Hey, everybody, and welcome to the
Billboard
Pop Shop Podcast. I'm Keith Caulfield, Billboard
Senior Director of Charts.Share
Katie Atkinson
00:38
And I'm Katie Atkinson,
Billboard's
Executive Digital Director, West Coast.Share
Keith Caulfield
00:43
Hi Katie, how are you?
Share
Katie Atkinson
00:44
Hi Keith, I'm doing great, how about you?
Share
Keith Caulfield
00:46
Good. Have you figured out what the kids are going to be wearing for Halloween yet?
Share
Katie Atkinson
00:49
Oh well, Calvin is desperate to be a pirate, so that has been decided. So I don't know. Maybe Natalie could be his parrot. I was thinking, you know like on his shoulder.
Share
Keith Caulfield
01:06
Yeah. I was gonna say like, oh she can be like a flower because she's really, she's not that little. I mean she's a human and she can walk. Can she toddle around?
Share
Katie Atkinson
01:15
Yeah, she can walk. She runs, she's fast.
Share
Keith Caulfield
01:18
A parrot would be like, she's fast. She runs away, I can't catch her.
Share
Katie Atkinson
01:23
A parrot could be cute, right?
Share
Keith Caulfield
01:25
Yeah, I mean and it could be kind of easy to pull off.
Share
Katie Atkinson
01:29
I think so too, I'm gonna work on that.
Share
Keith Caulfield
01:31
You're crafty, you'll figure it out.
Share
01:33
Well as always, the
Billboard
Pop Shop Podcast is your one-stop-shop for all things pop and sometimes Halloween on Billboard's
weekly charts. In addition, you can always count on a lively discussion about the latest pop news, fun chart stats and stories, new music and guest interviews with music stars and folks from the world of pop.Share
01:52
Today on the show, we've got chart news on how
Lil Nas X
and Jack Harlow's
, Industry Baby,
jumps to number one for the first time on the Billboard Hot 100
songs chart. How Dua Lipa's
, Levitating
, ties for the second most weeks ever in the top 10 on the Hot 100.
And how Adele's
, Easy On Me
, makes a splashy debut on an array of charts after only a few days of release.Share
Katie Atkinson
02:15
And on that same note, Keith and I have got to talk about how excited we are for the return of
Adele
. Let's talk about the new song, the press tour. Just all of the Adele
action we've been getting over the past few days and we love it.Share
Keith Caulfield
02:30
It's going to be just like every show is going to be, they're gonna have a touch of
Adele
on almost every pod from here forward.Share
Katie Atkinson
02:36

Keith Caulfield
02:53
Alrighty, let's do the chart chat. First up, there's a new number 1 song on the
Billboard Hot 100
chart as Lil Nas X
and Jack Harlow's
, Industry Baby,
bumps from number 2 to number 1. Giving Lil Nas X
his third leader, and Harlow
his first. In the weekend, in October 14th in the U. S
., the track drew 64 million in radio airplay audience impressions, which was up 10 percent.Share
03:19
It had 23.2 million streams, that's actually down 1 percent. And it's sold 34,000 downloads. Up, oh you know, just 564 percent. Of course, all those numbers are according to MRC data.
Share
03:35
You might be wondering, golly that sold a lot this week. What the heck happened? Well, there were two new configurations released of
Industry Baby
during the tracking week. One that came with a quote, alternative digital single cover, and there was also an extended remix of the track. Both versions, along with the original version of the track, were all discounted to 69 cents at digital retailers during the tracking week.Share
04:06
So, clearly a lot of fans were engaged and wanted to pick up all the different versions of the song. Maybe perhaps thinking that would help it get to number 1.
Share
Katie Atkinson
04:14
I think that's probably correct. And while we have seen
Lil Nas X
up there twice already before this, it's Jack Harlow's
first time at number 1. So, that's kind of exciting.Share
Keith Caulfield
04:24
That's right! He peaked at number 2 previously with
WHATS POPPIN
.Share
04:31
Well, next up.
Dua Lipa's,
Levitating,
ties Post Malone's,
Circles,
for the second most weeks ever in the top 10 on the Hot 100
. As a Levitating
spends its 39th week in the region, Levitating
earlier, peaked at number 2.Share
04:48
Both tracks trail the record holder for the most weeks in the top 10, which is
The Weeknd's,
Blinding Lights.
