Jelly Roll is never walking a lonely road, as long as he has Bunnie XO. On Tuesday (Sept. 2), the couple commemorated nearly a decade of marriage on their ninth wedding anniversary. Sharing photos of themselves holding hands and laughing in a cathedral while on a trip to Cologne, Germany, the country star and podcaster wrote in a joint Instagram post, “Life is ours, we live it our way.” “9 years of us,” they added sweetly. On his Story, Jelly reshared the post and soundtracked it with Metallica’s “Nothing Else Matters.” “9 years,” he wrote. “I love more and more every single day.” The celebration comes 10 years after Jelly and Bunnie first met in 2015 at one of the musician’s shows in Las Vegas. They tied the knot in August 2016, and — aside from a brief split in 2018 — the couple has stood by one another as both of their careers have taken off in the years since. Jelly is now a Grammy-nominated, Billboard 200-topping artist, while the social media star has millions of listeners on her Dumb Blonde podcast. Bunnie now shares full custody over Jelly’s teenage daughter, Bailee, whom he welcomed in a past relationship. She’s also a stepmom to his son, Noah, and in his 2023 Billboard cover story, the musician called his wife a “a beacon of change in my life.” “You’re talking about a woman that came in and took a child that was soon to be born and a child that [we were] soon to have full custody of,” he told Billboard‘s Melinda Newman at the time. “I would have never got custody of my daughter without her. I wouldn’t have had the stability or the money.” Jelly and Bunnie are now working to expand their family even more through IVF, the challenges of which the latter has been open about on social media. In July, Bunnie shared on TikTok, “I’ve had to miss a lot of fun things, my body has been thru the ringer & honestly I’m exhausted mentally & physically.” “But, I can feel the light shifting,” she added at the time. “I’m finally coming out of the cocoon & trusting that God’s timing is never wrong. Here’s to the bloom after the battle.” Source link

Time-travel through every year since the Hot 100 began with the top 10 hits each summer. 9/2/2025 Clockwise from top left: Madonna, Beyonce, Nelly, Drake, Carly Rae Jepsen & Usher Getty Images Hot weather and nostalgia make for a potent mix(tape). In order to aid your festive flashbacks, we analyzed the Billboard Hot 100 chart each year dating back to the survey’s August 1958 launch. Here’s the definitive list of the top 10 jams each summer that pumped out of your speakers most between Memorial Day and Labor Day. Beginning with the survey’s inception, summer songs have made for some of the most memorable hits in the Hot 100’s history, while many prominent artists have scored the top song of the summer, including Stevie Wonder, the Supremes and the Rolling Stones in the ‘60s; Bee Gees, Eagles and Donna Summer (naturally) in the ‘70s; Prince and Madonna in the ‘80s; Mariah Carey and TLC in the ‘90s; Usher and Beyoncé in the 2000s; and Katy Perry, Drake and more since. Meanwhile, the right song at the right time has connected, regardless of the scope of an artist’s history. OMI, for example, has charted one Hot 100 hit, but it was a big one: His sunny “Cheerleader” soundtracked the summer of 2015 and emerged as that season’s biggest hit. Time travel below through every year since the Hot 100 began with the top 10 hits each summer. Billboard’s weekly Songs of the Summer chart tracks the most popular titles based on cumulative performance on the weekly streaming-, airplay- and sales-based Hot 100 from