HITS' HIGH FIVE: GREEN IS IN THIS FALL

You made it through the first post-summer, full week of work. In case you over did it while ordering take-out, here's the HITS High Five, your handy roundup of the week’s big stories.

Pandora made news throughout the week, launching a new $4.99 service, striking a licensing deal with WMG and, per insiders, advances Pandora and Amazon are paying are record highs.

Bruno Mars, The Weeknd and a visual album from Drake are among the Big Guns of Q4.

Streaming revenue once again outpaced sales revenue on our weekly Revenue Chart, where “Closer” from Columbia’s The Chainsmokers f/Halsey once again reins.

Interscope's Lady Gaga's has provided the name of her new album, Joanne, which will drop on 10/21.

Bonus item: HITS' 30th Anniversary Issue is here, and again, we can't apologize enough.
