Bruno Mars and Lady Gaga have been independently ruling pop radio for the past almost 15 years, and last week, they finally came together for their first collab: the bombastic pop/rock duet “Die With a Smile.”
On the new Billboard Pop Shop Podcast, Katie & Keith are talking about why they make such a potent pop duo. Plus, we’re also chatting about F-1 Trillion, Post Malone’s first country album and why it’s such a seamless fit in the genre.
Also on the show, we’ve got chart news how Taylor Swift meets Carole King in the chart history books as The Tortured Poets Department spends a 15th week at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, how Chappell Roan’s The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess climbs to No. 2 on the Billboard 200 for the first time, and how Billie Eilish’s “Birds of a Feather” steps into the top five on the Billboard Hot 100.
