Morgan Wallen’s I’m the Problem nets a 10th nonconsecutive week atop the Billboard 200 chart (dated Aug. 16). The set earned 136,000 equivalent album units in the United States in the week ending Aug. 7 (down 5%), according to Luminate. I’m the Problem debuted at No. 1 on the May 31-dated chart, spent it first eight weeks in the pole position, stepped away from the top for two frames, and then returned to No. 1 for the last two consecutive weeks.

Also in the top 10 of the latest Billboard 200, Reneé Rapp and $uicideBoy$ score their highest-charting albums ever, while Yeat collects his sixth top 10-charted set.

The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption as measured in equivalent album units, compiled by Luminate. Units comprise album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). Each unit equals one album sale, or 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 3,750 ad-supported or 1,250 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album. The new Aug. 16, 2025-dated chart will be posted in full on Billboard‘s website on Aug. 12. For all chart news, follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both X, formerly known as Twitter, and Instagram.

Of I’m the Problem’s 136,000 equivalent album units earned in the week ending Aug. 7, SEA units comprise 131,000 (up 2%, equaling 172.27 million on-demand official streams of the set’s songs — it leads Top Streaming Albums for an 11th nonconsecutive week), album sales comprise 4,000 (down 5% — it rises 16-13 on Top Album Sales) and TEA units comprise 1,000 (down 26%).

Cumulatively, Wallen’s three No. 1 albums (I’m the Problem, One Thing at a Time and Dangerous: The Double Album) have spent a total of 39 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. That ties him with Elton John for the fourth-most weeks at No. 1 among male artists in the chart’s history, which dates to March 1956, when the chart began publishing on a regular weekly basis. Among male artists, the leaders are: Elvis Presley (67 weeks), Garth Brooks (52), Michael Jackson (51), John and Wallen (39 each), Harry Belafonte and Drake (37 each). Among all artists, The Beatles have the most weeks at No. 1, with 132 across 19 No. 1 albums.

I’m the Problem has now spent 10 weeks at No. 1, One Thing at a Time ruled for 19 nonconsecutive weeks in 2023-34 and Dangerous: The Double Album was tops for 10 straight weeks in 2021.

In total, only six acts, including Wallen, have at least three albums that have spent at least 10 weeks at No. 1. He joins The Beatles and Elvis Presley (four such albums each); Whitney Houston, The Kingston Trio, Taylor Swift and Wallen (three each). Additionally, Wallen is the only act to spend at least 10 weeks at No. 1 with three consecutive full-length albums.

The KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack holds at No. 2 on the Billboard 200, with 100,000 equivalent album units earned (its best week yet by units earned — up 7%). The set has posted a gain every week since its debut on the list seven weeks ago.

Reneé Rapp achieves her highest-charted album yet (and first top 10) as BITE ME bows at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 with 64,000 equivalent album units earned — the singer-songwriter-actress’ biggest week by units. Of that sum, album sales comprise 47,000 (her best sales frame ever, it debuts at No. 1 on Top Album Sales), SEA units comprise 17,000 (equaling 21.85 million on-demand official streams of the set’s songs, it debuts at No. 34 on Top Streaming Albums) and TEA units comprise a negligible sum.

Rapp previously placed one entry on the Billboard 200, Snow Angel, which debuted and peaked at No. 44 in 2023.

BITE ME’s first-week sales were bolstered by its availability across 11 vinyl variants (including signed editions) and five CD variants (including signed editions).

$uicideBoy$ earn their highest-charted album as THY KINGDOM COME debuts at No. 4 on the Billboard 200 with 57,000 equivalent album units earned. It’s the fifth top 10 set for the hip-hop duo, who had previously gone as high as No. 5 with their last charted project, 2024’s New World Depression. Of THY KINGDOM COME’s first-week units, SEA units comprise 34,000 (equaling 45.48 million on-demand official streams of the set’s songs — it debuts at No. 6 on Top Streaming Albums), album sales comprise 23,000 (it debuts at No. 2 on Top Album Sales, boosted by its availability across six vinyl variants) and TEA units comprise a negligible sum.

Justin Bieber’s SWAG is a non-mover on the Billboard 200 at No. 5 (44,000 equivalent album units earned, down 16%), Alex Warren’s You’ll Be Alright, Kid climbs 8-6 (nearly 44,000, down 8%), Wallen’s chart-topping One Thing at a Time rises 11-7 (39,000, up 1%) and SZA’s former No. 1 SOS is up 12-8 (36,000, down 5%).

Yeat collects his sixth top 10-charted effort as DANGEROUS SUMMER starts at No. 9 with 34,000 equivalent album units earned. Of that sum, SEA units comprise 18,000 (equaling 25.83 million on-demand official streams of its songs — it debuts at No. 29 on Top Streaming Albums), album sales comprise 16,000 (boosted by its availability across three CD variants, all signed, exclusive to his webstore, it debuts at No. 3 on Top Album Sales) and TEA units comprise a negligible sum.

