DOWNTOWN'S BEST FOR HORAN

Remember how we told you Niall Horan was published through his own company? Well, Downtown Music Publishing has put an end to that, inking the former One Directioner and current Capitol solo artist for a multi-territory pub deal. The announcement is timely, as Horan’s single “Slow Hands” has been getting its hands all over the place.

The news also comes in the wake of Downtown’s splashy deal with smash tunesmith/artist Ryan Tedder.
