Noah Kahan accepts Top Rock Album for Stick Season at the 2024 Billboard Music Awards.

Noah Kahan:
Thank you so much to the Billboard Music Awards for giving me the honor of Top Rock Album. I am so so moved and honored. I broke into the Stranger Studio to celebrate. If this award has taught me anything, it’s how weak my wrists are. I’m developing carpal tunnel as we speak. But honestly, thank you so much for this amazing honor. I made this album about Vermont, and I want to shout out people there, my family there. Want to shout out my management team, my label, Mercury, my management foundations, Sony Publishing, my band, my dogs. I’m just so grateful to have a chance to win awards in my career, something that I’m not used to. So thank you, guys. I’m gonna put this next to all my other awards. There are one, so it’ll look really good up there in the shelf. Thank you guys so much again.

Bishop Briggs tells BBMAs host Michelle Buteau about her song “River” going viral on TikTok at the 2024 Billboard Music Awards.

Michelle Buteau

I am so excited to be hanging out with my girl Bishop Briggs. What? I mean, you look good, honey. 

Bishop Briggs 

Thank you! I’m obsessed with you. You know this, but you are so talented, and this is so cool!  

Michelle Buteau

Takes one to know one! 

Bishop Briggs 

Thank you.

Michelle Buteau 

What I do love about talent and songs, let’s say you know they can find another shelf life, like your song “River” has become a huge TikTok trend. Did you ever think or like, foresee that happening?

Bishop Briggs  

I had no idea that was happening, and then I found out that it was happening, and I was like, I need to study this app. I became addicted and obsessed. And I’m in love. Yeah, it’s the best. I love it. It’s so surreal. It’s so cool. 

Michelle Buteau 

Are you dancing in the mirror? Like, what are you doing for fun?

Bishop Briggs 

No one’s asking me to dance. Like, I’ve never had someone be like, “Oh, please, dance more.” That’s not happening for me. 

Michelle Buteau

What? I will always ask you to dance more with the 5678, and the grapevine, sis.. 

Bishop Briggs 

I love people dancing, but like, now the competition is so steep. Like, if I dance without song.

Michelle Buteau 

Yeah, you have to lean into, like, doing it bad, so it looks funny. You know it’s a whole, 

Bishop Briggs 

OMG, so smart! 

Michelle Buteau

Thank you for coming by, you look good.

Bishop Briggs 

Thank you. I actually woke up like this, so thank you.

Trent Reznor Focused on Scoring Films with Atticus Ross Because ‘The Culture of the Music World Sucks’

Nine Inch Nails collaborators Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross have spent the lion’s share of their recent musical history working on film scores. Per a new interview, Reznor has chalked that decision up to a “disillusionment” with the greater world of music.

Reznor, who was the sole official member of Nine Inch Nails until Ross was welcomed into the fold in 2016, has been crafting soundtracks with his musical partner with increasing regularity since they made their debut with David Fincher’s The Social Network. Films such as Gone Girl, Bird Box, and Soul have also featured their musical efforts, which are more focused on films rather than the Nine Inch Nails project.

As it stands, it’s currently been almost five years since Nine Inch Nails released the surprise pair of albums – Ghosts V: Together and Ghosts VI: Locusts – in March 2020. Since then, the Oscar-winning duo of Reznor and Ross have scored nine films, including Luca Guadagnino’s 2024 films Challengers and Queer.

In a new interview with IndieWire, Reznor explained that working with directors such as Guadagnino has been far more rewarding than previous efforts within the traditional music industry.

“What we’re looking for [from film] is the collaborative experience with interesting people. We haven’t gotten that from the music world necessarily, for our own choice,” Reznor told the publication. “You mentioned disillusionment with the music world? Yes. The culture of the music world sucks. That’s another conversation, but what technology has done to disrupt the music business in terms of not only how people listen to music but the value they place on it is defeating.

“I’m not saying that as an old man yelling at clouds, but as a music lover who grew up where music was the main thing,” he continued. “Music [now] feels largely relegated to something that happens in the background or while you’re doing something else. That’s a long, bitter story.”

