On the new Billboard Pop Shop Podcast, Katie & Keith are talking about life after girl groups and how each singer is carving out her own solo lane after finding success in a group. We’re taking a look at Little Mix too — who are all in the midst of mounting their solo music careers and impacting the Official U.K. Charts — as well as the previous examples of Pussycat Dolls, Destiny’s Child and Spice Girls. What does it take to catch lightning in a bottle, like Beyoncé has? Or like Diana Ross’ post-Supremes career?
Listen to the new episode below:
Also on the show, we’ve got chart news on how Taylor Swift enters rare air, as her album The Tortured Poets Department spends a 10th week at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. Plus, how six different women are in the top 10 of the Billboard 200 — and why that’s unique in recent times. Also, Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” climbs to a new peak of No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart; could it go all the way to No. 1?
