On the road again! After their successful Brightside World Tour last year, the group announced an encore set of shows for this fall.

The band — led by Wesley Schultz and Jeremiah Fraites — is set to open their tour in Maine in mid-August before stopping at several amphitheaters and music festivals, including Aspen’s Jazz Aspen Snowmass festival. Accompanied by James Bay as an opener, they’ll conclude their tour at Los Angeles’ Hollywood Bowl on Sept. 15.

“We’re stoked to be back on the road, playing a run of shows in the US later this year with our good friend @jamesbaymusic,” the group wrote on Instagram.

The tour extension is in support of their 2022 album Brightside , led by singles “Where We Are,” “ A.M. Radio ,” and “Big Shot.”

Last year, they hit the road for 62 stops around the world. It was their first tour after the cancelation of shows from their III: The World Tour, due to Covid. The group made its way around Europe before hitting the road in the U.S. with CAAMP, Ashe, and Bay as openers.

The Lumineers is a popular folk-rock band based in Denver, CO. Its spare, soulful sound draws inspiration from lyrical heartland rockers like Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, and Tom Petty. With every new show, The Lumineers prove that American folk music is alive and well in the 21st century.

In 2005, Wesley Schultz and Jeremiah Fraites worked together to form The Lumineers. The pair met and began making music together in Ramsey, NY. They moved to Brooklyn to pursue their dream of a music career, and later went to Denver. The band’s subsequent success was all thanks to its constant reinvention and collective desire to improve.

Over the years, The Lumineers gained more members like Neyla Pekarek, Maxwell Hughes, Ben Wahamaki, and Jay Van Dyke. Each new member contributed various musical skills and offered new creative twists to The Lumineers’ signature sound before its eventual departures. Despite the band’s ever-changing member lineup, the original founders Schultz and Fraites kept things fresh.

The band’s swift success began when “Ho Hey” hit radio waves in 2012. It differed from the usual pop-friendly tracks with its classic folk-rock twist. The single reached unbeatable heights on numerous charts across the globe and set up impending success for the band. Soon enough, The Lumineers’ unique self-titled record earned the group a Best New Artist nomination at the 2013 Grammys. It turned the tables on popular music and marked the beginning of a solid career.

After gaining well-deserved commercial success, The Lumineers geared up for more groundbreaking albums. Cleopatra followed in 2016, showcasing the band’s delightful versatility and proving its place in pop culture. Cleopatra sat comfortably at the top of the UK and U.S. charts and helped the band’s third full-length record III shake up its stellar discography.

III told a touching story of personal struggles, allowing The Lumineers to reach its full potential as a riveting band in 2019. Not only did it captivate fans with more creative diversity, but it stuck to the band’s original roots. III peaked at number 2 in the U.S., securing another incredible accomplishment for The Lumineers.

The Lumineers hit up 2022 with renewed vigor. Its fourth studio release, Brightside, breathed life into a promising record collection and proved the band was more polished than ever. It was no surprise, especially with Schultz and Fraites at the helm. True star power and lyrical storytelling weaved its way into each soulful track, shedding new light on The Lumineers’ music career.

Throughout its illustrious career, the band has maintained a revolutionary vision, building a cohesive collection of all-star albums while reinventing the folk-rock genre. Besides a game-changing discography, The Lumineers also liven things up with unifying concert experiences.

From Madison Square Garden to Red Rocks Amphitheatre, The Lumineers make a home in every legendary venue. Fans can’t deny the band’s presence on stage, especially with its subtle sound reverberating throughout each smash song or low-key ballad. The Lumineers constantly represent incredible versatility without showing any signs of stopping. Ultimately, the band takes indie elements to the next level while capturing the magic of true lyricism.

Live reviews

First off, The Lumineers are one of my all time favourite bands. Watching them live was an amazing experience! The atmosphere they created in the small cozy venue made it feel like they were my friends playing up there, as if once they were done we could all sit and have a conversation. Their music in general makes me feel like this; it makes me feel at home.

Because they have only released one album, you could tell everyone knew every single song, which is always the best at a show because it felt as if the audience was so connected through it all. What was even better, was that the artists up on stage were feeding off of this community vibe to perform in a very honest kind of way with such passionate energy.

