HITS' HIGH FIVE: ENVELOPE OPENING 101

Between wrong envelopes at the Oscars and Mike Pence’s hacked AOL account, which we hear he subscribed to after his last carrier pigeon died, we’re extra careful in unveiling this week’s HITS High Five so as to not hand readers an errant link.

The past week has seen:

Spotify hit 50m subscribers, which represents more than 60% of the streaming marketplace. Meanwhile, Amazon Music’s marketshare has risen 2% over the last six months.

Lava/Republic's Lorde  dropped a new single, "Green Light," which promptly went to #3 at iTunes.

Variety owner Jay Penske may be looking to acquire The Hollywood Reporter and Billboard to add to his entertainment media empire.

MCA Nashville's Sam Hunt and other male artists are dominating our top streaming country songs chart.

With an IPO that was up $7 per share on its first sale on the New York Stock Exchange, Snap made billionaires out of its co-founders and lined the pockets of investors.
