BATTERIES NOT INCLUDED

YG Ent/Interscope's BLACKPINK broke the record for the biggest music video debut ever on YouTube when "Kill This Love" scored 56.7m+ views in its first 24 hours out.

Jade Bird's newest single, "I Get No Joy" (Glassnote), has already gone Top 15 at Triple A radio and Top 5 Americana as her album nears and her total artist streams surpass 100m.

Meanwhile, new Arista duo Smith & Thell is Top 30 and climbing at Alternative and AAA radio with their debut single, "Forgive Me Friend."