They were so comfortable with everything it made their music even more personal to me. At one point they even stopped playing to ask if everyone could put their cameras down and simply enjoy the moment and be with them in the music. And at another point during the show the lead singer (Wesley Schultz) stepped off stage, walking around the small crowd, to talk and sing acoustically with no microphones or anything electronic for a song. It was the most amazing experience I’ve had in any show, everyone crowded around Wesley listening to the purest form of music.

I’d highly recommend going to a Lumineers concert. Some seriously amazing band members who are very real, truthful, and down to earth. Not to mention, their music has the most balanced mix of instruments and lyrics that make you want to pay attention to every word. I’m really not just saying all this. I’m a real person who can honestly say the Lumineers’ concert was one of the best ones I’ve ever been to in my life.

Report as inappropriate

I was introduced to the music of the Lumineers through one of my children who is now 20. On hearing this group for the very first time and then listening to their first album, I was taken aback with the exceptional talent and originality of this band.

Their sound is utterly unique, which is an incredibly hard thing to achieve with all the talented musicians of the current day and also of past years.

These three young musicians have made their own trademark sound - which is easily recognisable as "their" music.

For me, the lyrics of their songs are "deep" and intellectually superior to most lyrics of songs that we are all used to hearing. At the time their music is upbeat and, once heard, is not forgotten. Their music has intense energy!

If you are familiar with the Lumineers' music, then you will understand my appreciation and fascination with this band. The vocals are intense and strong - and appealing for all age groups.

I went along to the London concert with my sister and my younger daughter (age 14), and they had a great time at the concert.

The Lumineers poured their heart, soul and energy into their performance and their passion for what they have created could be clearly seen.

These three young, attractive and gifted musicians have everything that makes them stand out from the crowd. I am confident that this very special band will continue to develop their great music and grow further in popularity to music listeners not only in London but throughout other countries.

If you ever have the chance to listen to the Lumineers or get tickets to one of their concerts, don't pass up the opportunity - you will be hooked!!!!

It was a lot of fun getting to experience this eclectic music genre. I love classic rock, folk, blue grass, and the blues. The Lumineers seem to be a blend of all 4 genres that I find very appealing.

I loved their mourning of not doing house parties anymore so they came out and as middle of the audience they could and they sang a couple of songs. That is when we got to hear Neyla's voice on it's own. WOW! she has an asset they are under utilizing. Next album they need let her have more solos and add this dimension to their portfolio.

I especially love her cello playing and this is exactly why I love the Lumineers, I realized last night. The cello gives their music that something unique that makes them great. Wesley really needs to get humble and acknowledge better what she contributes. Without her they would be more run of the mill. Also then maybe she would look happy to be doing what she is doing. Come on guys her smile is beautiful and charming so make her smile more!

Not that the rest of the band isn't very talented...it is just the extra special difference and talent needs to be honored that has put them on the world stage.

-From a 58 year old who still like to hear new music genres

I have never seen The Lumineers in concert before and I love their music so I was excited to finally see them. They came to the new Smart Financial Center in Sugar Land. I have never been to this venue before and I liked it. I will definitely be going back. The concert actually started on time, which was very surprising to me and I liked that very much. Susto was the first band to come out and play for us. I had never heard of them, but I enjoyed their music. Next was Kaleo, which I had never hear of either, but turns out I did know one of their songs. I really enjoyed seeing them perform. Finally, The Lumineers came out and it was great. They totally knew how to put on a show. They gave us back stories to the songs "Gun Song" and "Charlie Boy" that I did not know and I appreciated that. They talked to the crowd, told us how much they appreciate the fans, played all the songs the fans know, and even went into the middle of the audience to play a couple songs. I would definitely recommend people to see them because it is so worth it. I am very happy that I got the chance to see them. I left the show not wanting it to end.

Honestly, the Lumineers is not the kind of band I would see every year if I had the possibility to do so. The problem is that the sound exactly the same live and on their albums in my opinion. This, along with the huge arena venues they play in, makes the show feel like I'm listening to a record with 20,000 other people: impersonal. It's just not the kind of band you dance to with the crowd, for instance. Don't get me wrong, I had a great time, but a more intimate setting (though, judging their popularity, I don't think this will happen) would be much more appropriate.

One thing I did like: the singer and songwriter Wesley often interacts with the audience, and explains the personal stories that inspired the songs. He was on the brinks of tears when he told us that Long Way From Home was about his father's fight (and eventual demise) against cancer. These stories make you look at the songs in another light. Another surprise: Neyla (the cellist) has an amazing voice! They should give her a more prominent singing role.

