It’s Friday, October 13th, and we’re breaking down this week’s music releases. Bad Bunny dropped a new full-length album, TXT’s new LP is here and more. We have an exclusive interview with Metro Boomin. Megan Thee Stallion teased her new album and revealed that she is not currently signed to a label. And more!
Tetris Kelly:
Megan Thee Stallion says she’s completely self-funded. We talked with chart-topper and cover star Metro Boomin. Shakira goes Fishing for Answers. We take you inside this week’s hottest music events, and give you new tracks to add to your playlist.
It’s almost the weekend, but first, we’ve got some Billboard News to get to. I’m Tetris Kelly, it’s Friday, October 13th, aka Jimin’s birthday.
And let’s talk new music.
Bad Bunny said “Surprise!” With little notice, he has given us ‘Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va a Pasar Mañana.’
I had such a good time sitting down with Metro Boomin for the cover of Billboard, but we talked about so much more — take a look.
Your Billboard cover shoot, was this the dream? You feeling good about it?
Metro Boomin:
Yes, it’s a blessing man. It feels great to be here. Still surreal.
Tetris Kelly:
And I mean, at our Power Players event, we gave you a plaque for three No. 1 albums on the Billboard 200. So let’s talk about that success. What are you doing that’s so consistent that you keep topping our charts?
Metro Boomin:
It’s really… I feel like it’s caring. Just like caring enough to take the time where it’s not difficult for me to just take a long time if I need to.
Tetris Kelly:
Well, you’ve got so many hits, like whether they’re your hits, whether other people’s hits you produced on, you know. “Congratulations,” “Tuesday,” “Jumpman,” like what do you feel is the signature Metro Boomin song? What are the fans waiting on? What is the one you close the set with every time you do it?
