One last thought: Last year we discussed what a US label deal could look like for SKZ. Some had worries about compromising their artistry but seeing Oddinary—written entirely by the members—soar to #1 when given a level playing field shows the importance of that equal opportunity twitter.com/Jeff__Benjamin…

@Jeff__Benjamin
Get well soon, Jungkook. You have the world wishing you the speediest recovery ever
Take care of yourself, you'll pull through, we're all cheering for you no matter what twitter.com/GeffenRecords/…

@Jeff__Benjamin
According to early industry predictions, @NCTsmtown_DREAM is on its way to its first Billboard 200 entry with #GlitchMode
62
@Jeff__Benjamin
According to early industry predictions, @Stray_Kids' #Oddinary should spend another week on the Billboard 200, likely within the Top 20
63
@Jeff__Benjamin
Like I always say for a first-time entry, streaming is going to be crucial to rising higher and making it onto the chart 💪💪

@RBW_MAMAMOO's Whee In, "Pink Cloud"
"A simple-yet-stunning acoustic number that feels like you’ve been transported to the singer's happy place"

@marktuan, "My Life"
"The moment I heard 'My Life,' I knew Mark was moving into a special moment in his career. The honesty in these lyrics...is heartbreaking and shows a more vulnerable side of the star — one we never really saw in his past releases"

With the new week of @billboard chart updates, some additional big moments for @Stray_Kids:
-"Maniac" is No. 19 on the Hot 100 Bubbling Under, fourth #Kpop group to enter this chart
-"Maniac" is No. 1 on World Digital Song Sales, second chart-topper for SKZ after "Mixtape : OH"

HUGE: @JYPETWICE announces their first stadium concert in America. An encore US date for their 'III' World Tour will take place at the @BancStadium on May 14!
This makes TWICE the second-ever #Kpop artist and first female #Kpop act to hold a stadium show stateside

So sad to hear that Tom Parker of The Wanted has passed at age 33 following his battle with brain cancer as confirmed by wife Kelsey Hardwick. The couple welcomed have a daughter, born in 2019, and a son, was born in 2020, together. Rest In Peace.

Saw the conversation so thought I'd clear up: It looks like SM Entertainment is the only distributor for NCT Dream's #GlitchMode. Confirmed that Virgin Music is not involved in this release but may be in future U.S. releases (so, Dream's numbers are really strong!)
71
@Jeff__Benjamin
As a part of Capitol Music Group, Virgin Music is the independent distributor that has serviced and promoted albums for NCT, NCT 127 and SuperM albums in the U.S. (all of which have had great chart results!)
