New Song 2019

Few rappers have made the jump to popular music's A-list as successfully this decade as Atlanta rapper Lil Baby, whose 2020 album My Turn topped the Billboard 200 albums chart for five weeks and spawned major hits like "Emotionally Scarred," "Woah," and (from its deluxe edition) "We Paid" and "The Bigger Picture." This month, Lil Baby returns with that set's proper follow-up, It's Only Me — which was preceded with a slow trickle of one- and two-off single releases. The set bows atop the Billboard 200 this week with 216,000 equivalent album units moved and all 23 tracks appearing on the Billboard Hot 100, making it one of the year's most dominant streaming releases. Is the album a step up for Lil Baby? And where would we have him go next? Billboard staffers discuss these questions and more below. 1. It's been two years since  My Turn  officially introduced Lil...

In 1976, a student named Larry Mullen Jr. put up a notice at Mount Temple Comprehensive School: "Drummer seeks musicians to form band." This is how the members of U2 met, a moment specifically commemorated in Bono's new memoir, Surrender: 40 Songs, One Story (out November 1). U2 are, at this point, the only rock band of their stature that still has the original lineup: No one's overdosed, no one's been fired, no one's left the group in pursuit of a solo career. Yes, they own houses in the south of France and show up in the occasional gossip column and Bono jets off to Davos every year, but they are still very much a band, and there's something remarkable in the fact that they continue to remain a going concern. The traditional path to success in the music industry pretty much no longer exists, and if it did, a band like U2 never would have gotten the creative control they asked for — and received. No record label still in business tod...

New York rapper Lil Tjay is back in action, as he had his first-in-a-while performance on Friday night (Sept. 23) at Rolling Loud New York at Citi Field in Queens. His RL set marked his first show since being shot seven times during an attempted robbery in June. "Hey yo, look, I'm feeling good today," Tjay said as he opened his set while wearing a bulletproof vest. "I'm feeling blessed. Thanks to everybody that popped out here today. We going up." Tjay, who appeared to be in great shape, performed a 13-track set on the Fashion Nova Stage, including his biggest singles, "Calling My Phone," "Run It Up," and "F.N." He also showcased his Polo G-collaboration "Pop Out," and singles with the late-Pop Smoke "War" and "Mood Swings." He performed his 2022 single "In My Head" for the first time, as well. Showing love to hi...
