INTERSCOPE: WHAT'S NOT TO "LIKE?"

Interscope wrapped up 2024 firing on all cylinders, with pgLang’s Kendrick Lamar and Darkroom’s Billie Eilish—both of whom go into Grammy night with mondo noms—scoring the most-streamed songs on Apple Music and Spotify, respectively (“Not Like Us” and “BIRDS OF A FEATHER,” in case you hadn’t guessed). Kendrick, whose smash single was followed by a chart-topping new album, GNX, will also get a giant look at the Super Bowl.

Meanwhile, the Lady Gaga/Bruno Mars duet “Die With a Smile,” another top-tier Grammy nominee, is #1 on Spotify’s global and USA charts and appears headed for further milestones. Right behind that giant on the U.S. chart—and sitting in the Top 5 on the global Top 50—is “That’s So True” by Gracie Abrams, who's poised for a fantastic year.

Messrs. Janick and Berman and team are looking at a similarly sparkling 2025, though they’d rather read about this stuff anywhere but here.
