Zayn Malik battling for victory in Billboard's 2016 star poll

Zayn Malik is battling it out with Rihanna in a poll run by Billboard to find the biggest star of 2016 so far.

The singer has enjoyed a huge start to the year, with his debut single 'Pillowtalk' reaching No.1 across the globe.

In the poll, the former One Direction man has - at the time of writing - just under 20% of the votes.

Only Rihanna is beating Malik, with the 'Work' star sitting on 24.76%.

Justin Bieber is third, while Fifth Harmony and Lady Gaga follow.

Malik meanwhile will release his debut album 'Mind of Mine' on March 25.

Speculation that the singer will support Bieber on his forthcoming UK tour, however, have been dismissed.

A rep for the Brit told Pressparty that a rumoured gig poster was fake.
