It’s that time of year – the Billboard Fan Army Face-Off for 2026 has begun.
Each year, fan armies for 64 different artists compete to answer the question: which artist has the strongest fan army?
Last year, after millions of votes, A’TIN secured victory for SB19, capturing 60% of the vote in the finals round. But 2026 is a new year and a fresh slate. The title of winner is anyone’s to take. Round 1 of Billboard’s Fan Army Face-Off kicks off Wednesday (July 15) and goes until July 22 at noon ET, at which point Round 2 begins.
This year, fan armies for 64 artists, from A-Z, are in play for the crown: Addison Rae, aespa, Anitta, Ariana Grande, ATEEZ, Bad Bunny, Bebe Rexha, Benson Boone, Beyoncé, Billie Eilish, BINI, BLACKPINK, Brandon Lake, Bruno Mars, BTS, Cardi B, Chappell Roan, Charli xcx, Chris Brown, CORTIS, Drake, Ella Langley, ENHYPEN, Gracie Abrams, Harry Styles, Hilary Duff, HUNTR/X, Jelly Roll, Justin Bieber, Karol G, KATSEYE, Kehlani, Kendrick Lamar, Lady Gaga, Lana Del Rey, LE SSERAFIM, Madonna, Mariah Carey, Megan Moroney, Megan Thee Stallion, Melanie Martinez, Miley Cyrus, Morgan Wallen, Mrs. GREEN APPLE, Noah Kahan, Olivia Dean, Olivia Rodrigo, P1HARMONY, Rihanna, Riley Green, Sabrina Carpenter, SB19, Selena Gomez, SEVENTEEN, Slayyyter, sombr, Stray Kids, SZA, Tate McRae, Taylor Swift, TOMORROW X TOGETHER, Twenty One Pilots, TWICE and Zara Larsson.

With their 2025 victory, SB19’s A’TIN tied T-ara’s Queens for the all-time Fan Army Face-Off victory record, winning three times (all consecutively); T-ara previously won Billboard‘s Fan Army Face-Off from 2015-2017.
