00:00 Kanye, Beyonce and Taylor part two plus March music madness and a labor-inducing music video.
00:06 We break down the top songs on TikTok. Billboard ranks Bob Marley's best songs.
00:11 You have a chance to see Illenium at South by Southwest
00:14 and we sit down with the lead singer of Manna for the cover of Billboard.
00:19 Welcome back to Billboard News. I'm Tetris Kelly. It's Thursday, February 15th. There's
00:27 so much going on and we've only got so much time. So here's three of the top stories for today.
00:33 Now that Beyonce has a new track eyeing the number one spot and so does Ye,
00:41 Swifties were aiming to support Beyonce just to block the problematic rapper. He posted about Te.
00:48 She and Beyonce are big inspirations to all musicians. We always say how both sell out
00:53 tours and movies. Also, I'm sure I've been far more helpful to Taylor Swift's career than harmful.
00:59 To all Taylor Swift fans, I am not your enemy. Um, I'm not your friend either though. LOL. I say all
01:06 is fair in stand wars and I'm sure the best song will come out on top. Drake is used to topping
01:12 the charts and he's got the people talking with his new video for Rich Baby Daddy where sexy red
01:17 goes into labor. For real? For real? I don't know. SZA gets involved. I'm not trying to.
01:28 And we celebrate the birth of Sexy's Child.
01:46 I am so here for this video. Hip hop should always be this fun. And get ready to have so
01:51 much fun in March with new albums. Shakira just announced her new project is out on March 22nd.
01:58 And if you remember, Beyonce is out with Act 2 on March 29th. With Ariana Grande's Eternal Sunshine
02:04 out March 8th and Kacey Musgraves on March 15th. What a time to support the girlies. I'm just
02:10 happy they all have their own week to shine. I don't want any fights on the charts. Now let's
02:15 get to our latest Billboard Español cover star. Maná has been in the music game for over four
02:21 decades. And Leila Cobo headed south of the border to catch up with lead singer Faye.

05:40 We've got a new leader on the charts plus a pair of new faces breaking to the top ten.
05:44 Kat Janis' "Stayin' 2 Out of My Head" takes the top spot on the TikTok Billboard top 50
05:53 for the chart posting February 15th.
06:02 Fans have supported her song while she's in hospice after being diagnosed with cancer
06:06 using her final song which she's dedicated to her seven-year-old son
06:10 to bring awareness to her condition.
06:12 Elsewhere on the chart, Coldplay's 2000 hit "Yellow" debuted at number five.
06:28 Thanks to users sharing beautiful life moments to the track. And at number nine,
06:32 YG Marley's "Crazy Eye in the Moonlight" jumps to number nine
06:35 thanks in part to "One Love," the film about his grandfather Bob Marley hitting theaters.
06:40 Every Thursday, Billboard will bring you the verified list of the hottest songs on TikTok
06:51 by monitoring music discovery and engagement on the platform in the United States.
06:55 To find the TikTok Billboard top 50 each week, users can simply go to any sound detail page
07:00 and tap the top right button to access the charts page.
07:03 Before I let you go, "One Love" is in theaters and highlights the incredible life of Bob Marley.
07:09 Now you can only fit so much music into one movie,
07:13 so Billboard has done you a favor and ranked some of Bob's best bops.
07:16 With new movie "One Love" in theaters, everybody is listening to Bob Marley.
07:24 Billboard has listed the top 30 Bob Marley songs that aren't on his legend compilation.
07:29 And we're giving you three to check out.
07:31 In "Black Man Redemption," we get the introduction of the popular Jamaican phrase "Cool Runnings."
07:43 Nearly a decade before the Jamaican bobsled team made history at the Olympics
07:47 and were immortalized in the 1993 classic film.
07:51 "Cool Runnings" means "Peace be the journey."
07:54 "Peace be the journey."
07:57 "Cool running."
07:57 Crinch Town Rock has never wound up on any of Bob's studio albums,
08:02 existing largely through live versions, but contains one of his most popular quotes.
08:07 Some could say "So Much Things to Say" is one of Marley's most famous songs
08:17 not to be included on the legend album.
08:19 This song is without a doubt a top five waylist track,
08:22 when Bob could say so much through so little.
08:25 For the full list of Bob Marley's best songs, head to Billboard.com.
08:36 That's it for today. Make sure you come back tomorrow for your Friday Music Guide.
08:40 Plus we sit down with Prince Royce. You're not going to want to miss that one.
08:44 I'm Tetris Kelly and this is Billboard News.
