]]>Minji, Hanni, Danielle, Haerin, and Hyein are having the time of their lives in the “Bubble Gum” music video, which is giving us some major 2000s vibes. They’re riding bikes, playing with marbles, blowing bubble gum, having a fun day at the beach, and recording their adventures on a vintage camcorder.
According to the girl group’s label Ador, “From its beginning to end, the clip captures the natural sides of the members, who blow bubble gum and play pranks on each other.”
“Bubble Gum” was released amid NewJeans’ ongoing drama with Hybe Corporation, the parent company of their label Ador. Ador CEO, Min Hee-jin, accused Hybe of mistreating NewJeans’ members and copying their formula to produce another girl group.
Despite the dispute between the two labels, NewJeans are gearing up for the release of their new album How Sweet, set to be released on May 24. They’re also planning to drop the double single “Supernatural” and “Right Now” in June, which will mark their first releases entirely in Japanese.

K-pop acts are slowly taking over major music festivals, including Lollapalooza. Tomorrow x Together made history as the first K-pop headliner, while NewJeans became the first K-pop girl group to perform at Lollapalooza.
It’s been a decade since the last time Kendrick Lamar performed at Lollapalooza, but he felt right at home once he finally came back. He returned to Chicago’s Grant Park to close out the festival’s second day and delivered a high-energy set stacked with his biggest hits.
Billie Eilish didn’t release many new songs since her second studio album Happier Than Ever, but that didn’t stop her from delivering one of Lollapalooza’s most explosive sets this year.
After her Glastonbury set was cut short earlier this summer, Lana Del Ray made up to her fans with an epic performance at Lollapalooza, which served as the festival’s big finish at the Bud Light stage.

]]>NewJeans rose to the top with 126,500 equivalent album units earned during the EP’s first week on the chart, including 101,500 in album sales, 24,500 in SEA units (equaling 34.39 million on-demand official streams of the set’s six tracks), and 500 in TEA units.
NewJeans is the second all-female K-pop group to top the Billboard 200 chart in less than a year, following in the footsteps of Blackpink with their album Born Pink last September. Get Up is also the fourth non-English language album to hit No. 1 this year, following Stray Kids’ 5-STAR, Karol G’s Mañana Será Bonito, and Tomorrow X Together’s The Name Chapter: Temptation.
The race for the No. 1 spot on the Billboard 200 chart this week was pretty tight, and NewJeans won it by only 500 units. Barbie: The Album bowed at No. 2 with 126,000 equivalent album units earned, which marks the biggest week for a full-length theatrical film soundtrack by units since Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper’s A Star Is Born four years ago.

]]>Several highly-anticipated albums hit the shelves on Friday and gave us songs that deserve a spot on your playlist. The K-pop girl band NewJeans teased their new EP Get Up with the release “Cool With You”, while the highly-anticipated Barbie: The Album gave us countless amazing new tracks, including Sam Smith’s “Man I Am”.
Zayn made a highly-anticipated comeback with “Love Like This”, but he wasn’t the only one building hype for his next album. Travis Scott knocked it out of the park with his new single “K-Pop” and brought Bad Bunny and The Weeknd on board.
This is only one of several A-list collaborations that made it to our list this week. Stormzy and Raye proved they’re a match made in heaven with “The Weekend”, will.i.am & Britney Spears gave us nostalgia overload with “Mind Your Business”, while Diplo partnered up with Jessie Murph & Polo G on his new song “Heartbroken”.

No album this week created as much buzz as the re-recorded version of Speak Now, but not for the lack of trying. PJ Harvey, Rauw Alejandro, and Anohni and the Johnsons also dropped some new music, so stick around to find out which of their new songs made it to our list.
K-Pop artists are continuing to have a moment on the global scene. Tomorrow X Together tapped Jonas Brothers for their latest collaboration “Do It Like That”, while girl group NewJeans made waves with their new single “Super Shy”. Fifty Fifty’s “Barbie Dreams” is also set to become their next big hit.
Our list also includes new music from Lil Baby, Dominic Fike, and Weezer, so check it out and see if your favorite new tracks made the cut.
