On July 3 the Calmatic-directed music video for "OTW" was released by Khalid, featuring 6lack and Ty Dolla $ign. The audio was released on April 20 and the song's retro-R&B plus trap mood finds a visual home, clarifying that this is not a song about a cold-blooded booty call.

Full of contagious, authentic smiles, the video makes this hypnotic song even more appealing by creating a party atmosphere that uplifts the hot summer night mood to a rare level, giving "OTW" a shot at growing into a summer hit.

— Sony Music (@sonymusic) July 3, 2018

Coming into 2018 with five GRAMMY nominations and a hit debut album, Khalid's one-offs and collaborations have been incredible, which is why two of his noms were for the anti-suicide side-project "1-800-273-8255" with Logic and Alessia Cara. The song made it to No. 3 on Billboard's Hot 100, Khalid's highest ranking track so far.

Back in May, "OTW" reached No. 57 on the Hot 100. Whether its happiness-inducing video kicks its chart-rank out of Park and back into Drive or not, there's a good chance it'll add smiles to your July.

Need some plans for Labor Day 2018 weekend? Philadelphia's Made In America fest looks like the place to be, following the announcement of its performer lineup for Sept. 1–2, with Nicki Minaj and Post Malone headlining.

As if the headliners weren't enough enticement, Meek Mill will make his first hometown Philly performance since his release from incarceration. GRAMMY winners joining the fun include Alessia Cara, Diplo, Miguel, and Zedd.

Malone collaborator Ty Dolla Sign is also part of the MIA lineup, in addition to GRAMMY nominees 6lack, Fat Joe, and Janelle Monáe. Bloodpop, Hobo Johnson & The Lovemakers, and Tokimonsta are just a few of the emerging talents sure to make MIA a fitting finale for summer this Labor Day weekend.

Malone's 2018 album Beerbongs & Bentleys arrived in April and has been breaking streaming records, while Minaj's new album Queen is expected on June 15. The song "Ball For Me" on Malone's Beerbongs & Bentleys features Minaj and was co-written by them with producer Louis Bell.

VIP and Tidal pre-sale tickets are available now. Visit the festival's website for more ticket information.

As the movie Black Panther and Kendrick Lamar's curated Black Panther: The Album continue to make inroads, more tracks have hit the Billboard Hot 100, while Black Panther: The Album hit No. 1 on the Billboard 200 for the week ending Feb. 15.

In the most recent tally on Feb. 24, two songs were on the Hot 100 from the previous week — "Pray For Me," combining Lamar with The Weeknd, at No. 11, while "King's Dead" moved from No. 69 up to No. 38, blending Lamar with James Blake, Future and Jay Rock.

Lamar and SZA's "All The Stars" entered the Hot 100 at position No. 9. Its official video was posted on YouTube Feb. 6 and is now up to more than 27 million views. Other tracks making their first appearance include "X" at No. 49 by 2 Chainz, Saudi and Schoolboy Q. This is Saudi's personal debut on the Hot 100.

One of the love songs featured on our recent Valentine's Day playlist, "The Ways" by Khalid and Swae Lee enters at No. 63. SOB X RBE, who just announced they'd be touring with Post Malone, debut on the chart at No. 67 with their powerful "Paramedic!"

The two other Black Panther Hot 100 newcomer tracks are the catchy "Big Shot" at No. 71, with Lamar and Travis Scott, trailed by the lyrical powerhouse "Black Panther" rap of Lamar's at No. 91.

Stay tuned to see what other cultural products of Wakanda explore the Billboard charts on their own.

The Billboard streaming songs chart dated Feb. 10 shows GRAMMY Effect gains for many of the performances seen on the 60th GRAMMY Awards telecast.

Bruno Mars' "Finesse" from his Album Of The Year GRAMMY-winning 24K Magic had its best streaming week ever, breaking 40 million. Cardi B's featured spot on the remix version of the track helped bolster the GRAMMY performance on YouTube, which has 18 million views already and helped the song to its record-breaking streams.

Another song that did well in several different versions is "Despacito," the Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee original and their remix with Justin Bieber had a 9 percent increase in streams moving from position 30 to 24, again boosted by their performance at the 60th GRAMMYs.

The show's closing number, Logic's "1-800-273-8255," featuring Best New Artist winner Alessia Cara and nominee Khalid, jumped 15 percent in total streams and 47 percent on YouTube.

The GRAMMY Effect has also made itself felt on download sales of performances and on Billboard album charts, once again demonstrating that people are moved by great music when they get a chance to experience it.
