Will BLACKPINK Bring Girl Groups Back to the Hot 100 Top 10 With ‘Pink Venom’?
BLACKPINK have been in our area since way back in 2016, but there are two areas they’ve yet to conquer: the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 and the very top of the Billboard 200 albums chart. On the new episode of the Billboard Pop Shop Podcast (listen below), Katie & Keith are wondering: Could “Pink Venom” be the quartet’s first Hot 100 top 10 hit? Previously, they’ve reached as high as No. 13, thanks to “Ice Cream,” their 2020 collab with Selena Gomez. Meanwhile, on the Billboard 200, their 2020 project The Album debuted and peaked at No. 2, but when Born Pink is released on Sept. 16, could it go all the way to the top?

‘Elvis’ Is the Third-Highest-Grossing Music Biopic Since the 1970s: Here’s the Top 25
After two months in theaters, Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis has grossed nearly $145 million in the U.S. and Canada, according to boxofficemojo.com. The film, starring Austin Butler as the King, Elvis Presley, is the third-highest-grossing music biopic in terms of domestic box-office (which the site defines as the U.S. and Canada) since the mid-1970s. Elvis has grossed nearly $270 million worldwide. In terms of global box-office, it’s No. 2, just behind Bohemian Rhapsody, the Oscar-winning 2018 biopic of Queen‘s Freddie Mercury. Here are the 25 top-grossing biopics of musicians in terms of domestic box-office. The films cover a wide range of genres. Pop/rock artists are the focus of eight the 25 films, followed by R&B (four); rap and traditional pop (three each); country, Latin and classic...

Everything old is new again on the Billboard charts, with a series of samples, features and remixes putting some legends back on top 40 radio. On Friday, Nicki Minaj released “Super Freaky Girl,” which prominently samples Rick James‘ 1981 top 20 Billboard Hot 100 hit “Super Freak.” Plus, Snoop Dogg is back in the Hot 100 top 10, thanks to Benny Blanco‘s “Bad Decisions” with BTS (No. 10), marking his fourth decade with a top 10 hit on the chart. And DJ Khaled‘s new song “Staying Alive” (No. 5), featuring Drake and Lil Baby, samples the Bee Gees‘ 1978 Hot 100 No. 1 “Stayin’ Alive” and puts the Brothers Gibb back in the top 10 as songwriters. Oh, and did we mention that Beyoncé and Madonna’s “Queens Remix” of “Break My Soul” (which samples Madonna’s own 1990 hit “Vogue”) contri...
All the Acts With Top 10 Billboard Hot 100 Hits in Four or More Decades
Never mind 15 minutes of fame. How about four or more decades? An elite 11 artists have achieved top 10 placements on the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart in four or more decades, led by Andy Williams and Michael Jackson, with top 10 ranks in five decades each. Williams extended his top 10 Hot 100 run (1950s, ’60s, ’70s, 2010s and ’20s) thanks to his holiday perennial “It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year,” while Jackson (1970s, ’80s, ’90s, 2000s and ’10s) most recently ranked in the region via his featured turn on Drake‘s “Don’t Matter to Me” in 2018. (Jackson also appeared in the top 10 for a week in the ’60s, although not as a soloist; The Jackson 5, with him as a member, first reached the bracket with “I Want You Back” on the chart dated Dec. 27, 1969.) In addition to Williams, four a...

Whitney Houston’s 20 Biggest Billboard Hits: A Look at Her Legendary Chart Career
The late Whitney Houston‘s legacy on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart is legendary. Her biggest single on the Hot 100 chart is her iconic “I Will Always Love You,” from the soundtrack to her 1992 film debut, The Bodyguard. The track spent a staggering 14 weeks atop the list and at the time was the longest-running No. 1 single in history. In celebration of what would have been her 59th birthday on Wednesday (Aug. 9), Billboard has compiled Houston’s top 20 Hot 100 singles, and unsurprisingly, “I Will Always Love You” tops the tally. It is followed by the buoyant “I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me),” which was her fourth of 11 career No. 1s on the list. All 11 of her No. 1 hits are present on the recap (below) and also happen to comprise the entire top 11. Whit...
Olivia Newton-John’s Top 20 Biggest Billboard Hits
Pop icon Olivia Newton-John — who died at the age of 73 on Monday (Aug. 8) — logged an incredible catalog of hits on Billboard’s charts. She claimed nearly 40 entries on the Billboard Hot 100 — including five No. 1s. Newton-John’s all-time biggest hit on the Hot 100 is “Physical,” which spent a whopping 10 weeks at No. 1 on the tally in late 1981 and early 1982. It’s not only her biggest hit, but also the No. 1 hit of the entire 1980s decade — it tops Billboard‘s Greatest of All Time Songs of the ’80s chart — and scored the most weeks atop the weekly Hot 100 of any song that decade. The four-time Grammy Award winner made her Hot 100 debut with “If Not for You” in 1971 and was last on the list in 2010, when the Glee Cast took its c...
The 12 Spiciest Musician ‘Hot Ones’ Episodes, From Lil Nas X to Dave Grohl
If you’re a pop culture fan, there’s no doubt that you’ve heard of “the show with hot questions and even hotter wings,” also known as Hot Ones, which is hosted and was co-created by popular YouTube personality Sean Evans. For those who aren’t familiar with the First We Feast and Complex Media series, in each episode, Evans and a celebrity guest eat ten chicken wings or vegan substitutes, with each wing prepared with a progressively hotter hot sauce. Meanwhile, the celebrity will answer thoughtful and well-researched questions from Evans while trying to keep it cool amid the heat. Hot Ones has been putting celebrities’ taste buds to the test since 2015, and with more than a hundred interviews on the First We Feast YouTube channel, it’s hard to know where to start. To make things easier, we ...
Beyoncé’s ‘Renaissance’ Controversies, From Kelis Sample to Lyric Changes
Beyoncé’s highly anticipated Renaissance release was full of excitement and dancefloor-ready hits, but did not come without its share of drama. Throughout her seventh album’s rollout, Bey has navigated an unexpected leak, frustrations over interpolations, shade about the number of songwriters credited on the tracks due to those interpolations and post-release lyric changes due to the use of offensive language in the song “Heated.” And while there were a few bumps in the journey, it’s still smooth sailing for Queen Bey, as Renaissance is heading for a No. 1 debut on the Billboard 200 albums chart with one of the biggest weeks of the year. If it opens atop the chart, it will be the first album released by a woman in 2022 to hit No. 1. All six of her solo studio albums also deb...
