- (FBE) Today, we are gonna see how well you know recent popular music.
- Okay, I think I'm gonna be in big trouble.
- Oh boy, I think, uh, you got me on that one.
- I listen to music a lot, but I don't know what level of popular.
Like, I just went to the Bon Iver concert.
- My daughter's heavy into K-pop.
I listen to that every now and then when she puts it on for me.
- I'm not good with recent popular music
because, like, what I deem as popular
is not what's probably the most popular.

But I know it because Walk Off the Earth did it.

- (FBE) So this is "Closer" by The Chainsmokers.
- Ah, with Sia, right? Or--?
- (FBE) Featuring Halsey.
- Halsey, okay, I'm sorry.
- I am not familiar with that. I haven't heard their names.
- Dang it! Okay. Oh, I knew the Halsey part.
I didn't know The Chainsmokers.
- Ah! That was just on the radio the other day.
- I like it.
I mean, I didn't listen to the lyrics
enough to know if there's gonna be anything gross,
but I like the sentiment of it.

there was only one on the shelf at Best Buy.
See, I still buy CDs.

It's like one of my favorite top bands.
- At the risk of losing my child, I'd have to say I love them.

- "For Free," Drake.
- (FBE) So this is "For Free" by DJ Khaled,
featuring Drake. - When it doubt, say Drake.
I would have gotten it.
- I know who DJ Khaled is. He's in some commercial for juice.
And I know Drake because he's, like, a bandwagon
to whoever's winning.
- (FBE) DJ Khaled has an incredibly popular Snapchat.
His videos attract three to four million viewers each.
This means more millenials watch his Snapchats
than they watch The Big Bang Theory. - Wow!
That is freaking awesome.
- That's the way it should be.
It should be about the idea, not the budget.
- Whenever I need some kind of encouragement,
or an uplifting message, or maybe just to laugh... (laughing)
I will always watch his snaps.
They always make me feel good.

I feel like-- didn't she take a hiatus for a while?
- (FBE) So this is Gaga's first single in three years.
- Gosh, has it been three years? Really? I feel like she just never left.
- (FBE) She spent some of that time recording an album
and touring with Tony Bennett. - That's right.
Yeah, I did hear some of the duet stuff they did.
I really liked that music.
- That shows how dynamic she is though.
To go from wearing a meat suit to singing with Tony Bennett.
- I wouldn't have thought of that combination,
but it's her voice is just epic
and they just complimented each other so well.
