00:06 We run down the new debuts on the Hot 100.
00:10 I thank you to the Grammy Museum

00:13 And we catch you up on everything you missed
00:16 at Lollapalooza.
00:17 (upbeat music)
00:19 Welcome to another week of Billboard News.
00:23 I'm Tetris Kelly.
00:24 It's Monday, August 7th.
00:25 And speaking of August, we've got an August D,
00:28 aka Suga, update.
00:29 Suga closes his August D tour
00:31 with some special BTS member appearances,
00:34 while Big Hit announces it's his time
00:36 to head to the military.
00:37 Hey, Army, we're here to update you on Suga.
00:41 Suga wrapped his tour with three days in Seoul
00:43 over the weekend, and Jungkook joined him for "Burn It."

01:21 They said in a statement,
01:22 "We would like to inform our fans
01:24 "that Suga has initiated the military enlistment process
01:27 "by applying for the termination
01:29 "of his enlistment postponement.
01:31 "We ask you for your continued love and support for Suga
01:34 "until he completes his military service and safely returns."
01:37 Suga said in a reverse lie,
01:39 "Let's see each other in 2025, okay?
01:42 "Please wait a little bit."
01:44 Don't worry, King, we'll be right here.
01:47 And it's Monday, so you know we gotta talk about the charts.
01:50 Morgan Wallen ties Harry Styles' record
01:52 when Travis Scott earns a pair of top 10s
01:55 thanks to some friends,
01:56 while Barbie's reach grows even more.
01:59 ♪ Baby, baby, something's telling me this ain't over yet ♪
02:04 Morgan Wallen's "Last Night" earns its 15th
02:06 non-consecutive week at number one on the Hot 100.
02:09 That ties Harry Styles' as it was
02:12 as the fourth longest run on top.
02:14 The only songs with longer runs are "Despacito,"
02:17 "One Sweet Day," and "Old Town Road."
02:19 Elsewhere on the top 10,
02:21 Travis Scott's collabs with Drake and Playboi Carti
02:24 claim numbers three and five.
02:26 And we gotta talk about Barbie.
02:28 It's been breaking records at the box office,
02:30 crossing the $1 billion mark,
02:32 but the album is seeing success on the charts as well.
02:35 Last week it debuted at number two on the 200,
02:38 while Dua Lipa's "Dance the Night"
02:40 lands at number 10 this week.
02:42 Ryan Gosling earns his first charting hit
02:44 with "I'm Just Kidding," which debuted at number 87.
02:49 ♪ I'm just kidding ♪
02:51 ♪ When I see the love she sees a friend ♪
02:54 And last week, Charli XCX's "Speed Drive"
02:56 became her first Hot 100 hit since 2014.
03:00 I love it when we can have a guest from the A,
03:02 and that's what happened when Ciara stopped by our studio.
03:05 ♪ It's just how we roll ♪
03:07 ♪ I know what it is, what it is ♪
03:10 - How we roll with Chris Brown,
03:11 I mean, the vibe of the song so far,
03:13 I mean, just love, summer, all the things.
03:16 So tell me about creating this track.
03:17 - On this record, "How We Roll," it is a great example.
03:20 It's that feel-good R&B dance, you know, rhythmic,
03:24 just like melodic energy that you can play at a house party.
03:27 Someone said the house party off right.
03:29 And then of course, Breezy and I coming together.
03:31 This has been something that we wanted to do
03:33 for a long time.
03:34 It was, I would say, an artist's dream come true
03:36 for the both of us.
03:37 And our fans have told us that they wanted this
03:39 for a long time, so we're like,
03:40 we gotta make this happen.
03:41 And the moment and song couldn't be any better.
03:43 ♪ It's just how we roll ♪
03:45 ♪ Oh, yeah ♪
03:47 ♪ It's how we, how we ♪
03:49 - One thing I wanted to ask you,
03:50 'cause I always think about this from the other side,
03:53 is that like black Twitter, okay?
03:54 That's what we call it, black Twitter.
03:56 And I feel like whether they're discussing future
03:59 or your amazing relationship with Russell,
04:00 or they throw the kids in it,
04:01 anytime any of you do something, it's a three-day debate.
04:04 Everybody's got think pieces going.
04:06 Do you read any of that stuff?
04:08 Do y'all laugh about it?
04:09 Do y'all like, did you see what these people
04:10 talking about today?
04:11 - Well, remember I said, "Sierra, she keeps it cute."
04:14 And you know, up there, Cece, you know,
04:16 sometimes she wanna, you know, say a couple things.
04:19 I think what we always say in life is, you know,
04:21 keep the main thing the main thing, you know?
04:22 So for me, that's always my philosophy.
04:25 I'm always focused on joy.
04:27 It is a little bit of that unbothered energy.
04:29 - For the full interview, head to Billboard.com.
04:33 Festival season has almost come to a close,
04:35 but we had one of the biggest ones over the weekend.
04:38 Lollapalooza was four days of epic music in Chicago,
04:42 and the place to be if you wanted to see
04:44 some of your favorite artists.
04:46 (singing in foreign language)
04:50 Carol G got the crowd going,
04:54 headlining night one of the festival,
04:56 while on the other side of the grounds,
04:57 Billie Eilish tore up her set.
04:59 It was a big weekend for K-pop, too.
05:02 ♪ I'm super shy, super shy ♪
05:04 ♪ But wait a minute while I'm making my, making my ♪
05:07 - New jeans made their US debut
05:09 to the delight of their bunnies,

05:23 and Sabrina Carpenter were in the house.

05:26 Maddie Healy and the 1975 brought their signature style
05:30 on day two, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers
05:32 closed out the weekend with an epic performance.
05:35 I'm still recovering from an epic weekend of Taylor Swift,
05:38 and don't worry, I took our cameras along for the ride.
