Jelly Roll Reaches New Career Peaks With His Latest Superstar Collaboration

Jelly Roll has a lot going on at the moment. When it comes to the Billboard charts, three of his own singles are present on at least one tally apiece, but that figure only represents about half of his current successes. He's also credited as a featured artist on four tracks fronted by other stars that are going strong.
The singer-songwriter manages to land wins across a variety of rankings, appearing on tallies focused specifically on country, rock, and hip-hop simultaneously. It's in the latter sphere where the Grammy nominee reaches a new career peak on several tallies at the same time with a debut.
Jelly Roll's New Peaks on the Rap Charts
Jelly joins Lil Wayne and Big Sean on "Sharks," which is featured on Tha Carter VI, the latest full-length by Wayne. "Sharks" was quickly selected by fans as a standout tune from the project, and it earns a lofty starting point on a number of rosters.
The collaborative track opens at No. 12 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. It also manages to launch at No. 7 on both the Hot Rap Songs and Rap Streaming Songs tallies. Those positions mark new career peaks for Jelly on those competitive lists.
Jelly Roll's Collabs with Eminem and Joyner Lucas
Throughout his time in the spotlight, Jelly has only placed two tunes on all three of those rankings — but which track of his has reached them differs.
He previously topped out at No. 40 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart with "Best for Me," a collaboration with Joyner Lucas. Over on the rap-specific rankings, Jelly has previously appeared inside the top 10 on both the Hot Rap Songs and Rap Streaming Songs lists with "Somebody Save Me," his 2024 collaboration with Eminem. "Sharks" beats "Somebody Save Me" by just a spot or two on that pair of rosters.
Jelly Roll's First Career Win
The multi-style artist also reaches the R&B/Hip-Hop Streaming Songs ranking for the very first time with "Sharks." It opens at No. 9 on the list of the most successful hip-hop, R&B and rap tunes across platforms like Spotify and Apple Music, and Jelly scores his first top 10 with the collaboration upon its arrival.

20 Critical Mistakes Advertisers Make With Social Media Campaigns
While successful social media campaigns can build awareness, drive conversions and strengthen audience trust, even strong campaigns can fall flat if they miss key details or employ the wrong tactics. From posting on the wrong platforms to ignoring your audience's wants and needs, seemingly small missteps can derail momentum (and your budget). Here, members of Forbes Agency Council share 20 critical mistakes advertisers make with social media campaigns. Read on to learn how to avoid the same and focus on what works. 1. Failing To Entertain The biggest mistake advertisers make is creating content that fails to entertain first. We're in our 'talkies moment'—the algorithm is the gatekeeper, and without stopping the scroll, your content won't reach anyone. Instead, follow new rules: Entertain first, then inspire or educate. Key takeaways beat key messages. The days of averages are over. Focus on trends and patterns in a video-first world. - James Nord, Fohr 2. Overproducing Content Overproduced content often backfires on social media. People scroll past anything that feels too scripted or polished. The best content feels native to the platform—casual, imperfect and real. That's what builds trust. Don't be afraid to let your brand show up with a little less polish and a lot more personality. - David Moncur, Moncur 3. Trying To Be Present Everywhere One of the biggest mistakes advertisers make is trying to be everywhere at once without a strategy. At our organization, we believe that spreading content across every platform without understanding where your audience engages can weaken your message. We recommend a focused and strategic approach by tailoring content specifically for the platforms where your audience is most active and receptive. - Durée Ross, Durée & Company, Inc. 4. Not Leveraging Creators One mistake is not partnering with creators to deliver your story. Creators are trusted more than ads or celebrities, and collectively are the most effective messaging to drive conversions on social media. But finding the right creators is important. We use a leaderboard to show brands' top-performing creators and content ranked by performance and to ensure the best-performing ones are chosen. - Rodney Mason, LTK Forbes Agency Council is an invitation-only community for executives in successful public relations, media strategy, creative and advertising agencies. Do I qualify? 5. Handing The Reins To The Algorithm Hire a pro; don't depend on the algorithm. It's tempting to rely on the built-in automation tools; with a few clicks, you can 'boost a post' or build a broad 'lookalike' audience. But doing so hands the reins to a program optimized to spend your budget, not grow your business. Social can drive serious ROI when it's treated as a strategic channel rather than a checkbox. - Chintan Shah, KNB Communications 6. Posting On The Wrong Platforms Focus on the platforms where your customers spend their time! If you are marketing to grandparents, use Facebook, but for younger audiences, use Instagram or TikTok. For business audiences, use LinkedIn. Don't waste time and resources posting on the wrong platform for your targeted audience! - Nancy Marshall, Marshall Communications 7. Not Understanding Your ICP The biggest mistake is not understanding your ideal customer profile and their user journey. If you don't understand who you're targeting and