02:34 Country music has also caused quite the controversy
02:37 on the charts recently.
02:38 Have you ever thought about what Billboard number ones
02:41 are the most controversial?
02:42 Today, we break it down.
02:44 - From Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion,
02:46 to Katy Perry, to Robin Thicke,
02:48 and many more before them,
02:49 controversy has always been a part of music.
02:52 With two controversial number one hits
02:54 on the Billboard Hot 100 this summer,
02:56 Jason Aldean's "Try That in a Small Town,"
02:58 and Oliver Anthony music, "Rich Men North of Richmond,"
03:01 let's look back at a few of the chart toppers
03:03 that have stirred up the most controversy.
03:05 ♪ Waiting for you just to find my love ♪
03:10 Madonna's career is no stranger to controversy,
03:14 but it was her 1991 hit "Justify My Love"
03:17 that got the singer's music video banned from MTV
03:20 for images of sadomasochism, voyeurism, and bisexuality.
03:24 ♪ Hit me baby one more time ♪
03:27 In November of 1998,
03:28 the world was introduced to a 16-year-old Britney Spears,
03:32 who came out of the gate
03:33 with her controversial smash "Baby One More Time."
03:36 The erotically charged lyrics were considered too mature
03:38 for a teen pop star at the time,
03:40 but that did not stop the princess of pop
03:42 from reaching number one.
03:44 ♪ Call me when you want ♪
03:45 ♪ Call me when you need ♪
03:47 ♪ Call me in the morning ♪
03:48 ♪ I'll be on the way ♪
03:49 Following his record-setting run at number one
03:51 on the Hot 100 with "Old Town Road,"
03:53 Lil Nas X brought the controversy
03:54 with his sexually charged song and provocative video
03:57 for "Montero," "Call Me By Your Name,"
04:00 when he gave the devil a lap dance.
04:02 And those are just a few controversial number one hits
04:05 from the Hot 100.

04:08 - And I'm sure budding AGT talent
04:11 want to end up on the charts one day.
04:14 And with vocals like this, it's gotta be possible.
04:17 ♪ But I stay ♪
04:19 Poutri Ariyani left everyone speechless
04:24 with her U2 cover on AGT.
04:27 On Tuesday night's live qualifier for America's Got Talent,
04:30 Poutri Ariyani delivered another lesson in talent
04:33 when she sang "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For"
04:36 from U2's Joshua Tree album.
04:38 ♪ Can't rip the cross ♪
04:42 ♪ Out of my shape ♪
04:45 The moment left Simon Cowell speechless
04:47 and the judge telling the singer.
04:49 - This is why I still do this job
04:51 for moments like this, genuinely.
04:53 - Simon also noted that U2 personally cleared the song
04:56 for Poutri.
04:57 - Because they saw her audition
05:00 and they knew how much this would mean to her.
05:02 - Billboard employees around here love Noah Kahan.
05:05 And even they found out some new things about him.
05:08 Check it out.
05:09 - I'm Noah Kahan and these are five things
05:11 that you don't know about me,
05:12 unless you're a weird weirdo who knows all these things,
05:15 in which case, leave me alone.
05:16 (upbeat music)
05:19 The first is that I can speak Spanish.
05:22 I lived in Costa Rica for a little bit of time
05:25 in high school and I used to be fluent.
05:27 I'm conversational now.
05:28 The second is I have really bad acid reflux,
05:31 which should not come as a surprise, but it's still true.
05:34 The third thing is that I eat sunflower seeds
05:37 with the shells on and they have sent me to the hospital.
05:39 It's simply the best way to eat them
05:41 and I will not hear any arguments to the contrary.
05:44 The fourth thing is that I wore Merrells
05:45 until I was in the third or fourth grade,
05:47 so I didn't know how to tie my shoes
05:48 and I still don't know how to really do it.
05:50 And every time I tie my shoes,
05:52 I don't do it like whatever bunny through the tree
05:54 or whatever, it just never works the right way.
05:57 It's embarrassing and I don't wanna talk about it anymore,
05:59 so stop asking me about it.
06:00 The fifth thing is that I've seen every episode
06:02 of Below Deck that's been made at least one time
06:05 and I'm obsessed with Captain Lee
06:07 to the point where like I'm trying to find out
06:09 where he lives type shit.
06:10 Like I love Captain Lee so much, so thank you Captain.
06:13 - That's today's show, come back tomorrow
06:16 for all the new music like Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion.
06:19 I'm Tetris Kelly and this is Billboard News.
