Beabadoobee has reached a dizzying new high in her career after securing her first-ever U.K. Official No. 1 album with This Is How Tomorrow Moves.

The Filipino-British artist, known offstage as Beatrice Laus, saw her third studio album debut at the top of the U.K. Official Albums Chart, published Friday, Aug. 16, marking a major breakthrough in her music journey.

The achievement builds on her earlier chart successes, where her debut album Fake It Flowers landed at No. 8 in 2020, and Beatopia climbed to No. 4 in 2022.

Beabadoobee shared with U.K. Official Charts: “I just got a No. 1! I am so over the moon. I want to thank the fans for buying and streaming this record and getting this album to No. 1 on the Official Albums Chart. I am so, so happy. I wouldn’t have done it without you guys and everyone who worked on this record. Thank you. I love you all so much!”

This Is How Tomorrow Moves didn’t just top the main chart; it also hit No. 1 on both the Official Record Store Chart and the Official Vinyl Albums Chart.

In other chart news, Will Young’s Light It Up debuted at No. 5, adding an 11th U.K. Top 10 album to his long-standing career. Calvin Harris’s compilation 96 Months entered the chart at No. 11, continuing his streak of Top 40 hits.

Meanwhile, English blues singer Elles Bailey made her first-ever appearance in the U.K. Top 40 with Beneath The Neon Glow at No. 12. Afrobeats artist Asake also celebrated a new peak, with LUNGU BOY debuting at No. 15.

And in a nod to his lasting influence, Billy Joel’s greatest hits collection Piano Man: The Very Best of Billy Joel re-entered the Top 40 at No. 32, following his U.K. performance in Cardiff.

Kenia OS and Steve Aoki’s “Replay” has topped this week’s new music Latin poll.

In a poll published on Friday (Aug. 16) — in support of the weekly New Music Latin roundup and playlist, curated by Billboard Latin and Billboard Español editors — music fans voted for Kenia and Aoki’s first collaborative effort as their favorite music release of the week.

“Replay” generated over 53% of the week’s votes, beating out other new releases that dropped, including new studio albums by Eden Muñoz (Eden) and Nio Garcia (Anto-Nio), as well as Myke Towers and Darell’s “Otra Noche,” Jessi Uribe’s “Si Ya Me Voy,” and Javiera Mena’s “Volver a Llorar,” among others.

Coming in second place was Grupo Firme and Demi Lovato’s flirtatious dance collaboration, “Chula,” where the artists mesh electronic music with banda elements.

In this week’s winning track, Mexican pop star Kenia OS teamed up with renowned DJ Steve Aoki, proving her versatility by navigating from sugary pop to pulsating EDM. “This track represents something big not only for me, but also to put Mexico on the global map,” the Mexican artist expressed in a press statement. “I’ve always been a fan of Steve Aoki and I think we managed to capture that feeling of an endless night. I wanted to give them a different and special song, and what better way to do it than by working with the coolest DJ in the world.”

Last week, music fans crowned Kim Loaiza and Codiciado’s “QuesoXTE” as the winner, bringing in more than 60% of the vote. See the final results of this week’s new music Latin poll below.

LISA and Rosalía‘s “New Woman” has topped this week’s new music poll that features artists in various genres of music.

Music fans voted in a poll published Friday (Aug. 16) on Billboard, choosing the BLACKPINK superstar and Spanish artist’s team-up as their favorite new music release of the past week.

“New Woman” brought in 54% of the vote on the poll, securing an edge ahead of new releases from Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars (“Die With a Smile”), Post Malone (F-1 Trillion), Foster the People (Paradise State of Mind), Hozier (Unaired), and others.

LISA and Rosalía’s Y2K-inspired single arrived Thursday (Aug. 15) with an equally colorful music video. “Hit it when I serve/ B—-, you better swerve/ Revving up my, uh-uh-uh-uh-aura/ Focus on my mind/ Taking my time/ I’m a new woman,” LISA declares on the catchy chorus.

