For the back-to-back Billboard Hot 100 charts this year dated Oct. 25 and Nov. 1, no rap songs appeared in the top 40 — marking the first times since the Feb. 3, 1990 chart that the genre was totally absent from that region. That two-week drought comes to an end this week, thanks to Megan Thee Stallion. 

Megan’s new love song “Lover Girl” debuts at No. 38 on the Nov. 8 Hot 100, marking the first rap song (defined by Billboard as a song deemed eligible for ranking on our Hot Rap Songs listing) to reach the chart’s top 40 since Kendrick and SZA’s “Luther” spent its 44th (and to date, final) week on the listing dated Oct. 18. Following that chart, the song fell into recurrent status in the chart, as a result of recently introduced rules updating and speeding up the Hot 100’s recurrent policy. 

“Lover Girl” bows with 8.5 million official U.S. streams, 1.5 million in radio airplay audience and 5,000 sold in the week ending Oct. 30, according to Luminate. 

Billboard’s reporting last week about the top 40 being rap song-less for the first time in over 35 years set off major waves of discussion within the hip-hop and pop communities about rap’s current place in the popular music ecosystem. Such public figures as rapper-podcaster Joe Budden and producer The Alchemist weighed in with their feelings about the circumstances and meaning behind the temporary absence. 

“Lover Girl” marks Megan Thee Stallion’s 21st song to reach the Hot 100’s top 40. Most recently, she visited the region on the chart dated Sept. 21, 2024 with two tracks: her RM team-up “Neva Play,” which debuted at No. 36, and “Wanna Be,” with GloRilla, at No. 40 after reaching No. 11. Three of Megan’s songs have topped the chart: the Beyoncé-featuring “Savage” and the Cardi B-led “WAP” in 2020, and her unaccompanied “Hiss” in 2024. 

While “Lover Girl” ends the top 40’s rap songs relative dry spell for the week, it might not yet be the start of another years-long streak for rap in the region. As is typical of much-anticipated songs following their second week of release, “Lover Girl” is likely to fall on the next Hot 100 — and there are no rap songs currently behind it on the chart that are zooming in to take its place. 

Indeed, the next two highest-charting rap songs on the Hot 100 both fall from their previous week’s position: YoungBoy Never Broke Again’s “Shot Callin” (43-48) and BigXthaPlug’s Ella Langley-featuring “Hell at Night” (50-52). However, below that, Gunna’s Burna Boy-featuring “wgft” does have some forward momentum, rising 59-55, as does Cardi B’s “Safe,” featuring Kehlani, up 57-56 and gaining in airplay after debuting at its No. 26 peak last month.

Diplo got the short end of the stick in his “love triangle” with Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau — something he joked about in a hilarious recent Instagram post.

On Monday (Nov. 3), the DJ shared a selfie he once snapped at a crowded event with the former Canadian prime minister on Instagram. In the picture, Diplo makes a silly face while Trudeau stares straight into the camera.

“the one that got away,” the musician wrote in his caption, playfully referencing Perry’s 2011 hit of the same name.

The humorous post comes a few weeks after Diplo addressed his past fling with the pop star — who is now linked to Trudeau — on Nayeema Raza’s Smart Girls Dumb Questions podcast. At the time, the host had started to say that she knew “so many people” who’d dated the politician, but before she could finish, Diplo had interjected, “… who’ve dated Katy Perry? Like me?”

Indeed, the producer and Perry were briefly romantically involved circa 2014. Three years later, the singer would rank Diplo last on her list of best and worst ex-partners in the bedroom, after which he would write on X that he’d “won the bronze in sex Olympics.”

“Now, Katy Perry’s dating Justin Trudeau,” Diplo continued on Raza’s show. “Pretty fire.”

He went on to joke that he’d “dated Trudeau, too,” but ultimately determined, “That was a weird one, though. I’m just not into politicians. He is kinda hot.”

Diplo’s remarks come shortly after Perry and Trudeau made their debut with their first public outing as a couple, stepping out together in Paris. Before that, the Ottawa native had attended one of the musician’s concerts in Montreal before packing on the PDA with Perry on a boat.

Cardi B made an appearance at Gillette Stadium on Sunday (Nov. 2), a month-and-a-half after revealing she’s expecting a baby with football player Stefon Diggs, wide receiver for the New England Patriots. The rapper was spotted seated next to Robert Kraft as the Patriots played the Atlanta Falcons in Foxborough, Mass.

In videos from the NFL game, Cardi’s seen standing at her seat and cheering, with a wide grin on her face — and looking chic in burgundy leather from Bottega.

Cardi and Diggs made their relationship Instagram official in June, and the Am I the Drama? artist announced her pregnancy in September while promoting her new album. The baby on the way is their first together, and joins Cardi’s children Kulture, Blossom and Wave (with her ex, Offset) and Diggs’ daughter Nova.

“I’m excited,” Cardi said on CBS Mornings. “I’m happy. I feel like I’m in a good space. I feel very strong. I feel very powerful that I’m doing all this work. But I’m doing all this work while I’m creating a baby, and me and my man, we’re very supportive of each other.”

On Friday (Oct. 31), she took a moment to address “hate coming from different angles” in her life, including from “partners that I dealt with.” Although she didn’t name Offset in her comment, he appeared to take a dig at Cardi and Diggs on his Haunted by Fame project, which was released on Halloween.

“One thing I notice, I swear to God, and it’s so real … anybody that messes with me while I’m at my most vulnerable — and my most vulnerable is always when I’m pregnant — God always punishes them,” she said Halloween morning. “Two, three years might pass … and God goes and punish them the worst way.”

