Pop stars Sabrina Carpenter and Bad Bunny each won their first Emmy Awards over the weekend, with Carpenter recognised as a producer and performer on Disney+'s The Muppet Show special, and Bad Bunny honoured for his role as producer and performer at his 2026 Super Bowl halftime show. The wins mean both artists, already Grammy winners, now have two of the four EGOT (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, Tony) categories under their belts, prompting speculation about whether either could go on to complete the rare achievement.

The news was discussed on Billboard's Pop Shop Podcast, where hosts Katie Atkinson and Keith Caulfield explored possible routes each star might take towards an Oscar or Tony. The same episode also covered current chart news, including Rod Wave's fourth number one album on the Billboard 200 with Don't Look Down, Alex Warren's career-best number two debut with WILDCHILD, and Ella Langley closing in on Mariah Carey's record for most weeks at number one on the Hot 100 with "Choosin' Texas".
