Hey everybody and welcome to the
Billboard
Pop Shop Podcast. I'm Keith Caulfield, Senior Director of
Charts
at
Billboard
.
Share
Katie Atkinson
00:36
And I'm Katie Atkinson,
Billboard's
Executive Digital Director, West Coast.
Share
Keith Caulfield
00:40
And we have a special guest joining us this week. It's the other Senior Director of
Charts
, Gary Trust. Welcome Gary.
Share
Gary Trust
00:46
Thank you, I flew 3000 miles just to be here for this.
Share
Keith Caulfield
00:50
Yup, that is how special our special guests are.
Share
00:55

Today on the show, we've got
Chart
news on how
Harry Styles'
, "As It Was", hits a 14th non-consecutive week at number one on the
Billboard
Hot 100. How many songs have spent 14 weeks atop the
Chart
in history? Could
Styles
hold on longer at number one? Might he even beat the all time record for the most weeks at number one, set by
Lil Nas X's,
"Old Town Road", in 2019?
Share
01:41
Well, thankfully, we've got Gary here so we can ask him all of those questions. Plus, we've got
Chart
news on how
Bad Bunny's
, "Un Verano Sin Ti", clocks in 11th week at number one on the
Billboard
200, becoming the album with the most weeks atop the list since 2016. And how Nav,
Ozzy Osborne

Share
Katie Atkinson
02:04
Also on the show, a trailer for the upcoming
Whitney Houston
biopic, "I Wanna Dance With Somebody", came out last week. And we're going to talk all about our first impressions and of course about

Keith Caulfield
02:32
All right, let's do the
Chart
chat. First up on the
Billboard
200 albums
Chart
.
Share
02:36
Bad Bunny's,
"Un Verano Sin Ti", holds atop the
Chart
for an 11th non-consecutive week. That marks the most total weeks at number one in nearly six years, since Drake's views logged 13 non-consecutive weeks at number one in 2016 between May and October of that year. "Un Verano Sin Ti", earned 97,000 equivalent album units in the US in the week ending September 15th, according to Illuminate.
Share
03:03
Also in the Top 10 on the
Billboard
200 Nav's, "Demons Protected By Angels", debuts at number two.
Ozzy Osbourne's
, "Patient Number Nine", starts at number three.
Kane Brown's,
"Different Man", starts at number five. And
YoungBoy Never Broke Again's
, "Realer 2", jumps 71 to 6 after its first full charting week. Also
Yeat's
, "Life", debuts at number 10. It was a very busy Top 10.
Share
Katie Atkinson
03:27
I was going to say that is the busiest Top 10 I've ever heard you recap on the show.
Share
Keith Caulfield
03:31
We've had busier Top 10's. Back before we switched to consumption and equivalent album units. I think there were weeks where we had like seven debuts in the Top 10 debuts. Just wild.
Share
03:43
Let me recap. It's the fifth Top 10 for Nav. The ninth Top 10 for
Ozzy
, that makes sense. It's "Patient Number Nine" nine Top 10's. The second Top 10 for
Yeat
, and the 11th Top 10 for
YoungBoy Never Broke Again
.
Share
03:57
So, "Realer 2" actually came out initially to
YouTube
on September 6th, then it went wide.
Share
Katie Atkinson
04:07
I didn't know
YouTube
did album premieres.
Share
Keith Caulfield
04:09
Well, he loaded all the tracks to
YouTube
. So all the album's songs went up to
YouTube
on September 6th. Then the album went wide to all streamers in the middle of the day on September 7th. Thus its debut a week ago at number 71, on the
Billboard
200 dated September 17th, was prompted by really only two days of activity across all streamers. Because that was the week ending September 8th, plus three days of activity at
YouTube
. So the jump into the Top 10 this week is its first real full
Chart
week.
Share
04:47
Also, I mean it was available to purchase but it has sold a negligible number of copies. So that's why I'm talking about streaming, streaming, streaming for this album because
YoungBoy
is very streaming oriented. Last thing I'll say about this is that "Realer 2" is YoungBoys fourth new Top 10 in 2022. He's the only act with four new top tens or even three new top tens this year.
Share
05:10
He previously hit the Top 10 in 2022 with the "The Last Slimeto", which hit number two. "BETTER THAN YOU", a collaborative set with
DaBaby
which hit number 10. And "Colors", which hit number two in February.
