Charlie Puth turns up the steam for “Lipstick,” the first cut from his forthcoming studio album.
A collaboration with producers Happy Perez and Pop Wansel, “Lipstick” slipped out at the stroke of midnight, and will serve as the lead single from Puth’s fourth studio album, according to Atlantic Records.
The tune has an old-school groove, over which Puth sings, “Come and put your lipstick on my neck and my body/Just to show these bitches that you’re mine/ Lipstick on my collar show ‘em you ain’t no hobby/ You’re the one who gets it all the time.”

Puth’s next album is listed as “coming soon.” It’s the followup to 2022’s Charlie, which carried the singles “Light Switch”, “That’s Hilarious”, “Left and Right” with Jungkook of BTS, and peaked at No. 10 on the Billboard 200, his third consecutive top 10 LP on the all-genres tally. The U.S. artist’s debut Nine Track Mind from 2016 peaked at No. 6, and his sophomore effort, 2018’s Voicenotes, reached No. 4.
Puth’s career revved up with an assist on Wiz Khalifa’s “See You Again,” which appeared on the Furious 7 soundtrack. The track gave Puth his first and only No. 1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 when it was released in 2015, and charted on the all-genre tally for a total of 52 weeks. Recently, the singer and songwriter marked his official return to the Fast & Furious franchise with a feature on the Fast X single “Angel Pt. 2.”
Back in March, he released a short film co-starring Sabrina Carpenter, “That’s Not How This Works,” and a single with the same name, featuring Dan + Shay and Carpenter.
Puth returns to the road next month with The Charlie Live Experience, for an international run that will see him head to Australia for the first time in October and November.

According to a statement, the brief run will feature the band’s many hits, including “Swear It Again,” “Flying Without Wings,” “World Of Our Own,” “My Love,” “If I Let You Go,” and “Hello My Love.”
But first, a U.S. TV debut on Monday, Aug. 21 with a spot on Good Morning America.
Formed in 1998, Westlife made an immediate, and sizeable, impact in the British Isles.
They hold the record for most consecutive No. 1s in the U.K. (seven) and most singles to debut at the summit.
All told, they’ve scored eight No. 1 albums in the U.K. and have an impressive haul of 14 No. 1 singles, one of the biggest for any act, surpassed only by the Beatles and Elvis Presley. Twenty-five Westlife singles have hit the U.K. top 10.
According to Warner Music’s EastWest division, which signed the act in 2021 — also on St. Patrick’s Day — the group has sold over 55 million records worldwide.
The foursome of Shane Filan, Mark Feehily, Kian Egan, and Nicky Byrne (past member Brian McFadden is no longer with the band) reunited for the 2019 album release Spectrum, which again ruled the Official U.K. Albums Chart. Their career trophy collection includes two Brit Awards, four MTV Awards and a venue record at Croke Park Stadium in Dublin, which they sold-out five times.

Morgan Wallen’s “Last Night” ties Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You” for the second-most weeks spent atop Billboard’s Streaming Songs chart in the tally’s decade-long history, crowning the Aug. 19-dated survey. Meanwhile, the songs share the record for the most time on top, 18 weeks each, among hits billed to singular acts and no collaborators.
“Last Night” leads Streaming Songs for an 18th nonconsecutive week with 26.3 million official U.S. streams in the Aug. 4-10 tracking week, down 2%, according to Luminate.
The song first crowned the Streaming Songs list dated March 18, its sixth week on the ranking, boasting 47.5 million streams that week. It has not fallen below No. 3 since.
An 18th week at No. 1 ties Carey’s holiday anthem, which first led Streaming Songs upon the Jan. 5, 2019, chart and has returned each year since for anywhere between three and five weeks at No. 1 during the holiday season.
The overall record for most weeks at No. 1 belongs to Lil Nas X’s “Old Town Road,” featuring Billy Ray Cyrus: 20 weeks in 2019.
Most Weeks at No. 1, Streaming Songs:
20 weeks, “Old Town Road,” Lil Nas X feat. Billy Ray Cyrus (2019)
18, “Last Night,” Morgan Wallen (2023)
18, “All I Want for Christmas Is You,” Mariah Carey (2019, 2020, 2021, 2022)
16, “Despacito,” Luis Fonsi & Daddy Yankee feat. Justin Bieber (2017)
14, “Rockstar,” Post Malone feat. 21 Savage (2017-2018)
14, “Panda,” Desiigner (2016)
13, “We Don’t Talk About Bruno,” Carolina Gaitán, Mauro Castillo, Adassa, Rhenzy Feliz, Diane Guerrero, Stephanie Beatriz & Encanto Cast (2022)
13, “The Box,” Roddy Ricch (2020)
13, “Fancy,” Iggy Azalea feat. Charli XCX (2014)
13, “Wrecking Ball,” Miley Cyrus (2013-2014)
“Last Night” remains Wallen’s only Streaming Songs-topping tune. He first appeared on the ranking with “Whiskey Glasses” in 2019 and rose as high as No. 3 twice, with “Wasted on You” in 2021 and “Don’t Think Jesus” in 2022, prior to the reign of “Last Night.”
“Last Night” concurrently spends its 27th week at No. 1 on Country Streaming Songs, which is nearly halfway to the overall record, kept by Bebe Rexha and Florida Georgia Line’s “Meant To Be,” which ruled for 55 weeks in 2017-19.
As previously reported, “Last Night” spends a 16th week at No. 1 on the multi-metric Billboard Hot 100, rewriting the mark for the most frames at the summit among non-collaborations.
Billboard has more than 200 different weekly charts in its menu, encompassing numerous genres and formats.
While established artists often compete for a spot on the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart and Billboard 200 albums ranking, which track the most popular songs and albums of the week, respectively, up-and-coming talents typically start off on genre-specific lists.
Here’s a look at 10 acts who appear on surveys for the first time on the Aug. 19-dated charts.

Latin star Pedro Capó opens up about his latest album, La Neta, going on tour, life after the success of his track “Calma,” new music and more.Pedro Capo:Out of the blue, unexpectedly. It wasn’t supposed to be a single. It wasn’t written with that, you know, looking for that either, that one was absolutely special.
Hi, I’m Pedro Capo and this is Billboard News.
Leila Cobo:Pedro Capo, welcome to Billboard News!
Pedro Capo:Thank you! Happy to be here! Happy to see you! Thanks for having me!
Leila Cobo:Likewise. And now you’re back with ‘La Neta’ tour. This is the first tour since the onset of the pandemic for you.
Pedro Capo:Yeah, yeah. Happy… happy that we finally got here.
Leila Cobo:Tell us about that tour.
Pedro Capo:Yes. Well, we started in Spain, we did four cities over there. And it was a huge success. Every city sold out. We’re now going to Argentina, which they all sold out. I feel like ‘La Neta’ is that you know, the little boat that could, and then we’re going to Mexico and we’re going to be coming to the (United) States so we should be here in October. Very excited about that. ‘La Neta’ was a different- is a different sound. And I feel like it marks a road ahead for me.
Leila Cobo:How so?
Pedro Capo:Because sonically I was coming out of the whole “Calma” thing, which was beautiful, amazing. “Calma” had, you know, happened at such an interesting moment. The pandemic came, I kind of got lost in my sound for a little bit, which is part of our process, I’d say. And ‘La Neta’ was something that I record and produced and write in its entirety in my house. Very personal.Watch the full interview above.
