Meghan Mahar:We’re here with Grammy-winning dance legend Steve Angello. You may know him from Swedish House Mafia, but he has plenty of solo work and more to come. Your new single “Hooligans” is out now.
Steve Angello:I was playing Coachella, and I needed that energy and that old ravy kind of Hoover sound. I’m getting technical, but like the Hoover soundy kind of ravy sound. And then, yeah, it was like, straight made for the show. It was to get an effect. Vocals was chopped up for the light production. So it was like, super Steve Angello show music, you know. And then I decided to put it out.
And that was Coachella in 2022.
Yes.
I was there. Great show.
It was a good show. It was fun.
Very fun. And you teamed up with fellow Swedish House Mafia member Sebastian Ingrosso for “Skip.” Would you say those songs have a similar vibe?
Yeah. I mean, it’s like that clubby energy, right? It’s like the ravy clubby, gritty, little darker. It’s that energy.
Why did the two of you link up for “Skip” instead of it being a full Swedish House Mafia track?
I don’t remember the process of it. I think we just, you know, studio one night made a song because we’ve, you know, the history of us. Me and Ax used to do songs back in early 2000s like we’ve always done together and all three and mix and match, you know?

Rosé makes it two records in as many weeks in Australia, where “APT.” retains top spot on the national singles chart.
Earlier, the New Zealand-born, Australia-raised BLACKPINK star ended Sabrina Carpenter’s reign on the ARIA Singles Chart, as “APT.” (via Atlantic/Warner), her collaboration with Bruno Mars, debuted at No. 1.
With that feat, Rosé (born Roseanne Park) became the first solo female K-pop star to top the tally, and just the second solo artist from South Korea to climb the chart ladder after PSY’s “Gangnam Style” spent six weeks on top back in 2012.

“APT.” enters a second week at the summit of the ARIA Chart, marking the first time that a Korean solo artist or group has spent more than a week in the top spot since “Gangnam Style.” She’s the first solo female Korean artist to do so.

Born in Auckland, and raised in Melbourne, Rosé relocated to South Korea aged 15, when the world of K-pop came calling. At her father’s suggestion, she auditioned for South Korean music company YG Entertainment. It was a shrewd move. The rest is music history.
Comprising Rosé, Jisoo, Jennie and Lisa, BLACKPINK is a record-smashing machine – here and everywhere. In 2022, BLACKPINK set the mark for the highest-debuting single by a K-pop group in ARIA Chart History when “Pink Venom” hit No. 1, beating the No. 2 start for BTS’ 2020 hit “Dynamite.”
BLACKPINK’s two studio albums, The Album (from 2020) and Born Pink (2022), both debuted and peaked at No. 2 on the Australian albums survey. In support of Born Pink, the pop group last year embarked on an east coast arena tour of Australia.
A reference to the Korean drinking game aparteu, or apartment in English, “APT.” is the first single from Rosé’s debut album Rosie, which is scheduled to drop on Dec. 6.
The cut bowed at No. 1 on both the Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global Excl. U.S. charts, and opened at No. 4 on the Official U.K. Singles Chart, establishing a new record in the process.

Two other Colombian team-ups –by two artists in a lead role– have landed at the summit on Latin Rhythm Airplay in the 2020s decade, both through Shakira collabs: while “Copa Vacía,” with Manuel Turizo, reigned for one week, “TQG,” with Karol G, dominated for seven weeks, both in 2023.
Before Ovy on The Drums’ secured his fist champ this week as an artist, he managed 12 No. 1s as songwriter and producer (mostly through Karol G songs) spanning his eight-year Billboard chart career. Among those, Becky G and Karol G’s “Mamiii” earned him his longest-leading No. 1 track on Latin Rhythm Airplay, dominating for 10 weeks in 2022.
Elsewhere, “Mírame” holds at its No. 3 high on the overall Latin Airplay chart, Ovy’s highest-charting entry and first top 10 there. Plus, in addition to its radio haul, the song rebounds to No. 15 (from No. 18) on the multi-metric Hot Latin Songs chart with a 4% boost in streams, after it generated 2.3 million official U.S. clicks during the tracking week. The latter blends airplay, streams and digital sales.
