Billboard’s First Stream serves as a handy guide to this Friday’s most essential releases — the key music that everyone will be talking about today, and that will be dominating playlists this weekend and beyond.This week, Fiona Apple returns when we need her most, Sam Smith and Demi Lovato are “ready” to take over pop radio, and DaBaby can’t stop and won’t stop.
