]]> Drake decided to take a short break from music following the release of his latest album For All the Dogs, but he’s going out on a high! In addition to debuting atop the Billboard 200 chart, this album also produced his 13th No. 1 hit in the US, setting several records along the way.

For All the Dogs hit the shelves on October 6, and easily climbed to the top of the Billboard 200 chart, with 402,000 album-equivalent units sold during its first week. With 13 No. 1 albums in the US, Drake is just one LP away from passing Jay-Z, but it will take some time before he comes even close to The Beatles with 19 No. 1 albums.

All of 23 tracks from For All the Dogs made it to the Billboard Hot 100 chart this week, with seven debuting in the top ten alone! “First Person Shooter” ft. J. Cole hit No. 1, becoming his 13th chart-leader, helping Drake tie Michael Jackson for the most No. 1 hits among solo male acts.

The success of For All the Dogs also helped Drake become the first act with over 300 Hot 100 entries (320) and set or extend several more records – most No. 1 debuts (nine), top five hits (41), top 10 hits (76), top 20 hits (132), and top 40 hits (199).

The list of artists taking part in this project got even longer this week, and it includes such artists as Madison Beer, Lauren Jauregui, X Ambassadors, and Allie X.

]]> Billboard spent over a decade honoring the contribution of female artists in the music industry with their “Women in Music” event. The list of this year’s honorees is here, and it includes Alanis Morissette, Nicki Minaj, and Brandi Carlile.

Morissette will receive the Icon Award for her extraordinary accomplishments in the music industry, joining the ranks of Aretha Franklin and Shania Twain. Minaj will be honored with a Game Changer Award, for becoming the first female artist with 100 appearances on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Brandi Carlile will receive the Trailblazer Award, for using her platform to speak out for underprivileged groups in society. They’ll be joined by Roc Nation chief operating officer Desiree Perez, who’ll collect the Executive of the Year Award.

These four trailblazing women may be honored for different reasons, but they all have at least one thing in common, according to Billboard editorial director Hannah Karp. “Billboard’s Women in Music is an annual opportunity for us to celebrate undeniably influential women from across the industry. This year, with honorees like Alanis Morisette, Brandi Carlile, Desiree Perez, and Nicki Minaj, we are excited to highlight a diverse group of women pushing limits and breaking boundaries,” Karp said in a statement.

This year’s Billboard “Women in Music” event will stream live from the Hollywood Palladium on December 12th, with Hayley Kiyoko serving as the host.

]]> Billboard Hot 100 is experiencing a huge shake-up this month, and it gave us another no. 1 hit that we should’ve seen coming. Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello topped the chart with their latest collaboration, “Señorita”.

The Hot 100 triumph of this song was a long time coming, but we seriously doubted if it’s ever going to happen. “Old Town Road” by Lil Nas X and Billy Ray Cyrus has been ruling the chart for 19 consecutive weeks, before finally being stopped by Billie Eilish’s “Bad Guy” last week.

It didn’t take long for that to change as the no. 1 spot now belongs to Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello – and they couldn’t be happier about it!

“I’m so excited about the success of ‘Señorita’ and thank you so much to our incredible fans who made this all a reality. We really put everything into this song and couldn’t have wished for more,” said Mendes in a statement.

Cabello echoed his words by thanking fans and said she’s happy to share this moment with Mendes. The duo previously collaborated on 2016 single “I Know What You Did Last Summer”.

Rolling Stone is getting ready to launch their own music charts and take on their biggest competitor.

This innovation was a long time in the making – ever since Penske Media Corp. became majority owner of Rolling Stone two years ago. Their CEO Jay Penske announced the news in a press release, and promised more transparent statistics with their newly-established charts.

“What’s imperative and exciting about our new Rolling Stone Charts is that it will present a transparent, granular and real-time quantification to accurately reflect listeners’ evolving interests and give insight into worldwide trends,” said Penske.

The first batch of Rolling Stone charts will see the light of day on May 13th, and here’s what you can expect from them:

Top 100 Songs – a daily chart that ranks the most consumed songs of the week

Top 200 Albums – a weekly chart that ranks the most consumed albums of the week

]]> Backstreet Boys are making a big comeback with their new studio album DNA and it’s already one of their biggest hits to date. The legendary boy band climbed to the top of Billboard 200 chart thanks to their latest record, after almost two decades without a no. 1 album.

DNA was released on January 23, but Backstreet Boys knew they have another hit on their hands long before it hit the shelves. Lead single “Don’t Go Breaking My Heart” proved to be one of their biggest success stories and the band even received their first Grammy nod since 2002 thanks to this catchy track.

DNA is the first album they released in six years, and each member poured their heart and soul into the final product. Kevin Richardson explained this record perfectly reflects who they are, and that’s why they decided to go with this symbolic title.

“We were able to bring all of our influences and styles into one coherent piece of work. These songs are a great representation of who we are as individuals and who we are as a group. It’s our DNA. We’re really proud of that,” said Richardson.

]]> Critics at the prestigious Billboard magazine recently made their picks for the best rock albums released in 2018, and the no. 1 spot didn’t really come as a surprise. The 1975 was one of the buzzed-about alternative bands of the year, and they topped this list with their third studio album.

A Brief Inquiry Into Online Relationships was released on November 30 to rave reviews and gave us several hit singles, including “Give Yourself a Try” and “Sincerity Is Scary.” It’s been barely a month since this album hit the shelves, but the band is already working on their follow-up.

