LOS ANGELES, July 30, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Avex Music Group (AMG), the global music company of Japanese entertainment giant Avex led by CEO Brandon Silverstein, is making waves across the pop and hip-hop music landscape with chart-topping hits from its roster of groundbreaking producers, songwriters, and artists.
AMG's publishing talent continues to dominate the U.S. charts with standout contributions to some of the year's biggest songs. Drake's "What Did I Miss?" produced by AMG's Elyas and "Nokia" produced by AMG's Elkan, both reached No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100. Elkan also is a producer on Travis Scott's JACKBOYS 2, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard's Top 200 Albums chart. AMG's Grant Boutin's songwriting and production propelled Tate McRae to a No. 1 Mediabase Top 40 hit with "Sports Car" and a Billboard Dance/Pop No. 1 with "Revolving Door." Boutin also co-wrote "Lose My Mind" by Don Toliver and Doja Cat, a highlight of the new F1 soundtrack. Meanwhile, AMG artist Shenseea's remix of "Shake It To The Max" hit No. 1 on Urban Radio and has racked up over 200 million streams on Spotify. We The Band member Harv is a producer and writer on Justin Bieber's Swag which debuted at No. 2 last week on the Billboard charts.
On the Avex/S10 management front, Puerto Rican star Myke Towers is currently on an international tour in support of his new album Island Boyz, which dropped July 17th and debuted at No. 2 on Spotify's Global Album Debuts chart. Rising J-pop boy band ONE OR EIGHT became the first of their J-pop boy group to break into the U.S. Mediabase Top 40 with their hit "DTSM". This milestone comes on the heels of their exciting new deal with Atlantic Records, marking a defining step in their global rise. Avex's XG made a bold U.S. debut at Coachella this year and also headlined their first world tour, The First Howl, with audiences totaling 400,000 in 18 countries. In addition, S10 has expanded its management roster, adding three new artists as part of its continued growth.
"It's exciting to see the hard work of our artists, writers, and producers resonate at such a high level across both the charts and the global stage," said Silverstein. "In just a few short months since forming AMG, our artists have seen extraordinary success on the charts and on the road."
