the lucky me tour will celebrate the arrival of Duff’s sixth studio album, luck… or something, available to pre-order/pre-save now HERE. luck… or something includes the acclaimed new single “Roommates,” which is currently climbing at Pop & Hot AC Radio. Listen HERE. Co-written by Duff with her husband, GRAMMY® Award-winning songwriter/producer Matthew Koma (Britney Spears, P!nk), and Brian Phillips (Alec Benjamin, blink-182) and co-produced by Koma and Phillips, the track was instantly met with high-profile praise from outlets including Billboard, V Magazine, and Rolling Stone, the latter of which declared it “10 OUT OF 10…one of her best songs.” “Roommates” is joined by an official music video, directed by Matty Peacock (Billie Eilish, Ariana Grande) and currently boasting over 2M views on YouTube HERE.

luck… or something was heralded last fall by its first single, “Mature,” available everywhere now HERE. Hailed by VOGUE for “pushing Duff’s sound in new directions while still feeling quintessentially Hilary,”  the sardonic, shimmering track – which quickly earned over 5M global streams in its first week of release – arrived as a piece of autofiction inspired by romantic misadventures in her formative years.  Set against bright pop production and layered with Duff’s signature wit and vulnerability, “Mature” is accompanied by an evocative music video directed by Lauren Dunn (Olivia Rodrigo, Dove Cameron, Saweetie), which has garnered nearly 4M views. 

This weekend will see Duff marking the new album’s impending arrival with SOLD-OUT limited engagements at the Voltaire at The Venetian Resort Las Vegas set for February 13-15 and May 22-24. Hilary’s landmark 2026 kicked off last month with her “Small Rooms, Big Nerves” dates, an instantly SOLD-OUT global run of very special live shows marking her first headline concert appearances in over a decade. Designed as a rare, up-close experience, the performances offered fans a look at an artist reconnecting with live performance on her own terms and setting the stage for what’s next.

Kevian Kraemer Releases “you woke me up” Via Atlantic Records

0

Kevian Kraemer releases his emotionally charged new single “you woke me up” via Atlantic Records, marking the first musical offering from the buzzing singer-songwriter this year. Co-written by Kraemer and produced alongside collaborators Michael Kamerman and Dan Rufolo, the song layers ethereal electric guitar transmissions between steady beat-craft. “‘you woke me up’ stems from a situation where my lack of awareness and communication hurt someone that I deeply care about and myself,” Kraemer shares. “It’s about growing and understanding that I need to be more intentional in my relationships with people, especially romantic ones. This song is bold, loud, and I wouldn’t want the start of 2026 to be any other way.”


oungBoy Never Broke Again Named Best Rapper Alive And Most Certified Rapper Of All Time

0

YoungBoy Never Broke Again is named Best Rapper Alive by Complex, joining an elite society including Kendrick Lamar, Pusha T, Drake, Ye, and more. The most-streamed artist in the world is also now the most certified rapper of all time, with the Recording Industry Association of America announcing that YoungBoy surpassed Drake and Jay-Z for the most gold and platinum songs and albums ever with 126 RIAA certifications. This honor comes with the release of his highly anticipated album ‘Slime Cry’, which debuted at number six on the Billboard Charts, making it his 17th Top 10 album. All of these recognitions occurred within one week.

Following the record-breaking success of ‘MASA’ and the landmark 2025 MASA Tour, hailed by The New York Times as the number one music moment of the year, YoungBoy’s ‘Slime Cry’ release solidifies him as one of the greatest of all time. Fans eagerly awaited the delayed release, and streaming numbers reflect that enthusiasm. The Baton Rouge rapper holds records as the youngest artist with 100 or more Billboard Hot 100 entries and as the rapper with the most charting albums in Billboard history.

Known for his raw, emotionally intense music, YoungBoy first gained attention with mixtapes like ’38 Baby’ in 2016 and ‘Mind of a Menace 3’, breaking through with ‘AI YoungBoy’ in 2017. With chart-topping albums including ‘Until Death Call My Name’ in 2018, ‘AI YoungBoy 2’ in 2019, ‘Top’ in 2020, ‘Sincerely, Kentrell’ in 2021, and ‘MASA’ in 2025, he has become the only hip-hop artist to debut three consecutive number one albums. His relentless output and deep connection with fans make him a defining force in contemporary music.
