The interview kicked off with a zinger about Trump’s absence on 60 Minutes, with Colbert stating, “We invited Kamala Harris to be our guest this evening… In the interest of fairness, we also invited Donald Trump to go f— himself.”

Colbert then asked Harris if she would join him in cracking open a Miller High Life, saying, “Elections are won on vibes. They just want somebody they can have a beer with — so would you like to have a beer with me, so I can tell people what that’s like?”
Harris replied “The last time I had a beer was at a baseball game with Doug [Emhoff],” before quipping, “The champagne of beers!”
The Democratic nominee, who has been on a media blitz to reach younger voters, didn’t hold back during her appearance on the show, especially when it came to addressing Donald Trump’s relationship with leaders such as Vladamir Putin.
“Donald Trump — he openly admires dictators and authoritarians,” Harris remarked. “He has said he wants to be a dictator on Day One if he were elected again as president. He gets played by these guys. He admires so-called strongmen, and he gets played because they flatter him or offer him favor.”
Harris also addressed new revelations from Bob Woodward’s book, where it was reported that Trump sent Covid tests to Russia in the early days of the pandemic.
“The commander-in-chief of the United States of America must stand strong and defend the principles that we hold dear. We should stand with our allies,” she declared. “We should strengthen the alliances that we have, such as NATO, which is the strongest military alliance the world has ever seen. We must stand with our friend Ukraine where Russia is attempting to change borders by force.”
“I ask everyone here and everyone who is watching: Do you remember what those days were like? You remember how many people did not have tests and were trying to scramble to get them?” Harris said.
“And this man is giving Covid test kits to Vladimir Putin? Think about what this means on top of him sending love letters to Kim Jong Un… He thinks that’s his friend. What about the American people? They should be your first friend.”
In the episode, Colbert also highlighted a recent surge of misinformation related to Hurricane Milton, a catastrophic storm threatening the West Coast of Florida, and the use of AI-generated images in political manipulation.
“One AI-generated image making the rounds shows Trump wading into floodwaters with first responders—it’s completely fake, but people are falling for it,” Colbert said, critiquing how such tactics are used to sway voters.
Meanwhile, Harris urged those affected to listen to local officials, while criticizing at politicians who “tell lies” for their gain.
“It’s crude,” she said. “Have you no empathy, man, for the suffering of other people? Have you have no sense of purpose if you purport to be a leader?”
Later in the interview, when asked about Trump’s 2020 election loss, Harris reiterated sentiments she’d heard at her rallies. “You lost manufacturing, you lost automotive plants, you lost the election. What does that make you? A loser. This is what somebody at my rallies said. I thought it was funny.”
“It’s accurate. It’s accurate,” Colbert said. Harris added, “This is what happens when I drink beer.”
In a lighter moment during the discussion, the conversation shifted to music when Colbert asked Harris about her favorite Bob Seger songs in an effort to appeal to Michigan voters. Harris responded, “I’ll go Aretha or Eminem.”
Earlier in the day, Harris also appeared on ABC’s The View, where she unveiled a plan to expand Medicare to cover at-home care for seniors. This media tour has included stops on Howard Stern’s SiriusXM Show and the Call Her Daddy podcast, where she discussed the pressing issue of reproductive rights.

On Oct. 7, Manson took to social media, sharing a photo of herself in a hospital bed with the simple caption, “She lives.”
In another follow-up post, the iconic singer expressed her gratitude to those supporting her during her recovery and reflected on the challenges she’s faced over the past few months.
Trending on Billboard
“I’m choosing to remind myself, as I lie here trying to recover from major surgery, that there are still beautiful things in the world. Animals, flowers, oceans, trees. I’m so grateful to all the people who have gone out of their way to love on me, take care of me, check in on me. I cling on to their kindness and their thoughtfulness and their care,” she said.
“Mostly, I have spent the week in bed. Mostly, I have been doomscrolling. As you can imagine, like everyone else, I’m trying really hard not to lose my mind,” she shared.
Manson also used the post to call for peace amidst the ongoing Israel-Palestine conflict, writing, “We are all living in the same world. We all deserve a life of peace and happiness. No one will convince me otherwise. Where you have inequality and injustice there will be suffering.”
The update comes after Garbage announced in August that all remaining tour dates for 2024 would be canceled due to an injury Manson sustained during the band’s European performances.
On Aug. 7, Manson shared more details about the toll the injury had taken, revealing that she had returned from the tour “an absolute hot mess.”
In her post, she explained, “So broken that my poor husband had to push me through Heathrow and LAX airports in a wheelchair. I also had a dose of laryngitis and a massive cold sore on my lip.”
Fans were understandably concerned about her vocal health, but Manson reassured them in a follow-up post that everything was under control.
“I was freaking out that I had somehow managed to damage my vocal cords on top of everything else, but yesterday I was scoped and everything is as it should be,” she shared, offering a glimpse of her vocal cords for good measure.
Though she hasn’t gone into detail about the surgery, things seem to be looking up. Garbage is gearing up for their 2025 South American tour, where they’ll be joined by L7 for shows across Bogotá, Buenos Aires, and São Paulo, starting in March.
On top of that, Garbage fans can look forward to a special Record Store Day Black Friday release on Nov. 29. The band is dropping copy/paste, a collection of covers they’ve performed as an homage to luminaries such as David Bowie, Ramones, Patti Smith, U2, Big Star, Siouxsie and the Banshees and more.

