With all 31 tracks debuting in the Top 50 of our Streaming Songs chart—six of them logging 40m+ streams—Taylor Swift's THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT has set a new record for most streams in a week.
Taylor and her DEPARTMENT are off the launchpad and generating out-of-this-world numbers. Her supernova is emblematic of a remarkable year in the music biz, as Hozier rockets to #1, country stars—and Nickelback—shine in the desert night, Myke Towers prepares to add his name to the Latin-music galaxy and Roppo is manning mission control.
Eminem—who opened the 2024 NFL Draft in Motor City—is due to drop The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce) this summer.
If you’re sick of our being in the desert, sorry not sorry because we’re back for our third and final week this month as Stagecoach hits the Empire Polo Field 4/26-28. Here’s a sampling of some of the must-see sets and must-be places of the weekend.
This weekend the Empire Polo Field will host the Stagecoach Music Festival, which will feature a fun-filled weekend of country-flavored vibes.
While Taylor Swift largely dominates the charts at the moment, don't let the positioning fool you. Tracks by Hozier, Artemas, Sabrina Carpenter, Future & Metro, Benson Boone, Sexyy Red and Chappell Roan are still on fire.
Surely against his better judgment, Clive Davis allowed HITS into his home for a genial chat on a rainy spring morning in New York, just hours before his 92nd birthday.
Hozier’s “Too Sweet” completes its ascent to #1 on the Song Revenue Chart, taking in $155k, while HITS cover stars Future & Metro Boomin land eight tracks from their two collabs for a total north of $500k. Hozier and Future’s share of the take help give Sony the market-share lead with 39% of the Top 50.
Andra Day, Ravyn Lenae, Shinedown and The War and Treaty will perform at the inaugural Grammy Hall of Fame gala on 5/21 at the Novo Theater in L.A.