Share
Katie Atkinson
05:21
The
YoungBoy
fans are hungry, apparently.
Share
Keith Caulfield
05:24
There's a lot of
YoungBoy
content there for everyone.
Share
05:29
Next up, moving over to the
Billboard
Hot 100 songs
Chart
, Harry Styles'
, "As It Was", at a 14th week at number one. It now ties for the fourth most weeks at number one in the
Charts
64 year history.
Share
Katie Atkinson
05:41
Hey Gary, how many songs have had at least 14 weeks at number one?
Share
Gary Trust
05:46
Yeah, so only 11. All Time.
Share
Katie Atkinson
05:50
Rare company. Elite company.
Share
Keith Caulfield
05:52
Just 11 now. And if
Harry
holds on for one more week, the single will be one of only four songs with 15 weeks or more number one, is that correct, Gary?
Share
Gary Trust
06:00
That is correct.
Share
Keith Caulfield
06:02
Okay so just to recap, the all time record holder for the most weeks at number one is
Lil Nas X's
, "Old Town Road" featuring
Billy Ray Cyrus
with 19 weeks. It's followed by
Luis Fonsi
and
Daddy Yankee's
, "Despacito", and
Mariah Carey
and
Boyz II Men's
, "One Sweet Day", both with 16 weeks at number one each. Strangely, no song has just 15 weeks at number one.
Share
Gary Trust
06:19
It never stopped at 15.
Share
Keith Caulfield
06:21
Right, but I mean like maybe
Harry
will stop at 15. So Gary, we have many questions about this. Why do we think that, "As It Was", has had such an incredible and lengthy run at number one? Because you've written about this before, where its span of weeks at number one has seemingly been like three years.
Share
06:44
Not really. But it's lingered around the top of the
Chart
for a very long time. So why is this song the one that seemed to really resonate so much in 2022?
Share
Gary Trust
06:53
So, it's still number one on radio. So as long as it's been out, it's still the biggest hit song on radio right now. So there's that. It's also Top 10, still in the streaming and that's that's kind of the magic combination on the Hot 100. If you can be a huge radio hit and still be big in streams or be big in streams and have your radio airplay time up to when you're still that big.
Share
07:13
That's how you get to be big on the
Chart
and to stay on the
Chart
at those high numbers. So yeah, as much as it might feel like, wow, we're going way back for the song. You know April, May, we were talking about the song still number one, still the biggest song on radio, still one of the 10 most streamed songs.
Share
Keith Caulfield
07:31
It's funny like when this song came out to me it sounded like, oh this sounds like a hit record. Like it just did. I never anticipated that it would be suddenly in such rare company. Like and that's no shade. It's just I never thought.
Share
Katie Atkinson
07:46
Well and we talked about when it came out to that, like,
Harry
historically for his previous two albums had pretty soft lead singles and then had songs that did better after. And so "As It Was", when we were talking about it before it came out, it's like, oh this might be the kind of eccentric
Harry
first, you know, lead single. "Sign of the Times", "The Light", I think was the other one.
Share
08:10
And it's like all of a sudden it's no, it's the biggest smash. It's the "Watermelon Sugar" of, you know, this album. And so I think that having that sustained, it's like it came out before
"Harry's
House" did. You had Coachella then? It's like the song of the summer because it just never went away and now it's still, you know, surviving.
Share
Keith Caulfield
08:28
Gary, is there something? I mean, I think you've written about this a lot and how radio seems to be a teensy bit sort of slower in how they sort of churned through hits. I mean, radio has been sort of notoriously slow in many ways where usually they're late to singles.
Share
08:43
But it feels like radio... the climate is so different now. Do you feel like radio is in a space now where songs that are going to be hits at radio, are going to be lingering at radio for like a year? Have you noticed that too? Like it's not just
Harry Styles
. Lots of songs are hanging on longer at radio.
Share
Gary Trust
09:01
Yeah, yeah. We see on the "Blinding Lights" and "Save Your Tears" as well. Like "Heat Waves."
Share
Keith Caulfield
09:04
Levitating, famously.
Share
Gary Trust
09:07
Yeah, I think part of it is over the pandemic. Radio needed to be just playing the hits because people weren't commuting, and a lot of radio listening is in people's cars. So I think a lot of radio thinking was, let's just be playing the hits no matter how old they are. They're clearly hits. Why play something untested? Because we need to get people listening if they're in their car only for 15 minutes instead of an hour commuting.
