On the latest episode, Keith and Katie welcome Selena Gomez to the show, where she plays our not-so-famous fishbowl Q&A game. We find out what musician the singer would like to collaborate with, what her first concert was, a little bit about her upcoming tour and much more. (And why Gomez says she and Keith are “kindred spirits”!) Gomez’s new album, Revival, is heading for a possible No. 1 debut on the Billboard 200 chart.
Keith and Katie also discuss Janet Jackson’s No. 1 bow on the Billboard 200 albums chart with Unbreakable, and why it’s historic. (They also count down their top three favorite Jackson singles!) In addition, they chat about how Drake’s “Hotline Bling” could soon overtake The Weeknd’s “The Hills” at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. Also on the show: a Chart Stat of the Week about another Jackson: Michael.
