Charlie Puth Is Seemingly Taking Taylor Swift’s Lyrical Shout-Out as a ‘Sign’ to Release New Single

Charlie Puth seems to be taking Taylor Swift‘s recent lyrical shout-out as a sign to release his new song.

On Friday (May 3), the “See You Again” singer teased his upcoming single “Hero” just days after responding to Swift name-dropping him on the title track of her record-breaking double album, The Tortured Poets Department.

“These last couple weeks have been really crazy for obvious reasons, but I wanted to share something with you,” Puth wrote over a TikTok clip of himself crooning his forthcoming track.

“This is a song I wrote about my friend called ‘Hero.’ Sometimes I get a little nervous being overly honest in my music which is why this was sitting on my hard drive for awhile,” Puth added. “But I think someone out there was giving me a sign that I needed to release it.”

The “Light Switch” single concluded his post, writing, “So…. I declare ‘Hero’ will be out everywhere on May 24th as the first single of my new album. Thank you for your support…you know who you are.”

Swift references Puth in the title track of her 11th album, The Tortured Poets Department, which dropped on April 19.

“You smoked then ate seven bars of chocolate/ We declared Charlie Puth should be a bigger artist,” she sings on the song, which many fans have speculated features veiled references to Taylor’s reported brief 2023 fling with The 1975’s Matty Healy.

Puth first reacted to Swift’s unexpected mention in a post through social media on April 28. After Swift posted an image of the herself in the studio with TTPD scrawled in sharpie across the CD version of the sprawling collection, Puth put his own spin on it by grabbing one of the other studio images of a smiling Swift at work with the album’s title scrawled in black marker across the front.

“My mind is blown. I’m completely floored by the love you’ve shown this album,” Swift wrote alongside behind-the-scenes photos of images taken during the album’s recording.

“2.6 million ARE YOU ACTUALLY SERIOUS?? Thank you for listening, streaming, and welcoming Tortured Poets into your life. Feeling completely overwhelmed,” she continued. “I was already so fired up to get back to the tour but you doing THIS?? May 9th can’t come soon enough.”

Puth’s image came from Swift’s celebration of TTPD‘s record-setting run after Swift learned that the album marked her 14th debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200.

Drake Jokingly Asks for Help in Finding ‘Hidden Daughter’ Following Kendrick Lamar Diss Track Claim

Drake is making light of Kendrick Lamar‘s new claim that he has a secret daughter.

In the early hours of Saturday morning (May 4), K. Dot dropped the blistering diss track “Meet the Grahams” in which he calls out Drake for being a “deadbeat” father and alleging that the 6 God is hiding another child besides Adonis.

“You lied about your son, you lied about your daughter, huh, you lied about them other kids that’s out there hoping that you come,” Lamar raps, alluding that Drake has a daughter.

Shortly after Lamar dropped “Meet the Grahams,” which arrived mere minutes after Drizzy’s eviscerating “Family Matters” diss, Drake responded to the claim on his Instagram Story.

“nahhhh hold on can someone find my hidden daughter pls and send her to me,” Drake jokingly wrote alongside a series of face with tears emojis. “these guys are in shambles.”

In the third verse of “Meet the Grahams,” K. Dot goes deeper into his claim about Drake’s alleged secret daughter.

“Dear baby girl/ I’m sorry that your father not active inside your world/ He don’t commit to much but his music, yeah, that’s for sure/ He a narcissist, misogynist, livin’ inside his songs/ Try destroy families rather than takin’ care of his own/ Should be teachin’ you time tables or watchin’ Frozen with you/ Or at your eleventh birthday, singin’ poems with you,” Lamar raps.

On Friday night, Drake dropped “Family Matters,” a seven-minute response to Lamar’s “6:16 in LA” diss track. On the track, Drizzy picks up where he left off to finish “Push Ups” and addresses K. Dot’s alleged fractured relationship with fiancee Whitney Alford, which he claims is filled with infidelity. Elsewhere, the 6 God also alleges that one of Kendrick’s kids could actually be Dave Free’s, Lamar’s pgLang partner. The diss also finds Drake setting his sights on A$AP Rocky, The Weeknd, Metro Boomin, Future and Rick Ross.

A post shared by QUAY (@quayaustralia)

The Grammy winner opened up about the collaboration in an interview with Nylon. “I just picked what I would generally wear,” she said of choosing her favorite styles. “My mom always told me that wearing sunglasses blocks people from seeing your energy and from connecting with you. I didn’t grow up wearing a lot of them, but now they’re so fun. I’m learning how to accessorize them, how to add them to my personality. I tried to basically pick ones I would generally wear.”