All in all, 2.5/5

Wow. What an amazing show. It's such a cool experience to find a band in obscurity, and know they will soon be famous. That's how is was when I discovered the Lumineers in 2013...and they have only gotten better. Last night's concert was exactly why they are what they are. Original songwriting, perfect accompaniment, and the feeling and sound of a band that you met early that hasn't left their original sound. It is such an amazing experience to me, to find a band that you love...and just a few short years later they are headlining. When I stood in that audience, and listened to everyone sing lyrics along to every song....it's such a surreal experience.

Wes even made a point during the show, to mention how they started in people's living rooms, and that they like to get closer to their audience. They proceeded to leave the stage, walk through the crowd and play on a smaller stage, mid-crowd.

Absolutely amazing concert. One of the best I've ever been a part of. I can only say thank you to the band for such an amazing experience.

The most incredible concert! The lumineers are my favourite band, so I'm writing from the viewpoint of someone who knows all the words to every song! But even if you don't, the way the band interact with the audience and tell a story through their music is just amazing. On this tour I saw them at barrowlands in Glasgow and the usher hall in Edinburgh and the atmosphere was great in both. When you're in the audience you just know that you share the same love for their music as everyone around you and it's magical. In Edinburgh they managed to get the whole usher hall quiet and perform two songs without any microphones which they had never tried before but worked so well. The songs are powerful and most of them fairly slow, so it's not a raving concert to go to smashed and dance the night away, it's one to appreciate and to go to with your closest friends to enjoy some incredible music.

Totally worth going to their concert! I really appreciated it when the lead singer has to stop mid-song to apologize and tune his guitar. I also love his small anecdotes before some of the songs, and here I thought I could not love the songs more than I already do, but knowing where he got the inspiration from writing the songs made them absolute gold. And then I guess he noticed most of the audience were recording the show, so he made a deal with us where we are allowed us to film Ho Hey and then we were to put our phone away so we can fully enjoy the show. And everyone followed him! I did not see anyone using their phone, at all! (except the woman in front of me every now and then, but still)

All in all, they are definitely one of their favourite bands now. The other members are really amazing too!

P.S. I loved how their shirt are recycled.

Went to see the Lumineers at O2 Brixton last night. I was well familiar with the venue and like it. Standing for the young folks and seating for the ones that do not need to be smashed in a human jam sandwich to enjoy the concert.

The warm up act was ..... well lets just say that we are not running out to buy the album and the name already slips my mind.

The doors opened at 7. The Lumineers appeared at 9:10 and were promptly off the stage at 10:40. No encore performance. The music was incredible but crowd interaction was totally minimal and they were done after just getting started. This was a sold out show and unfortunately I did not get tickets at the normal price so felt a little cheated but at the end of the day, these are truly talented musicians who perform really well.

When it comes to high tempo, high energy stompers, you can't go wrong with these three funsters from Colorado.

As usual, they went quite early with the big one ("Ho Hey") and Wes continues to encourage an actively engaged audience (over one watching through a camera lens), which leads to a far more attentive audience; indeed, by the big finish, there wasn't a man, woman or child who wasn't completely in to it.

The new album, being only 33 minutes long, proved easy to learn, with large swathes of the audience seemingly knowing most of the words to most of the songs, which again only added to the atmosphere. The trio of ladies ("Cleopatra", "Angela" and "Ophelia") all went down well with the crowd and the "Stubborn Love" finale was positively Luminescent. Outstanding fun.

Essential Albums

By the conventional wisdom of the '10s, this album is an anomaly: There's no Auto-Tune, no drums, and hardly any production at all. You can even hear the room echoes when this acoustic band strikes up a sing-along chorus. Two immensely catchy singles, "Ho Hey" and "Stubborn Love," got The Lumineers noticed, but the album gets its staying power from subtler tunes like "Slow It Down," which makes effective use of Neyla Pekarek's cello. Heartfelt, uncluttered performances of terrific songs? What a concept.

