Broadcast: Radio FM 94.5 (12:20-14:00) Proceed: Cho Hyun-ji Announcer Talk: Jung Min-jae Popular Music Critics
Billboards Music Awards, from BTS to Mariah Carey and Madonna
I left my place for a while yesterday on the 11th anniversary of the radio opening, and I thought that he was waiting for the schedule on Tuesday because he was expecting it, and he thought it was only Park Hae-il. !The human wave of popular Music critics! A wave of men! Jung Min-jae, with a pop critic.
Cho Hyun-ji announcer (hereinafter referred to as Cho Hyun-ji): Hello, we have been giving news of our idol groups' overseas activities such as BTS and Black Pink every time we start broadcasting for the past few weeks. Is there any good news today?
Jung Min-jae, a pop Music critic (hereinafter referred to as Jung Min-jae): Yes, both teams are still doing well. First of all, Black Pink is on the Billboards Hot 100 chart this week and is ranked for the first time in the girl group for three consecutive weeks. This team's song 'Kill This Love' is not just a week of sparkling attention, but it is causing steady demand in its own way. BTS ranked third on the Billboards album chart, which topped the list last week, and it was the top three for two consecutive weeks, and the album sold quite a lot.
Cho Hyeon-ji: I'm looking forward to hearing the good news again and again, and as BTS said last week, they will be attending the American Music Awards tomorrow, as I did.
Jung Min-jae: That's right: BTS will attend the 2019 Billboards Music Awards, which will be held on Wednesday evening local time as our time, and Thursday morning as our time. It is a Music Awards ceremony hosted by Billboards Magazine, which announces the Billboards chart, and it is the third time BTS has attended this year.
Cho Hyeon-ji: It was hard to imagine a Korean singer officially attending an American Music Awards ceremony in the past, but I'm surprised it was already the third time she did. You briefly introduced it as an Awards hosted by the Billboards chart, and I wonder how much it is in the United States.
Jung Min-jae: There are several Music Awards in the U.S., but there are awards ceremonies that are often called the Big Three. First of all, there is a Grammy Awards that boasts history, tradition, and authority, and an old American Music Awards. The Billboards Music Awards started in 1990, relatively recent compared to the two, but it did not open from 2006 to 2011. Nevertheless, it is recognized as a big Awards.
Cho Hyeon-ji: Why is there such a long history, such as a break in the middle, and the Billboards Music Awards having a high profile?
Jung Min-jae: The Billboards Music Awards are an Awards hosted by the Billboards charts, and they decide winners based on the Billboards charts. It's not like the Grammy Awards, where the judges' evaluations determine the award. In a word, it has a different meaning from the Grammy Awards ceremony, which is based on the workability in terms of confirming the popular singer who charted the chart that year.
Cho Hyeon-ji: So the current pop singers will be on the job this year.
Jung Min-jae: Yes. So today, I will introduce the main candidates and attendees of the Billboards Music Awards held on the 2nd, and I will introduce one of the most noteworthy stages at the Awards tomorrow.
Cho Hyeon-ji: BTS?
Jung Min-jae: BTS is expected, of course, but Taylor Swift is the biggest singer in the world's pop market as well as the United States. I released a new song in about a year and a half, and the first stage is released at the Billboards Music Awards. I'm on the opening stage, and I assign the most notable stage to the opening ceremony in the United States. Taylor Swift will open the ceremony with the song 'ME!', which was performed by American popular band Panic at the Disco vocalist Brandon Yuri.
Cho Hyeon-ji: It's the song that's getting the most attention in America. Shall we hear it for a second? Taylor Swift's ME!' Listen.
M. 'ME!'/ Taylor Swift
Cho Hyun-ji: Taylor Swift's song 'ME!' I've heard it short. The song is bright and cheerful.
