Lisa Beats BTS's Career High As Her New Collaboration Climbs Again
Lisa and Maroon 5's 'Priceless' rises to No. 7 on the Adult Pop Airplay chart, passing BTS's 'My ... More Universe' and setting a new high for the singer. LAS VEGAS, NEVADA - NOVEMBER 23: Lisa of K-Pop group Blackpink attends the F1 Grand Prix of Las Vegas at Las Vegas Strip Circuit on November 23, 2024 in Las Vegas, Nevada. (Photo by) Blackpink and BTS both emerged as exporters of K-pop to the rest of the world more than half a decade ago, and the two beloved groups made history when they began reaching the Billboard charts in the U.S. In the years since, not only have the two bands racked up multiple bestselling albums and numerous hit songs, but the members that make up those acts have also enjoyed careers as soloists. One of the most commercially successful of the four Blackpink singers, Lisa, advances again on one of Billboard's pop radio tallies this time around. As she does, she breaks a tie with BTS that was set only a few days ago. Lisa Reaches a New Peak on the Adult Pop Airplay Chart Lisa climbs one space on the Adult Pop Airplay chart this week as 'Priceless,' her collaboration with Maroon 5, moves from No. 8 to No. 7. The tune is one of only five that credit any K-pop star — a musician largely associated with the genre, regardless of where they're originally from — to break into the highest tier. It now stands as the second-highest rising hit by any artist from that part of the world on the Adult Pop Airplay tally. Lisa Bests BTS's Chart Record Last week, 'Priceless' was matched with 'My Universe,' a collaboration between Coldplay and BTS. That track debuted on the Adult Pop Airplay chart in October 2021, and in the 20 frames it spent on the roster, it climbed as high as No. 8. Now, it's been pushed to third place, just one rung behind 'Priceless.' Lisa Trails Her Blackpink Bandmate Rosé Now that Lisa has beaten the highest slot that BTS ever reached, the two highest-rising hits of all time by K-pop acts on the Adult Pop Airplay ranking are by Blackpink members. Rosé's 'Apt.,' which benefited from a feature by Bruno Mars, missed out on becoming the first No. 1 by any K-pop musician by just one space, as it peaked at No. 2. 'Priceless' Hits New Highs on Several Tallies 'Priceless' reaches a new peak on both the Adult Pop Airplay and Radio Songs charts this week. On the latter list — which isn't specific to any one format — Lisa and Maroon 5 lift four spaces to No. 43. The same track holds at its No. 24 high point on the Adult Contemporary ranking and climbs again to No. 19 on the Pop Airplay tally after once peaking at No. 18.

Benny Blanco Says He Shazams His Own Songs Sometimes: 'I Can't Remember Anything'
Even if Benny Blanco made the song, it doesn't mean he's going to remember it forever. The record producer and songwriter made a recent appearance on Jake Shane's Therapuss podcast, where he admitted that he has to look up his own songs sometimes. More from The Hollywood Reporter 'KPop Demon Hunters' Cannot Be Stopped on the Charts Kanye West's Ex-Assistant Adds Sexual Battery and Sex Trafficking to Claims in Lawsuit Doechii on Viral BET Awards Speech Calling Out President Trump: "Wasn't Sh** They Could Do" 'The first, like, big pop thing that I ever worked on was Britney Spears,' Blanco said when Shane asked him who was the first successful person he'd worked with. 'Sometimes I am in a restaurant and I'm like, 'Oh, my god, this song's so good.' And I Shazam it, and then it's my own song.' Shazam is an app that names songs in seconds by analyzing a short audio sample. He added that he occasionally doesn't realize it's his own songs because 'I'm old and I can't remember anything. And I've done like hundreds of songs that have come out,' as he noted that 'he's been making songs for 16 years.' When Blanco saw the confused look on Shane's face, he asked the comedian, 'Do you remember every single podcast, every word you said?… Let's say you're on your 16th season of your podcast and someone's like, 'Did you interview Chelsea Handler?' And you're like, 'I think so?'' 'Oh, I guess you're right,' Shane responded. The producer, who is engaged to Selena Gomez, has collaborated with numerous artists over the years, creating some of the biggest hits, including Justin Bieber's 'Love Yourself,' Katy Perry's 'Teenage Dream,' Rihanna's 'Diamonds,' Maroon 5's 'Moves Like Jagger' and more. Blanco also worked on Gomez's 2015 song 'Same Old Love' before they started dating, and most recently worked on their collaborative album, I Said I Love You First, which released earlier this year.

