A Great Big World - This New York-based singer-songwriting duo, featuring Ian Axel and Chad Vaccarino, has made quite an impact with their breakout hit “Say Something,” which recently climbed to the #1 spot on iTunes and Billboard’s Digital Songs Chart after an emotional performance of the song with Christina Aguilera on “The Voice.” In January 2013, their viral hit “This Is the New Year,” solidified them as an indie pop presence with staggering YouTube views and was covered by the cast of “Glee.” The duo originally used support from fans to craft a six-song EP funded entirely on Kickstarter, which led them to sign with Black Magnetic/Epic Records. Known for their positive, piano-driven pop songs and heartwarming lyrics, A Great Big World’s debut full-length album, “Is There Anybody Out There?,” is available for pre-order now and features both the original and Christina Aguilera versions of “Say Something."
ARIANA GRANDE landed at the top with her first full-length album for Republic Records, “Yours Truly.” It debuted at #1 on the Billboard Top 200, Billboard Digital Albums Chart, and iTunes Overall Albums Chart. Moreover, it yielded the game-changing pop smash "The Way" featuring Mac Miller. One of 2013's defining songs, the single went double-platinum, hit the Top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 and reached #1 on the iTunes Overall Top Songs Chart. GRANDE's magnetic charm, impressive voice, and astounding presence have enchanted millions of fans worldwide. However, “Yours Truly” merely starts her journey to legendary.
