Pop Shop Podcast

P!nk is no stranger to using every inch of a concert venue, and she's going to be able to cover more ground than ever when she headlines the state-of-the-art Sphere venue in Las Vegas next fall. On the new Billboard Pop Shop Podcast, Katie & Keith are talking about the pop singer taking over Sphere next September and October and how she might bring her aerial performance to a venue that's more than 20 stories tall. And while we're on the subject of the Sphere, we also chat about Celine Dion popping up to play the air bass at two Metallica shows last week. Learn more about your ad choices.

My Chemical Romance scored their first No. 1 on the Billboard 200 this week thanks to their reissue of a 20-year-old album -- and they're hardly alone. Just this fall, we've seen three other top 10 reissues: The Beatles’ Rubber Soul 50th-anniversary edition (No. 4 re-entry, Oct. 17 chart), Mac Miller’s The Divine Feminine 10th-anniversary re-release (moving 159-10, also Oct. 17) and Beyoncé’s B’Day 20th-anniversary reissue (No. 8 re-entry, Sept. 19). Plus, Amy Winehouse’s Back to Black was reissued last month for its 20th anniversary and re-enters at No. 42 on the Billboard 200 this week. So why are all these classic albums flooding back? On the new Billboard Pop Shop Podcast, Katie & Keith are breaking it down. Plus, we're looking at some 2007 releases that could be looking at 20th-anniversary reissues next year.

Grammy first-round voting wrapped up last week, on Oct. 22, and 2027 nominations will arrive on Nov. 16 -- so it's a good time to take a closer look at next year's best new artist race and who might snag one of those coveted eight nomination slots. On the new Billboard Pop Shop Podcast, Katie & Keith are looking at some of the likeliest nominees, including Billboard Hot 100 record-setter Ella Langley and British songstress Sienna Spiro, and why one big name won't be included on Grammy ballots this year: newly minted pop hitmaker ADÉLA.

Starting with her very first episode of Hannah Montana back in 2006, Miley Cyrus became an almost-instant household name. In the two decades since, she's had a chameleonic career that slithers between genres and wins over new audiences along the way -- especially with her biggest hit yet, 2023's "Flowers," which spent eight weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and earned the star her first-ever Grammy. Over this past weekend, Cyrus made her return to live performing after years away with shows Friday and Sunday night at the Hollywood Bowl. But what should have been a celebration of her latest Billboard 200-topping album, September's Bass Persuades, ended up turning defensive when Cyrus had to spend a portion of Sunday's show responding to critics of Friday's concert. On the new Billboard Pop Shop Podcast, Katie & Keith are talking about the feedback Cyrus responded to and what can often be the blessing and curse of playing for an audience that has known you for so long and so well that they often measure you against your own unmatchable past performances.

This week, Taylor Swift and The Beatles are meeting up on the Billboard charts in more ways than one. First, both appear in the top 10 of the Billboard 200 albums chart, with Swift's The Life of a Showgirl spending its 14th week at No. 1 and The Beatles' deluxe edition of Rubber Soul arriving at No. 4 following its own stint up top in 1966. In addition, Swift's latest week at No. 1 on the chart means she and The Beatles are the only acts to ever spend 100 weeks in the Billboard 200 top spot (The Beatles have 132 weeks to Swift's now-100). On this week's Billboard Pop Shop Podcast, Katie & Keith are talking about some of the things these two superstar acts have in common across their respective eras and when Swift might reach (or surpass) some big Beatles landmarks, like their record 20 No. 1 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart.
