Billboard takes you inside the ‘Barbie’ listening party. Doja Cat took to Twitter to show disdain for her fans taking on the nickname “Kittenz.” Jung Kook and Latto’s new track ‘Seven’ debuts at No. 1 of the Hot 100, as country music continues to take over the charts with Jason Aldean, Morgan Wallen and Luke Combs taking spots in the top 5. And more!

Welcome to another Monday here at Billboard News. It’s July 24th. I’m Tetris Kelly. And I’m a little tired from the epic ‘Barbie’ party I went to yesterday, so let me tell you all about it.

From a record-breaking box office weekend to a bombastic soundtrack that’s got everybody ready to dance and celebrate. Come on, Barbie, let’s go party. I’m Tetris Kelly with Billboard News here at SoHo House in Los Angeles. And we’re telling you everything you need to know about Barbie weekend. Warner Bros.’ Barbie blasts into the box office top spot with a massive $155 million in domestic ticket sales, making it the year’s biggest opening, surpassing the Super Mario Bros. movie as well as every Marvel movie this year. It also broke the first-weekend record for a film directed by a woman. And what’s a movie without its soundtrack? Nicki Minaj and Ice Spice lay down the lyrics for “Barbie World.” Dua Lipa had Margot Robbie on her feet with “Dance the Night,” while Billie Eilish had us in our feels.

And I’m obsessed with the Janet Jackson sample on FIFTY FIFTY’s “Barbie Dream.” It was the perfect backdrop for a pool party with themed cocktails and of course Barbies, celebrating everything epic and pink this weekend. We had so much fun. For everything you need to know about the Barbie soundtrack and the ‘Barbie’ movie head to Billboard.com. For Billboard News, I’m Tetris Kelly.
