ON THE COVER:
AARON BAY-SCHUCK
AND TOM CORSON

The co-heads of a red-hot and fully resurgent Warner Records grace the cover of this issue, having also granted us—likely to their eternal regret—an in-depth interview. As you probably know, Aaron and Tom have been enjoying enormous chart success with Zach Bryan, Benson Boone and Teddy Swims; they also have a new Dua Lipa album on the way and are now hard at work breaking several other acts, including Michael Marcagi and Dasha. They’re pictured, in this compelling photo, at the label’s lavish L.A. HQ, at which we are most assuredly unwelcome.