For her verse, Rosalía adds a bilingual element musing, “Nací pura, sí/ Ni una era será un flop en mi porvenir/ P—, soy la Rosalía, solo sé servir,” which translates to “I was born pure/ There won’t be a flop era in my future/ W—-, I’m Rosalía, I only know how to serve.”

The new song arrives a little over a month after the K-pop icon stepped into a new phase of her solo career outside of BLACKPINK with “Rockstar,” which debuted at No. 70 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and No. 4 on the Billboard Global 200.

Trailing behind LISA and Rosalía on this week’s poll is Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars’ “Die With a Smile,” with nearly 36% of the vote. The superstars barely gave fans a heads up before unveiling the collab, the existence of which they only confirmed less than 12 hours ahead of its arrival. 

It’s been a while since either artist has released proper solo music. Gaga’s last album, Chromatica, dropped in 2020, while Mars’ 24K Magic is approaching its eight-year anniversary. The former topped the Billboard 200 albums chart, and the second peaked at No. 2.

Taylor Swift’s The Tortured Poets Department reaches a 15th week atop the Billboard 200 chart (dated Aug. 24) — tying Carole King’s Tapestry for the third-most weeks at No. 1 among albums by women. The latter spent 15 frames at No. 1 in 1971. Only Adele’s 21 (24 weeks in 2011-12) and the Whitney Houston-led soundtrack to The Bodyguard (20 weeks in 1992-93) have more weeks at No. 1 among women.

Tortured Poets earned 85,000 equivalent album units in the U.S. in the week ending Aug. 15 (down 40%), according to Luminate.

Meanwhile, in a quiet top 10 (where no albums debut for the second time in three weeks), Chappell Roan’s The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess hits a new peak for the third week in a row, as it climbs 3-2 with 72,000 units (up 13%), a new weekly high, by units, for the 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. 24, 2024-dated chart will be posted in full on Billboard‘s website on Aug. 20. For all chart news, follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both X, formerly known as Twitter, and Instagram.

Of The Tortured Poets Department’s 85,000 units earned in the week ending Aug. 15, SEA units comprise 57,000 (down 1%, equaling 74.77 on-demand official streams of the set’s widely available deluxe edition’s 31 songs), album sales comprise 28,000 (down 67%) and TEA units comprise a negligible sum (up 5%). On the Top Streaming Albums chart, Poets falls 2-3 and on the Top Album Sales chart, it clocks an eighth week at No. 1.

With Tortured Poets — Swift’s longest-leading album on the Billboard 200 — she adds her 84th career week at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, extending her record among soloists. (Elvis Presley has the second-most among soloists, with 67.) The total encompasses her 14 No. 1 albums. (She’s tied with Jay-Z for the most No. 1s among soloists.)

In the tracking week of Aug. 9-15, news continued to emerge from the foiled terror attack on Swift’s cancelled Eras Tour dates in Vienna. The three Vienna dates (Aug. 8-10) were nixed on Aug. 7 and were the first cancelled shows of the tour, which began on March 17, 2023. On Aug. 15, the tour continued on to its scheduled five-night stand at London’s Wembley Stadium (Aug. 15-17, 19-20), for The Eras Tour’s final shows in Europe.

During the last day (Aug. 15) of the chart’s tracking week, Swift introduced one all-new digital album variant of Poets on her official webstore, which was available for six hours and sold for $4.99. The set included the standard album’s 16 songs, plus one exclusive bonus track, “The Prophecy (Long Story Short – Live From Lyon),” recorded during The Eras Tour on June 2.

Also on Aug. 15, for only six hours, Swift’s webstore restocked a $4.99 digital album variant that was available briefly the previous tracking week — it contained the standard album’s 16 songs plus a live version of “thank You aimEe (Mean – Live from London),” recorded on June 22 during her The Eras Tour. In the previous tracking week, the same digital album variant was sold in Swift’s webstore, but with one slight difference — the stylization of the letters in the title of bonus live song. It was initially stylized as “thanK you aIMee” (mirroring the studio version on the Poets album), and then on Aug. 15, its stylization changed to “thank You aimEe.” The capitalization of the specific letters in the title — KIM and YE — could reference Kim Kardashian and her ex-husband (and longtime Swift foe), Ye, formerly Kanye West.