Memorial Day through Labor Day each year. These hot tunes below are ranked based on each track’s performance on the Billboard Hot 100 chart during the summer. For the period through 1991, prior to the advent of Luminate radio monitoring and point-of-sales data, the rankings are based on an inverse point system, with weeks at No. 1 earning the greatest value and weeks at lower ranks earning less. For the years corresponding with Luminate data tabulation from 1992 onward, rankings are based on accumulated radio and sales points, and points from other data sets, including streaming, included in the Hot 100 during those years. 1958 Rank, Title, Artist1, NEL BLU DIPINTO DI BLU (VOLARÉ), Domenico Modugno2, POOR LITTLE FOOL, Ricky Nelson3, PATRICIA, Perez Prado And His Orchestra4, LITTLE STAR, The Elegants5, MY TRUE LOVE, Jack Scott6, JUST A DREAM, Jimmy Clanton And His Rockets7, WHEN, Kalin Twins8, BIRD DOG, The Everly Brothers9, SPLISH SPLASH, Bobby Darin10, REBEL-‘ROUSER, Duane Eddy His Twangy Guitar And The Rebels 1959 Rank, Title, Artist1, LONELY BOY, Paul Anka2, THE BATTLE OF NEW ORLEANS, Johnny Horton3, A BIG HUNK O’ LOVE, Elvis Presley With The Jordanaires4, MY HEART IS AN OPEN BOOK, Carl Dobkins, Jr.5, THE THREE BELLS, The Browns6, PERSONALITY, Lloyd Price and His Orchestra7, THERE GOES MY BABY, The Drifters8, LAVENDER-BLUE, Sammy Turner9, WATERLOO, Stonewall Jackson10, TIGER, Fabian 1960 Rank, Title, Artist1, I’M SORRY, Brenda Lee2, IT’S NOW OR NEVER, Elvis Presley With The Jordanaires3, EVERYBODY’S SOMEBODY’S FOOL, Connie Francis4, ALLEY-OOP, Hollywood Argyles5, ITSY BITSY TEENIE WEENIE YELLOW POLKADOT BIKINI, Brian Hyland6, ONLY THE LONELY (KNOW HOW I FEEL), Roy Orbison7, WALK — DON’T RUN, The Ventures8, CATHY’S CLOWN, The Everly Brothers9, MULE SKINNER BLUES, The Fendermen10, BECAUSE THEY’RE YOUNG, Duane Eddy And The Rebels 1961 Rank, Title, Artist1, TOSSIN’ AND TURNIN’, Bobby Lewis2, QUARTER TO THREE, U.S. Bonds3, THE BOLL WEEVIL SONG, Brook Benton4, I LIKE IT LIKE THAT, PART 1, Chris Kenner5, MICHAEL, The Highwaymen6, RAINDROPS, Dee Clark7, WOODEN HEART, Joe Dowell8, MOODY RIVER, Pat Boone9, DUM DUM, Brenda Lee10, LAST NIGHT, Mar-Keys 1962 Rank, Title, Artist1, ROSES ARE RED (MY LOVE), Bobby Vinton2, I CAN’T STOP LOVING YOU, Ray Charles3, THE STRIPPER, David Rose and His Orchestra4, BREAKING UP IS HARD TO DO, Neil Sedaka5, THE LOCO-MOTION, Little Eva6, THE WAH WATUSI, The Orlons7, SEALED WITH A KISS, Brian Hyland8, PALISADES PARK, Freddy Cannon9, SHEILA, Tommy Roe10, IT KEEPS RIGHT ON A-HURTIN’, Johnny Tillotson 1963 Rank, Title, Artist1, FINGERTIPS – PT 2, Little Stevie Wonder2, SURF CITY, Jan & Dean3, EASIER SAID THAN DONE, The Essex4, SO MUCH IN LOVE, The Tymes5, SUKIYAKI, Kyu Sakamoto6, WIPE OUT, The Surfaris7, BLOWIN’ IN THE WIND, Peter, Paul & Mary8, MY BOYFRIEND’S BACK, The Angels9, (YOU’RE THE) DEVIL IN DISGUISE, Elvis Presley With The Jordanaires10, CANDY GIRL, The 4 Seasons 1964 Rank, Title, Artist1, WHERE DID OUR LOVE GO, The Supremes2, I GET AROUND, The Beach Boys3, EVERYBODY LOVES SOMEBODY, Dean Martin4, A HARD DAY’S NIGHT, The Beatles5, RAG DOLL, The 4 Seasons feat. the “Sound of Frankie Valli”6, HOUSE OF THE RISING SUN, The Animals7, MEMPHIS, Johnny Rivers8, UNDER THE BOARDWALK, The Drifters9, THE LITTLE OLD LADY (FROM PASADENA), Jan & Dean10, WISHIN’ AND HOPIN’, Dusty Springfield 1965 Rank, Title, Artist1, (I CAN’T GET NO) SATISFACTION, The Rolling Stones2, I CAN’T HELP MYSELF (SUGAR PIE HONEY BUNCH), Four Tops3, I GOT YOU BABE, Sonny & Cher4, HELP!, The Beatles5, I’M HENRY VIII, I AM, Herman’s Hermits6, MR.

