CRACKING THE CODE The co-writer-producer of the moment, in his own words (12/12a)

NOW WHAT?
We have no fucking idea.
COUNTRY'S NEWEST DISRUPTOR
Three chords and some truth you may not be ready for.
AI IS ALREADY EATING YOUR LUNCH
The kids can tell the difference... for now.
WHO'S BUYING THE DRINKS?
That's what we'd like to know.

Peter Gray and the Columbia crew claim the #1 spot on the add board this week, picking up 144 adds on Lil Nas X’s "STAR WALKIN’" just days after release. Major kudos to Capitol's Greg Marella and team for bringing 130+ stations and putting 108 official adds on Sam Smith & Kim Petras’ "Unholy," which also dropped a few days ago; the squad’s nimble response is a textbook example of striking while the iron is hot. Warner comes in with 30 additional adds on David Guetta & Bebe Rexha’s "I'm Good (Blue)" (Parlophone UK), while Interscope stacks another 24 adds on BLACKPINK’s "Pink Venom” (YG Entertainment) and Def Jam scores 20 more stations on Armani White’s "BILLIE EILISH." (Legendbound). Capitol's second entry in the Top 10 is Lewis Capaldi’s "Forget Me," which grabs 18 adds. Republic puts another 17 adds on The Weeknd’s "Die for You" (XO) and In2une closes out the Top 10 Most Added with 13 adds on JVKE’s "golden hour" (JVKE/AWAL).
