DIPLO INKS WITH WARNER CHAPPELL
A NOTE TO PUBLICISTS: TIME FOR SOME ICONOCLASM
Drake, "NOKIA"
Drake's cell-phone celebration (from $ome $exy $ongs 4 U, his joint release with PARTYNEXTDOOR, via OVO/Republic/Santa Anna) is one of the biggest songs in the world. Naturally, the 6 God dialed up an extravagant black-and-white video, directed by Theo Skudra, to accompany it. The clip is filled with nostalgic delights and some impressive choreography. If only we could find our roller skates.

ANOTHER FEATHER FOR GEORGE-MIDDLETON'S ASCAP
Jack Black, "Steve's Lava Chicken" (from "A Minecraft Movie")
"You ever wonder what happens when you mix hot lava with chicken?" asks the formidable Black in this Minecraft moment. Well, of course we have, and now, thanks to this petite, piquant piece of poultry pop, we have our answer. The song (on the ADA-distribbed WaterTower Music ST) is proving as popular as lava chicken itself, with big TikTok action (#4 U.S. and 162m views in the last week) and healthy streams. And at a fleet 50 seconds, it's also on track to be the shortest song ever to make the U.K. Top 40. Now that's spicy. Team ADA recommends you pair it with an icicle lemonade.