This week, Riley Green offers up a smoldering heartbreaker of a song, while Dolly Parton reunites with bluegrass group The Grascals on an uplifting new track, and HARDY and ERNEST team up for a new song sounding a death knell for bro country. Explore See latest videos, charts and news Check out all of these and more in Billboard‘s roundup of some of the best country, bluegrass and/or Americana songs of the week below. Riley Green, “Make It Rain” Green has been making big career strides recently, thanks to flirty or sultry songs such as the Ella Langley collaboration “You Look Like You Love Me” and his own “Worst Way.” But on his latest, from his Don’t Mind If I Do deluxe project, Green’s voice brims with vulnerable remorse on this heartbreak ballad. Written by Green, Nick Walsh and Blake Pendergrass, the song’s verses find Green detailing the various things he has no power to do: “I can’t make the wind blow or the sun come out,” he sings. But by the chorus, he’s self-recriminating over his ability to shatter a romantic relationship, or as he puts it, bring his ex-lover to tears and “make it rain.” Flashes of intense, stormy guitar heighten the song’s raw emotional feel. Overall, the track is a persuasive reminder of Green’s prowess not only as a country vocalist, but as a songwriter. The Grascals and Dolly Parton, “Broken Angels” Bluegrass group The Grascals team with Dolly Parton on this uplifting track, which takes on issues of depression and addiction while being an uplifting encouragement to those recovering or in the midst of the struggle. The Grascals and Parton have had a longstanding creative kinship, with The Grascals touring with Parton early on. The Grascals co-founder Jamie Johnson co-wrote the song with Parton. “I know my better self wants to shine through,” they sing, their voices melding into warm, striking harmony as the lyrics plead for strength to keep aiming for a newfound peace. The tender song is bolstered by fiddle work from Jimmy Mattingly and Jamie Harper. The song also marks the debut single from The Grascals’s upcoming album and is a timely song that’s well worth repeated listens. HARDY and ERNEST, “Bro Country” While launching his own artist career that toggles hard rock and country hits, HARDY was himself known for crafting some of country music’s top “bro country”-era hits for artists such as Florida Georgia Line and Morgan Wallen in the mid-2010s. On his latest, he teams with fellow country singer-songwriter ERNEST to craft what’s essentially a musical farewell address to the passing of the “bro country” era. It isn’t the first time HARDY has written a musical eulogy for country music (2023’s “Here Lies Country Music” mourned the loss of old-school country). This new song, written by HARDY, ERNEST and Mark Holman, acknowledges the popularity and success of “bro country,” while chronicling the shift in sounds over the past several years as more traditional-leaning country sounds come to the forefront. Frank lyrics, with just a bit of snark, depict the rise of “big boys with beards,” noting that “Outlaws with long hair/ Yeah, they’re back with a vengeance.” Bringing in ERNEST (whose 2024 album Nashville, Tennessee, is steeped in vintage country sounds) as both a co-writer and vocalist brings an added grit to the song. SJ McDonald, “Honky Tonk Pie” Virginia native McDonald has previously established herself as an artist who etches unflinchingly honest songs and has a ’90s country-influenced sound, releasing songs such as “Right Hand Man.” In her latest, she details the anxiety-inducing lows of an artist paying dues in a quest for musical stardom, on lines such as “slingin’ cheap guitars, sleepin’ in my car, countin’ floorboard change.” With McDonald’s bright twang and the song’s rolling rhythms and relentless energy, this song is a worthy addition to any rotation. Baylee Lynn, “Cautiously Optimistic” Newcomer Lynn, 17, offers up equal parts bubbly pop-country with vulnerable songwriting on her debut single, “Cautiously Optimistic.” The captures the emotional tension of potential love after heartbreak, toggling between fear and the desire to trust in a fledgling new romance. Written by Lynn with AJ Pruis, Kyle Sturrock and Brett Tyler, this first outing from Lynn admirably blends her youthful vocal charisma with a sense of plucked-from-her-own-story relatability. Laci Kaye Booth, “Luck of the Draw” With songs like “Daddy’s Mugshot” and her latest, “Luck of the Draw,” Booth is cementing her reputation as a singer-songwriter who pulls no punches and refuses to water down her sound or her message. In her latest, she sings of trying to make sense of rising rents, rising drug use, and a plethora of other personal and societal challenges as an exercise in futility. “Life’s a gamble anyway,” she sings, as the song’s exquisitely crafted, resigned-yet-resilient storyline is driven by Booth’s enchanting, feather-light vocal. Booth wrote the song with Ryman Wooten and Ben West. The track follows her 2024 album The Loneliest Girl in the World. Source link

