Watt’s hit list of songs he either co-wrote or co-produced also includes Dua Lipa’s “Break My Heart,” Camila Cabello and Shawn Mendes’ “Señorita” and 5 Seconds of Summer’s “Youngblood” — not to mention the bulk of Miley Cyrus’ latest album Plastic Hearts and the entirety of Ozzy Osbourne’s last album, Ordinary Man.

On the Pop Shop Podcast, Watt not only discusses how the seed for “Peaches” was planted, but also how Cyrus’ “Midnight Sky” (a track he co-wrote and co-produced) found its way to S...

Nick Jonas on Billboard Music Awards Hosting Gig, Seeing BTS ‘Do Their Thing’ & ‘Feeling Great’ After Injury
That’s a tall order, but Jonas is up to the challenge when he hosts the 2021 Billboard Music Awards for the very first time this weekend. In a new interview with the Pop Shop Podcast (listen below), the musician/actor talks about what the BBMAs mean to him, whose performances he’s looking forward to, what surprises he has in store, and how he’s doing following his on-set injury over the weekend. Why the BBMAs are a big deal: “I think the Billboard Awards are special to an artist because it sort of encapsulates your chart achievement, and it’s always an artist’s dream to be on the Hot 100 or the Billboard 200. These are things that you dream about as a kid and you grow up — I did, at least — reading Billboard magazine and loving seeing th...
Michael Rapaport Remains Willfully Tone-Deaf As Van Lathan & Rachel Lindsay Explain Harmful Images of Black People
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Nicky Nelson/WENN.com / WENN Someone should give Higher Learning podcast hosts Van Lathan and Rachael Lindsay a humanitarian award for their valiant attempt to get through the thick skull of Michael Rapaport about his penchant to post violent videos of Black people on his social media. Be clear. We said it was an attempt, not a success story. According to Bossip. Lathan attempted to level with Rapaport about why posting the violent content is damaging to the Black community, “On my social media, I don’t post any of these videos. I post no videos of violence. No videos of violence against Black people, no police beatings. I didn’t post the Goerge Floyd video,” Lathan calmly explains. “I post none of that. The reason I don’t post any of that stu...

The Weeknd & Ariana Grande Bring Years of Musical History to ‘Save Your Tears’ Remix
On the new Pop Shop Podcast, we talk about why the duo are a perfect match, from “Love Me Harder” through their latest team-up. When The Weeknd and Ariana Grande started teasing their new “Save Your Tears” remix last week, fans of both artists already knew it would be a perfect fit. The duo linked up early in their careers, on Grande’s second studio album My Everything, for the Billboard Hot 100 No. 7-peaking hit “Love Me Harder” in 2014. Then just last year, The Weeknd popped up on Grande’s latest album, Positions, for “Off the Table,” which is a top 40 Hot 100 hit without even being released as a single (yet). Now, Grande brings her ethereal vocals to a remix of “Save Your Tears” — already a top five Hot 100 hi...

Harry Connick Jr. on the ‘Thrill’ of His 15th Grammy Nod & Going It ‘Alone’ for New Album
He jokes, but in actuality, the New Orleans crooner now has three Grammy Awards to his name (he won again in 2002) and 15 total nominations — including one at Sunday’s show: best traditional pop vocal album for True Love: A Celebration of Cole Porter. While his first priority is making great music, Connick admits the nominations never get old. “I’m not really thinking about Grammys when I’m recording, but when Grammy time comes around, I think we all think about that and what an incredible thrill and honor it is,” he says. “So I pinch myself. It’s a really big deal.” Looking back on his early wins, Connick remembers just how massive Music’s Biggest Night truly felt back then. “You have to understand, that was before cell pho...

For the 10-year anniversary, Jessie J got on a video call with the Billboard Pop Shop Podcast to talk all about the making of the album, scoring her first (and second) No. 1 hits in her native U.K., and a familiar face that popped up in her early music videos. Listen to the podcast below: She also has some great stories about writing “Do It Like a Dude” with Rihanna in mind but keeping the aggressive anthem for her first U.K. single instead (“I just remember seeing the complete split of ‘I love her’/’I hate her’ [when it debuted] … I loved the extremity”) and writing what would become one of Miley Cyrus’ biggest hits. “‘Party in the USA’ put my foot in the door as a credible artist that can write songs, and that ...