where they are in the buying cycle, your message will miss. Tailor content to match their stage, intent and platform behavior to actually drive results. - George Arabian, NVISION 8. Boosting Posts On Facebook Boosting a Facebook post is often a complete waste of time and money. Boosting is a watered-down version of a Meta campaign with default settings that may not be right for you. Spend the extra time in creating a campaign properly or work with someone who understands Meta advertising. - T. Maxwell, eMaximize 9. Ignoring Audience Responses Within social advertising, ignoring audience responses—letting comments and messages go unanswered—wastes ad spend and erodes trust. Avoid this by assigning a community manager, setting real‑time alerts for mentions and committing to reply within 24 hours. This encourages dialogue and user‑generated content, boosting reach and loyalty. - Goran Paun, ArtVersion 10. Chasing Virality When brands chase viral moments that don't reflect who they are, they dilute trust. Start with clarity on your brand's voice, purpose and role in the world. Stay consistent. Then use trends as a lens, not a crutch, to create content that's timely and true. - Jacquelyn LaMar Berney, VI Marketing and Branding 11. Overemphasizing Sales Versus Genuine Engagement One of the biggest mistakes is overemphasis on sales instead of pure engagement. Overly promotional content can cause a huge turn-off with your audience. It's important that advertisers focus on providing value through their content, which can eventually lead to more naturally converted sales. - Jordan Edelson, Appetizer Mobile LLC 12. Using Non-Specific Messaging Trying to include everyone can ironically make audiences feel unseen. When messaging lacks specificity, it misses the mark emotionally. Focused, audience-driven content fosters true connection—people respond when they feel truly understood. - Christy Saia-Owenby, MOXY Company 13. Having A Corporate 'Billboard' Mindset Blasting messages like it's a one-way ad channel is the fastest way to get ignored. Social isn't a billboard; it's a conversation. Want results? Sound human, not corporate. Build campaigns that invite response, adapt in real time and earn attention. If you're not listening and evolving, you're just adding to the noise. - Lars Voedisch, PRecious Communications 14. Prioritizing Reach Over Relevance One of the biggest mistakes is chasing reach over relevance. Pumping budget into broad campaigns without clear audience targeting wastes spend. Instead, focus on niche segments, tailor creatives for each and test relentlessly to optimize for engagement and conversions. - Boris Dzhingarov, ESBO Ltd 15. Forgetting To Optimize For Mobile Most users will see your ad on their mobile device, so if it's not mobile-friendly, you're losing impact. Avoid small text, wide layouts and slow-loading content. Use vertical videos, concise captions and buttons that are easy to tap. Always preview your ads on mobile before launching to make sure they look great where it matters most. - Jason Hall, FiveChannels Marketing 16. Treating Social Media As A Stage One of the biggest missteps is treating social media like a stage instead of a conversation. Chasing likes, trends or clever gimmicks without anchoring your campaign in what actually matters to your audience—their pain, priorities or goals—is a fast way to burn budget and attention. Social works best when it's relevant, consistent and rooted in brand purpose. - Sarah Tourville, Media Frenzy Global 17. Taking A One-Size-Fits-All Approach One of the biggest mistakes is failing to understand the audience's true needs and values. A generic, one-size-fits-all approach won't resonate. Advertisers should invest time in research, listening and personalizing content to create meaningful connections. Tailored messages build trust, leading to more authentic engagement and better campaign results. - Robert Nikic, Why Unified 18. Failing To Tailor Ads To Social Media So many advertisers fail to create ads that are specific to social media. Social platforms need authenticity to ensure the ad is credible. People also go to social media to waste time; brands should respect that by making their social ads entertainment. - Mike Maynard, Napier Partnership Limited 19. Talking About The Brand Instead Of To The Audience One of the biggest mistakes advertisers make is talking about themselves instead of to their audience. Social media isn't a stage—it's a feed full of people looking for connection, not a pitch. If your ad doesn't speak directly to their world, it's ignored. Relevance beats reach. Every time. - Jimi Gibson, Thrive Agency 20. Posting The Same Thing Across Every Platform A major mistake is treating all platforms the same by repurposing content without tailoring it to each platform's user intent. Use AI-driven sentiment analysis to understand how your audience engages differently on each platform and customize messaging accordingly to boost relevance and response. Even small adjustments can significantly improve ROI. - Ajay Prasad, GMR Web Team

CODE27 AI Companion Exceeds Crowdfunding Expectations, Ignites Industry Buzz