At long last, XG is releasing a debut album. In a Tuesday (Sept. 2) announcement, the Japanese girl group shared that its first-ever full-length is set to drop in a matter of months, with a lead single coming even sooner. As revealed in an ethereal, extra-terrestrial album teaser, JURIN, CHISA, HINATA, HARVEY, JURIA, MAYA and COCONA will unveil their debut LP on Jan. 23, 2026. In the clip, a snippet of music plays with the repeating phrase, “Everything you do.” Ahead of the project, the R&B/hip-hop septet will also unveil lead single “GALA” on Sept. 19. Described in a release as a “high-energy, runway-ready anthem driven by futuristic sounds and striking visual imagery,” the track will fuse “hard-hitting rap, bilingual flows, driving house rhythms and bold synth textures to create ‘X GALA,’ a futuristic reimagining of a high-fashion gala through XG’s distinctive lens.” As longtime fans of the Xtraordinary Girls know, the band’s first album has been a long time coming. After debuting in March 2022 with single “Tippy Toes,” the members released mini-album New DNA in September 2023, followed by Awe in November 2024. Over the past three years, XG has also expanded its global fanbase through live shows and festival stops, performing at Coachella earlier this year before headlining Japanese music fest a-nation in August. Pioneering a new genre of music that they refer to as “X-pop,” the members have maintained their close friendship even as the group’s star has risen. “What makes us extraordinary is that I feel we are able to break free from all these norms and borders that tend to bind us,” JURIN told Soy Kim for XG’s Billboard cover story in 2023. “By that same token, there is a bond between us that transcends a lot of types of challenges, and it’s really amazing to have that.” Check out XG’s debut album teaser below.

Alex Warren’s “Ordinary” reigns as the No. 1 title on Billboard’s Songs of the Summer chart for 2025. The song claims the title after topping the weekly survey all 14 weeks this season. The 20-position Songs of the Summer running tally tracks the most popular titles based on cumulative performance on the weekly streaming-, airplay- and sales-based Billboard Hot 100 chart from Memorial Day through Labor Day (this year encompassing charts dated June 7 through Sept. 6; Titles that appeared on the 2024 Songs of the Summer chart or peaked on the Hot 100 during or before summer 2024 were ineligible to appear on this year’s Songs of the Summer ranking.) Amid the start-to-finish win for “Ordinary” on Songs of the Summer, it ran up 10 weeks at No. 1 on the Hot 100, marking the singer-songwriter’s first leader on the list. This year marks the fifth in a row that only one title monopolized No. 1 on the Songs of the Summer chart all season, following Post Malone’s “I Had Some Help,” featuring Morgan Wallen (2024); Wallen’s “Last Night” (2023); Harry Styles’ “As It Was” (2022); and BTS’ “Butter” (2021). Following Wallen’s first-place finishes on Songs of the Summer the last two years, he takes the Nos. 2, 3 and 4 hits for 2025: “What I Want,” featuring Tate McRae, “Just in Case” and “I’m the Problem,” respectively. He is the first artist with three top five entries on a season-closing Songs of the Summer chart. All three songs are from his album I’m the Problem. Notably, “What I Want” drew the most official U.S. streams in the summer tracking period: 298 million, according to Luminate. “Ordinary” led in radio airplay audience — 930 million — and download sales — 92,000. Kendrick Lamar and SZA’s “Luther” lands the No. 5 spot on Songs of the Summer for 2025. Rounding the Songs of the Summer top 10: Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars’ “Die With a Smile” (No. 6); current Hot 100 leader “Golden” by HUNTR/X: EJAE, Audrey Nuna and REI AMI, from Netflix’s summer smash film KPop Demon Hunters (No. 7); Chappell Roan’s “Pink Pony Club” (No. 8); Sabrina Carpenter’s “Manchild” (No. 9); and Ravyn Lenae’s “Love Me Not” (No. 10).