Sabrina Carpenter’s chart-topping Short n’ Sweet rounds out the latest top 10, as it climbs 16-10 with 30,000 equivalent album units earned (up 5%).

Zach Bryan is bidding farewell to Kansas City ahead of this year’s NFL season.

On Friday (Aug. 8), the 29-year-old country star vowed never to perform again in the Midwestern city — home to the Kansas City Chiefs — following an online feud with the team’s fans.

“Where are all the three-peat people from last year?” Bryan, a longtime Philadelphia Eagles fan, wrote on X, referencing the Chiefs’ failed attempt at three consecutive Super Bowl victories after their loss to the Eagles in 2025.

Chiefs fans didn’t take kindly to the jab, flooding the post’s comments with angry replies. “3 Super Bowl wins 5 seasons. Eagles have won 2 in their 70 year history. Sit down Eagles fan from Oklahoma,” one person wrote. Another added, “Just another abusive Eagles fan, nothing to see here.”

The “I Remember Everything” singer then issued a warning to KC fans. “Please understand I will never play in Kansas City,” he wrote. “I’ll be about to finish my show and then get a taunting call if I play at that stadium.”

Bryan was referring to Arrowhead Stadium, the Chiefs’ home turf and a frequent stop for Taylor Swift, who has often attended games to support her boyfriend, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.

At one point during the fiery back-and-forth, a Chiefs fan urged Bryan to remove “Fifth of May (Live from Kansas City)” from his digital-only 24 Live album, which dropped in December 2024. “Done, brother,” Bryan replied. As of Sunday morning, the live track remained available on streaming services.

“Bro all u have to do to piss off a chiefs fan is play a fair game of football,” Bryan continued. “Guys it’s okay to talk trash to each other about football yall are weird as hell.”

But fans in Kansas City who may miss out on Bryan still have hope of seeing him nearby. “I miss you Bonner Springs coming to play next year,” the singer wrote on X Sunday (Aug. 10) morning, referring to the neighboring city just outside Kansas City.

Kourtney Kardashian is speaking out after facing backlash over a photo of her 21-month-old son, Rocky Thirteen, seen on a boat without a life jacket.

On Friday (Aug. 8), the 46-year-old reality star — who shares Rocky with her husband, Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker — posted a series of Instagram snapshots, one of which showed her young son on a boat without a life vest, sparking criticism online.

Other photos in the post suggested the family was vacationing in Idaho, where state law requires children 14 and under to wear a life jacket while on a boat.

“Great photo except for the fact the child has no life jacket on,” one user commented. Another urged, “Please, please put a life jacket on that sweet babe!” A third wrote, “You gotta make sure the kids are wearing life vests at all times! Just like you wouldn’t drive them around without a seatbelt/car seat. Water is so unpredictable and can be devastatingly dangerous.”

In response to the criticism, Kardashian addressed the controversy the next day through her Instagram Story.

“Update: bought a life vest that fits!” she wrote over a photo of an infant-sized life jacket. “Good looking out. Honestly didn’t think about some of the dangers. Thank you for making me aware and hopefully this helps make other mommies aware of the dangers of certain types of boating without a life vest.”

The original image showed Kardashian seated at the back of a boat while holding Rocky, whom she welcomed in November 2023 with Barker. The Lemme founder is also mom to three children with ex-partner Scott Disick: sons Mason, 15, and Reign, 10, as well as daughter Penelope, 13.

Other snapshots from Kardashian’s Instagram post included a mirror selfie of herself in a bodysuit, scenic views of the lake, and a variety of meals enjoyed during the trip. “Food for the soul,” she captioned the post.

Selena Gomez is looking back on her music catalog with fondness.

Before launching her solo career, the 33-year-old singer and actress fronted the pop-rock band Selena Gomez & the Scene, releasing three studio albums between 2009 and 2012. Now, she’s reflecting on a standout track from those early days.

In an interview on the Therapuss podcast, released Wednesday (Aug. 6), Gomez told host Jake Shane that her favorite song from her time with the band is “Who Says,” the lead single from their final album, When the Sun Goes Down. The track peaked at No. 21 on the Billboard Hot 100 in July 2011.

“It’s the most powerful moment when I get to perform it,” the Only Murders in the Building actress said. “That’s honestly the only reason I would ever do a tour again … is if I could perform ‘Who Says.’”

Gomez, who hasn’t toured since 2016, said she’d need to “take it down an octave from each year I’ve sang it” if she were to perform it today. She’s also open to re-recording the track, noting that her voice on the original sounds “young.”