Share
09:31
So, radio has been pretty solid with playing the hits and that's benefited some of these songs. And if you look at the songs that have spent the most time at number one on the Hot 100, "Old Town Road" was 2019, "Despacito" was 2017. So bigger picture, it may be something we're going to see going forward. Everything is lasting longer.
Share
09:51
Once you have streaming in the mix as well, if a song is a big streaming hit and a big radio hit, it can just stay on the
Chart
forever. So, we might be seeing more of this. We might be having this conversation again about other songs going forward as well.
Share
Keith Caulfield
10:05
Is this also saying something about how maybe there's been a lack? I mean has there been a lack of sort of shake ups and excitement at the top of the
Chart
? Because I mean we just had a number one for
Nicki Minaj
with "Super Freaky Girl" there, Lizzo went to number one. So it's not like there hasn't other songs that have hit number one.
Share
Gary Trust
10:22
And in Encanto, "We Don't Talk About Bruno", that came and went. It was more like a comet.
Share
Keith Caulfield
10:27
How long was that number?
Share
Gary Trust
10:28
That was number one for five weeks. So you still see different kinds of
Chart
runs. But you see stuff like "Heat Waves" and "As It Was" that are very sustained.
Share
Katie Atkinson
10:40
I feel like all the ones that you named including "Blinding Lights", "Levitating", "Heat Waves", all that. Those are the songs I'm going to hear on my mom radio taking my kids to school or Adult Pop or AC. Because they're going to be played easily alongside, you know,
Eurythmics
, "Sweet Dreams" or whatever '80s song they're gonna play too. "As It Was" like immediately fit in with that crowd too, and they keep those songs around for a long time.
Share
11:08
So yeah, it's moms. Moms are powering this. Moms also love
Harry Styles
.
Share
Keith Caulfield
11:16
Gary, you won't have an answer. But I'm gonna ask anyways. Do you think this song has a chance of matching or beating the "Old Town Road" weeks at number one record with 19?
Share
Gary Trust
11:31
Yeah, I think it has a good chance to, but it's hard to tell even next week because we know anything can be released at any moment. We know
Taylor Swift
has a new album coming out.
Share
11:41
If she has a hit single, you would think that first week for a
Taylor
single is gonna be huge.
Share
Keith Caulfield
11:46
Based on her recent track record, with regularly hitting number one in the first week with new singles.
Share
Gary Trust
11:51
But maybe that's just kind of a one week hit and it goes back a little bit. Or it's a song like "As It Was", where it immediately clicks at radio and gets that longevity. So there could be something like that. We've seen a lot of remixes,
Nicki Minaj
this week goes back up 7 to 3 after the queen mix came out of "Super Freaky Girl".
Share
12:08
So, you never quite know, even as we're taping this, something might have just been released, that we haven't checked our email yet. But other than that, beyond that, its airplay is still so strong. That's going to be steady. Hit songs, airplay is very steady, so that's not really going anywhere. Even if it diminishes, it'll be slightly. Week to week streams are still pretty strong at this point. So I think it has a pretty safe bet that it could hit it.
Share
Keith Caulfield
12:34
Meanwhile, Steve Lacy "Bad Habit", at number two is just patiently waiting.
Share
Katie Atkinson
12:40
Oh, I would love if I could sneak in for even just a week at number one. It's such a cool, weird song to be so high on the
Chart
anyway. I'm the only person in this room allowed to root for that. So, here I am.
Share
Keith Caulfield
12:54
Gary and I root for everyone equally.
Share
Katie Atkinson
12:56
I know you're Switzerland.
Share
Keith Caulfield
12:57
We love everyone at number one or number two, or in fact, any of the numbers on the
Charts
.
Share
Katie Atkinson
13:01
As long as you're on our
Chart
, we're proud of you.
Share
Keith Caulfield
13:06
I think we can move on, Katie.
Share
Katie Atkinson
13:08
Okay. In very Pop Shop News, the first trailer for "I Wanna Dance With Somebody", which is a biopic examining the career and life of pop superstar,
Whitney Houston
, arrived on Thursday and gave viewers the very first look at British actress
Naomi Ackie's
impassioned portrayal of the icon.
Share
13:27
And along with
Ackie
, as I mentioned at the top of the show, "I Wanna Dance With Somebody", also stars
Stanley Tucci
as legendary record producer,
Clive Davis,
who famously discovered
Houston
while she was performing in a
New York City
nightclub and signed to his label
Arista Records
.