With, oh, just 57 weeks in the top 10. This week on the Hot 100
, Levitating
is a non mover at number 8.Share
05:03
Can
Levitating
hold on for another week in the top 10? Could it fight Blinding Lights
for the most weeks ever in the top 10? Will this song be in the top 10 next year? Stay tuned.Share
Katie Atkinson
05:14
Well, my question is, is there any chance
The Weeknd's,
Blinding Lights,
comes back into the top 10? It's not like it's that far removed from it.Share
Keith Caulfield
05:23
Blinding Lights
is no longer on the chart, Katie.Share
Katie Atkinson
05:26
Okay. Alright, okay. It's been a minute though. Like it's just to be fair, it's a pretty recent record that it's set.
Share
Keith Caulfield
05:33
Yeah, I mean, I guess
Blinding Lights
could always miraculously come back if there's like a new Christmas remix or something?Share
Katie Atkinson
05:40
Right, there you go.
Share
Keith Caulfield
05:40
That would actually be tracked under a different version of the song. Never mind, now we're getting a little bit too nuanced.
Share
05:47
Okay, well, last, but certainly not least.
Adele's
new single, Easy On Me,
debuts at number 68 on the Hot 100
. Thanks only to its first handful of hours of availability on the night of Thursday, October 14th. The track premiered in the United States
at 7 p. m. Eastern on October 14th and the weekly Hot 100
charts metrics, which measure airplay, sales and streaming data in the U. S..
Ended at the close of business or midnight on Thursday night.Share
06:19
That happens every week. There wasn't just this week that we decided to do it on Thursday.
Easy
debuts with about 3.1 million in U. S.
streams, 3.1 million in airplay audience impressions. Well, that's a coincidence. And it sold about 15,000 in its first 5 hours. The song is likely to challenge for the number 1 one slot next week on the Hot 100
, following its first full week of tracking.Share
06:43
Easy
is Adele's
14th Hot 100
entry and first since April of 2017. She has 4 number 1's so far on the chart with Rolling in the Deep
, Someone Like You
, Set Fire to the Rain,
and Hello.
Easy
also gets started on a number of other Billboard
charts, including some eye popping debuts on our airplay charts. After only three days of tracking.Share
07:09
Most of
Billboard's
airplay charts track on a Monday through Sunday week. So, Easy,
has a little over three days of airplay on the following charts. And this is just a sampling of charts that it debuts on, because it debuts on a number of charts.Share
07:24
So, on the pop airplay chart, it arrives at number 21, which is the highest debut in over 2 years. On adult pop airplay, it starts at number 14, the highest debut for a song released in 2021.
Share
07:37
And on the adult contemporary airplay chart, it starts at number 6, the first top 10 debut for a non holiday song, since the chart adopted MRC data tracking information in 1993. It's just the beginning, folks. It's just the beginning.
Share
Katie Atkinson
07:55
Yeah, stations were clearly eager to start playing this one. I think Gary's article talked about some pop stations playing it hourly once it came out on Thursday.
Share
Keith Caulfield
08:05
That sometimes happens with like, big superstar releases. There is like a coordinated hourly play across a lot of radio stations that are owned by the same corporations. They're kind of like initial promo sweeps. And obviously this is one of those songs that got the hourly treatment.
Share
Katie Atkinson
08:23
Yeah, there's never been more of like a Sherpa. I mean, especially when she previewed the song and we heard the vibe of the song. It was like, oh, okay, this is, you know, clearly directly in her pocket. And we're going to just go out on a limb and say it's going to be,
Hello
, part 2 and just roll with it.Share
08:42
And I think while it obviously is not just like a redux of
Hello
, it has a lot of the same elements that made that one such a big smash hit, you know, 6 years ago. And it feels, I think it feels comfortable, you know, it's a comforting Adele
song because it sounds like Adele
, you know?Share
Keith Caulfield
09:03
Yeah, I mean she has said that much basically before. When she's talked about why she picked this song as the first single, because it sounds like
Adele
.Share
Katie Atkinson
09:15
Yup. I mean I think that's smart. I mean I think that there's probably a lot of artists who kind of know what their introductory lane needs to be when they put an album out, and she obviously knows that that's what people wanted. And that's what we got. And I mean she even had callbacks in the music video that came out alongside the song.
Share
09:34
There were little Easter eggs for fans from her other music videos because again, she's like, you know, at a point where she has a whole universe around her. She's referencing the
Adele
universe and when she comes out, you know? And you know, she also did a lot of interviews last week, Keith. Did you watch all of them? I think you might have.Share
Keith Caulfield
09:55
I watched three of them.
Share
Katie Atkinson
09:57
I mean that's a lot. I don't know how many there there were.