HUNTR/X’s “Golden,” from the soundtrack to the smash animated Netflix film KPop Demon Hunters, glows atop the Billboard Hot 100 chart for a third week. Upon the original coronation of “Golden,” HUNTR/X — the singing trio of EJAE, Audrey Nuna and REI AMI (in the roles of the film’s characters Rumi, Mira and Zoey) — became the first female group associated with Korean pop to crown the Hot 100. The act also became the first all-woman collective of three or more members to lead in 24 years, since Destiny’s Child with “Bootylicious” for two weeks in August 2001. A week ago, KPop Demon Hunters became the first soundtrack to generate four simultaneous Hot 100 top 10s over the chart’s 67-year history. The songs continue in the tier, with Saja Boys’ “Your Idol” and “Soda Pop” holding at their respective Nos. 4 and 5 highs and HUNTR/X’s “How It’s Done” pushing 10-9. Meanwhile, as KPop Demon Hunters has now logged three songs in the Hot 100’s top five simultaneously for two weeks, it joins just one other soundtrack that has achieved such a triple-double: On the charts dated April 8 and 15, 1978, three Saturday Night Fever songs ranked in the region: Bee Gees’ “Night Fever” (No. 1) and “Stayin’ Alive” (No. 2) and Yvonne Eliiman’s “If I Can’t Have You” (also written by the trio; No. 5). Browse the full rundown of this week’s top 10 below. The Hot 100 blends all-genre U.S. streaming (official audio and official video), radio airplay and sales data, the lattermost metric reflecting purchases of physical singles and digital tracks from full-service digital music retailers; digital singles sales from direct-to-consumer (D2C) sites are excluded from chart calculations. All charts (dated Sept. 6, 2025) will update on Billboard.com tomorrow, Sept. 2 (one day later than usual due to the Labor Day holiday Sept. 1).

Luminate reviews and authenticates data. In partnership with Billboard, data deemed suspicious or unverifiable is removed, using established criteria, before final chart calculations are made and published. ‘Golden’ Streams, Airplay & Sales “Golden,” on Visva/Republic Records, tallied 35.3 million official streams (up 4% week-over-week), 19.7 million radio airplay audience impressions (up 21%) and 9,000 sold (up 11%) in the United States Aug. 22-28. The track scores a sixth week at No. 1 on the Streaming Songs chart; jumps 42-29 on Radio Songs; and rises a spot for its first week at No. 1 on Digital Song Sales. Gains for “Golden” were boosted by the film’s Aug. 23-24 sing-along wide release in movie theaters and that version’s Aug. 25 premiere on Netflix. “It’s so thrilling that people are hearing the songs in two ways,” KPop Demon Hunters executive music producer Ian Eisendrath recently told Billboard. “Some are loving the film, and the film is making the songs hits … and then some people are just encountering the songs, and the songs are making the film a hit.” 3 Weeks at No. 1 for ‘KPop’ Image Credit: Netflix “Golden” is the ninth song associated with Korean pop to rule the Hot 100, and the first by female lead vocalists with ties to the genre. (HUNTR/X singers EJAE and REI AMI were born in Seoul, South Korea; Nuna is from New Jersey.) Of the eight previous leaders, six were by BTS and one each by members Jimin and Jung Kook as soloists. “Golden” becomes just the third such song to notch at least three weeks at No. 1 on the Hot 100. Here’s a recap: 10 weeks, BTS, “Butter,” beginning June 5, 2021 3, HUNTR/X: EJAE, Audrey Nuna and REI AMI, “Golden,” beginning Aug. 16, 2025 3, BTS, “Dynamite,” beginning Sept. 5, 2020 1, Jung Kook, “Seven” (featuring Latto), July 29, 2023 1, Jimin, “Like Crazy,” April 8, 2023 1, BTS, “My Universe” (with Coldplay), Oct. 9, 2021 1, BTS, “Permission To Dance,” July 24, 2021 1, BTS, “Life Goes On,” Dec. 5, 2020 1, BTS, “Savage Love (Laxed – Siren Beat)” (with Jawsh 685 and Jason Derulo), Oct. 17, 2020 Plus, as Destiny’s Child “Bootylicious” led the Hot 100 for two weeks in August 2001, “Golden” is the first song by an all-female act of three or more members to reign for at least