Reaching another unprecedented milestone, The Weeknd has made history as “the first artist to reach 100 million monthly listeners on Spotify.” As of today, he scored the biggest monthly listener count ever on the platform with 100.4 million. This enshrines him as the #1 artist in the world on Spotify. Meanwhile, his mega-smash “Blinding Lights” remains the DSP’s “most streamed song of all time” with 3.4 billion streams and counting.
His recent Remix of “Die For You” with Ariana Grande also continues to put up numbers with 23.2 million Spotify streams in under a week’s time. The collaboration landed in the wake of the single’s staggering resurgence where it has completed “the longest climb to #1 in U.S. radio history,” It has also clinched #1 on the Billboard Radio Songs Chart for two weeks and has been on the Billboard Hot 100 for all of 2023, recently vaulting into the Top 10, serving as his 16Th Top 10 entry on the respective chart. The record also broke into the Top 20 of the BillboardGlobal 200, scoring his 15Th Top 20 in the process.
Fans were given a sneak peek of the collaboration through Ariana’s tik-tok account where she posted herself working on the vocals stating that she wrote and recorded a verse for one of her friends after a 14-hour day on the set of the upcoming Jon M. Chu film WICKED.
The Weeknd’s anticipated Live at SoFi Stadium special just premiered on HBO. He will also be starring in his new television show, The Idol, (date tba) on HBO alongside Lily-Rose Depp which he wrote and executive produced with Reza Fahim and Sam Levinson.

Buzzworthy indie rock artist Michigander, the sonic alter ego of Michigan native Jason Singer, will be heading out on a 21-date spring headlining tour in support of his fourth EP, It Will Never Be The Same, out later this month. Singer and his bandmates – Aaron Senor (drums), Jake LeMond (guitar), and Connor Robertson (bass) – will bring their energetic live show across the country on the It Will Never Be The Same Tour featuring special guest Abby Holliday, which stops locally in Detroit on Saturday, April 15 at St. Andrew’s Hall. PRESS HERE for ticketing information.
It Will Never Be The Same, due out March 31st via C3 Records, features the new single “Superglue,” along with current radio hit “Stay Out Of It,” which peaked at #5 at Triple A radio, as well as “In My Head” with Manchester Orchestra and “The Other Way.” The 6-song collection, produced and mixed by Tony Hoffer (Beck, Phoenix, M83), mastered by Dave Cooley (Spoon, Jimmy Eat World, Paramore),and recorded at L.A.’s Sunset Sound (with the exception of “In My Head” produced by Andy Hull and Robert McDowell of Manchester Orchestra), marks a creative transformation for Singer. The now Nashville-based singer, songwriter, producer, and guitarist worked with co-writers for the first time in the studio such as Shawn McConnell (Tim McGraw, Little Big Town, Brad Paisley), Danen Reed Rector (Charlotte Sands, James Droll), and Chris Carrabba (Dashboard Confessional). These transitions are evident on It Will Never Be The Same through songs that ruminate on the trials of early adulthood and, stamped with Michigander’s trademark optimism, offer encouragement to take a sometimes necessary leap of faith for the sake of moving forward. PRESS HERE to watch the official music video for“Superglue,” which documents the brutal leg break Singer suffered while filming the music video back in the fall, ultimately delaying the release of the EP and his headlining tour.
Michigander, who delivers elevated and eloquent songcraft, uplifting instrumentation, and plainspoken heartland storytelling punctuated by alternative flare, has racked up over 60 million career streams globally and garnered the acclaim of NPR, Paste, Consequence, SPIN, Forbes, BrooklynVegan, Guitar World, and many more. In 2016, his independent debut single “Nineties” achieved viral success, claiming real estate on multiple major Spotify playlists. Michigander’s first two EPs, Midland [2018] and Where Do We Go From Here [2019], have become fan favorites, with the latter’s standout single “Misery” eclipsing 10 million streams and earning Michigander his first Triple A radio hit. 2021’s critically lauded EP Everything Will Be Ok Eventually (C3 Records) elevated his career via the Top 5 Triple A radio hit “Let Down” and Top 10 Triple A radio hit “Better.” On the road, Michigander has shared the stage with Manchester Orchestra, Band of Horses, The Lumineers, Hippo Campus, Mt. Joy, and graced the stages of such marquee festivals as Lollapalooza, Electric Forest, Summerfest, Shaky Knees and more. In 2023, Singer leaves one chapter in the rearview and turns the page on another. After putting his musical life on pause to focus on rehabilitation and returning to his feet, Michigander is back, breaking personal records, including 1 million monthly listeners on Spotify, charting at radio again, and ready to return to the road with a new set of songs and a re-energized passion for his craft.
Pussy Riot and Boyfriend’s "Dance With the Devil" is a debaucherous offering that fuses rock, dance and hyperpop into a lustful anthem. This pairing stands at the forefront of counterculture and reclaiming what womxn are owed. "Dance With the Devil"’s video is premiered by PAPER Magazine today HERE.