“I need to redo it,” she said. “I should recut it.”

The Emilia Pérez star also opened up about the song’s empowering message and revealed that she once teared up while hearing it on the radio during a trip abroad.

“I was like, ‘Why the f—k am I tearing up to my own song?’” she said. “But it was because it was the little me who was there saying these really powerful messages that I still need to hear.”

Elsewhere in the interview, the Rare Beauty founder reminisced about how she first bonded with longtime friend Taylor Swift nearly two decades ago — after both experienced breakups with the Jonas Brothers.

“She and I like to say the best thing we got out of those relationships was each other,” Gomez told Shane. “We became best friends, bonded over the breakup, as girls do. Then we just stuck around for all the ups and downs that came after, and here we are now 16 years later.”

Most recently, the Wizards of Waverly Place alum dropped a joint album with fiancé Benny Blanco, I Said I Love You First, which debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 albums chart in May.

Justin Bieber is soaking up some quality time with his 11-month-old son, Jack Blues.

On Saturday (Aug. 9), the 31-year-old pop superstar shared a series of heartwarming selfies on social media, showing sweet moments with Jack Blues, who will celebrate his first birthday on Aug. 22.

In the Instagram carousel, Bieber posted three photos featuring the father-son duo, with Jack’s face intentionally kept out of view. In the first snapshot, the “Dadz Love” singer gazes into the camera while his son’s tiny feet peek into the frame. The next two images capture tender moments, with Bieber lovingly kissing the back of his Jack Blues’ head.

Last month, Bieber — who shares Jack Blues with his wife, Hailey Bieber — also gave fans a peek at their little one during a visit to the recording studio, where he was likely working on his latest album, Swag. The project dropped on July 11 and debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200.

Jack Blues and Hailey also appear in the music video for Justin’s new song “Yukon,” released on Aug. 5. The black-and-white visual, directed by Cole Bennett, shows the Bieber family basking in the sun aboard a sleek yacht resembling the logo of Justin’s new apparel brand Skylrk. The video captures tender moments as the couple cuddles their son and kisses his tiny toes while creating an adorable family portrait.

“We shot this a couple weeks back over the course of a few days in Spain & Italy. Shot on FX3 & GoPro, printed on 16mm film. I’ll remember these memories for the rest of my life. Thank you for everything,” Bennett wrote on Instagram, tagging both Justin and Hailey.

“Yukon” marks Jack Blues’ official music video debut, while Hailey has previously made appearances in several of her husband’s visuals, including DJ Khaled and Drake’s “Popstar,” Dan + Shay and Bieber’s “10,000 Hours,” and Ariana Grande and Bieber’s “Stuck with U.”

Bunnie XO is getting candid about the emotional and physical toll of her IVF journey with husband Jelly Roll.

In a new episode of her Dumb Blonde podcast, the 45-year-old host (real name Alyssa DeFord) addressed why she hasn’t been seen publicly with her 40-year-old country star husband in recent months.

“Somebody said the other day, they’re like, ‘They used to always be together. Now you never see them together,’” Bunnie said, referencing herself and the “Save Me” singer (per People). “I’m like, do you guys not know for the past six months I’ve been trying to make a baby? Like, my husband has to work to f—k bring home the bacon.”

She continued, “Luckily, I have the luxury of being able to work at from home. So he doesn’t. He has to make appearances. But I literally have been on IVF meds for f—king six months and going through heartbreak and f—king so much s—t.”

Despite the challenges, Bunnie made a rare public appearance at SummerSlam 2025 in early August, where she supported Jelly Roll during his WWE in-ring debut against Logan Paul.

Bunnie — who is stepmom to Jelly’s children, daughter Bailee Ann, 16, and son Noah Buddy, 7 — has been open with fans about her IVF experience, frequently sharing updates on her podcast and social media. In late July, she posted a vulnerable TikTok reflecting on the first half of 2025.

“I’ve had to miss a lot of fun things, my body has been thru the ringer & honestly I’m exhausted mentally & physically,” she wrote alongside a photo of herself cuddling her pet cow. “But, I can feel the light shifting. I’m finally coming out of the cocoon & trusting that God’s timing is never wrong.”

Earlier this summer, Bunnie revealed that she and Jelly had received a major update in their IVF journey.

“When you just got the call you’ve been waiting on for 5 months since this ivf journey started,” she shared in an emotional Instagram post. “All the tears, the hopelessness & the struggle, God finally said, ‘Here.’”

She later clarified in the comments, “This is not a pregnancy announcement – we won’t announce that,” she wrote. “This is just a huge win for us.”

In March, Bunnie also opened up about how isolating the IVF process can feel. “It’s just you and these hormones and the waiting and the egg retrieval … It’s a lot to bear,” she said on her podcast.