Share
13:42
So the first thing I'd like to talk about is, in the scene that the trailer shows the moment of
Clive Davis'
discovery, Ackie is performing the opening lines of the late vocalist's, 1985 hit, "How Will I Know?" on stage.
Share
13:58
Keith, do you know whether she was actually performing, "How Will I Know?"
Share
Keith Caulfield
14:06
When I watched it I was just like this is incorrect.
Share
Katie Atkinson
14:11
Historically inaccurate.
Share
Keith Caulfield
14:13
Like as I understand it,
Clive
went to see
Whitney
perform most likely in 1983, "How Will I Know" was written, I believe in 1984 and it was the third single from
Whitney's
album in 1985.
Share
14:29
So what I'm thinking is either the trailer somehow pasted together segments of the audio of the song, "How Will I Know", to sync up with moments where the actress playing
Whitney
moved her lips to make it look like she was singing.
Share
Katie Atkinson
14:50
I think in that scene in the movie that she won't actually be performing, "How Will I Know".
Share
Keith Caulfield
14:56
What I'm hoping is that they actually keep it truthful, and that she was just singing some whatever song she was singing that night.
Share
Katie Atkinson
15:02
But his eye is on the sparrow.
Share
Keith Caulfield
15:04
Was that it?
Share
Katie Atkinson
15:05
I don't know, I'm just making up a gospel song.
Share
Keith Caulfield
15:08
And then maybe just for the trailers purposes, they wanted to use a very familiar song that people would know.
Share
Katie Atkinson
15:14
Well, and also there's a famous recording of just the vocal of "How Will I Know". Which just shows how insane
Whitney's
instrument is. So, I'm sure they just wanted that to be the moment that popped.
Share
Keith Caulfield
15:26
Or they could also be playing very fast and loose.
Share
Katie Atkinson
15:28
Yeah, I mean, biopics often, change things to make, you know, you're talking about a two hour movie, you know, encapsulating the life of
Whitney Houston
.
Share
Keith Caulfield
15:38
It's not gonna happen.
Share
Katie Atkinson
15:40
You're gonna have to tighten some things up. You don't think "How Will I Know" is performed in that nightclub is what you're saying.
Share
Keith Caulfield
15:44
No, no, no. Considering that the song was apparently like If We Believe Wicky was apparently written with
Janet Jackson
in mind.
Share
Katie Atkinson
15:52
Oh, really? Oh, interesting. Okay, what do we think of
Stanley Tucci
as
Clive Davis
? They, I mean we're talking there's some prosthetics involved, some famous jowls.
Share
Keith Caulfield
16:02
I cannot wait to here,
Stanley Tucci
talk as if he was
Clive
.
Share
Katie Atkinson
16:09
He talks in the trailer.
Share
Keith Caulfield
16:10
What did he say?
Share
16:11
At the very end, he's like, "I just heard the voice of a lifetime" or something like that.
Share
16:16
Clive
famously, was just like, "when I discovered
Whitney Houston
back in 1982, it was right after I had found
Bruce Springsteen
and
Joni Mitchell
and
Carlos Santana"
.
Share
16:27
Did they even audition Keith for this part, Gary? I mean like listen to this.
Share
Gary Trust
16:31
I should have brought my
Stanley Tucci
impression, didn't know that was gonna be required.
Share
Katie Atkinson
16:35
Guard your loins,
Whitney Houston
is in the room.
Share
16:38
All right, so I'll share when I saw the trailer,
Naomi Ackie
as
Whitney
listen, we're going to need to see the whole movie to know how she actually does, but I was a little put off by she doesn't look like
Whitney
. She's got big, beautiful eyes, completely different from
Whitney Houston
.
Share
Keith Caulfield
16:54
Very beautiful woman. She kind of actually reminded me a little bit of like
Brandy
or something. Which you know
Brandy
and
Whitney
did work together.
Share
Katie Atkinson
17:04
But they are not the same person. We can confirm on this podcast.
Share
Keith Caulfield
17:09
Whereas when you saw a movie, like
"Bohemian Rhapsody"
, you're blown away by the uncanny similarities between, you know, the teeth prosthetics and the facial, you know, the hair.
Share
Katie Atkinson
17:20
And then in the same, like a year later,
"Rocketman"
, he didn't look like
Elton John
and that was a great movie.
