Bartels and team are striking a chord.
Friday, April 1, 2016

#1s, PART ONE:
MOST DEF

Steve Bartels' Def Jam is striking a chord. The freshly dropped Jhené Aiko-Big Sean collab twenty88 has seized the #1 spot on the iTunes album leaderboard, while Kanye West's The Life of Pablo, having gone wide, is the #1 streamed album on the major services.

Meanwhile, Desiigner's hot new "Panda" is threatening the Top 10 at iTunes and Alesso's "I Wanna Know" featuring Nico & Vinz is just getting started (take a listen).

Bartels and team are so stoked they don't even mind being associated with the April Fools at this website.
