Song of the week
Chad's personal pick. One artist, one track, full context on why it matters and where it's going.

One real signal from the scouting dashboard. TikTok UGC spike, stream velocity, social score jump. The data, not the hype.
🎯
Chad's take
Two or three sentences on something happening in music right now. No fluff. Just the read.