Share
Keith Caulfield
10:01
I don't know, I don't have like an Excel grid with all of the interviews.
Share
Katie Atkinson
10:06
I watched Hits, I watched
BBC
and I watched the Vogue
taste test that she put out today.Share
Keith Caulfield
10:14
What's the Hits one?
Share
Katie Atkinson
10:16
It was another
UK
Radio One
, it was about seven minutes long.Share
Keith Caulfield
10:20
Was that the one where they did the
Peppa Pig
thing?Share
Katie Atkinson
10:22
They like made a fake
Peppa Pig
song. Because in BBC
they had the actual voice of Peppa Pig
responding to Adele's
snub that she did not want to collab with Peppa
. So of course all the UK
stations went hard on the Peppa
news.Share
Keith Caulfield
10:38
On the big breaking
Peppa Pig
news.Share
Katie Atkinson
10:41
I mean to be fair, I have a four year old. So it was breaking news in my world, too. But I mean honestly I love her music, but I love having her personality back in my life maybe more than anything else. She's just such a delight. All of these interviews are just so delightful.
Share
Keith Caulfield
11:03
So I was watching the
BBC
Radio 1
interview with Greg James. If you follow me on social media, I excerpted some of it and put it on Twitter
and Instagram because she volunteered information that she wasn't specifically asked for. And it just came up in conversation where he asked.Share
11:18
So is November 19th is that date solid, set in stone? She's like oh yeah, it's been set in stone for 6 months because she said I'm printing, I'm pressing CD's and vinyl. And there is a 25 week lead time.
Share
11:32
Now that phrase is kind of above the heads of most casual fans of music. But the translation for that is she had to finish and turn in her album 25 weeks before release date to her record label basically. In order to make sure that she would have CD's and vinyl albums ready for street date to be available inside
Target,
at Amazon,
and Barnes & Noble
. All the brick and mortar retailers, all the indie stores.Share
11:58
Now, her lead time is not that crazy unusual. That's kind of going lead time now to have an album come out. That's how long you have to turn it in, in advance. But imagine for an artist like
Adele,
who has to have an incredible amount of security around your album to make sure nothing leaks, no track list. No whiff of who was on the album. What any of the photos look like.Share
12:21
All of that had to have been done six months ago. All the photos, all the art work. All the liner notes. All the everything, done, had to have been finished 6 months ago and they've been sitting under lock and key since then.
Share
Katie Atkinson
12:31
Until two weeks ago, we legitimately did not know that there was an album. There were all these little tidbits and rumors. We did an entire episode trying to piece together cookie crumbs. When there are obviously lots and lots and lots of people, who knew a lot about this album that have somehow managed to keep it the secret for months. That's wild.
Share
Keith Caulfield
12:59
She joked in that same
BBC
1 radio interview, she joked, she's like she said basically in those factories right now where they're making the album or where they finished making the album. She said it's looking like Squid Games
where there's people with guns like, you know, like surveying the landscape basically. Because she's like if this leaks, you know.Share
13:20
So yeah, like it's because you think nowadays like everything is very focused on streaming and digital, and you don't really think about physical releases and how long it takes to make something and manufacture something. Because I think people are so used to scenarios where
Kanye West
is tweaking his album until the very last minute before he decides to release it over the weekend.Share
Katie Atkinson
13:45
He's still tweaking it even though it's out.
Share
Keith Caulfield
13:48
Like yeah,
Kanye
could go back and tweak the album and reservice the master to digital services. Adele
isn't doing that.Share
13:57
Adele
is a kind of artist that will sell tons and tons of physical albums. And you know all those times that we've been talking about how Taylor Swift
is setting vinyl records. And you know, Olivia Rodrigo
, like hit's a zillion, you know vinyl sales. And Billie Eilish
. I think it's safe to assume that all those numbers might pale in comparison to what Adele
might sell with her vinyl album on November 19.Share
14:27
That's not a scientific quote. Please don't quote me. It's just me kind of guessing based upon her track record.
Share
Katie Atkinson
14:34
That's interesting. I think you know what you were saying about people not thinking so much about the physical product. They probably think a little more about it now given the issues that vinyl has had. And so an artist like
Taylor
has made it like really public, that you know, she puts an album out in December and they might not deliver vinyl until was it April?Share
Keith Caulfield
14:58
It's like 5 or 6 months later, yeah.
