Backstage at Warner artist SOMBR’s sold-out L.A. Forum show (which boasted guest turns by Lindsey Buckingham and The Neighbourhood’s Jesse Rutherford), the artist received a platinum plaque for single “HOMEWRECKER” from his bestest label pals.
“We’ve all been devoted fans of SOMBR since those early days when he was known as sombr,” noted Warner Records Group supremo Aaron Bay-Schuck. “It’s obvious that, whether he chooses a portentous caps-lock title or a bewildering all-lower-case title, it’s gonna stream like a motherfucker.”
In point of fact, “HOMEWRECKER” is being touted for multiple Grammy nominations. Seen just before comms legend Laura Swanson sent us 17 more trade shots are, from left, Warner’s Billy Smith, Alex Chandler, Sean Stevens and Bay-Schuck, SOMBR, WMG COO Tom Corson and Warner’s Mike Chester, Swanson and Chris Morris.
In related news, our bodies aren’t ready for this week.

• Warner’s Mike Chester •

To commemorate HITS 40th anniversary, we asked some of the biggest names in the business to record TikTok videos telling the world what they thought of us.
They were candid. A little too candid, if you ask Us.

Our own Lenny Beer and legendary Broadway tunesmith Stephen Schwartz had such a freilach time at their recent lunch that they spontaneously burst into song. UMPG’s Evan Lamberg, who snapped this marquee-ready photo, immediately acquired the rights.

Warner’s Benson Boone reflected that the only thing better than receiving a diamond award for his “Beautiful Things” was getting to have this affectionate moment with the label’s Mike Chester, who always smells incredibly fresh.

iHeart’s John Sykes and Tom Poleman seize the opportunity to pose with the lads of Temper City, whose indie record “Self Aware” (via Thirty Knots) is a bona fide smasheroo and should, with a few million more streams, qualify for a hyphen. Later, the band was invited to play several stations’ Chanukah shows.

These are but two highlights of the recent ACM Honors. In the first pic, Goldenvoice EVP Stacy Vee and AEG Presents Senior Director of Sales & Special Events Trent Allison and Regional VP Mike DuCharme wondered if it was possible to have a tear in your vodka and Red Bull; in the second, Sony Music Publishing boss Rusty Gaston, newly appointed ACM CEO Andy Schuon, artists Carly Pearce and Parker McCollum, CAA Nashville head/ACM Board President Jeff Krones and outgoing ACM boss Damon Whiteside discuss the harrowing initiation process each new Academy head must undergo, which involves drinking 49 glasses of sweet tea while reciting the lyrics to various George Jones album tracks.