Share
Keith Caulfield
17:27
So yeah, you have to set something like, it doesn't have to be an uncanny similarity visually to the artist. And
Whitney
is like basically a supermodel. It's hard to pull that off.
Share
Katie Atkinson
17:38
They're clearly using
Whitney's
vocals for this too. Because they did kind of a combo in
"Bohemian Rhapsody"
of a little bit was in there of my man, what's his name?
Rami Malek
.
Rami Malek's
voice. They did like a blend.
Share
Keith Caulfield
17:53
Same thing with
Taron Egerton
, he's sang through
Rocketman.
Share
Katie Atkinson
17:59
So yeah listen, Naomi, I'm sure she might have a lovely voice, but no one's voice is
Whitney Houston's
.
Share
Keith Caulfield
18:05
Maybe she does sing in the movie and they just put in
Whitney's
vocals in the trailer.
Share
Katie Atkinson
18:08
So we mentioned "
Bohemian Rhapsody
", "I Wanna Dance With Somebody" is written by the same
writer, Anthony McCarten
. There's been like some pretty impressive high profile musician, biopics lately, including Elvis this summer. Do we think that this is gonna, you know, is it going to be both a successful representation of
Whitney
and also like a hit at the box office? Like some of these all three of the examples we said we're all hits and well received.
Share
Keith Caulfield
18:38
I think when you look at "
Bohemian Rhapsody
", "Elvis" and
"Rocketman"
, there was sort of narrative, sort of like challenges in the story that intrigued viewers.
Share
18:54
So, you know, Elvis had, you know, it's like, what I guess what I'm saying is like if this
Whitney Houston
film is going to address sort of like the challenges in her life that maybe we didn't know about.
Share
Katie Atkinson
19:07
Which the trailer did not hint at at all.
Share
Keith Caulfield
19:09
It just looked like a very sort of high gloss like montage of music video moments.
Share
Katie Atkinson
19:13
Oh, I didn't mention
Clive
as a producer on this movie too. So, like, it could be, you know, it could shave off some edges from
Whitney's
life story.
Share
Keith Caulfield
19:20
Right. I mean, though, in the trailer you do see a glimpse of her walking down the aisle presumably with
Bobby Brown
.
Share
Katie Atkinson
19:26
Who's playing
Bobby Brown
, is he in the trailer? I didn't notice.
Share
Keith Caulfield
19:28
And you see moments of her there's distinctly a moment where she's in the video for, "It's Not Right, But It's Okay".
Share
19:34
So it gets up at least to 1999. So where does the movie end? It discovers her in 83 and then it ends with "My Love is Your Love" or something.
Share
Katie Atkinson
19:43
You don't think it's going to end with her passing.
Share
Keith Caulfield
19:45
No.
Share
Katie Atkinson
19:46
Really?
Share
Keith Caulfield
19:47
No,
Bohemian Rhapsody
didn't.
Bohemian Rhapsody
ended with Live Aid.
Share
Katie Atkinson
19:50
That's right.
Share
Keith Caulfield
19:50
Six years before
Freddie Mercury
died.
Share
Katie Atkinson
19:51
It's like yay and then nothing else happened. Nothing to see here.
Share
Keith Caulfield
19:55
It's like, you know, she celebrated her come back in 1999 and that's the end of the movie.
Share
Katie Atkinson
20:01
Yeah, wasn't that great. Oh goodness, okay.
Share
20:04
The movie is slated to arrive in theaters December 21st, which actually is its own hint that they think it's pretty good because that's
Oscar
timing.
Share
Keith Caulfield
20:12
I'm curious to hear if there's any new music that has been written specifically for the film that might be
Oscar
bait for Best Original Song.
Share
Katie Atkinson
20:21
Performed by whom?
Share
Keith Caulfield
20:24
I don't know, Jennifer Hudson? Maybe perhaps one of
Whitney's
, people that someone that looked up to
Whitney
as an inspiration that came later in life.
Share
Katie Atkinson
20:36
Because unfortunately like, unlike her hit with
Kygo
"Higher Love" where they like resurfaced these vocals of her doing the Steve Winwood song. That wouldn't count toward the Best Original Song
Oscars.
Share
Keith Caulfield
20:46
It has to be written specifically for this film.
Share
Katie Atkinson
20:48
Would inherently be already recorded.
Share
Keith Caulfield
20:52
So this would have to be a wholly new recording written specifically for the film. So, I mean, it could be anyone.
