Coverage takes in new single and album releases, chart and streaming performance, tour announcements and results, awards show outcomes and the label and management decisions that drive careers and catalogues.

Streaming numbers and chart positions provide a recurring data layer that sits alongside individual release and tour coverage and feeds analytical pieces about where the format is moving. Cultural crossover moments — when pop artists generate news beyond the music industry — generate some of the most widely followed stories that originate in Los Angeles.
