Written by djfrosty on December 6, 2024
The holiday season is in full swing, but today’s top music artists are hardly slowing down.
Kicking off the new music releases this week is BLACKPINK star Rosé, who dropped her first solo album, Rosie. The dozen of songs include hit single “APT.” with Bruno Mars — which has spent six weeks so far at No. 1 on the Billboard Global 200 — and “Number One Girl.”
It was a big week for K-pop, as TWICE dropped their seven-track mini-album, Strategy, which features a collaboration with Megan Thee Stallion on the title track. “I feel like Megan’s style really enhanced our part of the music,” member Jeongyeon told The Hollywood Reporter of working with the rapper. “When we were shooting the music video, Megan really wanted to learn Korean, so she kept saying like, ‘귀여운,’ which means cute. That ‘you’re very cute’ or ‘that’s really cute.’ She did a lot of Korean-style jokes and those hand hearts that Koreans do a lot to break the ice.”
Meanwhile, BTS’ V got into the holiday spirit by teaming up with the late Bing Crosby to release a duet version of “White Christmas.” “I’m so grateful to have had the chance to be featured in a song with my all-time favorite jazz artist, Bing Crosby,” V previously said of the track in a statement. “I grew up listening to his song ‘It’s Been a Long, Long Time’ countless times a day, and I feel incredibly fortunate and honored to have sung along on ‘White Christmas’ with the voice of someone I consider an idol.”
That’s just the tip of the North Pole iceberg. Other drops this week include Bad Bunny’s “EL CLúB;” “Georgia Ways,” a collaboration between Quavo, Teddy Swims and Luke Combs; and “Personal,” which reunites Khalid and Normani.
