JENNIE’s latest single, “Love Hangover,” has claimed the top spot in this week’s new music poll, which highlights releases from a variety of artists across genres.
The BLACKPINK star’s solo track, featuring Dominic Fike, received overwhelming support from fans, earning nearly 69% of the vote in a poll published on Friday (Jan. 31) by Billboard.
The win puts “Love Hangover” ahead of other major new releases, including The Weeknd’s Hurry Up Tomorrow, Latto and Playboi Carti’s “Blick Sum (Remix),” Morgan Wallen’s “I’m the Problem,” L.S. Dunes’ Violet, and others.

“Love Hangover” offers a breezy, laidback pop vibe, with a playful rap verse from Fike. The track also introduces fans to the K-pop star’s debut solo album, Ruby, which is set to drop on March 7. The song’s comedic music video features Riverdale star Charles Melton as JENNIE’s leading man.
Announced in late January, Ruby will feature 15 tracks, including the chart-topping single “Mantra,” which reached No. 2 on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart and No. 3 on the Billboard Global 200. The album boasts an impressive list of collaborators, including Childish Gambino, Dua Lipa, Doechii, Dominic Fike, FKJ and Kali Uchis.
In a recent interview with Billboard, JENNIE opened up about the emotional process behind creating Ruby.
“It’s not nice to be someone who’s always like, ‘I’m sorry, I can’t say anything,’” she said of the project she began in early 2024. “I want to say I’m almost there.” Acknowledging the challenges she faced along the way, she added, “I’m just going to say, ‘I don’t do well with time.’”
Taking second place in the poll is JENNIE’s The Idol co-star The Weeknd, whose latest album, Hurry Up Tomorrow, finally dropped after delays caused by the wildfire crisis in Los Angeles. The set earned nearly 17% of the vote. Featuring collaborations with Lana Del Rey, Anitta and Travis Scott, Hurry Up Tomorrow marks the final chapter in The Weeknd’s album trilogy, following 2020’s After Hours and 2022’s Dawn FM.

Bad Bunny’s Debí Tirar Más Fotos develops a third straight week at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart (dated Feb. 8), earning 117,000 equivalent album units in the U.S. in the week ending Jan. 30 (down 22%), according to Luminate.
Also in the top 10 of the latest Billboard 200, new albums from Teddy Swims, Kane Brown and Central Cee all debut.
The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption as measured in equivalent album units, compiled by Luminate. Units comprise album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). Each unit equals one album sale, or 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 3,750 ad-supported or 1,250 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album. The new, Feb. 8, 2025-dated chart will be posted in full on Billboard‘s website on Tuesday (Feb. 4). For all chart news, follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both X, formerly known as Twitter, and Instagram.

Of the 117,000 equivalent album units earned by Debí Tirar Más Fotos in the week ending Jan. 30, SEA units comprise 114,000 (down 22%; equaling 156.18 million on-demand official streams of the set’s songs; it’s No. 1 for a fourth week on Top Streaming Albums), album sales comprise 2,500 (down 45%; falling 11-48 on Top Album Sales) and TEA units comprise 500 (down 31%).
SZA’s former leader SOS is a non-mover at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 (87,000 equivalent album units; down 2%) and Kendrick Lamar’s chart-topping GNX rises 4-3 (60,000; up 1%).
Teddy Swims scores his highest-charting album and first top 10, as I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy (Part 2) debuts at No. 4. The set earned 50,000 equivalent album units, with album sales comprising 26,000 (it debuts at No. 1 on Top Album Sales), SEA units comprising 23,000 (equaling 30.38 million on-demand official streams of the set’s songs; it debuts at No. 17 on Top Streaming Albums) and TEA units totaling 1,000.
The album’s launch of 50,000 marks Swims’ biggest week yet by units earned, while his sales bow of 26,000 is also his best sales week ever. Plus, his streaming start (30.38 million) marks his best streaming week for an album.
The LP is the follow-up to the singer-songwriter’s I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy (Part 1), which spawned 2024’s year-end No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, “Lose Control.” That set topped out at No. 17 but has spent 69 weeks on the list (it slips 21-25 on the latest chart).
The new album was preceded by a pair of charting hits on the weekly Hot 100: “Bad Dreams” and “Are You Even Real” (the latter with Giveon).
The first-week sales of the new album were bolstered by its availability across eight vinyl variants (including a signed edition) and two CD variants (including a signed edition).
Morgan Wallen’s former leader One Thing at a Time climbs 8-5 on the latest Billboard 200 (41,000 equivalent album units; up 9%) while Sabrina Carpenter’s chart-topping Short n’ Sweet stays at No. 6 (just over 40,000; down 7%).
Kane Brown achieves his fifth top 10-charting album on the Billboard 200, as The High Road rides in at No. 7 with 40,000 equivalent album units earned. Of that sum, SEA units comprise 20,000 (equaling 26.76 million on-demand official streams of the set’s songs; it debuts at No. 21 on Top Streaming Albums), album sales comprise 19,000 (it debuts at No. 2 on Top Album Sales) and TEA units comprise 1,000.
The High Road was preceded by four entries on the Hot Country Songs chart: “I Can Feel It,” “Miles On It” (with Marshmello), “Backseat Driver” and “Gorgeous.”
The album’s first-week sales were aided by its availability across nine vinyl variants (including a signed edition), four CD variants (including a signed edition), and three digital download variants (a standard version, plus two with alternative cover art).
Gracie Abrams’ The Secret of Us falls 5-8 on the latest Billboard 200, with 37,000 equivalent album units earned (down 28%).
Rapper Central Cee scores his first top 10, with his first charting album, as Can’t Rush Greatness bows at No. 9 with nearly 37,000 equivalent album units earned. SEA units comprise 27,000 of that sum (equaling 36.91 million on-demand official streams of the set’s songs; it debuts at No. 14 on Top Streaming Albums), album sales comprise 10,000 (debuting at No. 5 on Top Album Sales) and TEA units comprise a negligible sum.
The album was preceded by two charting hits on both Hot Rap Songs and the all-genre Hot 100. On the former, “BAND4BAND” (with Lil Baby) hit No. 4, while “GBP” (featuring 21 Savage) has reached No. 16. On the Hot 100, the tracks hit Nos. 17 and 92, respectively, through the most recently published chart, dated Feb. 1.
Central Cee, who hails from London, scored his first U.S. chart hit with “Doja,” reaching No. 36 on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs in 2022. He’s charted a total of seven hits on that ranking, including collabs with Drake, J. Cole and Ice Spice.
Can’t Rush Greatness debuted at No. 1 on the U.K. Official Albums Chart (his second leader there). Central Cee has notched eight top 10-charting hits on the U.K. Official Singles Chart, including the No. 1 “Sprinter” (with Dave). He also recently nabbed three BRIT Award nominations, including artist of the year.
Closing out the latest top 10 on the Billboard 200 is Billie Eilish’s Hit Me Hard and Soft, slipping 9-10 with 36,000 equivalent album units earned (down 2%).

