Inside a Very Vegas Weekend at Eagles’ Sphere Opening & 2024 iHeartRadio Music Festival

There’s never a dull moment in Las Vegas, but this past weekend was a particularly packed one for Sin City, which played host to the first two nights of the Eagles’ five-month residency at the Sphere on Friday and Saturday and the two-day iHeartRadio Music Festival on those same nights.

On the new Billboard Pop Shop Podcast, we can give you a taste of the action-packed weekend in Vegas, as Katie recounts to Keith all the details of covering the Eagles’ opening night on Friday and then popping in for The Weeknd, Doja Cat, Halsey, Hozier, New Kids on the Block and more for iHeart’s second night on Saturday.

Also on the show, we’ve got chart news on how vinyl album sales push Travis Scott’s Days Before Rodeo to No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart for the first time, how The Weeknd and Playboi Carti both make high debuts on the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart with the first singles from their forthcoming albums, and how Billie Eilish tops the Pop Airplay chart with “Birds of a Feather,” while Taylor Swift is on the verge of another top 10 with “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart.”