Taylor Swift’s The Life of a Showgirl spends its first month atop the Billboard 200 chart, as it racks up its fourth straight week at No. 1 (on the chart dated Nov. 8). It earned 146,000 equivalent album units (down 25%) in the United States in the week ending Oct. 30, according to Luminate.

The Life of a Showgirl is only the second album in 2025 to spend its first month at No. 1, following Morgan Wallen’s I’m the Problem (which spent its first eight weeks atop the list, of its total 12 at No. 1). Swift’s own The Tortured Poets Department spent its first 12 weeks at No. 1 in 2024, of its total 17 weeks atop the list.

With The Life of a Showgirl spending a fourth week at No. 1, Swift adds her 90th career week at No. 1 on the chart, extending her record among soloists. Elvis Presley has the second-most among soloists, with 67. The total encompasses her 15 No. 1 albums, the most among soloists. Only The Beatles have more weeks at No. 1 (132) and more No. 1 albums (19) among all artists.

Also in the top 10 of the latest Billboard 200, new releases from Daniel Caesar, Brandi Carlile and Demi Lovato all debut.

The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption as measured in equivalent album units, compiled by Luminate. Units comprise album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). Each unit equals one album sale, or 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 3,750 ad-supported or 1,250 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album. The new, Nov. 8, 2025-dated chart will be posted in full on Billboard‘s website on Nov. 4. For all chart news, follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both X, formerly known as Twitter, and Instagram.

Of The Life of a Showgirl’s 146,000 equivalent album units earned in the latest tracking week, SEA units comprise 121,000 (down 22%, equaling 157.82 million on-demand official streams of the set’s tracks — it’s No. 1 on Top Streaming Albums for a fourth week), album sales comprise 22,000 (down 41%; it falls 1-3 on Top Album Sales) and TEA units comprise 3,000 (up 411%).

The chart-topping KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack is a non-mover at No. 2 on the latest Billboard 200 (84,000 equivalent album units earned, down 12%), while I’m the Problem is also stationary at No. 3 (76,000, down 8%).

Daniel Caesar collects his first top 10 album as Son of Spergy debuts at No. 4 with 43,000 equivalent album units earned — his best week by units ever. Of that sum, SEA units comprise 26,000 (equaling 34.11 million on-demand official streams of the set’s tracks, marking his best streaming week ever; it debuts at No. 10 on Top Streaming Albums), album sales comprise 17,000 (his best sales week ever; it debuts at No. 4 on Top Album Sales) and TEA units comprise a negligible sum.

Son of Spergy is Caesar’s fourth charted effort on the Billboard 200 in total, and all of them have reached the top 40. Previously, he charted with Never Enough (No. 14 peak in 2023), Case Study 01 (No. 17 in 2019) and Freudian (No. 25 in 2017).

The new album’s first-week sales were aided by its availability across five vinyl variants (including one signed), two CD iterations (one of them signed), alongside a standard digital download album.

Son of Spergy was preceded by three charting entries on Billboard’s Hot R&B Songs chart: “Have a Baby (With Me)” (No. 17 peak in August), “Call On Me” (No. 17 in September) and “Moon” (featuring Bon Iver) (No. 16 in October).

Sabrina Carpenter’s former leader Man’s Best Friend holds at No. 5 on the latest Billboard 200 (42,000 equivalent album units earned, down 3%), while Olivia Dean’s The Art of Loving rises 7-6 (39,000 units, up 5%).

Brandi Carlile captures her fifth top 10 album on the Billboard 200 as Returning to Myself debuts at No. 7 with 35,000 equivalent album units earned. Of that sum, album sales comprise 32,000 (it debuts at No. 1 on Top Album Sales), SEA units comprise 3,000 (equaling 4.31 million on-demand official streams of the album’s tracks) and TEA units comprise a negligible sum.

In total, Returning to Myself is Carlile’s 10th charted effort on the Billboard 200. Of those, five have reached the top 10: Returning to Myself, Who Believes in Angels? (her collaborative album with Elton John; No. 9 in April); By the Way, I Forgive You (No. 5 in 2018), The Firewatcher’s Daughter (No. 9 in 2015) and Bear Creek (No. 10 in 2012).

The new album was preceded by its first radio-promoted single, its title track, which reached No. 12 on the Adult Alternative Airplay chart in October.

Returning to Myself’s first-week sales were bolstered by the set’s availability across five vinyl variants (including one signed edition), two CD iterations (including one signed), a commentary edition of the album at digital retail, and a standard digital download album.

Cardi B’s former No. 1 AM I THE DRAMA? falls 6-8 with 32,000 equivalent album units earned (down 20%).

Demi Lovato scores her 10th top 10 album on the Billboard 200 as It’s Not That Deep debuts at No. 9 with 31,000 equivalent album units earned. Of that sum, album sales comprise 24,000 (it debuts at No. 2 on Top Album Sales), SEA units comprise 7,000 (equaling 9.78 million on-demand official streams of the set’s tracks) and TEA units comprise a negligible sum.

The album was preceded by two of its tracks that reached Billboard’s Hot Dance/Pop Songs chart: “Fast” (No. 8 in August) and “Here All Night” (No. 13 in September).

It’s Not That Deep’s first-week sales were enhanced by its availability across six vinyl variants (including one signed), two CDs (one signed), a cassette, an artist webstore-exclusive download album with three bonus tracks, an iTunes Store-exclusive edition with one bonus track, and a standard digital download album.

Closing out the new top 10 on the latest Billboard 200 is SZA’s former No. 1 SOS, which falls 8-10 with nearly 31,000 equivalent album units earned (down 2%).
