Looking at the top of the Billboard Hot 100, there are plenty of big-voice hits: Teddy Swims' “Lose Control” at No. 1 and Benson Boone's “Beautiful Things” at No. 2.
On the new Billboard Pop Shop Podcast, Katie and Keith talk about where these two hits came from, if we're to look at last year's explosion of male country hits in the upper reaches of the Hot 100 (Luke Combs, Zach Bryan, Oliver Anthony , among others) or even go back to the 2000s and 2010s to find pop-rock hits from Gavin DeGraw or Ray LaMontagne.
We also received some evidence from our own Advertising sign to fellow chart-toppers Gary Trust, Kevin Rutherford and Jim Asker to get an idea of who could be the next powerhouse male voice to climb our ranks. Listen to the entire podcast below:
Also on the show, we have new charts for Swims' “Lose Control,” which completes one of the longest climbs to No. 1 ever on the Billboard Hot 100, as well as on the Billboard 200 album chart, Kacey Musgraves and Justin Timberlake take a dip with their latest albums debuting in the top five.
And Lady Gaga steps into her postChromatica time? We're gathering all the clues as to what he'll do next.
