first,” Duff said in a statement regarding her latest album release, per Billboard. “As hard as that is, I still believe it’s okay to choose yourself sometimes and do what scares the hell out of you. carving out the time to make an album after all these years was incredibly powerful for me, and now I can’t wait to share it with the world.”

Earlier this month, the Lizzie McGuire star announced she is going on a world tour that begins this summer in Florida. She’ll leave for Europe after the U.S., hit Australia, Canada, then Mexico City. The world tour is expected to end in February 2027, according to Variety.