Share
Katie Atkinson
14:60
Yeah. And so like people are definitely thinking about it a little more. I think it'll be interesting to not have that like, I don't know, you almost get like a second wave of publicity out of the vinyl actually existing. You know what I mean? So I wonder how I wonder what those numbers will look like.
Share
15:20
We're not in the business, but we are. I was gonna say we're not in the business of comparing like artist numbers directly to each other and that's like the literal business that we are in. But I am interested in seeing that exact comparison, like what the
Taylor
that was sort of delayed vinyl release looks like versus Adele's
.Share
Keith Caulfield
15:40
And also you know we're framing this in a way to basically remind people that when
Adele's
last album came out, it did over 3 million in sales in its first week. That's digital album, CD albums, and vinyl albums all combined. So is she going to do another 3 million?Share
16:01
Oh for God's sakes! I mean I think that would be kind of crazy to just assume that she would, 25 was coming after 21 which is one of the biggest albums of all time. So you just think if you know with where we are with the public's fascination and love of vinyl. And with
Taylor Swift
able to do like 102,000 copies of vinyl in a week.Share
16:23
Well, why couldn't
Adele
do that big of a number, if not more, based upon her track record with physical albums? That's all.Share
Katie Atkinson
16:29
By the way, Keith, I have a record player now.
Share
Keith Caulfield
16:32
Hey, congratulations! Now we just need to get you some vinyl.
Share
Katie Atkinson
16:36
Right? Exactly. I have some that has been sent to me over the years, like some that's over my shoulder right now.
Share
Keith Caulfield
16:41
Maybe you can preorder
Adele's,
30
.Share
Katie Atkinson
16:44
There you go. Maybe that's what I need to add to my collection, my first purchase.
Share
Keith Caulfield
16:47
Yeah so anyways, that was one of the interviews she did. And all of the interviews that I saw, they were all for British radio. She was just delightful, warm, just you know everything you want
Adele
to be. Effortless. Just you want to go have a drink and dinner with her. She's just that kind of gal.Share
Katie Atkinson
17:06
It's incredible considering it's all you know via
Zoom.
You know she lives in Los Angeles
. I don't know, maybe she's in the UK
for all I know, but she's not doing these interviews in person. S it's also like the you know, just because she's Adele
doesn't mean that you know, Zoom
issues don't affect her.Share
17:26
Like there's a lot of weird lagging in the interviews and like awkward pauses and yet she still manages to have a charming interview.
Share
Keith Caulfield
17:34
She did say that she was going to go to the UK in a few weeks so...
Share
Katie Atkinson
17:38
Oh well, there you go.
Share
17:40
Well you know what else, what else was announced.
Share
17:45
Today, which is Monday was her
CBS
special that is coming out, which includes an Oprah
sit down interview and a performance.Share
Keith Caulfield
17:56
I didn't know about the
Oprah
thing. I've been busy.Share
Katie Atkinson
17:58
Yeah, I know. So like that's going to be shocking.
Share
18:05
See this is the thing, that's just the tip of the iceberg I feel like. What I really need, and we talked about this previously, but the absolute best moment of all time from the last press cycle was the-
Share
Keith Caulfield
18:18
Carpool Karaoke?
Share
Katie Atkinson
18:20
That was delightful but I was going to say where she dressed up like she was a drag queen version of herself.
Share
Keith Caulfield
18:26
Oh right. She was dressing up as well, it wasn't a drag queen. She was dressing up as an
Adele
impersonator.Share
Katie Atkinson
18:32
And there were some drag queen impersonators amongst them. That's correct.
Share
Keith Caulfield
18:35
There was one gentleman who was a drag performer.
Share
Katie Atkinson
18:38
There was only one?
Share
Keith Caulfield
18:39
There was only one. All of those other people were women, Katie, just normal women without any prosthetics.
Share
Katie Atkinson
18:45
If you have not seen that, you need to see it. But while I'm very pumped about seeing an
Oprah
sit down and a performance, I am really looking forward to sort of the oddball things like that. Which Vogue
sort of delivered with this British taste test. Did you watch the video?Share
Keith Caulfield
19:01
I did, yeah, it was
British Vogue's
, YouTube
channel, you can find it now. And it's like, it's almost like 10 minutes of her blind tasting British food?Share
Katie Atkinson
19:07
It must have taken an hour to film this because the amount of food they put in front of her is wild. I didn't know what some of those foods were. Like that checkered thing.
Share
Keith Caulfield
19:21
Which she didn't even know what it was.
Share
Katie Atkinson
19:23
Yeah.
Share
Keith Caulfield
19:24
I mean, she knew what it was. She just didn't know what the name was.
