Who holds the lead in the Hot 50 World Songs October 2026 poll with 52,321 votes. Like Crazy holds second place with 36,107 votes. The gap between first and second place is 16,214 votes. Voting continues with 47 hours remaining before the poll closes on October 31 at 14:59 KST.
The 16,214-vote margin is substantial. The poll has recorded 173,335 total votes across all options so far. Who alone holds just over 30 percent of all votes cast. Like Crazy holds just over 20 percent. Between them, these two songs account for about 51 percent of every vote in this poll.
With 47 hours remaining, Who's lead is large enough that the outcome for first place appears secure. The real competition is below first place. Like Crazy currently holds second place with 36,107 votes while Made To Love holds third place with 34,997 votes. The gap between second and third is only 1,110 votes. This extremely small margin means the race for second place is still very active. Either Like Crazy or Made To Love could hold second position when voting closes.
For Made To Love to reach second place, it would need to gain 1,111 votes while Like Crazy either stays flat or loses votes. With nearly two days of voting remaining, this is entirely possible. The 1,110-vote gap is small enough that normal voting variations could shift the ranking at any time during the final hours of the poll.
The gap from Made To Love in third to FRI(END)S in fourth is much larger at 21,000 votes. This shows that the top three songs are running their own race separate from the rest of the field.
