Niall Horan’s new song 'Science' steps up the Billboard’s Hot Trending Songs chart ahead of its premiere as part of the One Direction member’s new album, 'The Show'. With the help of Twitter, Billboard tracks worldwide music-related trends and conversations in real-time. Trends can be viewed over the previous 24 hours or last 7 days. Each Tuesday, along with Billboard's other weekly charts, a 20-position edition of the chart covering activity from Friday through Thursday of each week is posted on the site. Up until last week, no one had heard the entirety of 'Science,' the ninth song on 'The Show'. However, a quick teaser of Horan singing the song on social media generated buzz before the single's official release. Following the No. 20 debut of 'Heaven' in March, this is Horan's first Hot Trending Songs No. 1 and his second appearance on the charts. 'Must Be Love' from the album enters the chart at No. 5.

Over the weekend, Kelly Clarkson organised two distinct a cappella flash mobs to play songs from her upcoming album 'Chemistry' in front of a small gathering of Los Angeles shoppers. In the footage uploaded to Instagram, Clarkson can be seen singing with a group in a Blue Bottle Coffee shop and shocking the customers with a powerful rendition of her 'Chemistry' hit, 'Me.' After the performance, the Grammy winner joked with the barista and said, "I would like a vanilla latte." The people at the nearby stores applauded as Clarkson and the group of singers sang their most recent track, 'Favourite Kind of High,' outside in the courtyard. “This was so fun, y’all! [laughing emoji] I got together with a bunch of amazing singers and flash mobbed people in LA,” Clarkson wrote in the caption.

In the midst of Pride Month, Sam Smith and Madonna's 'Vulgar' is voted the best new song of the week.

With more than 45% of the votes, 'Vulgar' triumphed over new songs from BTS, Niall Horan, Rosalía and other artists. The club-ready song, which was released  by Capitol Records, features Smith stating that "you know you're beautiful when they call you 'vulgar.'"
