Miley Cyrus has signed with Atlantic Records, trading over a decade under the Sony umbrella for a new home at Warner Music Group. The two-time GRAMMY-winner produced arguably her biggest hit to date with ‘Flowers’ on Endless Summer Vacation. The news comes on the heels of longtime Atlantic artist Ed Sheeran departing for Interscope.

After reportedly leaving THE·TEAM (or Wasserman) amidst Casey Wasserman’s inclusion in the Epstein Files, Laufey has now signed with Jeffrey Hasson, Sam Kirby Yoh & James Wright of UTA for global representation. The jazz-pop artist has been on a massive 67-date arena run that is set to wrap next month.

Longtime pop-punk group BOYS LIKE GIRLS have signed with Joey Simmrin & Jon Lullo of MDDN for management. Founders (and of Good Charlotte) Benji & Joel Madden remarked that "It is a huge compliment and great honor that [BOYS LIKE GIRLS] decided to begin this new chapter with MDDN. We look forward to helping them build a business that highlights their legacy and achieve new heights on the road ahead!!”

French Police, the post-punk project of vocalist Brian Flores, has signed with Interscope Records. The band, known for their coldwave and gothic rock sound, recently completed a North American support run alongside Interpol and are set to release their debut on the label with ‘REPTILE / JAPAN’ tomorrow night.

Los Angeles duo thebandfriday, consisting of Finn Morris and Adin Eshaghpour, have signed with Secretly Publishing, almost a year after signing a record deal with Capitol Records. The USC students first caught the label's attention with their viral TikTok hit 'Take Flight.'

Nashville-based G Major Management has expanded its roster with country signings Mae Estes and Clayton Mullen, and added Taylor Venis and Kenzie Couch to its management team. Estes - a CMT Next Women of Country 2024 honoree and Blue Highway Records artist - joins a company roster that includes Thomas Rhett, headed by founder Virginia Bunetta.