Share
Katie Atkinson
20:58
Would have to be like somebody else performing it, which, you know, I just want to hear more
Whitney
, you know.
Share
Keith Caulfield
21:03
I mean, I'm sure, look, I'm sure there's a way where someone else will record it.
Share
Katie Atkinson
21:07
Maybe
Stanley Tucci
or as
Clive
.
Share
Keith Caulfield
21:10
I mean, and then and maybe there are some like leftover vocals from
Whitney
that she could be sort of pasted in as like background vocals.
Share
Katie Atkinson
21:19
Kind of like move the dialogue is put into.
Share
Keith Caulfield
21:23
Anything is possible.
Share
Katie Atkinson
21:24
Backgrounds by
Whitney
.

Okay, alright, moving on. We will talk about this movie more just FYI. Like Keith and I will be talking about it a lot, so we'll be sharing that with you.

Well now it's time for the
Chart
stat of the week. Let's stay with
Whitney Houston
. And let's make this a quiz, Katie.
Share
21:39
Is it a quiz, Katie and Gary?
Share
21:41
No, because he'll know answer.
Share
Katie Atkinson
21:42
Can I call on Gary as a lifeline once in a while, if needed?
Share
Keith Caulfield
21:47
This is simple. Katie, which of the following singles did not hit number one on the
Billboard
Hot 100 for Whitney Houston? "
Share
21:54
So we have, "Saving All My Love For You", "So Emotional", "I'm Every Woman", and "Exhale (Shoop, Shoop)".
Share
Katie Atkinson
22:03
Okay, so I have a guest that is based on knowledge.
Share
22:07
My guess is, "I'm Every Woman" just because I'm assuming that "I Will Always Love You" might have blocked it because it's also from "The
Bodyguard"
soundtrack. That's my logic.
Share
Keith Caulfield
22:19
Gary, what is the correct answer?
Share
Gary Trust
22:20
I'm upset. I'm not needed here at all. Katie nailed that.
Share
Keith Caulfield
22:24
That is correct.
Share
Katie Atkinson
22:25
I'm so happy.
Share
Keith Caulfield
22:26
"I'm Every Woman" reached number four in 1993. It was the second single from "The
Bodyguard
" soundtrack following "I Will Always Love You", which spent 14 weeks at number one. Just like
Harry
Styles', "As It Was".
Share
Katie Atkinson
22:35
14 weeks? You don't say, look at that.
Share
Keith Caulfield
22:38
In total
Whitney
has had 11 number ones on the Hot 100. And her final number one was Exhale in 1995.
Share
Katie Atkinson
22:47
Was "I Will Always Love You" a consecutive 14 weeks at number one?
Share
Keith Caulfield
22:51
I think so, yeah.
Share
22:54
All right, well there we have it. A little quiz, Katie, about
Whitney Houston
and her number ones on the Hot 100
Chart
.
Share
23:00
All right, we've reached the end of our big shoe. Thank you, Gary. For being here.
Share
Gary Trust
23:06
Gonna go work on my
Clive Davis
and
Stanley Tucci
impressions for next time.
Share
Katie Atkinson
23:10
He'll be back next week with his new
Clive Davis
impression.
Share
Keith Caulfield
23:14
Any parting words, Katie?
Share
Katie Atkinson
23:16
Nope.
Share
Keith Caulfield
23:17
Okay. What song should we go out on?
Share
Speaker 5
23:19
What should we go out and we talked about a lot. How about one of the other number ones? That's been 14 weeks or more that we haven't heard. Well, what do you think Gary?
Share
Keith Caulfield
23:28
Yeah. Gary. Why don't you pick?
Share
Gary Trust
23:29
Oh, I get to pick?
Share
Keith Caulfield
23:31
Has to be one of those other ones that I've had.
Share
Katie Atkinson
23:33
Since we always struggle to choose. So why not force you to choose today?
Share
Gary Trust
23:37
Pretty sure I know Keith always likes
Madonna
. I'm a big
Mariah
fan. We're gonna go with "We Belong Together".
Share
Keith Caulfield
23:42
Madonna's
never had something for 14 weeks at number one. So, I guess we're going with
Mariah
.
Share
Katie Atkinson
23:45
I love "We Belong Together".
Share
Keith Caulfield
23:46
"We Belong Together", it is. And we'll see you guys next time. Bye!