June 23, 2025 - CODE27 Character Livehouse, first unveiled at CES 2025 this January, successfully concluded its Kickstarter campaign at the end of May, raising over $1.7 million from over 3,200 backers. Described as a Customizable 3D AI Companion Hub, CODE27 drew considerable attention at CES due to its integration of AI companionship, anime girl aesthetics, and otaku culture. It is claimed to be the world's first end-to-end customized AI companion that brings your favorite character to life. CODE27 has redefined success in the AI companion hardware space, achieving one of the most significant crowdfunding milestones in the category's history. This breakthrough significantly outpaces industry benchmarks, where similar projects, such as Ropet and Looi, historically averaged $300,000–$500,000 in funding. 'The funds raised far exceeded our expectations,' said Brandon, a core developer at Sybran Innovation, the company behind CODE27. With over 10 years of experience in global hardware development, Brandon has led core product and R&D efforts at DJI, OPPO, and RayNeo. Besides, the team's expertise also spans Bytedance, EcoFlow, and other major tech innovators. On its Kickstarter page, the CODE27 team shared the inspiration behind the project: We are a passionate group of anime enthusiasts and geeks, eager to share both moments of joy and times of solitude with the characters we love. Believing that we can be truly accompanied by our favorite characters, we've come together to make this dream a reality. Inspired by the seed of Amadeus from Steins;Gate, which has been planted in our hearts for over a decade, we are fully committed to this project. CODE27 allows users to freely customize characters, environments and expressions. Beyond appearances, CODE27 offers an open, highly customizable AI companion platform. Users can connect to any cloud or local AI model, upload custom 3D assets, and even program new behaviors using 'Spellbooks,' giving them deep creative control over how their companion looks, thinks, and interacts. The product launched at $429 for the base unit and $528 for the version that comes with a smart rotating base. AI-powered companion hardware is often referred to as 'desktop pets.' The rise of generative AI has significantly lowered the barrier to human-computer interaction, opening up new possibilities for companionship-based products. As the category grows, it's the products with real innovation and vision that will ultimately succeed.

Nightly Raises Over $62,000 for Make-A-Wish North Texas With Sold-Out Graduation Concert
Nightly, the youth-led event platform founded by Dallas entrepreneur Thomas Owen, raised $62,180 for Make-A-Wish North Texas through a sold-out Graduation Concert at Gilley's Southside Ballroom. Over 3,000 students from 40 high schools attended the event, which featured rising country artist Ty Myers. Dallas-Ft. Worth, TX, Texas, United States, June 23, 2025 -- Last month, over 3,000 students representing more than 40 high schools across the Dallas-Fort Worth area came together for something that was much more than a graduation celebration. The Graduation Concert, produced by Nightly, raised $62,180 for Make-A-Wish North Texas. The event was hosted at Gilley's Southside Ballroom and featured a live performance from 17-year-old country artis Ty Myers with millions of monthly listeners on Spotify. Nightly, founded by Dallas entrepreneur Thomas Owen, claims not to be 'just another event company.' It is recognized as a platform that merges cultural moments with real impact, designed to show a new generation how celebration and contribution can exist in the same space. The Graduation Concert proved that it is possible to make noise and make a difference at the same time. The $62,180 raised will help grant life-changing wishes to children battling critical illnesses. On May 10th, just hours after the concert, Make-A-Wish North Texas CEO Kim Elenez took the stage at the nonprofit's annual gala and publicly recognized Thomas's work. The check was later presented at the Make-A-Wish North Texas headquarters. 'Thomas had an idea as a high school senior that giving should be a part of his life work, so last night he hosted the largest graduation party of all time benefitting Make-A-Wish,' said Kim Elenez to a full ballroom at Wish Night at the Omni Hotel in Dallas. Behind the scenes, the event took months of planning and relied on a growing team of passionate students and young leaders. Every detail, from ambassador recruitment to event logistics, was handled with intention. What made this night special wasn't just the lights, the music, or the packed venue. It was the deeper belief that young people could lead, inspire, and create lasting change. Nightly is building more than concerts. It is shaping an ecosystem where students are not just attendees but contributors. Where every event, every role, every piece of media feeds a broader movement. Nightly is laying the foundation for something that will expand far beyond Dallas, blending live events, digital storytelling, and community engagement into a brand new category. As word spreads, Nightly continues to gain momentum from students, parents, artists, and nonprofits who see what it stands for. There is an unmistakable energy surrounding what was built on May 9th, and that energy is already fueling what comes next. This fall, Nightly will take its vision on the road with the launch of the Nightly College Tour, a multi-city experience designed to bring that same blend of celebration and impact to campuses across the country. The tour marks the next chapter in Nightly's mission: to turn unforgettable nights into unforgettable change. About the company: Nightly is a cultural event platform creating unforgettable experiences through live music, digital storytelling, and community-driven energy. Based in Dallas, Nightly has quickly grown into a movement with a loyal audience across high schools and colleges. From major graduation concerts to the upcoming Nightly College Tour, the brand is building an ecosystem where entertainment, influence, and impact intersect. Learn more at or follow @nightlyplatform.
