Which Artists Have Stayed at Hot 100 No. 1 for 11 Weeks? | Billboard News

With Shaboozey holding the No. 1 spot on the Hot 100 for 11 weeks now, we’re taking a look back at which other artists have held the No. 1 spot that long with their own hits. Keep watching to find out who!

Tetris Kelly:

Rising star Shaboozey has been holding on to the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 for 11 weeks with his hit “A Bar Song (Tipsy).” And he’s not the only one. Here are some other songs that have held the No. 1 spot on the Hot 100 for exactly 11 weeks. The first song on our list is the most recent song to achieve this beat: Roddy Ricch’s 2020 hit “The Box.” The song became a viral sensation on social media, becoming Roddy Ricch’s first No. 1 on the Hot 100. The next one was the biggest song of 2018 on the year-end Hot 100 list, Drake’s “God’s Plan.” The song became Drake’s fourth No. 1 and his first song to debut at No. 1 on the chart. Up next, this song was on the soundtrack of one of the most iconic 2000s movies, ‘Charlie’s Angels’: Destiny’s Child, “Independent Women, Part 1.” The song became Destiny’s Child’s third No. 1 on the Hot 100 and the longest-running No. 1 for a female group. Next up is a classic ballad from a ’90s-era diva — Toni Braxton’s” Unbreak My Heart” — and it was her second song to hit No. 1 on the Hot 100. And the first one to stay at No. 1 for 11 total weeks back in 1994: boy band All-4-One’s “I Swear.” The song is actually a cover of country artist John Michael Montgomery’s song of the same name, which was already a country chart smash earlier in 1994.

NBA Star Jaylen Brown Picks This Ice Spice Track as ‘Worst Song’ of All Time | Billboard News

Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown sat down with A$AP Ferg and revealed which Ice Spice song he thinks is “the worst song of all time.” Keep watching to see which one.

Tetris Kelly:

NBA star Jalen Brown revealed his pick for the worst song of all time — and Ice Spice isn’t going to be too happy to hear it. 

A$AP Ferg:

Worst song all time?

Jaylen Brown:

I can’t, I’m not even going to say it, because they’re going to think I’m hating. 

A$AP Ferg:

Say it, it’s an opinion. 

Brown and A$AP Ferg sat down with Complex for an episode of GOAT Talk, where JB reluctantly went with Ice Spice’s “Think U the Sh– (Fart).”

Jaylen Brown:

The one that came to mind was the Ice Spice joint. “I’m not even a fart. You thought I was the sh*t. I’m not even a-“

A$AP Ferg:

Oh, why are you not jacking that? It don’t sound good coming from a woman. You feel that?

Jaylen Brown

Nah. 

A$AP Ferg:

Because women is people too. They can fart and sh*t.

Jaylen Brown:

Ah, see. 

Tetris Kelly:

The New York versus Boston rivalry never ends. “Think U the Sh– (Fart)” became Ice Spice’s highest-charting solo single when it debuted at No. 37 on the Billboard Hot 100 earlier this year. Ice Spice can return by critiquing Jaylen Brown’s rap debut, which came on “Just Do It” with A$AP Ferg in August. Perhaps we’ll see the Bronx queen courtside when the New York Knicks open up this season against Jaylen Brown’s defending champion Boston Celtics next month.

You know you’re a legend when Diplo, Orville Peck, The Blessed Madonna, Bebe Rexha and Tove Lo all hop on your sequel album. No word on who may join Kylie on the road, but drop a comment with your home country if you’d like to see the Tension Tour make a stop in your area.

Troye Sivan Shares the Flirtatious Inspo for ‘One of Your Girls’ | How It Went Down | Billboard News

Troye Sivan shares how a flirtatious exchange led the way as inspiration for “One of Your Girls.” Keep watching to see how he got Ross Lynch to be in the video and more!

Troye Sivan:
Hey, it’s Troye Sivan, and this is how it went down for my song “One of Your Girls.”