three weeks since Destiny’s Child’s “Independent Women Part I” dominated for 11 weeks in November 2000-January 2001. Rest of Top 10: ‘Ordinary’ & More Elsewhere in the Hot 100’s top 10, Alex Warren’s “Ordinary” holds at No. 2, after 10 nonconsecutive weeks at No. 1 beginning in June. It adds an 11th week at No. 1 on Radio Songs (74 million, essentially no percentage change). Morgan Wallen’s “What I Want,” featuring Tate McRae, keeps at No. 3 on the Hot 100, after it debuted in May as Wallen’s fourth No. 1 and McRae’s first. It posts a 15th week at No. 1 on the multimetric Hot Country Songs chart. Below Saja Boys’ “Your Idol” and “Soda Pop,” Ravyn Lenae’s “Love Me Not” is steady at No. 6 on the Hot 100, after reaching No. 5, and Sabrina Carpenter’s “Manchild” rebounds 14-7, after it led in its debut week in June, helped by buzz for parent album Man’s Best Friend, released Friday (Aug. 29). Teddy Swims’ “Lose Control,” which led the Hot 100 for a week in March 2024, and went on to become the year’s No. 1 song, slips 7-8 — as it adds a record-extending 108th week on the chart overall and a record-furthering 76th week in the top 10. Below HUNTR/X’s “How It’s Done,” which concurrently claims a ninth week at No. 1 on the Hot Dance/Pop Songs chart, Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars’ “Die With a Smile” rises 11-10, following five weeks at No. 1 beginning in January. It becomes just the fourth

The release of John Fogerty’s Legacy: The Creedence Clearwater Revival Years (John’s Version) last month has put a renewed spotlight on the group, which was among the most popular bands in America in the late 1960s and early ’70s. In the space of less than two years, CCR put five studio albums in the top 10 on the Billboard 200. Two of those albums, Green River and Cosmo’s Factory, had long runs at No. 1. Although the band reached No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 with five singles, they never quite made it to the top spot, giving them an unenviable record which they hold to this day – more No. 2 hits without a No. 1 than any other act in Hot 100 history. Five other acts have notched five or more No. 2 hits on the Hot 100, but unlike CCR, they also reached the top spot with multiple hits. They are Drake (12 No. 2 hits), Taylor Swift (10), Madonna (six), Justin Bieber and Carpenters (five each). (Elvis Presley notched five No. 2 hits on Billboard pop charts, but the first, “Wear My Ring Around Your Neck,” preceded the August 1958 inception of the Hot 100.) Unfortunate timing may have hindered CCR’s chances of reaching the top spot. The band peaked at No. 2 behind the songs that went on to become Billboard’s No. 1 hits for the year for both 1969 (The Archies’ “Sugar, Sugar”) and 1970 (Simon & Garfunkel’s “Bridge Over Troubled Water”). The demand for the band’s hits has endured. Chronicle: The 20 Greatest Hits has logged 760 weeks on the Billboard 200 since its release in 1976. And now we have Fogerty’s Legacy: The Creedence Clearwater Revival Years (John’s Version), a collection of re-recordings of CCR classics. The new set, which was released on Concord on Aug. 22, debuts on multiple Billboard charts dated Sept. 6, including Top Album Sales (No. 9). The impetus for the new album was Fogerty regaining control over his songs after a half-century fight, as well as his turning 80. Fogerty discussed the album and his legacy as a songwriter with Billboard’s Melinda Newman. Here are the five CCR singles that reached No. 2 on the Hot 100 – and what kept them from the top spot. Some were stopped by absolute classics, others by records that haven’t stood the test of time as well as the CCR hits have. “Proud Mary” Weeks at No. 2: 3 (beginning March 8, 1969) Stopped by: Sly & the Family Stone’s “Everyday People” (first week), Tommy Roe’s “Dizzy” (next two weeks) Notes: “Everyday People,” Sly & the Family Stone’s first of three No. 1 hits, is also a classic, but “Dizzy” is a bubblegum hit that faded from memory almost as soon as it left the charts. It was Roe’s second of two No. 1 