Share
Katie Atkinson
19:26
It was like a Barrington or something like that. I'm not, I'm gonna mess it up.
Share
Keith Caulfield
19:30
She called it a "dot cotton", dot something or other. She was referencing an actress on Coronation Street, I believe.
Share
Katie Atkinson
19:39
Oh my God.
Share
Keith Caulfield
19:40
I just want to see the outtakes from this? It's just that good.
Share
Katie Atkinson
19:44
Yes, a hundred percent. What are we missing out of all the many press appearances?
Share
Keith Caulfield
19:51
I mean, it feels like in the past, like 2 and a half weeks, every time that we've recorded something, 4 more things have happened in the interim. And we've gone from, you know, there's a snippet of a song and whispers of a song and what's going to happen. To 2
Vogue
covers, the announcement of an Oprah
interview, multiple video interviews, taste testing British food with a blindfold.Share
20:19
You know, the album announcement. You know, just all this stuff, the video, everything all within, like a 2 and a half week span. So, God, what's going to happen in the next two weeks?
Share
Katie Atkinson
20:30
Exactly. That's why we're probably going to just carve out no matter what, they'll be like a 5 minute space on this podcast in the coming weeks.
Share
Keith Caulfield
20:37
It's just the
Adele
podcast now for the next few weeks.Share
Katie Atkinson
20:39
Yeah, exactly. We're looking forward to what's next. I feel like I did have one other thing, and now I'm just completely blanking.
Share
20:48
Give me one moment, it'll come. She was asked directly about about whether she would like to tour around the new album.
Share
Keith Caulfield
20:55
Oh, I saw that about the
Vegas
residency. Someone asked about that.Share
Katie Atkinson
20:57
Yeah and they brought up the
Vegas
residency as well. Like, would you rather, you know, go full Celine
with the Vegas
residency, or do you want to tour?Share
21:04
And she talked about the fact that she thinks of, like, you know, basically, like half her talent being, you know, just like chatting on stage with her fans. Which she might be right. You know, her banter with her fans.
Share
21:19
And so I think it's funny that she knows that's what she misses about touring, is being able to just chat on stage. And she also, by the way, said that she'd like to do all of it.
Share
Keith Caulfield
21:32
She said something like, I'd love it all. She was very non specific, but generally open.
Share
Katie Atkinson
21:40
Yes and she made it clear that she was not in a rush to tour and deal with all the many
Covid
related touring issues right now. It sounded like she was cool to wait a beat on touring. Which kind of made it sound like yeah, Vegas
is probably pretty realistic.Share
Keith Caulfield
21:57
I'd go see her in Vegas.
Share
Katie Atkinson
21:59
Oh my God, wouldn't we all? Let's do it!
Share
Keith Caulfield
22:01
Wouldn't literally all of us want to go see her in
Vegas
? Have you seen Adele
in concert?Share
Katie Atkinson
22:07
No, no. I've never seen her.
Share
Keith Caulfield
22:08
Have you seen her perform? Have you seen her perform on the
Grammy's
at all? Were you in the press room when she performed?Share
Katie Atkinson
22:13
Yeah, not in the room. I was in the building, not in the room.
Share
Keith Caulfield
22:17
I had the great fortune one year of going to the
Grammy's
, the year that she performed Rolling In The Deep
at the show.Share
Katie Atkinson
22:26
You saw her whole concert? Didn't you see her at The Wiltern?
Share
Keith Caulfield
22:29
Yeah and then I saw her at The Wiltern as well. It was the year of like,
Hello,
would come out and you know. So, yeah, I was very fortunate that I got to see her at The Wiltern for like, that one off show that she did. I didn't see the last proper tour that.Share
Katie Atkinson
22:47
Same. I mean, I still have not seen her, so, I'll make up for that in
Vegas
. So, Keith and I are going to Vegas
, we just decided.Share
Keith Caulfield
22:54
Alright, well, now it's time for the chart stat of the week. So Katie doesn't have the center script.
Share
Katie Atkinson
22:60
No, I do not.
Share
Keith Caulfield
23:01
So playing off of something
Hot 100
Chart Manager, Gary Trust, wrote this week online. It's time to play quiz, Katie.Share
Katie Atkinson
23:07
Oh man, did I edit Gary's article that you're going to play off of. That's the question.
