episode 14: Pop Shop Podcast 8/28/14: Taylor Swift Hits No. 1, Nicki Minaj, Wiz Khalifa, Ariana Grande
On this week's podcast, Jason and Keith break down Taylor Swift's triumphant No. 1 debut on the Hot 100 chart: how "Shake It Off" made it happen, why debuting atop the Hot 100 chart is so rare, and whether or not the single's run at No. 1 can continue for multiple weeks. Meanwhile, Nicki Minaj's "Anaconda" has slithered to No. 2 on the Hot 100 -- can the single reach the heights of "Super Bass" or "Starships"? The guys also discuss Wiz Khalifa's No. 1 album debut and his track record as a hit-maker (as well as a giant blunt-roller), and forecast Ariana Grande's sales for the first week of My Everything.
