Grammy-nominated recording artists Migos‘ CULTURE II album has made its first week debut at #1 on Billboard’s Top 200 Chart with 150,000 streaming units sold, 38,000 traditional sales and 11,000 track equivalent sales marking their second number one album after their last debut smash CULTURE and amassing 225.6 million streams in it’s first week. The trio has also announced they will be the esteemed musical guests on Saturday Night Live on March 3rd.
The colossal 24-track album was released on January 26th, the anniversary of CULTURE, on Quality Control Music / Capitol Records / Motown Records at the same time as their performance on The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon and the dropping of their first Rolling Stone magazine cover.
The monumental feat gives the ATL trio their second number one album outselling its predecessor by 70,000 units. Eight songs from the album earned Top 10 positions on Spotify on the day it was released in addition to debuting at #1 in 62 countries on Apple Music achieving one of the largest debut weeks in the music platform’s history as the trio’s smashing success on streaming services continues to soar.
Wasting no time in 2018, Migos markedly eclipsed their sweeping success by gracing the cover of Rolling Stone and delivering an unforgettable performance of the Pharrell Williams–produced single “Stir Fry” on The Late Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. The group also sat down for an in-depth interview for CRWN with Elliott Wilson on Tidal and were featured as emoji’s in an Apple Musiccommercial also featuring “Stir Fry.” The first single from CULTURE II ‘MotorSport‘ featuring reigning first ladies of hip-hop Nicki Minaj and Cardi B showcases the two female sensations making their first official appearance on a song together and currently holds the #1 spot at Urban Radio. The album hosts additional superstar features from the likes of Drake, Kanye West, Pharrell Williams, Gucci Mane, Travis Scott, Big Sean, Post Malone, 21 Savage and Ty Dolla Sign.
Supermodel Tyler Sebago will take on the coveted role of red-carpet host at the 21st Annual South Bay Music Awards, at the iconic Roxy Theatre in West Hollywood, California, on December 1, 2024. Sebago’s will interview an impressive lineup of legendary rock artists, including members from bands like Great White, Metallica, Dokken, Quiet Riot, KISS, and Autograph, as well as a range of multi-platinum award-winning songwriters and producers.
Sebago shared his excitement about the event: “I grew up listening to these bands, studying their artform, and appreciating the subtlety in their larger-than-life persona. It’s such an honor to be asked to delve into their lives and legendary careers, and I am thrilled to be invited to such a prestigious table.”
Since its inception in 2003, the South Bay Music Awards has grown from a simple idea written on a napkin to a major event celebrating independent music. The annual awards show has become a cornerstone of the music industry, offering independent artists a vital platform to showcase their talent and gain the recognition they deserve.
The 21st edition of the South Bay Music Awards will not only commemorate more than two decades of excellence in the industry but also pay tribute to the late Jack Russell, a founding member of Great White and GRAMMY Award® winner. The tribute will honor his lasting influence on the music world, with a special performance by a tribute band featuring notable musicians such as Sean McNabb (Producer’s Choice Bass Player of the Year), Roni Lee (Producer’s Choice Female Vocalist of the Year), and Ronny North (Producer’s Choice Guitarist of the Year). Russell’s contributions have sold nearly 20 million albums throughout his career, further cementing his legacy in rock history.
This year’s event will also showcase the theme “Bringing the Beach to the Sunset Strip,” combining the relaxed, laid-back vibe of California’s beaches with the energy of the famous Sunset Strip. With tickets selling fast, both General Admission and VIP passes are available for those looking to attend what promises to be a star-studded celebration of independent music.
