In a remarkable display of industry influence, Brandon Silverstein’s S10 Entertainment and Avex USA have capped off 2024 with an unprecedented achievement, placing three songs in Mediabase’s year-end Top 40 radio chart’s top 20. The success comes on the heels of Avex USA’s strategic investment in S10 Entertainment earlier this year.
Leading the pack is Tate McRae’s infectious hit “Greedy,” produced by S10 publishing client Jasper Harris, which claimed the coveted #1 position. The momentum continued with Doja Cat’s “Agora Hills,” produced by Gent!, securing the #5 spot, while Tommy Richman’s “Million Dollar Baby,” produced by recent S10 signee Kavi, rounded out their success at #16.

“Our producers and songwriters have delivered groundbreaking success that inspires us every day,” says Silverstein, whose company has demonstrated its ability to consistently deliver chart-topping hits across multiple genres. The achievement is particularly notable as all three tracks also reached #1 on Spotify’s Global Chart during their respective runs.
Naoki Osada, CEO of Avex USA, attributes this success to the unique chemistry between the two companies. “We’ve been extremely excited to witness the great successes of the amazing creatives we support together,” Osada notes. “The partnership between our companies holds tremendous potential for the future.”
The publishing division’s success extends beyond these three hits, with writer Kosa’s contribution to Rvssian’s “Santa” reaching #12 on Spotify’s Global Chart. These achievements validate the May 2024 strategic investment by Avex USA in S10 Entertainment, which has already yielded impressive results.
Silverstein’s S10 Entertainment, which operates from Los Angeles and New York, has built an impressive catalog featuring tracks by artists like Justin Bieber, Bad Bunny, Rihanna, and Drake. With over 40 billion streams and 20 #1 songs in the past three years, the company’s partnership with Avex USA seems poised to continue delivering chart-topping success well into 2025.
The collaboration between these industry powerhouses not only demonstrates their ability to identify and nurture top-tier talent but also showcases the growing significance of international partnerships in shaping today’s global music landscape.