About The Lumineers

The Lumineers gave folk rock a refreshing makeover with a stripped-down, unplugged style full of foot stomps, handclaps, rolling piano riffs, and passionately strummed acoustic guitars. But despite their back-porch sound and their status as one of the biggest bands in folk rock and modern Americana, the band began not in some rustic backwater but in New York City. That’s where New Jersey natives Wesley Schultz and Jeremiah Fraites started playing their songs together as The Lumineers in 2005 after a few years of banging around with various names and styles. Things came fully into focus when singer/guitarist Schultz and multi-instrumentalist Fraites relocated to Denver in 2009, and they soon brought cellist/singer Neyla Pekarek aboard. The trio’s self-titled debut album appeared in 2012, and the single “Ho Hey” burst the dam, becoming a phenomenal success in a world with its appetite for acoustic music whetted by Mumford & Sons, and helping the album go multiplatinum. Intensifying the contrast between hummable tunes and forlorn lyrics that powered the first album, 2016’s No. 1 Cleopatra maintained the minimalism but still managed to lead The Lumineeers into sold-out arena shows. Pekarek split to go solo in 2018, but the two founding members reconfigured and solidified their vision, releasing III in 2019 and taking a batch of intensely personal, emotionally naked songs into the top tier of the Pop charts.

Acosta oversees Habibi, the management company representing clients including Karol G, Grupo Frontera, Eladio Carrión, Mora and Lyanno. “My main daily goal is to identify each artist’s DNA so we can strategize properly,” says Acosta, 39. Habibi guided Karol G’s banner 2023, which included a sold-out stadium tour and her historic Grammy-winning, chart-topping album, Mañana Será Bonito .

For Alvarez-Smikle, who oversees digital marketing for Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole, Playboi Carti, Juice WRLD, JID and the rest of Interscope Geffen A&M’s hip-hop and R&B roster, understanding today’s niche online communities is essential. “Authentic content and storytelling has always been so important, and I’m excited that it’s once again in the forefront of the digital conversation,” the 33-year-old executive says. “I’m also incredibly excited by the amount of thought being put into fan spaces and unique communities online for fans to gather around common interests.”

Tyler Arnold

Mercury records.

When Republic Records offered Tyler Arnold a full-time assistant role five months into his six-month internship with the label in 2014, taking it was “a no-brainer” — even if it meant dropping out of Northeastern University one year before graduating. “This is my dream,” Arnold recalls thinking. “I have to go for it.” Arnold quickly became an A&R executive extraordinaire: His first signing to the label, in 2015, was a young Post Malone (“I signed him on my 23rd birthday,” Arnold recalls); his second was superproducer Metro Boomin in late 2016. By 2020, Arnold was Republic’s executive vp of A&R. “I really loved discovering music in high school and college, finding new artists and seeing them grow,” he says. “I also wanted to work really closely with the artists, and I felt like A&R, if you do it right, there’s such a personal connection that you can build.” Today, the fast-rising executive is applying that same mentality as president of Mercury Records, the Republic division that relaunched in April 2022 with major names like Post and Noah Kahan and strategic partnerships with Big Loud (Morgan Wallen) and Imperial Music (Bo Burnham). And though Arnold says he wasn’t sure he was ready to head a label, “I wanted to grow as an executive.” Read the full profile on Tyler Arnold here.

Ayoub has handled digital marketing for massive recent tours, including The Lumineers, Shawn Mendes and Taylor Swift, whose The Eras Tour, Billboard estimates, earned over $900 million in 2023. The 29-year-old also led digital strategy for Ed Sheeran’s Mathematics Tour, which has sold nearly 6 million tickets since its 2022 launch. He hopes the industry addresses equitable ticketing soon and that legislation will “help get tickets into the hands of fans with less stress [and] confusion and at a fair, transparent value.”

Vp of A&R

Secretly group.

At Jon Coombs’ wedding in 2017, Angel Olsen performed her song “Some Things Cosmic.” Several years prior, it was the first song by the singer-songwriter that Coombs had ever heard, and it was, he recalls, “a true game-changer for me, personally.” It was a game-changer for Olsen, too: After Coombs heard it, the A&R executive signed her to the Secretly Group sublabel Jagjaguwar. As vp of A&R for Secretly Group — which, in addition to Jagjaguwar, encompasses Dead Oceans, Secretly Canadian, Saddest Factory Records and Secretly Publishing — Coombs has shaped the face of indie music today from Olsen, his first signee, through many others now including Mitski, Faye Webster and Mustafa. It all might’ve seemed unlikely for Coombs, now 38, who as a kid growing up in southern Indiana pored over the thank-you’s in the liner notes of the CDs he bought with his allowance. “I was just like, ‘OK, sure, Mom and Dad.’ But then it was like, ‘Everyone at label name,’ ” he says. “That’s when I started to connect the dots — there’s labels. I started getting fascinated with label culture.”