Thanks to the new hit, Corleone adds his sixth champ, dating to his featured turn in Tito El Bambino’s “A Que No Te Atreves,” which dominated for five weeks in 2014.
“Polvo De Tu Vida” climbs four spots to No. 1 on Latin Rhythm Airplay, sporting the biggest jump to the chart’s peak in 2024, among the 14 songs that have landed at the summit so far. The single commands with 6.13 million audience impressions earned among U.S. monitored radio stations, that’s a 26% increase from the week prior, during the tracking week ending Oct. 3, according to Luminate.
Although not a record, the song wrapped a 14-week journey to the penthouse, tying with Venesti’s “Es Normal” for the fifth-longest climb to No. 1 in 2024. Here are the songs which endured the longest wait to the top on Latin Rhythm Airplay this year:

Odetari first broke through on Billboard’s charts in 2023, and now he’s officially a Billboard Hot 100-charting artist.
The Houston producer scores his first entry on the Hot 100 (dated Oct. 12) with “Keep Up.” The song debuts at No. 96 almost entirely from its streaming sum: 5.7 million official U.S. streams in the Sept. 27-Oct. 3 tracking week, according to Luminate.
TikTok has been a huge factor in the song’s growing profile, largely due to a viral dance trend. A portion of its audio has been used in nearly 1 million clips on the platform to date. That activity pushed the song 14-4 on the Oct. 5-dated TikTok Billboard Top 50 chart.
“Keep Up” also rises two spots to No. 6 on Hot Dance/Electronic Songs. It’s Odetari’s 16th career entry on the chart, and sixth top 10. His first hit, “Narcissistic Personality Disorder,” reached No. 10 in May 2023, followed by “Good Loyal Thots” (No. 8); “Look Don’t Touch,” with Cade Clair (No. 9); “GMFU,” with 6arelyhuman (No. 5); and “I Love You Hoe,” with 9lives (No. 3).
Trending on Billboard
Odetari’s music style is fast-paced and hectic EDM, a genre that he calls “ODECORE.” Earlier this year, Billboard reported that Odetari has a unique approach to releasing his songs. While the original versions of his songs are posted on his primary Odetari Spotify profile, various other versions and remixes of his songs are released under a separate Spotify profile called ODECORE. “[He] frequently has two to three different versions of records coming out a month,” explained Corey Calder, svp of marketing and creative services at Artist Partner Group, Odetari’s label. “If we were to have that all sit on his page, it would feel cluttered and make it hard for his fanbase to follow and track it all.”
It’s a growing trend that has also been adopted by Odetari’s collaborator and labelmate 6arelyhuman, who releases music under his own name, plus remixes under the name Sassy Scene.
Before Odetari’s music career took flight last year, Billboard reported that in February he was substitute-teaching at a high school in his native Houston. He said that he would even upload his music during school hours. “The students were, like, hitting their dab pens in class, secretly under their sleeves,” he said. “The teachers walked in and smelled it and were like, ‘You should have been supervising the class better.’”
By the end of 2023, Odetari wrapped at No. 7 on Billboard’s Top Dance/Electronic Artists annual recap. He also landed six songs on the year-end Hot Dance/Electronic Songs ranking, including “Good Loyal Thots” and “Look Don’t Touch” at Nos. 16 and 19, respectively.
GloRilla’s debut album Glorious is set to release this Friday, and the rapper sits down to discuss it in detail. She talks about her preparation for the album, the mentorship she received from J. Cole, her friendship with Megan Thee Stallion and possibility of a joint album, her friendship with Damian Lillard and more!
Billboard’s Carl Lamarre: Today is a glorious day.
GloRilla:Yeah!
Because we got big Glo. Miss GloRilla in the building in New York City with us, the way you’ve been wrecking s–t, might as well say that. How you feeling?
I feel great. I feel glorious.
Your album comes out.
I’m super excited. Never been so excited in my life.
I mean, you put out two dope projects, obviously, Ehhthang Ehhthang, talk about how that project specifically had you ready to go for your debut album.
OK, so actually, last year I was supposed to drop my debut album, but I was just still, you know what I’m saying, getting used to stuff and working a lot and trying to figure out, you know what I’m saying. When the top of the year came, I had the project basically done, and I’m like, “OK, I gotta get ‘em a mixtape before I get ‘em the album, because I went a whole year, really, without dropping anything. That’s why I said I’m gonna give ‘em the mixtape first, get ‘em back used to me, give ‘em a feel of me, and then that’s gonna prep me for the album. Mixtape did good, and it did what it’s supposed to do, which prepped me for my album.
I mean, listen, we’re talking about three surefire bangers this year: “TGIF,” “Yeah, Glo!,” “Wanna Be” — did you anticipate this kind of success? That’s three top 10s on the Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop charts.