As expected, the fans can see a depraved masterpiece co-directed by Pussy Riot creator Nadya Tolokonnikova and visual artist Yulia Shur. The video sees Boyfriend appearing opposite Tolokonnikova and features legendary model/performance artist Amanda Lepore.
“I had a Devilish time working with Boyfriend and Pussy Riot on this video! <3” says Amanda Lepore. The co-director Yulia Shur told PAPER Magazine: “What a hot, wild, disturbing and beautifully grotesque thing we’ve birthed into existence! It's one hell of a dance and you are invited.”
Nadya adds: “I believe that Virgin Mary was a feminist, and if she lived today, she'd be making music with Boyfriend and Pussy Riot. We've co-created this piece with two of my dearest friends, both incredibly strong, dedicated and vocal female artists, Boyfriend and Yulia Shur, and isn't it everyone's dream to work with your best friends on something that excites you deeply?”
"I grew up believing in the Devil," says Boyfriend. "Try as they might to depict him as evil, my main takeaway was that he lived in the land of cigarettes and sex...he drank red wine, gambled, had a choir of electric guitars and was the keeper of the orgasm. This song is an invitation to the Devil's party, where indulgence isn't a sin and temptation isn't a threat. It's also an inversion of the patriarchal depictions of Satan... if God is a woman, so is the Devil, and she's way more fun to hang with."

Fall Out Boy Announces So Much For (Tour) Dust
25+ Date North American Summer Tour Kicks Off June 21 at Wrigley Field
New Album So Much (For) Stardust Arrives March 24
GRAMMY Award-nominated and multi-platinum selling rock band Fall Out Boy is set to hit the road this summer with their 2023 headline tour So Much For (Tour) Dust. The 25+ date North American trek will kick off with a show of epic proportions at Chicago’s famed Wrigley Field on June 21 before continuing through cities like St. Louis, Dallas, Phoenix, Atlanta, Toronto, and concluding in Camden, NJ on August 6.
In addition to Wrigley Field, So Much For (Tour) Dust includes three more stadium stops: BMO Stadium in Los Angeles, Forest Hills Stadium in New York and Fenway Park in Boston. Complete routing is available below.
Fall Out Boy will be joined by Bring Me The Horizon on most dates, as well as Alkaline Trio, New Found Glory, Four Years Strong, The Academy Is…, Royal & The Serpent, Games We Play, Daisy Grenade and Carr on select shows throughout the tour’s run.
Ticket pre-sales for So Much For (Tour) Dust go on sale Thursday, February 2 beginning 10am local time. General tickets will be available for purchase beginning Friday, February 3 at 10am local time. For all dates and details, please visit www.falloutboy.com/tour.
So Much For (Tour) Dust, presented by Live Nation, is in support of Fall Out Boy’s forthcoming new album So Much (For) Stardust, which arrives March 24, 2023 on Fueled By Ramen/Elektra/DCD2 Records. The record was produced by Neal Avron. Pre-order So Much (For) Stardust here.
Last Wednesday, the band returned to their roots for a surprise homecoming show at Chicago’s legendary 1,000-capacity Metro – announced only two days prior, the show immediately sold out. Just down the street from Wrigley Field, the band first played the venue in September 2002, a pivotal gig that FOB’s Patrick Stump jokingly called back to for the packed crowd two decades later: “Twenty years ago, I told my mom I was going to take a semester off [college] because we were headlining Metro and I wanted to see how that would work out.” FOB’s Pete Wentz expressed the band’s enduring relationship with the venue: “Walking up those stairs is the closest thing this band will have to church.”
Variety hailed the night as a “triumphant hometown show,” noting that “there are concerts, and there are events, and a hometown show in Chicago from [Fall Out Boy] is definitely in the latter category.” Over the course of the night, the band ripped through a mix of their biggest hits and deepest cuts, with Illinois Entertainer praising the set as “taking full advantage of both the intimate venue and the loyal hometown crowd to deliver a once-in-a-decade event.”
The show also featured the live public debut of both “Love From The Other Side” (listen here) and “Heartbreak Feels So Good” (listen here), two tracks from the new album and the latter of which was released the morning of the show. The Chicago Sun-Times lauded the two tracks, noting the new material “takes all they’ve learned and accomplished the past 20 years and combines it with their unflinching roots for an ultimate glow-up.”
Prior to the show, the city was enveloped with teasing signage across city buildings and stations along the ‘L.” Foreshadowing the impending tour announcement, the marquees at Metro and Wrigley both featured curiously complimentary nods to the 1989 film Field of Dreams.
Fall Out Boy first hit the stage in 2023 with a dynamic set at iHeartRadio ALTer EGO in Los Angeles, CA on January 14, just days after officially revealing the release date for “Love From The Other Side.”