Jung Min-jae: Yes, it would also fit well with the opening of the Awards. Starting with Taylor Swift's stage, the Awards will be held in earnest. The biggest prize of the Billboards Music Awards is the top artist award. You can translate it to the best singer award, and there are the best singer award for one person in all men and women, the best male singer award, the best female singer award, the best album, and the best song award.
Cho Hyeon-ji: Right. Which Music is going for the big part of this year's awards?
Jung Min-jae: As I've been looking at all the candidates of the year, I've once again felt that this is obviously the age of hip-hop, and almost all the candidates in the major categories are hip-hop singers. Four out of five hip-hop singers in the top-performing artists category and four out of five in the top-performing artists category are hip-hop. Of the top female artists, only one in five rappers are singers, and two out of the other four are singers who play R & B Music, which is dominated by hip-hop. In addition, all five of the best album candidates include hip-hop, four of the top five songs are hip-hop, and the other one is also rap.
Cho Hyeon-ji: That's how popular hip-hop is at the moment, so why don't we listen to one of them?
Jung Min-jae: Yes, the song I personally heard was a song by a female rapper called Cardi Vi, called 'I Like It', a unique hip-hop song with a taste of Latin genre. It's a song sampled from Pete Rodriguez's song 'I Like It Like That' in 1967, but the chorus of the original song is so exciting and it's well in your ears, so hip-hop, but it's not so hard.
Cho Hyeon-ji: Listen to Cardibi's song 'I Like It'.
M. 'I Like It' / Cardi B
Cho Hyeon-ji: I've heard about the overall division, and you can also tell us about the categories that BTS has been nominated for.
Jung Min-jae: BTS has been nominated for two categories, top social artists and top duo & group. The top social artist category is social media, and we are often called SNS, which is awarded to singers who are especially popular on SNS and the Internet. And here's our group Exo and Godseven, which are also nominated: one of the two categories that is decided by the fans' vote, and BTS won this award in 2017 and 2018. The top duo & group category is literally awarded to a team that has performed well as a duo or group, and it is the first time a non-English singer has been nominated for this category.
Cho Hyeon-ji: Do you expect a BTS award?
Jung Min-jae: For now, top social artists see a very high chance of winning, and the top duo & group category has a lot of competitors such as Imagine Dragons, Maroon Five, Panic at the Disco, so I think we should watch a little.
Cho Hyeon-ji: Let's look forward to some good results.What if there is a performance that should be noted at this Awards?
Jung Min-jae: First, BTS will perform the 'Poetry for Small Things' stage with Halsey for the first time. American popular singer Halsey appeared in the Music video directly, but it is the first time to share the stage. So I'm looking forward to it, Ariana Grande, Panic at the Disco, and the stage of the most popular singers is expected to entertain the audience.
Cho Hyeon-ji: Is there any concert by a little more familiar singers to our listeners?
Jung Min-jae: Yes, there are also staged legends of the times at this Awards, with pop queen Madonna making her first new stage and dance diva Paula Abdul of the 90s performing a hit medley. Many people are going to be happy to see you, and Diva Mariah Carey, who embroidered the 1990s, receives the icon award. With this award, Mariah Carey will sing the 1995 hit song 'Always Be My Baby' with a new song released last year.
Cho Hyun-ji: So Mariah Carey has been working steadily for nearly 30 years, so it's not awkward to get an achievement award. Today, I've been looking for candidates and performers for the upcoming Billboards Music Awards in America. What song should we say hello to?
Jung Min-jae: One of the most notable performers at this ceremony is Madonna. I heard about Madonna's comeback a few weeks ago, and tomorrow's Awards said that she will perform a new song with state-of-the-art hologram equipment. Colombian popular male singer Maluma participated in the feature, and the title is Medellín, which is called the second city of Colombia. It is a Cha Cha style Music, so I think you can listen to it comfortably and comfortably.
Cho: Yes, I'll say hello to the critic Jung Min-jae while listening to Madonna's 'medellin'. Thank you.