Professional golfers get in final preparations before PGA Tour Champions Dick's Open
ENDICOTT — The Dick's Open is circled on calendars by golfers and golf fans near and far every year. The PGA Tour Champions has made a stop in Endicott nearly every summer since changing from the BC Open. In fact, most golfers participating in the Dick's Open played at En-Joie Golf Club when it was the traditional PGA Tour stop. Advertisement 'I remember everything about that year,' Willie Wood, who won the Dick's Open in 2012, said. But it's not just the memories of winning the Open that makes this particular tournament so special to these golfers. Going to the 2025 Dick's Open Maroon 5? What to know before you go It's the giant 'Welcome Champions' sign displayed on the deck of a house overlooking the 11th tee. It's the hundreds of people coming to the Pro-Am, either to watch or to play a round of golf. It's the gaggle of fans watching the pros at the practice tee, hoping to say hello once the golfers wrap up. It's the familiar feeling, a safe space, that has layers of nostalgia intertwined in every blade of grass. Jerry Kelly smiles on on the sixth hole during the third and final round of the Constellation Furyk & Friends PGA Tour Champions golf tournament Sunday, Oct. 8, 2023 at Timuquana Country Club in Jacksonville, Fla. Brett Quigley won at 11 under par, one stroke over Steven Alker. [Corey Perrine/Florida Times-Union] 'Very similar to the Greater Milwaukee open back in the day, when I was able to play in my home state,' Jerry Kelly said. 'So I love the neighborhood feel, of course, it feels like home.' Advertisement For the first time since 2021, there will be a new Dick's Open champion, too. Padraig Harrington, who's won the last three-straight years, is participating in the Genesis Scottish Open this weekend and won't defend his trophy for a fourth year. That leaves Cameron Beckman and Doug Barron as the two most recent winners competing. The idea of a new champion being named on the 18th Green adds just a touch of excitement that hasn't been here in the last few years. 'Play is pretty good here every year,' Barron said. 'So I'm just really looking forward to Friday.' Then of course, the familiarity of the course is a major advantage for the pros. Players like Barron, who've seen the course during his PGA Tour days and now, can remember how the course has changed over time. Lot V at the 2025 Dick's Sporting Goods Open at the 2025 Dick's Sporting Goods Open 'It's really fun to play the exact same golf course,' Kelly said. 'Not a whole lot has changed. Trees have gotten a little bit bigger, but we like that.' Advertisement Kelly also played in the BC Open while he was a part of the PGA Tour. It's been a long time since he's played this particular course, and even then, he admitted he only played the front nine during the practice rounds. His first time experiencing the back nine ahead of the first round was during the Pro-Am, playing alongside amateur golfers. 'I haven't played the backside yet for a really long time, so I'll have to get my driving lines,' Kelly said. 'But after that, it's all golf.' The pros get one final go-around on the course with the Pro-Am, but it's very rarely seen as practice. The golfers are trying to focus more on the amateurs who've come to play and their families. Advertisement Yes, there's the element of seeing the course one more time. Playing all 18 holes, even at a slower pace. But it's the fun, casual kind of golfing – without the constant checking of the leaderboard or the intense competition with other golf legends. Doug Barron tees off on 1 to start the final round of The Galleri Classic at Mission Hills Country Club in Rancho Mirage, Calif., Sunday, March 30, 2025. The part of the preparation that requires the least bit of thinking, but allows the golfers to just be there. Be in the moment, and take a moment to enjoy the sport before the tournament begins Friday morning. 'During the Pro Am, it's not about me, it's about the people that you play with,' Barron said. 'So you just have to figure out their personalities and what works for them and to make sure they have a great day.' Advertisement These golfers have played this sport their entire life, and at their age are relishing the ability to still play. Their to-do list before every tournament rarely changes, but at least when they arrive in Endicott, they know there's a homecoming feeling waiting for them. 'It's kind of a hometown feel, and people really come out, the community really supports it well, and that's kind of nice to see,' Wood said. 'It's kind of throwback, if you will. It's really a great, great group of people to come out and watch and support and see every year after year after year.'