But regardless of experience level, these producers — selected based on their histories on the Billboard Hot 100 and Billboard’s Hot 100 producers chart, along with placements on other charts — are helping to define music’s future.

It seems everything Shed Seven touches turns to Liquid Gold, with the rockers scoring their second No. 1 album of 2024 on the U.K. Official Album Charts.
Their latest project, Liquid Gold, follows their first-ever chart-topper A Matter of Time back in January, putting them in some seriously elite company. They now stand shoulder-to-shoulder with legends like The Beatles, Queen, Elton John, Diana Ross, Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran, and ABBA—artists who’ve managed to land two U.K. No. 1 albums in a single year.

Just behind Shed Seven, Bring Me The Horizon jumped to No. 2 with POST HUMAN: NeX GEn, thanks to its physical release. The album previously peaked at No. 5 back in June and has now marked the group’s fifth Top 10 album.
Meanwhile, North-West London rapper Nines hit No. 4 with his sixth and final album Quit While You’re Ahead, while Ed Sheeran’s +–=÷× (Tour Collection) secured the No. 5 spot, making this Ed’s eighth Top 10 album.
In a big moment for jazz, Ezra Collective broke into the Top 10 for the first time with Dance, No One’s Watching, debuting at No. 7.

Ezra Collective previously earned Top 40 success with their Mercury Prize-winning Where I’m Meant To Be in 2022, but this leap to the Top 10 marks a game-changer for the genre.
Elsewhere, Manchester’s Pale Waves made waves of their own with their fourth studio album Smitten, landing at No. 13, while indie veterans Maximo Park claimed No. 21 with Stream of Life, keeping their streak of Top 40 albums intact.

The band’s return to Australia comes after a string of sold-out dates across Europe and the U.S., reflecting the huge demand for Oasis nearly 25 years after their debut. U.S. dates include a stop at Madison Square Garden in New York on June 14 and a show at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles on June 21.
As part of the reunion tour, fans can expect to hear hits from the band’s extensive catalog, including tracks like “Wonderwall,” “Champagne Supernova,” and “Don’t Look Back in Anger,” which saw Oasis emerge as one of the most influential rock bands of the ’90s.
Oasis’ impact in Australia has been major. Their second album, (What’s the Story) Morning Glory?, spent four weeks at No. 1 on the ARIA Albums Chart and is certified eight times platinum. The single “Wonderwall” was also voted the No. 1 song in triple j’s “Hottest 100” for 1995.
Pre-sale tickets for the Australian leg of the tour will be available starting Wednesday, Oct. 9, with general sale beginning on Tuesday, Oct. 15.
The Gallaghers will kick off the North American leg of their tour with two shows at Toronto’s Rogers Stadium on Aug. 24 and 25, followed by a performance at Chicago’s Soldier Field on August 28.
They’ll then head to New Jersey for two nights at MetLife Stadium on August 31 and Sept. 1, before wrapping up the U.S. run with two shows at the Rose Bowl in Los Angeles on Sept. 6 and 7. The band will also make a stop in Mexico City on Sept. 12. These are Oasis’ first North American shows in over 16 years.
The last time Oasis played the U.S. in 2008 on the Dig Out Your Soul tour they performed in 10,000-20,000 capacity arenas. The stadiums on their upcoming North American swing will accommodate between 45,000-80,000+ fans.
