Lady Gaga, Bad Bunny, The Weeknd, And Other Pop Icons Show What It Takes To Be A Stadium Headliner

Lady Gaga was just a girl at a piano in the middle of a baseball field surrounded by 52,000 of her closest friends for a good chunk of her Chromatica Ball tour stop at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles on Saturday night. That got us thinking: how does a pop star get to the point where she can command such a large audience on her own?

Also on the show, “As It Was” by Harry Styles spends a 13th week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, making it one of only 13 songs to spend 13 weeks or more at No. 1 in the chart’s 64-year history. In addition, Styles’ “Late Night Talking” jumps 12-3 due to increased sales and promotion, making him the first act this year to have three songs in the top three. In addition, OneRepublic enters the Hot 100 top 10 for the first time since 2014, Bad Bunny’s Un Verano Sin Ti now has the most weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart in more than a year, and Morgan Wallen’s former No. 1 album Dangerous: The Double Album breaks a Billboard 200 top 10 longevity record.