In the tracking week ending Aug. 15, Tortured Poets sold nearly 10,000 in digital album downloads across all variants through all sellers (including her webstore, the iTunes Store and others). Even if Poets had not sold a single digital album in the latest tracking week, it still would have been No. 1 on the Billboard 200. The No. 2 title, Chappell Roan’s The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess, trails Poets by 13,000 units.

As for The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess, the album reaches a new peak for a third week in a row, as it steps 3-2 with 72,000 equivalent album units earned (its best week by units earned; up 13%). In the last 10 weeks, the album has steadily inched its way up the list. It broke into the top 10 on the June 22-dated chart, rising 12-10. It has since moved 8-6-5-5-7-8-4-3-2.

The 3-2 ascent for Rise reflects the tracking week that contained a buzzy festival performance from Roan — her Aug. 11 gig at Outside Lands in San Francisco. The latter generated a quasi-viral moment where she chastised the VIP section for not singing along to the album’s “Hot To Go!”

Morgan Wallen’s chart-topping One Thing at a Time climbs 4-3 on the latest Billboard 200 with 63,000 equivalent album units earned (up 1%). It also claims a ninth nonconsecutive week at No. 1 on the Top Streaming Albums chart.

Billie Eilish’s Hit Me Hard and Soft steps 5-4 on the Billboard 200 with 57,000 (up 1%), while Zach Bryan’s The Great American Bar Scene climbs 7-5 with 48,000 (though down 6%).

Charli XCX’s Brat is a non-mover at No. 6 (47,000; down 16%); Noah Kahan’s Stick Season steps 9-7 (just over 38,000; up 3%); Wallen’s former No. 1 Dangerous: The Double Album is stationary at No. 8 (38,000; up 2%); Twisters: The Album rises 10-9 (34,000; down 7%); and Zach Bryan’s self-titled chart-topper returns to the top 10, climbing 12-10 (nearly 34,000; up 6%).

Taylor Swift did not announce Reputation (Taylor’s Version) Saturday night, but she did finally perform the album’s “I Did Something Bad” on The Eras Tour. At her Aug. 17 show, the song — a personal favorite, Swift said — got its tour debut during the acoustic set at London’s Wembley Stadium.

“The whole tour I’ve done 100s of songs, but I’ve not done one of my favorite ones,” teased Swift, guitar in hand in front of 92,000 people, “because I was waiting for the right crowd.”

And then came “I Did Something Bad” for the first time in 2024 — a sharp, acoustic version of one of Reputation‘s big pop pillars.

Swift’s Eras rendition of the song still was a thrill, building up to a bridge that had her scream-singing the last “Light me up!”

Of course, it was a thrill to Swifties not just in a musical sense, but in getting hopes high that Swift’s much-anticipated Reputation (Taylor’s Version) might be this-much-closer to materializing.

With only two re-recorded album releases remaining in Swift’s queue, Reputation and her self-titled debut, and with the tip last December that Rep‘s previously unheard vault tracks are “fire” (it’s what Swift said), playing a Rep rarity, which many fans guessed would be saved to align with an album announcement, is an interesting choice. “I Did Something Bad” hasn’t been performed live by Swift since 2018.

Swiftstorians might recall that it was almost exactly seven years ago, on Aug. 18, 2017, when Swift cryptically went dark on socials ahead of the original Reputation album’s announcement. Without explanation, on Aug. 21, 2017, one post showed up on her feed: the first slither of the now-iconic snake imagery associated with her sixth studio album.

“I DID SOMETHING BAD” surfaced as a trending topic on social media into the late hours of Saturday, with fan memes aplenty. (Scroll through them below.)

In Saturday night’s acoustic set, she also played a piano mashup that pulled at the heartstrings: “My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys,” from The Tortured Poets Department, and “Coney Island,” from Evermore. Swift has two more Wembley shows before wrapping her run of London tour dates.
