Really enjoyed sitting down with Josh Groban to discuss his new music, incredible career, and how he manages stress on the road. Watch the full conversation on YouTube, and be sure to catch him in the last weekend of his Las Vegas residency! youtu.be/sWSE5rwe0HI

Thirty years ago today, David Bowie became the first major artist to release a new song exclusively on the internet. “Telling Lies,” a preview of his album ‘Earthling,’ premiered on Sept. 11, 1996 with A Guy Called Gerald’s Paradox Mix.

Rightsholders of all kinds - whether of music, books, newspapers, movies or TV shows - must be respected and remunerated, so they can continue to enrich our world and delight audiences everywhere. The launch of @suno's fully-licensed v6 models is a milestone in our mission to protect our artists and songwriters. This is how @warnermusic leverages our commercial partnerships to keep our talent safe and ensure they thrive in the AI era.

Is Netflix missing out by not streaming music? @rkyncl tells @maxwelltani and @lizrhoffman he saw firsthand how music contributed to YouTube's growth and argues it would be "the single largest content ingestion that anybody could go through."

Really enjoyed this conversation - thanks for having me @semafor!
🟡 @warnermusic CEO @rkyncl joins Mixed Signals to explain what a record label actually does in a world where anyone can upload a song to Spotify. @maxwelltani and @lizrhoffman ask Robert why Warner struck a deal with AI music company Suno while Sony and Universal are still suing it, how he thinks about the nuclear-weapons-style leverage labels hold over streaming platforms, and why he thinks Netflix is leaving a massive opportunity on the table by ignoring music.

The multiyear strategy we set in motion in ‘23 is working - huge credit to our global team for their expert execution as we send our artists and songwriters to new heights. 🎶

Clive Davis was a visionary and a relentless champion for artists, and his legacy will live on forever. Rest in peace, Clive.
Clive Davis, the Grammy Award-winning record producer and music executive who helped launch the careers of Whitney Houston, Aretha Franklin and many more, has died at 94. variety.com/2026/music/peopl…

Great to see the NO FAKES Act approved unanimously by the Senate committee today. @WarnerMusic stands with a broad coalition of creators, child safety groups, tech leaders and more to advance these crucial protections for all Americans in the AI era...looking forward to seeing this passed into law.