He first noticed Bloomington, Ind.-based Secretly Canadian on the back of The Impossible Shapes’ 2003 album, We Like It Wild , and ended up interning at Secretly Distribution while a student at Indiana University. A series of pivotal events followed: Shortly before Coombs graduated, Bon Iver released the seminal For Emma, Forever Ago on Jagjaguwar (already affiliated with Secretly Canadian; the Secretly Group moniker would come later); a key employee on Secretly Group’s small staff departed; and Coombs landed a job there. He hasn’t left. Back then, Coombs wore “a lot of hats” — something he still points to as a benefit of working at an indie label, for those starting out in the industry — but once he moved to New York in 2010 to open the label’s office in the city, he gravitated toward project management, A&R and synch licensing. In the mid-2010s, Coombs was also heavily involved in launching Secretly’s publishing division. But regardless of his role or which artist on the label group’s eclectic roster he’s working with, Coombs says his guiding principle has been “championing the unobvious.” Today, Secretly’s artists are among the indie world’s most visible. Phoebe Bridgers recently opened dates on Taylor Swift’s The Eras Tour, genre-melding trio Khruangbin plays to sizable crowds around the world, and Mitski and Webster both went viral on TikTok in 2023. (Mitski’s “My Love Mine All Mine” spent a record six weeks atop the TikTok Billboard Top 50 chart last fall.) “It shows that maybe there’s room for more voices — for more adventurous music in the mainstream,” Coombs says when reflecting on the label group’s crossover successes. “Audiences are excited for adventurous songwriters — and that’s what we excel at.” —Eric Renner Brown

Across Lillia Parsa’s six-year A&R run at Universal Music Publishing Group, where she rose to senior vp of A&R, her impressive achievements included discovering songwriting phenom Nija Charles and developing writer-producers Blake Slatkin and Omer Fedi into the top hit-makers they are today. “I never really thought about leaving publishing and going to the label side,” the 31-year-old says. “I loved it, and I was super proud of being a publisher.” But others at UMPG’s parent company, Universal Music Group, had noticed Parsa’s accomplishments — and amid UMG’s recent restructuring, Interscope Records CEO John Janick reached out with a career-altering opportunity: becoming president of Capitol Music Group. Parsa took the leap, but her presidency comes amid major changes at UMG — among them, a major shake-up of the company’s recorded-music division. So far, Parsa has risen to the challenge of leading the reorientation of the eminent 80-year-old label — now home to influential artists like Ice Spice, Maggie Rogers, Doechii and Troye Sivan — while keeping her love of creative A&R at her core.

How were you recruited for this role? I was nearing the end of my deal at UMPG, and I’ve always admired Janick. When he told me about this position … he said, “I think you have all the tools for this. Come and try it.” From there, it all happened very fast. When he told me that I would be working closely with Tom [March, Capitol chairman/CEO], I thought it would be a cool way to enter the label system. In your new role, how involved are you with A&R and creative work? When you get into this new role, people assume you will take a step back. But I feel that in the way I’ve been positioned in this role, I can stay creative. Obviously, there’s more responsibility and leadership, too, but it’s funny: As I’ve been meeting potential artists and managers, they ask, “Is there a day-to-day on this?” And I’m like, “Yeah, me.” I always want to do it. How did working in publishing affect the way you approach recorded music? Working in publishing was a cheat code. As a publisher, I would go meet with every label, every A&R. I got to see how different A&Rs pitched their artists in ways label A&Rs didn’t get to see. I got a really good bird’s-eye view of the industry, including how our competitors maneuver. It’s also so helpful to be close to writers and producers. They are a great sounding board for me when I’m working with the artists signed to Capitol. Publishing really trained my ear and gave me a network of valuable relationships, and those relationships don’t die after six years working with them. In a weird way, I’ve gotten even closer to some of my former clients. —Kristin Robinson

Osita “Duke” Ugeh

Duke concept.