Share
Keith Caulfield
23:14
I don't know, we'll find out. Okay, so,
Industry Baby
has hit number 1 on the Hot 100
and the word "baby" is a frequent visitor to number 1 by way of, you know, a song's title, having the word "baby" in it, including one of Katie's favorite songs. Amy Grant's, Baby Baby
.Share
23:34
So, in fact, "baby" has been in the title of lots and lots of hits on the charts, not just number 1's. So I thought Katie it'd be fun to see if you could figure out of these four "baby" songs. Which was the actual number 1 on the
Hot 100
? So only 1 of these 4 went to number 1.Share
Katie Atkinson
24:02
I'm so ready.
Share
Keith Caulfield
24:04
All right.
Share
24:05
Player's, Baby Come Back.
Share
24:08
The Ronettes, Be My Baby
.Share
24:12
Donna Summer's, Love to Love You Baby
.Share
24:16
Or TLC's, "Baby Baby Baby".
Share
Katie Atkinson
24:21
I was hoping you'd throw
Justin Bieber

See I want to actually stump you. So why would I ever give you something obvious?
Share
Katie Atkinson
24:28
My guess is
The Ronettes
.Share
Keith Caulfield
24:32
Final answer?
Share
Katie Atkinson
24:33
Final answer.
Share
Keith Caulfield
24:36
Heaped to number 2 for 3 weeks in 1963. Would you like to try again of the remaining 3?
Share
Katie Atkinson
24:41
I'll try the first option.
Player's, Baby Come Back
.Share
Keith Caulfield
24:45
It was number 1 for 3 weeks in 1978.
Share
Katie Atkinson
24:48
Second pick obviously.
Share
Keith Caulfield
24:50
So
Player's, Baby Come Back
, was number 1 for 3 weeks in 1978. All of the other 3 songs peaked at number 2.Share
Katie Atkinson
24:56
So they were all close. I actually didn't know that TLC was that high. I loved that song but I didn't think it was that high.
Share
Keith Caulfield
25:03
Yeah.
Donna Summer's, Love to Love You Baby
was number 2 for 2 weeks in 1976. And Baby Baby Baby by TLC
was number 2 for 6 weeks.Share
Katie Atkinson
25:11
We have to say it like
Tionne
says it.Share
25:13
Baby, baby, baby.
Share
Keith Caulfield
25:16
She does not say it the way I said it like, baby, baby, baby. I don't know what that is.
Share
25:22
Alright, so there you have it a quiz, Katie. A little fun moment as we celebrate another new "baby" at number 1 on the
Hot 100
this week with Industry Baby
.Share

Ok, Katie, we've reached the end of our big show.
Share
Katie Atkinson
25:43
There was actually like a lot of baby news in pop music in the last week, too.
Share
Keith Caulfield
25:48
I was like, Katie, are you gonna have another baby?
Share
Katie Atkinson
25:51
No, I'm definitely not, all done there.
Eve
is having a baby or no, Eve
had a baby. Lance Bass
had 2 babies. Usher
had a baby, and Darren Criss
and his wife announced they're expecting a baby.Share
Keith Caulfield
26:08
Friend of the podcast, by the way. Hasn't
Lance Bass
been on the pod?Share
Katie Atkinson
26:14
Yeah, no, I interviewed him for the podcast. It was right before the
NSYNC
reunion. And I just messed that I up though I realized. Eve
and Darren
are both expecting babies. Usher
and Lance
had babies. There you go.Share
Keith Caulfield
26:28
Not together.
Share
Katie Atkinson
26:29
Actually it's funny. Our writer Huron did her like "winners of the week" article and when she submitted to me for edit, it was like,
"Usher
and Lance Bass
welcome babies". And I'm like, wait, wait, wait, we need to throw some words in there.Share
Keith Caulfield
26:46
Let's just dial that back, just a skosh.
Share
Katie Atkinson
26:48
We're not writing fanfic over here.
Share
Keith Caulfield
26:53
Okay, so I'm assuming we should go out on a "baby" related song. After all that baby talk.
Share
Katie Atkinson
27:01
Yeah, I feel like we've done this before, we definitely did
Baby, Baby
. When I told you, I think I was having a baby or when I left for maternity leave. One or the other.Share
Keith Caulfield
27:09
Yeah, we've played
Amy Grant
enough.Share
Katie Atkinson
27:11
We've done that.
Share
Keith Caulfield
27:14
So with that said, what "baby" song should we go out on?
Share
Katie Atkinson
27:18
Let's just do TLC "Baby, Baby, Baby".
Share
Keith Caulfield
27:20
Okay, great. See you guys next time.
Share
Katie Atkinson
27:22
Bye.