Jelly Roll was joined by Lainey Wilson, Marshmello, Public Enemy and others for a star-studded benefit concert to support the first responders who battled the recent wildfires in Los Angeles.
On Saturday night (Feb. 1), the “I Am Not Okay” singer performed at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, Calif., before a crowd of nearly 16,000, made up entirely of emergency personnel, including over 1,000 incarcerated firefighters from across the state.
“I want you to know that you are here tonight because you are a hero or you are a loved one of a hero,” the country star told the audience. “And I knew the moment I was watching this go down all the way in Tennessee in my house, I thought if I got a chance to go to California I was gonna play music to everyone who worked their a– off for the last two months trying to keep the rest of this place safe. Thank y’all for having me tonight — this is awesome!”

The two-hour show, dubbed Jelly Roll & Friends, was held in partnership with Live Nation and featured a 30-song setlist. Additional guest performers included Nate Smith and Shinedown.
The Antioch, Tenn., native opened the evening with hits like “Liar,” “Son of a Sinner,” “I Am Not Okay” and “Need a Favor,” before welcoming his special guests to the stage. Highlights of the night included duets with Nate Smith on “Whiskey on You” and with Shinedown on “Second Chance.” Public Enemy and Marshmello also took the stage, performing “Fight the Power” and “Happier,” respectively. The evening came to a close with Jelly Roll and Wilson performing their Grammy-nominated hit “Save Me” and other fan-favorites.

This wasn’t the only benefit concert Jelly Roll participated in to support those impacted by the Southern California wildfires. The six-time Billboard Country Airplay chart-topper also took part in the massive FireAid benefit concert on Jan. 30, held at L.A.’s Intuit Dome and the Kia Forum. The event also featured performances by Billie Eilish, Olivia Rodrigo, Lady Gaga and more.
Is Ye finally looking to move past his troubled history with Taylor Swift?
On Sunday (Feb. 2), just hours before the 67th annual Grammy Awards, the rapper and fashion mogul — formerly known as Kanye West — raised eyebrows regarding his relationship with the pop superstar, posting a cryptic message on his Instagram Story to reveal that he was now following only one person on the platform: Swift.
“1 following,” Ye, 47, posted to his 20.6 million followers, sharing a screenshot of his Instagram page. The next post showed Swift, 35, as the lone person he follows.
As of Saturday night, Ye had unfollowed everyone — including his wife, Bianca Censori — except for Swift, according to TMZ.
Trending on Billboard
In addition to Swift, Ye also posted about his recent Grammy nomination for “Carnival,” his collaboration with Ty Dolla $ign, which is nominated for best rap song at this year’s ceremony. The track, also featuring Rich the Kid and Playboi Carti, hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart last March.
“Thank you to the Grammies for nominating Carnival,” Ye wrote on IG alongside a photo of a Grammy trophy. The image tagged the likes of Swift, Ty Dolla $ign, Playboi Carti, Rich the Kid and the Recording Academy.
It’s still unclear whether Ye will attend the ceremony, which is set to air live from the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. Swift and Beyoncé, both of whom are nominated for album of the year, are expected to be there. Bey leads the nominations with 11, while Swift has six, including her nod for The Tortured Poets Department, alongside Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter.
Ye and Swift’s relationship has been one of the most notorious feuds in the music industry. It all began in 2009 when Ye interrupted Swift’s VMA acceptance speech to declare that Beyoncé deserved the best female video award instead. Though the two eventually reconciled, their tension reignited when Ye claimed in his 2016 track “Famous” that the incident helped launch Swift’s career.
When Swift slammed Ye for the song, he claimed that he got the “Karma” singer’s blessing on a phone call before its release, which she denied. After that, his then-wife Kim Kardashian posted an edited recording of their conversation to portray Swift as a liar, something the latter spoke about as recently as last year.
“You have a fully manufactured frame job, in an illegally recorded phone call, which Kim Kardashian edited and then put out to say to everyone that I was a liar,” she told TIME in her Person of the Year cover story in December 2023. “That took me down psychologically to a place I’ve never been before.

I went down really, really hard.”
