00:05 Billboard takes you inside K-Con LA.

00:17 Things are drying up here in LA
00:18 and we've got a brand new episode of Billboard News.
00:22 I'm Tetris Kelly, it's Monday, August 21st
00:24 and let's get things started with a Britney update.
00:27 Britney Spears hears you talking and she don't care.
00:30 Amidst divorce, Britney is living her life
00:33 and still releasing her book.
00:34 Britney is truly free and we like what we see.
00:37 Last week, news broke that Britney Spears
00:39 and Sam Asghari were headed for divorce,
00:42 citing irreconcilable differences.
00:44 Sam posted he wishes her the best
00:46 and Brit posted herself,
00:48 "Six years is a long time to be with someone,
00:50 "so I'm a little shocked, but I'm not here to explain why
00:53 "because it's honestly nobody's business."
00:56 (upbeat music)
00:58 Well, Britney, we want more and she gave us more.
01:06 Our queen was not happy after paparazzi photos of her
01:09 with a buzz ball leaked, so she had a night out, posting,
01:12 "When you go to meet up with a so-called friend,
01:15 "then you have to wait in the car
01:16 "and need to use the bathroom.
01:18 "I knew paps were tipped off.
01:20 "So what does a bitch like me do?
01:22 "I put my green dress on and show up at my friends.
01:25 "I invited my fave boys over and played all night."
01:28 Play with me, Britney.
01:30 And will her book change after the divorce news?
01:33 TMZ is reporting there won't be any changes made
01:35 to the memoir to reflect Britney's divorce
01:38 and the book will be released as is.
01:40 The Woman in Me is available October 24th.

04:12 and this is five things you might not know about me.
04:15 (upbeat music)
04:18 I just learned how to swim last year.
04:23 Still working on it, but I know how to swim now.
04:25 I was a basketball national champion
04:29 before I was a jazz musician,
04:31 before I became an artist in high school.
04:34 I love, love, love listening to the Spice Girls.
04:39 It's an amazing group.
04:43 I always put my albums out based upon people in my life
04:46 and markers in time.
04:48 For instance, like my last album
04:49 was my maternal grandmother's birthday.
04:51 The next album will be my grandfather's birthday.
04:55 My first instrument when I started playing music
04:59 before the piano, before even the drums, was the bongos.
05:04 And I had a set of bongos that you could put right here
05:10 in your lap and I would play those.
05:13 And I only knew one pattern.
05:15 And I played that same pattern for two years.
05:18 And those are five things you didn't know about me, I hope.
05:21 - It's that time of the week,
05:22 so let's talk about the charts.
05:24 We have a historic new leader on the Hot 100
05:27 that comes with some controversy
05:29 and a new debut that I can't get enough of.
05:31 Plus updates on the Billboard 200.
05:34 It's Monday, let's run down our charts.
05:37 ♪ Richmond, north of Richmond ♪
05:39 ♪ Lord knows they all just wanna have total control ♪
05:44 - We have a brand new number one song,
05:46 by the way, of "Richmond, North of Richmond"
05:48 by Oliver Anthony Music.
05:50 Not only is it his first number one,
05:52 it debuts in that spot.
05:54 It may seem like the song came out of nowhere,
05:56 but there were tons of conversation online
05:58 surrounding the song and its meaning.
06:00 Where some are saying it represents all Americans,
06:03 while others see it as a blatant call
06:05 to the north-south divide of the Confederacy
06:08 and the Civil War.
06:09 What?
06:10 I mean, what do you think?
06:11 ♪ It's a damn shame ♪
06:13 ♪ What the world's gotten to ♪
06:15 ♪ For people like me ♪

06:25 - Fuck it, it's fine.
06:26 We've all said it, right?
06:27 Olivia's new single, "Bad Idea, Right"
06:29 from upcoming album "Guts" debuts on the Hot 100
06:33 at number 10.
06:34 Over on the Billboard 200,
06:35 Travis Scott's "Utopia" notches a third straight week on top,
06:39 while Karol G's "Mañana Será Bonito"
06:42 "Bichota Session" debuts at number three.
06:45 Before I let you go, we played a little
06:46 "Never Have I Ever" with Pedro Capo.
06:49 Let's take a look.
06:50 - Hey, this is Pedro Capo,
06:52 and this is "Never Have I Ever."
06:55 (upbeat music)
06:58 Oh my God, of course I have.
07:01 I'm only with a human being.
07:02 (laughs)
07:04 No, I have not.
07:06 Have I clocked it?
07:07 Yes, but I've worked with it.
07:09 Roll up your sleeves and get to it.
07:11 There's a plumber in you too.
07:14 I have.
07:15 Specifically, I just moved,
07:16 and the one that I was in for the last three years,
07:19 in the beginning, had a lot of paranormal activity.
07:22 Things would move, lights would go on and off,
07:24 I would catch stuff from the corner of my eye.
07:27 The TV, I would take the remote batteries off
07:29 and just try to, why is this happening?
07:32 It would move, and it was almost like a Ouija board.
07:34 Like, it would say stuff through the titles.
07:37 Eventually, we came to peaceful resolutions.
07:40 They never bugged me anymore.
07:41 Every now and then, I'll have a light,
07:43 and not how I used to have,
07:45 that I called a yes and no light.
07:47 Sometimes I'd be thinking of something,
07:48 or I got a phone call or an offer,
07:50 and it would turn off, you know?
07:52 I wouldn't rule everything by it, but yeah.
07:55 Oof, I have.
07:57 That was 1918, the first time it happened.
08:01 We had some weed in the car, we got pulled over.
08:03 Somebody tried to hide it, it was a stupid move,
08:05 and we got caught.
08:06 So, no charges, because it was an illegal search.
08:11 Cut.
08:12 - That's today's show.
08:13 Make sure you come back tomorrow
08:14 for our interview with Erika Jayne,
08:16 and we learn five things about Killer Mike.
08:19 I'm Tetris Kelly, and this is Billboard News.
