Audacy has tapped Zach Top and Lola Young as its newest LAUNCH artists.

Spotlighting emerging artists, the music discovery program uses Audacy’s multiplatform reach and the power of radio to support both artists’ work, including Top’s single “I Never Lie” and Young’s “Messy” through broadcast and digital airplay, on-air artist vignettes, digital editorial and social content.
