Drake's 'What Did I Miss?' reached No. 2 on Billboard's Hot 100 and produced by Avex producer Elyas. Another Avex producer, Elkan, produced Drake's 'Nokia' and was a producer on Travis Scott's JackBoys 2, which earned a No. 2 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 and a No. 1 spot on the Billboard 200 chart, respectively. Other chart highlights of the year for Avex included Tate McRae's hits 'Sports Car' and 'Revolving Door,' which were produced and co-written by Grant Boutin. The songwriter and producer also contributed Don Toliver and Doja Cat's F1 soundtrack song 'Lose My Mind.'
'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,' Silverstein said in a release Wednesday. 'In just a few short months since forming AMG, our artists have seen extraordinary success on the charts and on the road.'
On the International front, AMG touted their upcoming J-pop boy group One Or Eight, who have started to gain traction internationally. They recently became the first J-pop boy group to land on the U.S. Mediabase Top 40 with their single 'DSTM,' which is reinterpretation of Rihanna's hit 'Don't Stop the Music.'
AMG also highlighted XG, the global girl group under Avex subsidiary XGALX, who recently made their Coachella debut. The seven-member girl group, who debuted in 2022, recently spoke with THR about the experience. 'We were so grateful and honored to be able to perform [at Coachella],' member Maya told THR.
The company alongside Silverstein's S10 manages artists including Myke Towers, who is currently on a global tour. S10 also expanded its management operations, adding three new undisclosed artists.
