\n\tLast year, an unknown artist named Tommy Richman<\/a> stunned as a guest on Brent Faiyaz<\/a>\u2019s Larger Than Life<\/em>, appearing on \u201cUpset\u201d alongside FELIX! (The song reached No. 12 on Hot R&B Songs last November.) But now, Richman, who is signed to Faiyaz\u2019 ISO Supremacy label, is making a much larger impression with a hit of his own.<\/p>\n

\n\tOn April 26, Richman released the bouncy \u201cMillion Dollar Baby,\u201d on which he flexes his falsetto and genre-blurring sensibilities. The song debuted with 38 million official U.S. streams in its first week of release (April 26-May 2), according to Luminate.\u00a0\u201cMillion Dollar Baby\u201d also scored Richman his first Hot 100 entry, debuting at No. 2 \u2014 behind only Taylor Swift<\/a> and Post Malone<\/a>\u2019s \u201cFortnight.\u201d The song also debuts atop the Steaming Songs chart, making Richman the first artist since Olivia Rodrigo<\/a> with \u201cDrivers License\u201d in 2021 to launch a solo first entry atop the chart.<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\tHere Are Six Things to Know About \u2018Million Dollar Baby\u2019 Singer Tommy\u00a0Richman\t\t<\/p>\n<\/h3><\/div>\n

\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n

\n\tAs previously reported by Billboard<\/em>, the song\u2019s grand entrance resulted in a boost for Richman\u2019s discography; not including \u201cBaby,\u201d Richman\u2019s catalog posted nearly 2.1 million on-demand U.S. audio streams (across April 26-29), a gain of 106% from the four-day period before. And now, in its second week, the song not only remains at No. 2 on the Hot 100, it climbs to No. 2 on the Billboard Global 200 and reaches No. 1 on the TikTok Top 50, as it continues to gain steam.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Woodbridge, Va.-born artist was the first to sign to ISO Supremacy (in partnership with PULSE Records). In addition to scoring a feature on Faiyaz\u2019s last album, Richman also opened for the label boss on his 2023 F*ck the World, It\u2019s a Wasteland Tour. And now, Darren\u00a0Xu<\/strong>, COO of ISO Supremacy, earns the title of Billboard<\/em>\u2018s Executive of the Week<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tDespite much of this success seemingly coming out of nowhere, Xu can\u2019t help but look back knowingly, having always believed Richman would reach this moment. As \u201cBaby\u201d continues to grow \u2014 thanks in large part to TikTok, where the song has soundtracked 218.3K clips and counting \u2014 his team is focused on the future. As Xu, says: \u201cIt\u2019s going to be all gas, no brakes.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tSince the Hot 100 began in 1958, only five other acts have debuted in the chart\u2019s top two with no prior history on the chart. Why is \u201cMillion Dollar Baby\u201d connecting so strongly?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tI feel like \u201cMillion Dollar Baby\u201d is a real testament to the climate of social media today. It really shows that if you make good music, it will reach the right audience. Tommy is creating new sounds and the music will speak for itself.<\/p>\n

\n\tTommy was the first artist signed to Brent Faiyaz\u2019s ISO Supremacy \u2014 what were Tommy and the team looking to gain in signing with Brent?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tThere was a mutual respect and collaborative energy between the two of them from day one, so the connection just made sense. We knew we\u2019d all win big.<\/p>\n

\n\tWhat\u2019s the key to managing an emerging star today?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tDon\u2019t let people rush or pressure you into taking steps you don\u2019t need to, and prioritize the artist\u2019s taste and vision.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tHow are you planning to keep momentum going \u2014 for the song and Tommy more broadly?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tYou guys are going to have to just stay tuned and keep an eye on what we do next. All I can say is it\u2019s going to be all gas no brakes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
