And we’re off! It was a huge first add week with lots of new product and major action coming out the holidays instead of the normal slow move into the year! Here we go, 2023.

Impressive! Both tracks have charted and look Top 25 bound.

“I started spiking ‘Nobody Gets Me’ over the holiday even before I had spent any time with ‘Kill Bill,’ but with both records streaming nearly 40m combined (29m+ for ‘Kill Bill’ alone) how do you not add them both? This will be a pop breakout year for SZA!” Said KDWB PD, Rich Davis.