So weirdly, one of your girls actually started in kind of a sad way. Oscar Görres was in L.A. He’s a producer from Sweden, and he was going through some, like, personal stuff at the time, and he was feeling kind of down, and so he went into the studio and started building this track, and he recorded, like, the little vocal thing that you hear in the very beginning of the song. I was freaking out. I was, like, totally, totally obsessed with it. And weirdly, that weekend, there was this one particular guy who had been flirting with me for a really long time. I had never been with a guy before, and I said to him, I texted him, “Let me know if you’re feeling gay on Saturday night,” because he said sometimes he feels to be gay when he, like, drinks. And so then I come in on Monday, full of this, like, inspiration. We wrote the verses first about this, like, this guy that everybody wants and that, you know, like, girls want him, guys want him — tall and has good style and, like, has good taste. It just really started with this, like, pining and this yearning, and then we got stuck on the chorus. We wrote the pre-chorus that day. We had the like, face card. And I thought that was so sick, and I was really obsessed.

Jussie Smollett on ‘Empire’ Influence, New Movie ‘The Lost Holiday’ & Facing Public Scrutiny | Billboard News

After starring in ‘Empire’ and creating his own films ‘B-Boy Blues’ and ‘The Lost Holiday,’ Jussie Smollett sits down to share how ‘Empire’ contributed to his growth, what it was like to create ‘The Lost Holiday,’ and his experiences facing public scrutiny.

Billboard magazine is pleased to welcome Jussie Smollett. Good to see you, sir.

Thank you for having me. Nice to see you too. 

Good, good. Mr. Multi-Hyphenate, between singing, acting, directing, songwriting, producing, and probably more I don’t even know about, but I wanted to ask you about how singing and acting work creatively together for you. Why is that such a thing for you?

I’ve been so blessed and a little lucky, you know, to be able to do certain projects that just so happened to have a musical component, particularly obviously with ‘Empire,’ that was just the perfect kind of marriage of so many of my loves. Music has always been the driving force behind everything I do, even when making movies, when creating, now that I’m directing and writing and producing and things like that. It’s still, music is the thing that I listen to when I’m writing. Music is the thing that I’m listening to as I’m creating the storyboards of how the scenes are gonna look. And then music is absolutely what guides the edit. So music is just, you know, it’s where I sit.

When you were cast and filming that first season, did you think it was going to do what it did?

I didn’t think about it, because I was just so happy to have a job, and I was so happy to be doing what I love, and, you know, working with great people. And I really didn’t think about that. I just trusted the process.

Regular Hip-Hop heads are into retro sneakers and this man is into retro automobiles. He’s on another level.

Arcángel Plays Fishing for Answers | Billboard

Arcángel answers some questions while at RUMBAZO and shares who his celebrity crush is, his reaction to seeing Jay-Z and Beyonce, and more!

Hi, I’m Arcángel La Maravilla and I’m playing Fishing for Questions. I’m going to fish out the first one. Name a time in which you were excited to see an artist? I had the chance to go to the best boxing fight in history. Manny Pacquiao vs Floyd Mayweather. Right here in Las Vehas. And I was like really close to them, I had the opportunity to be very close. And Michael Jordan passed me by, Jay-Z and Beyonce. I’ve always been a big fan of Jay-Z. I’ll always be. And Jordan is like… I grew up with him, I got very excited because they passed me by and I even thought I could take some of their aura to see if I could get something to stick. A couple of their millions. Who was your first celebrity crush? It was probably my mom. Yes, my mom is the… the first artists. For those who don’t know, my mother sang merengue before I even knew how to speak. My mom gave up her dream as an artist belonging to one of the most important groups in the history of Latin music. The first female group, Las Chicas de Nueva York and Las Chicas de Can, under the direction of the great master Wilfrido Vargas. That’s where I come from. My mom didn’t want to sing. My mother wanted to have me.

Cardi B and Offset go back and forth on social media about their relationship. Keep watching to see what they both had to say.

Tetris Kelly:

While preparing for Paris Fashion Week, Cardi B took to Instagram Live last night to address her husband Offset. She kicked a verse about being cuffed up too long before telling her soon-to-be ex-husband to stop trying to threaten her with court and to move on. While this was happening on Live, Offset accused Cardi of cheating while pregnant. Cardi then took to X and responded by tweeting, “AND DID !!!!!!” 

They continued back and forth in now-deleted IG comments. First Offset said, “Everybody can see I don’t want you!” Which forced Cardi to leak text messages of Offset indeed wanting her. This was after she warned him that she would expose their text messages. Cardi B filed for divorce for a second time back in July and she’s also seeking primary custody of their kids.
