This past Friday marked the release of fresh music from three of the most prominent child TV stars who’ve successfully transitioned into pop superstars: Selena Gomez, Miley Cyrus, and Ariana Grande.
Gomez unveiled the lighthearted pop track “Single Soon,” Cyrus shared the introspective ballad “Used to Be Young,” and Grande treated fans to a 10th-anniversary digital deluxe edition of her debut album, Yours Truly. On the latest episode of the Billboard Pop Shop Podcast, hosts Katie and Keith delve into these three releases, discussing their remarkable journeys from children’s TV to dominating the pop charts.
In addition to this, the show features chart updates, including Travis Scott’s Utopia maintaining its No. 1 spot on the Billboard 200 chart for a month. Furthermore, Hozier’s latest release, “Unreal Unearth,” makes an impressive debut in the top 10, and J-Hope’s “Jack in the Box” achieves its first top 10 placement, a year after its original release. Shifting to the Billboard Hot 100, Oliver Anthony Music’s viral hit “Rich Men North of Richmond” retains its No. 1 position, while Doja Cat’s “Paint the Town Red” rapidly ascends into the top 10 for the first time.
