Billboard Charts First-Timers: Dijon, Eddie Benjamin & Lil B Score Hot 100 Entries Thanks to Justin Bieber
Across Billboard's 200-plus charts this week (dated July 26), a fresh wave of artists debut for the very first time. From rising pop vocalists to a veteran internet rap icon who guests on Justin Bieber's new release, here's a look at the artists who debut for the first time this week. Dijon, Eddie Benjamin & Lil B All three artists debut on the Billboard Hot 100 for the first time this week thanks to their guest appearances on Justin Bieber's new album, Swag. The set debuts at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 with 163,000 equivalent album units earned in the United States July 11-17, according to Luminate — Bieber surprise-released the LP just 10 hours after announcing it.

The song debuts at No. 56 on the strength of 9.1 million official U.S. streams. It also opens at No. 7 on Hot R&B Songs and No. 16 on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs. Dijon's past chart appearances include his 2023 debut album Absolutely (which peaked at No. 71 on Top Album Sales) and a feature on Bon Iver's 'Day One' earlier this year. He's also a key creative behind Swag, co-producing and co-writing multiple tracks including 'Daisies' (No. 2), 'Yukon' (No. 17) and 'Things You Do' (No. 35). Before working with Bieber, Dijon toured with boygenius, Clairo and Bartees Strange. Eddie Benjamin also earns his first Hot 100 entry with 'Swag,' alongside Bieber and Cash Cobain. The song debuts at No. 70 with 7 million U.S. streams. Benjamin had charted once before this week, via his solo song 'Weatherman' — the track peaked at No. 22 on Pop Airplay in May 2022. Benjamin co-wrote or co-produced 13 tracks on Swag, including 'Daisies.' He and Bieber have a longstanding history, as he opened on Bieber's Justice World Tour in 2022. Lil B, the cult internet rap icon, finally lands on the Hot 100 with his co-billed appearance on Bieber's 'Dadz Love,' which debuts at No. 84 (6.2 million streams). Though he first charted in 2011 with I'm Gay (No. 56 peak on Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums), this marks a milestone in his unconventional career. Also known as the BasedGod, Lil B has released dozens of mixtapes in his career and built a legacy as a pioneering figure of internet-era rap. Many of those mixtapes were unavailable on streaming services until 2018, when he uploaded more than 30 of them to DSPs. Beau Nox The pop singer-songwriter scores his first Billboard chart entry with 'White Wine & Adderall,' a collaboration with The Chainsmokers. The track, released July 11 via Secondhand Happiness/Disruptor/Columbia, debuts at No. 8 on Hot Dance/Electronic Songs with 1.3 million U.S. streams. oskar med k The Norwegian producer notches his first chart appearance with 'Make Me Feel,' which debuts at No. 25 on Hot Dance/Electronic Songs, following a 142% streaming surge (691,000 U.S. streams).

Jessie Murph's 1965 Song Backlash — Internet Reactions
Earlier this week, Nashville-born singer-songwriter Jessie Murph made her Tonight Show debut, where she performed her controversial song "1965" from her upcoming album Sex Hysteria. The 20-year-old "Wild Ones" singer's performance made its way onto Twitter (or X), and I think it's safe to say it's certainly left its mark on people. The snippet, originally posted by Pop Crave, has over 23 million views and has sparked several viral tweets in conversation about it. More specifically, people can't stop talking about the song's lyrics. In the Tonight Show clip, Murph sings, "I think I'd give up a few rights, if you would just love me like it's 1965." This, understandably, caused some uproar. This user, citing others arguing that the song is satire, called the lyrics "frankly abhorrent". "and yet sabrina carpenter is the one allegedly setting feminism back," this user said, referencing the recent backlash the :Espresso" singer faced for the cover of her upcoming album, Man's Best Friend, which depicted Carpenter on her knees with an out-of-frame man pulling her hair. The album cover has since been removed from the singer's Instagram page. Another user highlighted lyrics from the song that weren't in the 30-second snippet shared to social media, such as "I might get a little slap-slap, but you won't hit me up on Snapchat," comparing 1960s relationships to those of today. For reference, here are the lyrics to the other verses in the song, with notable lyrics like, "I would be twenty, and it'd be acceptable for you to be forty, and that is fucked up, I know. But at least you wouldn't drive off before I get in the fuckin' door." And, finally, the performance essentially started to become a meme of its own: So, what do you think? Does it totally cross the line in the midst of an administration actively dismantling women's rights, or do you think this whole thing is a case of misunderstood satire and it's a commentary in and of itself? Tell us your take in the comments. You can also watch the full performance for yourself here:
