As Bad Bunny debuts 19 songs, he ups his career total to 93 career Hot 100-charting entries. That’s the 18th-most among all acts in history, and he extends his record for the most among artists who primarily record music in a language other than English.
“Monaco” becomes Bad Bunny’s 12th career Hot 100 top 10, also padding his mark for the most among acts core to the Latin genre.
Meanwhile, thanks to their credits on the album, Luar La L, Bryant Myers, YOVNGCHIMI and De La Ghetto all score their first appearances on the Hot 100.
GALE plays Fishing for Answers with Billboard backstage at Billboard’s Latin Music Week 2023.
GALEHello I’m GALE and here I am, Fishing for Answers with Billboard.
GALELet’s see… do you prefer recording or touring?
GALEOh, that’s a tough one. I love the energy I feel in the studio, creating, writing a song. It’s like magic, but I feel like nothing compares to being on stage. Singing your songs and connecting with the audience in that way. It’s like kind of electricity. So a bit of both, being on stage more.
GALEWho is your style icon and why?
GALEUhhh…you know I don’t have a specific person, but I’m really inspired by ’90s fashion, I love that ’90s vibe, everything.
GALEI could stay here until tomorrow.
GALEWho would you love to collaborate with on your next album?
GALEOh I don’t know. Not a specific person, but wow. I just released my first album a few months ago. I’m still in that mindset. Although I’ve started working on new music, I’m just too excited. Well some collaborations I’d love…to name a few Pol Granch, Bruses, Manuel Turizo, Shakira eventually I’d love that. Yes.
GALEHave you met someone who left you starstruck? Who was it?
GALEWell, you see…I’ve thought about this a lot because I started composing with other artists who I’ve had the opportunity to write with artists I admire, a lot like…Christina Aguilera and Shakira, who I grew up listening to. Imitating, well, everything. But starstruck? No it hasn’t happened to me. Daddy Yankee. Maybe with him the starstruck feeling could happen, I’ll get back to you.

Billboard’s weekly Hot 100 Songwriters and Hot 100 Producers charts are based on total points accrued by a songwriter and producer, respectively, for each attributed song that appears on the Hot 100. As with Billboard’s yearly recaps, multiple writers or producers split points for each song equally (and the dividing of points will lead to occasional ties on rankings). Billboard launched its Hot 100 Songwriters and Hot 100 Producers charts, as well as genre-specific rankings for country, rock & alternative, R&B/hip-hop, R&B, rap, Latin, Christian, gospel and dance/electronic in June 2019. Alternative and hard rock joined in 2020, along with seasonal holiday rankings in 2022.

The way pop singer/songwriter Troye Sivan describes his new album Something to Give Each Other, it’s really about “every sort of connection being beautiful in its own way, and of togetherness and community and joy.”
On the new Billboard Pop Shop Podcast (listen to Sivan’s interview, below), the musician and actor says that he wrote the just-released project “over a long period of time” and realized at one point that “the overarching themes of the last two-and-a-half-three years of my life are mostly really joyous themes.”
Sonically, Sivan says the only intent with the new album was that he knew he was very “drawn to warmth.” He says in the past, it’s “sort of been like this melancholy warmth, and this time I didn’t feel that way.”
“I talk a lot about Janet Jackson,” Sivan tells Pop Shop hosts Katie and Keith, “because she’s so important to me, but I saw her show at the Hollywood Bowl really early on in the process. And, to me, it took me right back to when was I was like, however old I was, I was probably like 7… hearing ‘Together Again’ for the first time. And that melody and those chords and the warmth that’s in that song literally changed the trajectory of my life. The trajectory of my life as a musician and as a songwriter, specifically. And that’s something that I was really really striving for [on the new album]. I wanted something warm.”
The album’s lead single “Rush” brought the warmth – and the heat! – when it was released in July. It reached the top 40 on the Billboard Global 200 chart and hit the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. The “scorching” track was accompanied by an equally hot, dance-heavy music video, directed by Gordon von Steiner (who also “creative directed” the album) and lensed by cinematographer Stuart Winecoff (who also photographed Something’s album cover).
But the video didn’t necessarily come easy, Sivan says. “First things first, considering all of my references for a good pop star growing up, were those who made these mega mega mega videos where the budgets were very very different from what they are now. I had so many times, in so many meetings (where people said), like ‘music videos don’t matter, the music is dead,’ and I pushed and pushed and pushed and I’m so grateful that we go to make the music video of my dreams for ‘Rush’ … It went wider than I think anything ever has of mine before, and that’s really cool. I’m very grateful and thankful.”
“Rush” was followed by two more buzzy singles and videos, both from the von Steiner and Winecoff teaming: “Got Me Started” (which features Sivan and his co-stars dancing through Bangkok) and “One of Your Girls” (in which Sivan is seen through a whole new light, alongside his main co-star, musician and actor Ross Lynch).
With Something to Give Each Other now out for fans to listen to, will Sivan bring that special Something on tour soon? Though he doesn’t have a plan yet, he’s thinking about it – and he’s feeling the pressure. “I’m intimidated because … when this tour happens, I want it to be the tour of my life. I really do. And I want to give the big pop show that I think this album is asking for, and these visuals [his music videos] are asking for. And so it’s a big job. … So, I’m gonna take a second and regroup and then figure it out. For some reason, I really really really feel the pressure, I really do.”

The set launches at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with 402,000 equivalent album units earned in its opening week (Oct. 6-12), according to Luminate. That’s the fourth-biggest week of the year, after only the first frames of Taylor Swift’s Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) (716,000 units), Morgan Wallen’s One Thing at at Time (501,000) and Travis Scott’s Utopia (496,000).
For All the Dogs tallied 514 million on-demand official streams for its 23 tracks in its first week, the fourth-highest single-week sum ever for an album. The biggest streaming weeks were achieved by first weeks of Drake’s own Scorpion (745.9 million, 2018) and Certified Lover Boy (743.7 million, 2021) and Swift’s Midnights (549.3 million, 2022).

Cole, debuts at No. 1, becoming Drake’s 13th career leader, tying him with Michael Jackson for the most among solo males. (J. Cole claims his first No. 1.)
Drake’s 38 weeks at No. 1 on the Artist 100 are the most among males in the chart’s nine-year history, and second overall only to Swift’s 81.
Rounding out the Artist 100’s top five, Swift dips to No. 2, Morgan Wallen falls 2-3, Olivia Rodrigo holds at No. 4 and Zach Bryan repeats at No. 5.
Elsewhere, NCT 127 re-enters at No. 8, thanks to the group’s new set Fact Check: The Fifth Album. The collection opens at No. 16 on the Billboard 200 and No. 1 on World Albums, where it’s the act’s seventh leader, with 31,000 units.