Despite Reznor’s comments about a disillusionment with the industry inspiring a greater desire to work on film projects, this year has also seem him share comments to the contrary. In April, Reznor noted that his work with Ross had left the pair eager to work on a new Nine Inch Nails album.

“[Soundtrack work has] managed to make Nine Inch Nails feel way more exciting than it had been in the past few years,” he said. “I’d kind of let it atrophy a bit in my mind for a variety of reasons.” Ross added he feels, “excited about starting on the next record… I think we’re in a place now where we kind of have an idea.”

Currently, no further details on when Nine Inch Nails’ prospective new album may arrive, though Reznor and Ross were reportedly also working on a TV series, a short film, a video game, and a festival.

SEVENTEEN Performs ‘LOVE, MONEY, FAME’ | Billboard Music Awards 2024

Kicking things off on Los Angeles’ Wilshire Boulevard, the 13 suave members of SEVENTEEN dazzled the city streets with perfectly in-sync choreography, sharp formations and smooth live vocals and raps. The Artist 100-topping group performed “Love, Money, Fame,” the DJ-Khaled assisted lead single from their latest EP, Spill the Feels (Oct. 14). Although Khaled did not appear for the performance, SEVENTEEN kept their set as dynamic as ever by traveling from the streets to the beach midway through the song. With feverish crowds in front of them and a picturesque ocean scene in the background, SEVENTEEN closed their performance highlighting the special connection between them and their fans during live sets.

In just two months of release, “Love, Money, Party” has already started heating up the Billboard charts. The R&B and hip-hop-infused track has climbed to No. 50 on the Global 200 and No. 4 on World Digital Song Sales, earning SEVENTEEN their landmark 25th top 10 hit on the latter ranking.

SEVENTEEN’s seismic 2024 BBMAs experience didn’t stop there; the beloved group also shared a heartfelt message to their CARATs while accepting their Top K-pop Touring Artist award.

“First and foremost, this wouldn’t have been possible without our amazing fans, CARATs,” said Joshua. “We try to make it up to you with good music and performances, but you always seem to find a way to surprise us with even more love. So thank you so much, and please know that we feel your support every step of the way.”

Vernon continued: “Being in the middle of our Right Here World Tour right now as we speak, this award is even more meaningful to us. We’ll take it as a reminder to keep going and bring our music as close to the audience as possible. Once again, we want to thank our CARATs and everyone who joined us on the SEVENTEEN Right Here World Tour. We promise to continue creating music that brings good energy and happiness. Thank you. Say the name, SEVENTEEN!”

SEVENTEEN is the second-ever act to win this BBMAs category; Top K-pop Touring Artist was introduced at the 2023 ceremony with BLACKPINK as the inaugural winner.

The U.S. leg of SEVENTEEN’s Right Here Tour has spawned several iconic moments, including the group’s Stateside stadium debut at Los Angeles’ BMO Stadium (Nov. 9 and 10). The Right Here Tour began on Oct. 12 with the first of two shows at South Korea’s Goyang Stadium and will wrap on Feb. 16, 2025, with the last of two shows at Thailand’s Rajamangala National Stadium. The group’s new trek follows their Follow Tour, which visited 13 different stadiums across Asia.

SEVENTEEN has earned six top 10 titles on the Billboard 200, including 2022’s Face the Sun (No. 7), 2023’s FML (No. 2) and 2024’s Spill the Feels (No. 5). On Top Album Sales, they have earned six chart-toppers dating back to 2021’s Attacca.

Accepting her trophy for Top New Artist via video, Roan thanked Billboard for the prize, reflecting on her big year. “Thank you, Billboard, for naming me your Top New Artist of 2024, this is so awesome,” she said with a laugh. “You’ve really been so supportive and put not just one song, but multiple songs on the Billboard charts.”

The “Good Luck, Babe!” singer added that she still felt a bit baffled by the “new” label, considering she’s been making music since 2015. “This has taken a long time to be a new artist, but it’s awesome to be recognized,” she said. “All these years of hard work are truly paying off, so thank you for being a part of that.”