Today, Osita “Duke” Ugeh is a pivotal behind-the-scenes player for the biggest Afrobeats concerts in the United States — but his fascination with live music dates back to his youth. Growing up in Asaba, Nigeria, Ugeh used his training in classical and liturgical music to write and play music in church and train choirs. While studying electrical engineering at Nigeria’s Madonna University, he organized shows and parties, falling in love with “putting events together for people to attend.” Upon graduation, Ugeh started Duke Entertainment in 2008, but “met a lot of hurdles” producing concerts in Asaba and Calabar, so he opted for a steadier career in Lagos as a technical support engineer. Moving to New York in 2011 rekindled Ugeh’s interest in promoting shows: He found the quality of local Afrobeats concerts lacking. An engineer’s job “is to perform solutions for any issue,” explains Ugeh, 38. With most Afrobeats shows relegated to places like warehouses, he founded Duke Concept in 2013 “to put Afrobeats in proper venues and on main stages.” In the decade since, he has succeeded and then some. Duke Concept has independently produced and promoted shows and tours for emerging and established Afrobeats artists like Burna Boy, Davido, Fireboy DML, Asake and Olamide. In April 2022, Duke Concept produced Burna Boy’s concert at New York’s Madison Square Garden — where he became the first Nigerian act to headline the legendary venue. “It’s mind-blowing to see how far we’ve gone,” he marvels the day after Davido’s headlining Garden show in April, which he proudly declares “was a 100% Duke Concept production, no partnerships involved.”

Gbenga Awotunde

Ugeh’s African heritage and long-standing relationships with Afrobeats artists have also established him as a leader in a live Afrobeats market where, he fears, some major companies are investing due to the music’s popularity but without “actually [understanding] the culture”; the crowds may have diversified, but the core audience remains predominantly African, he says. Now Duke Concept is expanding into the festival market — while maintaining Ugeh’s broader vision to cater to the larger African diaspora. In April 2023, it launched Tribeville in Houston with Adekunle Gold, Simi, Oxlade and more; the festival will return in July with Davido as headliner. The promoter added two Washington, D.C., festivals this spring: Rolling Cocoa (now rebranding as Golden Cocoa) and Colors of the East, which featured lineups of Ghanaian and East African artists respectively. (The latter event was ultimately postponed.) “There’s more music from Africa than just Nigerian music,” Ugeh says. Going forward, he has his eyes set on the gospel space — “Gospel music is an integral part of African culture that has not been celebrated enough,” he says — along with hip-hop and R&B. Ugeh’s big dreams for Duke Concept don’t stop there: “The next goal is for the company to go public,” he says. “The more financial capacity you have, the more shows you’re able to produce.” —Heran Mamo

David Wander

Chief digital officer.

Wander, 38, leads Roc Nation’s digital department and digital strategy across the company’s verticals — which includes the rollout and promotion of the Roc Nation-produced Super Bowl halftime show, featuring Rihanna in 2023 and Usher in 2024. Elsewhere, he says his work on the campaign for the “Book of HOV” exhibition — the 2023 Brooklyn Public Library celebration of Jay-Z’s life and work — helped spur record-breaking engagement in the form of over 600,000 visitors to the installation and 36,000 new library cards.

“Either a videographer or script supervisor.”

Vp of marketing, columbia records.

The world is White-Mason’s rodeo. The 37-year-old calls spearheading marketing efforts for Beyoncé’s Billboard 200-topping Cowboy Carter “one of the highlights” of her career. “When more established artists [prioritize albums],” she says, “they are effectively changing the marketplace … and actively changing our listening habits in the process.” Additionally, White-Mason assists talent like Chlöe and Halle Bailey in navigating a landscape with more music — and shorter attention spans — than ever.

“Believe it or not, a Harvard Law student! I was studying intellectual property law, thinking I wanted to start my own one-stop shop for music supervision. What can I say? My generation loves a pivot.”

Lindsay Williams

Universal music enterprises.

As leader of Universal Music Enterprises’ marketing team, Williams helps make the old new again. In 2023, she oversaw the reissue campaigns for The Beatles’ “Red” and “Blue” compilations, which included the release of “Now and Then,” the Fab Four’s “last” song; the albums returned to the Billboard 200’s top 20 while the single debuted at No. 7 on the Hot 100. Her team also spearheaded the campaign that pushed Brenda Lee’s 1958 holiday classic, “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree,” to the top of the Hot 100. “Short-form platforms have transformed catalog,” says Williams, 39. “The age of a release no longer matters.”

“Prince at The Troubadour in 2011. Still in shock I got tickets.”
