Soundcheck: The 13 Best Music Releases Of The Week

Megan Thee Stallion, aka Hot Girl Meg, is in the process of trademarking"Hot Girl Summer," and it's about time. The term, coined by Meg, has recently been co-opted by brands looking to capitalize on the singular good thing on the internet.

Back on July 10, Meg confirmed to a fan on Twitter that the trademark of her viral phrase was"in the process." According to a new report by Billboard, the trademark application was filed on the same day. If approved, the trademark will reportedly cover apparel such as"hoodies, T-shirts, and sportswear."

As we all have done our best to live our best lives all Hot Girl Summer long, brands have tried to appear trendy by using the phrase in promotional materials. Forever 21, Wendy's, and Maybelline are just some of the brands that tried to make money off of the Hot Girl Summer craze without crediting or compensating Meg.

The 2019 MTV Video Music Awards nominations are in. Seasoned pop stars Ariana Grande and Taylor Swift are naturally leading this year's nomination pool with 10 nods each, and going head-to-head in multiple categories, including Video and Song of the Year. Billie Eilish, who isn't as seasoned but has built up a sturdy body of work, is right behind with nine nominations this year.

Miley Cyrus' 'Breakout,' Released When She Was 16, Might Still Be Her Best Album: Critic's TakeIf any artist swings counter to the idea that narrative is everything, it’s Miley Cyrus. Poised to release her sixth full-length, Younger Now, at the end of this week (Sept. 29) -- after multiple changes of musical identity at just 24 -- she hasn’t necessarily made her best albums during the height of her making headlines. I think Younger Now is her best album, but Breakout is definitely second. (It is) And we can't stop,and we won't stop.
