A powerhouse partnership between Brandon Silverstein’s S10 Entertainment and Avex USA has yielded extraordinary results in 2024, with three songs landing in Mediabase’s year-end Top 40 radio chart’s top 20. The impressive showing follows Avex USA’s strategic investment in S10 Entertainment, creating what appears to be one of music publishing’s most formidable alliances.
At the forefront is “Greedy” by Tate McRae, produced by S10’s Jasper Harris, which secured the #1 spot on the year-end chart. The company’s hot streak continued with Doja Cat’s “Agora Hills,” crafted by producer Gent!, landing at #5, while Tommy Richman’s “Million Dollar Baby,” produced by Kavi, claimed the #16 position.
Silverstein’s Vision Drives Publishing Success
“Closing the year with three songs in the top 20, including the number one spot, reflects the incredible talent and dedication of our team,” Silverstein tells Billboard. The executive’s strategic approach to talent development has paid off, with all three tracks achieving #1 status on Spotify’s Global Chart during their runs.
The partnership’s impact extends beyond these achievements, with S10 writer Kosa contributing to Rvssian’s “Santa,” which peaked at #12 on Spotify’s Global Chart. For Avex USA CEO Naoki Osada, these successes underscore the strength of their collaboration. “The chemistry between our two companies is unique and holds tremendous potential for the future,” he says.
Since its inception, Silverstein’s S10 Entertainment has amassed an impressive catalog that includes works by Justin Bieber, Bad Bunny, Rihanna, and Drake, accumulating over 40 billion streams. The Los Angeles and New York-based company has achieved 20 #1 songs in just three years, setting a blistering pace in the industry.
This year’s chart dominance suggests that the S10-Avex partnership, formalized through a May 2024 investment, is already delivering on its promise to create a new force in global music publishing. With a strong foundation in both the American and Japanese markets, the collaboration appears well-positioned to continue its chart-topping streak into 2025.
The partnership’s success not only highlights their ability to spot and develop top-tier talent but also demonstrates how strategic international alliances are reshaping the modern music industry landscape.
