There's plenty of fresh blood in the top five of the Billboard Hot 100 this week, with Tommy Richman's “Million Dollar Baby” debuting at No. 2, Shaboozey's “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” climbing to No. 3, and Sabrina Carpenter. “Espresso” rises to No. 4 (all behind a second week at No. 1 for Taylor Swift’s “Fortnight,” featuring Post Malone).
On the new Billboard Pop Shop podcast, Katie and Keith talk about how the hit trio keeps the chart interesting and what the future holds for the three, including whether any of the songs could rise to No. 1.

Also on the show, we're talking about the inescapable feud between Kendrick Lamar and Drake and when (or if!) it might ever end. Additionally, Madonna wrapped up her celebratory tour in Brazil on Saturday night, reportedly playing to 1.6 million people on Rio's Copacabana beach. Keith streamed the entire concert and we're talking about why the epic show was so special.
