Can Drake's New Chart Records Ever Be Beat & Who Else Could Put Up These Numbers?
Drake flooded the zone when he released three new albums -- ICEMAN, HABIBTI and MAID OF HONOUR -- all on May 15, and now he's reaping the chart rewards, debuting in the top three slots on the Billboard 200 albums chart and landing 42 new songs on the Billboard Hot 100 and becoming the first artist to surpass 400 entries on the tally. On the new Billboard Pop Shop Podcast, Katie & Keith are discussing just how unprecedented Drake's chart stats are and whether there are any other musicians who could put up these kinds of numbers. What if Taylor Swift released three albums in one day? Or if Morgan Wallen decided to put out a triple-album next after previously holding the Hot 100 record with 37 concurrent hits? Or maybe a streaming-favorite act like Travis Scott could pull off the prolific feat? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

How Can BTS, Madonna & Shakira All Squeeze Into an 11-Minute World Cup Halftime Show?
Madonna only had "4 Minutes" to save the world, and now the Queen of Pop, Shakira and BTS only have 11 minutes to stage the first-ever World Cup halftime show. On the new Billboard Pop Shop Podcast, Katie & Keith are talking about how the three superstar acts might share their time during the 2026 World Cup final game on Sunday, July 19, at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. One theory we have: Each act will have around three minutes to do a medley of their new music and their biggest hits, and then all three could come together for a new version of Shak's just-released World Cup anthem "Dai Dai" (originally also featuring Burna Boy). We'll have to wait until the soccer world championship in July to find out, but in the meantime, listen to our conversation now. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Linda Perry Talks 'Let It Die Here' Documentary & Album, Plus 4 Non Blondes' 'What's Up?' Viral Moment: 'You Can't Buy That Kind of Marketing'
Between her time as the frontwoman for 4 Non Blondes, her legendary songwriting catalog (for Christina Aguilera, P!nk, Gwen Stefani, Alicia Keys and more), her own solo career, and her outspoken activism, Linda Perry has already lived countless lives in the public eye. But the new documentary Linda Perry: Let It Die Here peels back brand-new layers to the musical firebrand, from being a mom to 9-year-old Rhodes to losing her own mother just after the singer/songwriter was diagnosed with breast cancer and underwent a double mastectomy. In addition to the film -- which premiered at the 2024 Tribeca Film Festival and is now in select theaters -- Perry also released the album Let It Die Here on Friday, her first solo album in more than a decade. When Perry sat down with the Billboard Pop Shop Podcast in March, she explained that the film and album were both a bit unexpected, with the documentary emerging from director Dan Hardy asking if he could shadow her in the studio and the album sort of pouring out from there.
