On this week's Billboard Pop Shop Podcast, Katie & Keith are chatting through the 2026 Grammy nominations, starting with the Big Four categories (album, record and song of the year, plus best new artist), and continuing with our pop-focused musings down the list. Question No. 1: Why is "Golden" -- the breakout hit from Netflix's musical juggernaut KPop Demon Hunters -- nominated in the song of the year category but not record of the year? With its sky-high vocals courtesy of the real-life women behind the animated K-pop groiup HUNTR/X (EJAE, Audrey Nuna and REI AMI) and its electric, inescapable electronic production, it feels tailor-made for the category honoring the recording of a song.

On the new Billboard Pop Shop Podcast, Katie & Keith are chatting about Ariana Grande kicking off the 'Wicked: For Good' press tour by sitting down with Evan Ross Katz on his 'Shut Up Evan' podcast. In the 45-minute-plus conversation, Katz asks what Grande's relationship is with mentorship -- and that's when she shouts out the triumvirate of pop superstars. There's Madonna, who was "immediately very kind," Grande said. Then there's Beyoncé, who invited Ari to join her on a music video set early in her career ("she just was being kind"). Then there's Mariah Carey -- because "of course, Mariah."

On the new Billboard Pop Shop Podcast, Katie & Keith are talking about all the ways artists are carving out special moments for fans at their shows -- like Taylor Swift's acoustic set on Eras Tour or Kelly Clarkson's nightly Kellyoke cover in Las Vegas -- and why it's a win-win for everyone involved. The latest example: Jonas Brothers are maximizing the news cycle around their 20th-anniversary Greetings From Your Hometown Tour, which launched less than a month ago but has generated dozens of headlines about surprise guests, unexpected reunions and two brother trios joining forces.

A dream cast put on a live production of Jesus Christ Superstar at the Hollywood Bowl over this past weekend, when Cynthia Erivo as Jesus went toe-to-toe with Adam Lambert as Judas -- not to mention Hamilton's Philippa Soo as Mary Magdalene, John Stamos and Josh Gad sharing the role of King Herod, Raúl Esparza as Pontius Pilate and more legends of stage and screen.
Unfortunately for anyone who wasn't in the house Friday, Saturday or Sunday in Los Angeles, those are the only three nights planned for this star-studded cast -- but what if the show could go on? On the new Billboard Pop Shop Podcast, Keith tells Katie all about being in the house for the final night of the show and pitches the possibility of a live cast recording being released for all of us who have been watching every fan-shot clip on social media.

On the new Billboard Pop Shop Podcast, Katie & Keith are talking about why Justin Bieber's surprise "SWAG" album release made sense, what kind of sound he was going for on the project, and where it could end up on next week's Billboard 200 albums chart. Also on the show, Morgan Wallen’s I’m the Problem holds tight to No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart for an eighth straight week -- so how unusual is it for an album to spend its first two months on the chart at No 1? Plus, a KPop Demon Hunters track slays its way into the top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, while Drake makes a splashy debut with his new single “What Did I Miss?”
