Lisa Both Matches And Beats Jung Kook's Radio Records
Lisa's 'Priceless' with Maroon 5 ties Jung Kook's 'Seven' with seven weeks on Billboard's Radio ... More Songs chart, matching a K-pop soloist milestone. BANGKOK, THAILAND - FEBRUARY 14: Lalisa Manobal attends "The White Lotus" Season 3 Bangkok Premiere at ICONSIAM River Park on February 14, 2025 in Bangkok, Thailand. (Photo by Billy H.C. Kwok/Getty Images for HBO) When it comes to scoring hits on Billboard's all-genre Radio Songs chart, Jung Kook stands as the most successful K-pop soloist, at least in terms of his total number of appearances. The BTS superstar has already landed on the tally three times under his solo name, and all of those tracks have managed historically-long stays – at least by K-pop artist standards at American radio. As time goes on, some of his accomplishments have been matched — and even beaten — by other K-pop stars. Lisa, one of the four members of Blackpink, has bested one of Jung Kook's runs on the Radio Songs tally and matched another one of his as her recent collaboration with Maroon 5, "Priceless," continues to find space on the highly-competitive airplay ranking. "Priceless" Climbs to a New Peak "Priceless" inches up from No. 47 to No. 43 on the Radio Songs list this frame. That position marks a new all-time high for the track on the list of the biggest hits on American radio. Chart position is certainly important, but it's the duration of the song's stay that is especially significant at the moment. Lisa Matches Jung Kook's Chart Run "Priceless" has now spent seven weeks on the Radio Songs chart. The cut matches Jung Kook's "Seven," a collaboration with rapper Latto, which fell off the list after a very fitting seven frames. At this point, "Priceless" and "Seven" are jointly tied as the fourth-longest-running hits by any K-pop soloist on the Radio Songs tally. Lisa and Maroon 5 form one tie with the BTS singer as they break another. "Too Much," a joint effort with The Kid Laroi and Central Cee, lasted six weeks before disappearing from the Radio Songs chart. Rosé Holds the Record for Longest-Running Hit The all-time record among K-pop soloists is held by "Apt.," fronted by Blackpink's Rosé alongside Bruno Mars. That composition jumps to No. 21 this frame and extends its lead to an incredible 33 weeks on the list. Following "Apt." is Psy's viral smash "Gangnam Style," which managed 13 frames more than a decade ago. "Left and Right," a collaboration between Charlie Puth and Jung Kook, sits just one week behind that smash, with a 12-week run. Another Week Could Break the Tie "Priceless" will likely remain on the Radio Songs chart next week. If it manages to hold onto a spot in the top 50, Lisa will break her current tie with Jung Kook. Whether she can stretch the track's life long enough to tie or surpass Jung Kook's all-time longest-charting solo effort remains to be seen, but since "Priceless" hasn't climbed very high on the roster, there's a chance it could fall off in the near future.

Tyla Asks ‘Is It' Wrong for a New Romance to Feel So Right on Latest Single
Tyla doesn't give a fuck when it comes to sharing all her desires. On new track 'Is It,' the South African singer asks, 'Am I coming on a little strong?' but doesn't care to know the answer; she still puts all her sensual desires on display over an infectious dancehall-inspired beat. She also shared a video to accompany the single. Directed by Aerin Moreno, who also directed the singer's 'Push 2 Start' video, the 'Is It' visual showcases her sharp Bacardi choreography. The Bacardi dance has become a staple of Tyla's, and has ties to the amapiano genre she has championed. By the end of the video, the singer has ignited an entire dance party with her spicy moves (and found a fresh pair of sunglasses).

Veteran broadcaster says first reaction to Live Aid was ‘real anger'
Veteran journalist Michael Buerk, who reported on the Ethiopian famine in 1984, revealed his initial reaction to the Live Aid concerts, which raised funds for the crisis, 'was real anger'. The iconic event, organised by musicians Bob Geldof and Midge Ure, is marking its 40th anniversary this year. Held at London's Wembley Stadium and John F Kennedy Stadium in the US, the concerts raised millions of pounds, but also faced criticism for its portrayal of Africa, with Geldof rejecting the idea that he is a 'white saviour' due to his charity work. Buerk, 79, a veteran broadcaster and former presenter on the BBC's Ten O'Clock News, now known as BBC News At Ten, was instrumental in bringing the shocking plight of famine-hit Ethiopia to the world in 1984 with his reports. 'My first reaction (to Live Aid) was real anger that I thought superficial, grandstanding pop singers were riding on the back of these people whom I felt very protective of,' he told Greatest Hits Radio. 'I didn't watch it and in fact on the afternoon of Live Aid I was in a black township just to the east of Johannesburg being tear gassed… also of course South Africa was one of the very, very few countries that didn't show it.' Speaking about the famine in Ethiopia, he added: 'I'd never seen anything like this, there was a lot of drought and a lot of hunger in South Africa in the 1980s (but) what we hadn't seen was famine, death at that kind of scale before… 'I was very concerned when I got back to Nairobi about how to tell the story because I was there I was not just seeing it and hearing it but smelling it; and I wondered what the reaction would be for people who would be sitting and watching it in the comfort of their own homes, cup of tea, glass of beer or something and it's just on in two dimensions in the corner of the living room.' Asked how he feels about Live Aid now, he said: 'I think it was extraordinary really, I think Geldof, the personality, the intelligence, the focus, the foul-mouthedness; just an extraordinary person. It was a moment in time, wasn't it?' Greatest Hits Radio is recreating the 1985 Live Aid broadcast in its entirety in a 10-hour special, hosted by Simon Mayo, featuring all of the original live performances from the likes of David Bowie, The Who and Sir Paul McCartney. Listen to Live Aid Relived from midday Sunday on Greatest Hits Radio.
