Tetris Kelly: Hey, what’s up? And welcome to The Hot 100 Show. I’m your host, Tetris Kelly, and we have a crazy show today. Alex Warren is here, and we got a live studio audience. But before we get into all the fun, let’s run it down with your Hot 100 top 10. This is the Billboard Hot 100 top 10 for the week dated Oct. 11. Down to 10 is “Your Idol.”

Jerah Milligan: Have you seen any, or heard any of the songs from KPop Demon Hunters?

Fan 1: I have not. I have a couple. I’ve heard people talk about it. I’m not. I haven’t heard anything from it. I haven’t seen the show or anything like that. 

Jerah Milligan: Man, listen, you’re missing joy. Like when you watch it, it’s like they’re eating things. They’re fighting demons. There’s demon boy bands.

Fan 1: I’ll try it out.

Tetris Kelly: “Love Me Not” is steady at nine.

Fan 2: She’s so dope. And, like, I knew the name, and I think I had, like, heard a couple songs, and then I went to go see her. She like, blew me away. I feel like since then, I’ve just been listening to her music a bunch. She’s super talented, and I feel like she’s like, one of those artists that’s like, very like, established right now, but has the potential to, like, pop into like, a really, really big, massive artist.

Tetris Kelly: Morgan returns to the top 10 with “I Got Better.” That was numbers 10 through eight. We’re gonna get to the rest of the chart, but before we do, I got a very special guest to bring out. Ladies and gentlemen, Alex Warren.
