00:25 I can't wait to get to our latest cover star,
00:27 but first let's get into Doja Cat and iSpice's new podcast.
00:31 - What do you consider as flirting on IG?
00:34 Hyping up in comments, liking your story.

00:39 - Oh my God, not me flirting with you.
00:41 I comment on everything.

01:02 They talk memes, fashion, beauty trends,
01:05 and yes, one day we could have the chance
01:07 to be on iSpice's Close Friends.
01:10 - How would someone make the cut
01:12 for your close friends list?
01:14 What's the checklist?
01:15 - The checklist would have to be,
01:17 we've met in person at least once.
01:21 - Okay.
01:21 - Yeah, that's about it.
01:22 - Well damn.
01:23 - Also one of my favorite bites came
01:25 when they were discussing Doja's music.
01:28 - What's the biggest misconception about you?
01:30 - That I'm unoriginal?
01:32 - I never hear that.
01:34 - There's a lot of people who think I like,
01:36 that I copy people.
01:38 - Well, you, I'm gonna clock you.
01:41 - I pull a lot from, copy the greats.
01:44 - Yeah.
01:45 - Head over to IG or your favorite streaming platform
01:47 to get even more of the juice.
01:50 Time to get to Carole G.
01:51 She's had an incredible year from sold out stadium tours
01:55 to a number one album, a Billboard Music Award,
01:58 and now the cover of Billboard.

03:44 Latin music is even bigger than ever.
03:47 We've seen hit after hit,
03:49 but what are the best Latin pop songs of this decade?
03:52 From Bad Bunny to Peso Pluma, Carole G to Becky G.
03:56 The 21st century has seen some of the best Latin music
03:59 and Billboard's staff have ranked
04:01 the 50 best Latin pop songs from 2000 to 2023.
04:06 Let's break down the top three.
04:07 (upbeat music)
04:13 At number three, we have Cafe Ta Cuba's 2004 hit, Eres.
04:17 (singing in foreign language)
04:21 The Mexican rock group earned
04:24 their first Latin pop airplay chart entry with Eres
04:27 and won the Latin Grammy for best rock song.
04:30 Next up is Enrique Iglesias' De Seme Bueno
04:33 and Gente de Zonas' Bailando at number two.
04:36 (singing in foreign language)
04:42 The 2013 hit blended pop, rap, and reggaeton perfectly
04:46 to peak at number one on the Hot Latin Songs chart
04:50 and held onto the position for 41 weeks.
04:53 (singing in foreign language)
04:57 But there's no denying what the number one Latin pop song
05:03 of this decade has been.
05:05 (singing in foreign language)
05:08 Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee's Despacito
05:12 spent a record-breaking 56 weeks
05:14 on top of the Hot Latin Songs chart
05:16 and when Justin Bieber hopped on the track,
05:19 it soared to the top of the Hot 100
05:21 where it spent 16 weeks.
05:22 (singing in foreign language)
05:26 It even tied the record at the time,
05:30 held by Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men's One Sweet Day.
05:34 For the full list of Latin hits, head to Billboard.com.
05:38 Those songs are always popping on TikTok,
05:40 but which songs are topping the charts this week?
05:42 Let's run it down.
05:43 Slayboy Carti returns to the top
05:45 while Mariah Carey inches her way closer to number one.
05:49 ♪ Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up ♪
05:51 ♪ It's the first of the month ♪
05:53 Slayboy Carti sky soars back to number one
05:55 on the TikTok Billboard Top 50
05:57 for the chart posting December 7th.
05:59 And while that may be thanks
06:00 to the first of the month lyrics,
06:02 December is time for Christmas.
06:04 ♪ I don't want a lot for Christmas ♪
06:07 The queen of Christmas climbed one step closer to the top
06:10 with All I Want for Christmas is You.
06:12 And Brenda Lee's rocking around the Christmas tree
06:14 jumped from 18 up to number nine.
06:16 ♪ Rockin' around the Christmas tree ♪
06:19 ♪ At the Christmas party hop ♪
06:22 Not bad for a 78-year-old holiday legend.
