ALL THE WAY LIVE
The players, the tours, the enormous beers.
1
ROSÉ: The new Atlantic meets Atlantic G (for Gelareh) as BLACKPINK star’s propulsive duet with Bruno streams through the roof. How “APT.”
2
LADY GAGA: Interscope megastar, whose “Smile” lingers in upper reaches of DSP charts, prepares to unleash Watt/Cirkut-helmed “Disease.” Sounds infectious.
3
BRUNO MARS: Atlantic giant is the year’s MVP collaborator as his ROSÉ, Gaga duets rule the streaming charts. Who else has a mission to Mars?
4
TYLER, THE CREATOR: Columbia (WME) rap innovator drops new CHROMAKOPIA set ahead of AEG-promoted tour as Camp Flog Gnaw sells out. If you miss out, you’ll be a-“NOID.”
5
JIM ROPPO: REPUBLIC Corps Collective general must be a Yankees fan as he calls the pitches in an undefeated season. Of course, a killer lineup doesn’t hurt.
6
COLUMBIA: Ron, Jen and team generating heat with Tyler, JENNIE, Addison Rae, Halsey, more. Big Red is cooking.
7
YEAT: Field Trip/Capitol rapper on the March to #1 as Tower-Interscope team savors a pleasing LYFESTYLE.
8
GRATEFUL DEAD: Legendary Activist-repped band will be MusiCares 2025 Person of the Year. Nice to see them getting their flowers, which may be Scarlet Begonias.
9
CARLOS VIVES: Latin Grammy Person of the Year honor is a fabulous milestone in star’s decades-long career—and a full-circle moment for WK boss Walter Kolm, who launched his management career with Vives as his first client. ¡Viva Vives!
10
DAVID STROMBERG: With Travis’ triumphant cycle winding down, wily manager now said to be in Kanye’s ear—possibly putting Unmanageable’s name to the test.