Notes On A Conditional Form is scheduled for 31 May 2019 release and frontman Matty Healy said it contains some of the best lyrics he’s ever written. He admitted it’s a bit scary to release two albums back to back, but they’re doing it anyway!

“My only fear is that because I’ve put this umbrella over both albums, they’ll be perceived as intrinsically connected. But that was never my intention. I’m just making records. I’ve gotta always want to be making my masterpiece. Otherwise, what’s the point?” said Healy.

The 1975 might’ve dropped the most exciting rock album of the year, but it wasn’t the only one worth the listen. Mitski took the no. 2 spot with Be the Cowboy, while indie band Foxing finished third thanks to their latest album Nearer My God.

Billboard Critics’ Picks – Top 10 Rock Albums of 2018

  1. The 1975, A Brief Inquiry Into Online Relationships
  2. Mitski, Be the Cowboy
  3. Foxing, Nearer My God
  4. Twenty One Pilots, Trench
  5. Snail Mail, Lush
  6. Turnstile, Time & Space
  7. Lucy Dacus, Historian
  8. Underoath, Erase Me
  9. Soccer Mommy, Clean
  10. Florence + the Machine, High As Hope

]]> Meek Mill is back and ready to conquer the charts! His new album, Championships, claimed the top spot at Billboard 200 albums chart, becoming his second no. 1 studio recording in the US.

The rapper’s fourth album dropped on November 30, and it was met with universal acclaim. Some of the songs on Championships outline his experiences and issues with the social justice system, and several fellow rappers helped him get his message across.

Mill’s new album features collaborations with Cardi B, 21 Savage, and Drake, which came as a pleasant surprise since the two stars weren’t on the best of terms in the past. The Canadian rapper worked on a song Going Bad, which was described as the high point of this album.

When it comes to Billboard Hot 100, Ariana Grande returned to the top with her empowering break-up anthem Thank U, Next. This song had the best streaming week for a female artist thanks to a rom-com inspired music video she dropped on November 30.

]]> Backstreet Boys are making a big comeback with their new studio album DNA and it’s already one of their biggest hits to date. The legendary boy band climbed to the top of Billboard 200 chart thanks to their latest record, after almost two decades without a no. 1 album.

DNA was released on January 23, but Backstreet Boys knew they have another hit on their hands long before it hit the shelves. Lead single “Don’t Go Breaking My Heart” proved to be one of their biggest success stories and the band even received their first Grammy nod since 2002 thanks to this catchy track.

DNA is the first album they released in six years, and each member poured their heart and soul into the final product. Kevin Richardson explained this record perfectly reflects who they are, and that’s why they decided to go with this symbolic title.

“We were able to bring all of our influences and styles into one coherent piece of work. These songs are a great representation of who we are as individuals and who we are as a group. It’s our DNA. We’re really proud of that,” said Richardson.

]]> Critics at the prestigious Billboard magazine recently made their picks for the best rock albums released in 2018, and the no. 1 spot didn’t really come as a surprise. The 1975 was one of the buzzed-about alternative bands of the year, and they topped this list with their third studio album.

A Brief Inquiry Into Online Relationships was released on November 30 to rave reviews and gave us several hit singles, including “Give Yourself a Try” and “Sincerity Is Scary.” It’s been barely a month since this album hit the shelves, but the band is already working on their follow-up.

Notes On A Conditional Form is scheduled for 31 May 2019 release and frontman Matty Healy said it contains some of the best lyrics he’s ever written. He admitted it’s a bit scary to release two albums back to back, but they’re doing it anyway!

“My only fear is that because I’ve put this umbrella over both albums, they’ll be perceived as intrinsically connected. But that was never my intention. I’m just making records. I’ve gotta always want to be making my masterpiece. Otherwise, what’s the point?” said Healy.

The 1975 might’ve dropped the most exciting rock album of the year, but it wasn’t the only one worth the listen. Mitski took the no. 2 spot with Be the Cowboy, while indie band Foxing finished third thanks to their latest album Nearer My God.

Billboard Critics’ Picks – Top 10 Rock Albums of 2018

  1. The 1975, A Brief Inquiry Into Online Relationships
  2. Mitski, Be the Cowboy
  3. Foxing, Nearer My God
  4. Twenty One Pilots, Trench
  5. Snail Mail, Lush
  6. Turnstile, Time & Space
  7. Lucy Dacus, Historian
  8. Underoath, Erase Me
  9. Soccer Mommy, Clean
  10. Florence + the Machine, High As Hope

]]> Meek Mill is back and ready to conquer the charts! His new album, Championships, claimed the top spot at Billboard 200 albums chart, becoming his second no. 1 studio recording in the US.

The rapper’s fourth album dropped on November 30, and it was met with universal acclaim. Some of the songs on Championships outline his experiences and issues with the social justice system, and several fellow rappers helped him get his message across.

Mill’s new album features collaborations with Cardi B, 21 Savage, and Drake, which came as a pleasant surprise since the two stars weren’t on the best of terms in the past. The Canadian rapper worked on a song Going Bad, which was described as the high point of this album.

When it comes to Billboard Hot 100, Ariana Grande returned to the top with her empowering break-up anthem Thank U, Next. This song had the best streaming week for a female artist thanks to a rom-com inspired music video she dropped on November 30.