With her Top New Artist win, Roan succeeded over fellow finalists Shaboozey, Teddy Swims, Tommy Richman and Benson Boone. Meanwhile, Roan was also a finalist in the Top Female Artist category, alongside fellow pop stars Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish, SZA and Sabrina Carpenter.

The new trophy is just one of Roan’s massive accomplishments for 2024 — throughout the year, the “Hot to Go!” singer charted seven songs on the Hot 100, brought her 2023 album The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess to No. 2 on the Billboard 200, broke attendance records at Lollapalooza and Austin City Limits and scored a whopping six Grammy nominations, including one in each of the Big Four categories.

Fuerza Regida Performs “PERO NO TE ENAMORES” & “NEL” | Billboard Music Awards 2024

Fuerza Regida performs “PERO NO TE ENAMORES” and “NEL”at the 2024 Billboard Music Awards.

“Pero No Te Enamores” lyrics

(Hola, amor)

Enamorar a un niño vago

No es tan fácil como lo creías

Mejor déjate de cosas

Tú sabes que te vo’a lastimar

Fiesta, alcohol y la bebida

Te metiste donde no debías

Tan coqueta, tú eres putifina

Yo tan rockstar que no sabe amar

Bebé

Somos tan diferentes

Pero juntitos muy buenos pa’ comernos

Tú sabes bien qué tranza

Te gusta mi cama y quieres mi veneno

Sabes que soy el bueno

Porfa, mija, nomás no te enamores

Pero no te enamores

Fuerza Regida

Ey, princesa, pero no te enamores

Princess, si tú te sientes sola

Te pongo fecha y la hora

Y aunque no estés conmigo ahora

Tendremos un ratito a solas

Tú sabes muy bien, me conoces

Yo no soy de comprarte flores

Y si un día te mandé las flores

Tú sabes que fue para culear

Bebé

Somos tan diferentes

Pero juntitos muy buenos pa’ comernos

Tú sabes bien qué tranza

Te gusta mi cama y quieres mi veneno

Sabes que soy el bueno

Porfa, mija, nomás no te enamores

Pero no te enamores

(Pensé que eras diferente)

(Pero eres igual que todos)

(Me saliste con lo mismo)

(Te odio)

“Nel” lyrics

Hoy pensé en salir a buscarte, pero nel

Llamarte, pero nel

Otra noche, otro hotel

Palos van más de tres

La loca ni sé quién es

La enamoró mi Cartier

Sí, bien rica, pero nel

Culoncita, pero nel

Colombianas, puras de diez, camarada

Chanel, Prada, mami, me prendes, me mamas

Si tú quieres, te pongo Jeepeta y casa

Pieles verdes, esta loquera me encanta

Baby, es que me perdí en tus ojos

Desde esa noche, mami, me tienes bien loco

Whiskey y tequila, y que no falte la de coco

Mami, yo te toco, quítame el antojo

Hoy pensé en salir a buscarte, pero nel

Llamarte, pero nel

Otra noche, otro hotel

Palos van más de tres

La loca ni sé quién es

La enamoró mi Cartier

Sí, bien rica, pero nel

Culoncita, pero nel

Tú mi muñequita aferrafter

Pa’l tusi, una experta, una master

Preciosa, una alérgica al látex

Cómo lo bate, cómo lo bate (duro)

Tú mi muñequita aferrafter

Pa’l tusi, una experta, una master

Preciosa, una alérgica al látex

Cómo lo bate, cómo lo bate

Baby, es que me perdí en tus ojos

Desde esa noche, mami, me tienes bien loco

Whiskey y tequila, y que no falte la de coco

Mami, yo te toco, quítame el antojo

Baby, es que me perdí en tus ojos

Desde esa noche, mami, me tienes bien loco

Whiskey y tequila, y que no falte la de coco

Mami, yo te toco, quítame el antojo

(Tú mi muñequita aferrafter)

(Cómo lo bate, cómo lo bate)
