It was fitting for Janet Jackson and Jennifer Lopez to hit the stage at Monday’s American Music Awards at Las Vegas’ Fontainebleau, since both have found a second home in Sin City.
Jackson has a current residency at Resorts World, which kicked off in December and has dates scheduled through September. Lopez is returning to Vegas for a new residency at the end of this year, this time at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace, starting Dec. 30 with dates through next March.
On the new Billboard Pop Shop Podcast, Katie & Keith are talking all about the two legends at the 2025 AMAs — Jackson for a performance and to receive the ICON Award and Lopez to host and perform — and what it’s like to see them perform live for their own shows. Listen to the new episode below:
Also on the show, we’ve got chart news on how Morgan Wallen debuts at No. 1 on both the Billboard 200 albums chart and Billboard Hot 100 songs chart — and brings a certain featured pop artist to their first No. 1 on the Hot 100. Plus, if Wallen’s album had not come out, could Alex Warren have hit No. 1 on the Hot 100 for the first time with “Ordinary”?