hits, following 1962’s “Sheila.” “Bad Moon Rising” Weeks at No. 2: 1 (June 28, 1969) Stopped by: Henry Mancini’s “Love Theme From Romeo & Juliet” Notes: Mancini was one of the greatest composers of his time, but he didn’t write this piece. It was a cover of Nino Rota’s theme from the Franco Zeffirelli film, which made Shakespeare cool for middle-schoolers of the era. Mancini’s single, his only No. 1 on the Hot 100, received a Grammy nod for record of the year, but it hasn’t stood the test of time as well as his own classics, such as “Moon River” and “The Pink Panther Theme.” “Green River” Weeks at No. 2: 1 (Sept. 27, 1969) Stopped by: The Archies’ “Sugar, Sugar” Notes: CCR was stopped by a bubblegum record for the second time in less than a year. But unlike “Dizzy,” “Sugar, Sugar” is a bubblegum classic. The Archies were a fictional group. The lead vocal on “Sugar, Sugar,” their only No. 1, was sung by Ron Dante, who went on to co-produce three No. 1 hits for Barry Manilow. “Travelin’ Band” / “Who’ll Stop the Rain” Weeks at No. 2: 2 (beginning March 7, 1970) Stopped by: Simon & Garfunkel’s “Bridge Over Troubled Water” Notes: If you’re going to get blocked from No. 1, it’s not the worst thing to be blocked by the biggest and most admired hit of the year. S&G’s power ballad, their last of three No. 1 hits, logged six consecutive weeks at No. 1 and won Grammys for record and song of the year. “Lookin’ Out My Back Door” / “Long as I Can See the Light” Weeks at No. 2: 1 (Oct. 3, 1970) Stopped by: Diana Ross’ “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough” Notes: CCR’s path was blocked by another stone classic. Ross’ cover version of Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell’s 1967 hit recast the song as a stylish showstopper. It became her first of six No. 1 hits as a solo artist. Source link

Kylie Minogue just can’t get ATEEZ out of her head in a performance from Apple TV+’s new music competition series KPOPPED. The show executive produced by Lionel Richie and Megan Thee Stallion teams K-pop idols including Billlie, ITZY, JO1, STAYC, Kiss of Life and BLACKSWAN with Western music icons such as Kesha, Boyz II Men, Spice Girls Mel “Scary Spice” B and Emma “Baby Spice” Bunton and J Balvin to reimagine some of their biggest hits. In episode five, Australian pop queen Minogue — dressed in a yellow and black striped dress with a red and white bottom striped edge and knee-high leather boots — does a sultry back-and-forth with four of the eight-member boy band ATEEZ’s singers on her iconic pop smash “Can’t Get You Out of My Head,” which hit No. 7 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2002. The group’s members respond in kind, crooning the song’s longing lyrics in Korean at Minogue as the studio audience lose it and their other four bandmates, and J Balvin, look on with big smiles from chairs just offstage. The show’s performance are judged by a live audience in Seoul, South Korea, with Megan and “Gangnam Style” K-pop OG PSY appearing alongside host actor/comedian Soojeong Son (Search Party). All eight episodes of the series dropped on Friday (Aug. 29) and feature Western pop stars and K-pop groups reimagining their biggest hits and then performing them live with little rehearsal time. After each song battle, a winner is chosen and the K-pop idols end each episode with a performance, including their K-popped versions of the guest artist’s signature songs. Among the collaborations fans can watch are: Megan Thee Stallion and LaBelle with Billlie (on “Flipping a Coin,” “Savage” and “Lady Marmalade”), Mel B and Bunton with ITZY (“Gold,” “Wannabe” and “Say You’ll Be There”), Vanilla Ice and Taylor Dayne with Kep 1 er (“Wa Da Da,” “Ice Ice Baby” and “Tell It To My Heart”), Kesha and Eve with JO1 (“Love Seeker,” “Joyride” and “Let Me Blow Ya Mind”), J Balvin and Kylie Minogue with ATEEZ (“Bounce (K-Hot Chili Peppers),” “Mi Gente” and “Can’t Get You Out of My Head”) and more from TLC and Boy George with STAYC, Jess Glynne and Ava Max with Kiss of Life and Boyz II Men with BLACKSWAN.
