Kemosabe/RCA's Doja Cat has settled into a four-day run atop Spotify U.S. with "Paint the Town Red," the highest-charting rap song ever on the platform by a female solo artist. It surged to #3 at Apple Music this week and is exploding on TikTok. Meanwhile, the artist is teasing the 9/1 arrival of another release, the content of which remains to be seen.

In a Harper's Bazaar cover story, Doja Cat revealed that her forthcoming album is titled Scarlet, as is her arena tour, which begins 10/31 in San Francisco.

The hitmaker is up for five MTV VMAs, including Artist of the Year and Video of the Year for "Attention." The show will air 9/12 on MTV and stream on Paramount+. She's also booked to perform at the upcoming "Victoria's Secret World Tour," which will be available to stream 9/26 on Prime Video.
