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.

Tyler, The Creator earns new career milestones on Billboard’s charts, thanks to his latest album, Chromakopia.
The set debuts at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 (dated Nov. 9) with 299,500 equivalent album units earned in the U.S. in the Oct. 25-31 tracking week, according to Luminate – Tyler, The Creator’s biggest week ever in terms of units. Notably, the set was released on an off-cycle Monday (Oct. 28); thus, its first-week sum is from only four days of activity. (Most albums are released on Fridays, giving them a full seven days of activity in their opening chart weeks.)
The LP sold 66,000 on vinyl, the third-biggest debut week for a rap album on vinyl since Luminate began tracking sales in 1991.

Incredibly, it’s been twenty years since JC Chasez released his debut solo album, Schizophrenic — his first and only solo foray following his time in *NSYNC. But after all that time — during which Chasez has explored various creative outlets, from judging America’s Best Dance Crew to, more recently, reuniting on two songs with his former bandmates — Chasez is back with an unexpected release.

Playing With Fire is the concept album for a musical based on Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, which Chasez co-wrote with longtime collaborator Jimmy Harry — and the singer stopped by Billboard News to discuss the project and how it pushed him creatively.
“We knew we wanted to write a musical, we just didn’t know what about,” says Chasez of the seeds of the project. “[Jimmy and I] come from pop music — we write different styles of pop music, but essentially our strengths are in pop music. [But] we’re more mature, we have more ideas than just the typical pop song, and this gave us the opportunity to express those ideas — to do something that’s bigger than three minutes and is a bit more focused but allows us to dream in different ways.”
Chasez is a deep theater fan who admits, “I could go to a show every night if I was lucky enough,” and he says Jesus Christ Superstar was their biggest inspiration for Playing With Fire. “They started with a concept album, and that’s kind of what inspired us to release it as an album first. If someone as smart and talented as Andrew Lloyd Webber thinks [it’s a good idea] is to release the music for a show first, why don’t we give it a shot?”
He also opens up about reuniting with *NSYNC for both “Better Place” (from Trolls Band Together) and “Paradise” from Justin Timberlake’s Everything I Thought I Was. “We’re all great friends, and we’re always talking,” says Chasez. “The conversation has been a little more open — right now I’m focusing on Playing with Fire, Justin’s on tour, Joey’s about to do & Juliet [on Broadway], but we’re always talking and anything’s possible in the future. It’s always gotta be for the right reasons.”
And speaking of potential reunions, he speaks about celebrating the 25th anniversary of fellow former Mouseketeer Christina Aguilera’s debut album with her — and the potential for them to do a duet someday: “If it was the right thing and organic, I’d be happy to sing with her anytime,” he says with enthusiasm.
Watch the full interview — including the story behind “Better Place,” how *NSYNC’s performance with Timberlake earlier this year in Los Angeles came together, and how Playing With Fire pushed Chasez vocally — above.