Her favorite Quay sunnies are the On Set visor sunglasses. “They’re so cute. I [also] feel like a classic Inspector Gadget, like a slim, black pair, that’s another great shape where I feel it’s fire for day and night. You can go formal, to secretive, to secret agent, to also sexy. It’s divine.”

SZA will have plenty of chances to show off her favorite Quay shades. After taking her SOS Tour to Australia and New Zealand last month, SZA is back Stateside to take the stage at Sol Blume Music Festival in Sacramento, Calif., on May 5.

She’s also billed to co-headline Jack Harlow’s Gazebo Festival held later this month, Governors Ball next month and Lollapalooza in August. Get tickets here.

Sia’s ‘Unstoppable’ Hits 100-Week Milestone on Adult Contemporary Chart

Aptly given its title, Sia’s “Unstoppable” becomes the first song in nearly a quarter-century to spend 100 weeks on Billboard’s Adult Contemporary chart.

The track hits triple-digits on the list dated May 11, where it holds at No. 4. It notched 12 weeks at No. 1, nonconsecutively, between charts dated Nov. 12, 2022, and March 18, 2023.

Below is a look at the select four songs to have logged at least 100 weeks on Adult Contemporary over the chart’s history, which dates to July 1961.

Notably, three are by Australian acts: Above Sia’s song, the top two are by pop duo Savage Garden. (LeAnn Rimes, also on the list below, is from Jackson, Miss.)

Most Weeks on Adult Contemporary Chart:

124, “I Knew I Loved You,” Savage Garden (No. 1 for 17 weeks, beginning Dec. 25, 1999)
123, “Truly Madly Deeply,” Savage Garden (No. 1, 11 weeks, beginning April 11, 1998)
104, “I Need You,” LeAnn Rimes (No. 2 peak, Oct. 7, 2000)
100, “Unstoppable,” Sia (No. 1, 12 weeks, beginning Nov. 12, 2022)

through the chart dated May 11, 2024

Rules regarding the removal of songs from Adult Contemporary due to their age have varied over the years. On average, titles began having longer stays once the survey adopted electronically monitored Luminate data in July 1993. Check out Billboard’s charts legend for more details.

Meanwhile, the longevity of “Truly Madly Deeply” helped spark its No. 1 status on Billboard’s Greatest of All Time Adult Contemporary Songs chart.

“Unstoppable” has charted in the top five of Adult Contemporary for a record 84 weeks, all consecutively since the ranking dated Oct. 8, 2022. Taylor Swift’s “Anti-Hero” follows with a likewise active run of 66 weeks in the top five, placing at No. 5 on the latest list. (The latter hadn’t yet been released when “Unstoppable” started its top five stay; it arrived on Swift’s album Midnights that Oct. 21.)

Mirroring its lengthy chart run, “Unstoppable” has a winding history, as it was originally released on Sia’s 2016 LP This Is Acting. It was used in promos for Major League Baseball’s 2016 postseason and in a Lancôme Idôle commercial, starring Zendaya, in 2019. It subsequently became prominent on TikTok and soundtracked a Samsung Galaxy ad.

Radio promotion followed, at last, in 2022, and the song entered the Adult Contemporary chart dated that June 18. “We started talking about it [that] January. The question was, ‘How are we going to do this?’ ” Erik Olesen of Crush Music told Billboard of the airplay campaign. Complicating the push, Sia’s most recent material has been released on Atlantic Records and “Unstoppable” was originally on RCA Records, and later moved to Sony Music’s catalog division under the Legacy label. However, “both RCA and Legacy were very supportive and were all about us going for this,” Olesen said.

In its favor, “Unstoppable” was among other older songs cutting through in 2022. As it built at radio, Kate Bush took off with her 1985 classic “Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God),” spurred by its synch in Netflix’s Stranger Things. Noted Olesen, “At least ‘Unstoppable’ was 30 years younger!”

As momentum continued to build for the song, Olesen “asked several format captains at different radio chains both domestically and internationally to put it into their callout research. After a couple of weeks, it started to raise its hand and had huge familiarity. One of the most important ingredients for radio is familiarity.”

Since its release, “Unstoppable” has drawn 2.8 billion in airplay audience among reporters to Billboard‘s all-format Radio Songs chart. It has also run up totals of 438.1 million official streams and 494,000 sold in the U.S.

Concurrent with her new chart achievement, Sia’s new album, Reasonable Woman – her first proper LP since This Is Acting – was released today (May 3).

All Billboard charts dated May 11 will update on Billboard.com Tuesday, May 7.