Fall Out Boy most recently co-headlined THE HELLA MEGA TOUR in July 2021 alongside Green Day & Weezer, playing live in front of over 1 million fans on a sold-out global stadium tour. The U.S. leg included numerous sold-out stadium gigs – including renowned venues like Wrigley Field, Boston’s Fenway Park and Los Angeles’ Dodger Stadium. Critical and fan acclaim poured in, with USA Today hailing it “the most stacked line-up of any rock tour in 2021,” Billboard noting that each night was “serving up a buffet of hits in front of one of the largest concert crowds,” and Rolling Stone calling it “wildly entertaining.” The tour was nominated for both Major Tour of the Year and Best Rock Tour at the Pollstar Awards in 2021. The international leg of the tour took place throughout the summer of 2022.
So Much (For) Stardust is Fall Out Boy’s eighth studio album and first since 2018’s M A N I A, which garnered a GRAMMY nomination for Best Rock Album and marked their third consecutive and fourth overall #1 album.

With his commanding presence and street veteran status, Doodie Lo didn't come this far to only come this far. Carrying all his momentum from a breakout year in 2022, the Kankakee, IL, native teams with Trippie Redd to acclimate himself to stardom in his new video for "Who You Are." The standout track from Lil Durk and Only The Family's Loyal Bros 2 compilation mixtape, released in December, finds Doodie striving to strike a balance between his hustler's roots and his emerging stardom as he faces the criticisms that come with it: “They say, ‘Doodie, you don’t even know who you are now’/Gotta watch how I move cause I’m a star now.”
Directed by CrownSoHeavy, "Who You Are" opens on Doodie hunched over on a wall, with his head hung low like he's had enough as he starts to feel the heat creep in. The video provides a portrait of both Doodie the rap star and the man behind the curtains, showing how one's success effects the other as he stands on his bonafides in the face of criticism. People say he's changed, but he didn't put the work in just to stay the same.
“Who You Are” arrives as Doodie Lo’s first new music of the year, following recent singles like the Kodak Black-featuring “ISTG Pt. 2, ” “Back Bone,” “FACE,” and the Icewear Vezzo-assisted “Melrose,” which helped him make his mark with his sizzling street anthems last year. In 2021, Doodie Lo made an impact with Big Doodie Lo, the artist’s debut full-length project. The mixtape is home to “Me & Doodie Lo,” an energetic collab between King Von and Doodie that originally appeared on OTF’s Loyal Bros compilation (and racked up over 15 million YouTube views), in which the legendary O-Block native gives Mr. Kankakee an enthusiastic co-sign. Over the past year, Doodie Lo has considerably grown his profile, gaining tens of thousands of YouTube subscribers and Spotify Monthly Listeners, and collaborating with heavy hitters like Moneybagg Yo, Pooh Shiesty, BIG30, and more.
The fifth compilation mixtape by Only The Family, Loyal Bros 2 follows up 2021’s Loyal Bros and 2019’s Family Over Everything. Stay tuned for much more from OTF in 2023.

Video: Only The Family - "Mad Max" ft. Lil Durk & Future
Smurk and Pluto Star in the Latest Movie from Only The Family's Recent Loyal Bros 2 Compilation Tape
The Video:
Lil Durk took a long and steady rise to superstardom and he brought his family with him. Sharing the latest video from the Only The Family compilation Loyal Bros 2, Durk teams up with Future for "Mad Max." Produced by HitmanAudio, "Mad Max" is the latest in a line of fiery Smurk/Pluto collabs, as both emcees flex their peerless melodic skills in the service of sinister street stories. The new music video, directed by DrewFilmedIt, reflects the pair's love of mob movies, particularly the 2002 film Shottas, and revels in all the bloody details, depicting a violent heist and subsequent revenge.
"Mad Max" is the latest in a line of action-packed video from Loyal Bros 2, following the Durk solo slapper "Hanging With Wolves," the Doodie Lo and Kodak Black collab "ISTG Pt. 2," and the ice cold posse cut "Thug," featuring Doodie Lo, Chief Wuk, and Icewear Vezzo.
Highlighted by several brand new tracks by Lil Durk, including the Deeski collab "Block Is Hot," Loyal Bros 2 touts the benefits of keeping a tight circle of devoted vultures who were around before the fame and fortune. Curated by the Chicago-bred superstar, the new tape showcases the raw lyricism and melodic instincts of the label's roster of talent, which now boasts luminaries like Doodie Lo, Booka600, Chief Wuk, C3, Deeski, BoonieMoe, OTF Jam, and more. On "We Did It," one of the tape's highlight tracks, BoonieMoe welcomes a verse from the late great King Von. With additional guest spots from Kodak Black, Trippie Redd, PGF Nuk, BIG 30, Lil Zay Osama, and many others, Loyal Bros 2 is available everywhere via Only The Family/EMPIRE.
The fifth compilation mixtape by Only The Family, Loyal Bros 2 follows up 2021's Loyal Bros and 2019's Family Over Everything. Stay tuned for much more from OTF in 2023.
