On the Billboard Pop Shop Podcast, Katie & Keith are talking about what led to the breakout hits "Lose Control" by Teddy Swims and "Beautiful Things" by Benson Boone, and what could be next. They chat about if we should look to last year’s explosion of male country hits in the upper regions of the Hot 100 (Luke Combs, Zach Bryan, Oliver Anthony, among others) or even go back to the 2000s and 2010s to find pop-rock hits from Gavin DeGraw or Ray LaMontagne.
