The company has provided periodic updates on aspects of the program, and on Wednesday, unveiled a report on the progress its music efforts have made over the past year in multiple cities and countries, which are recapped below.

Hello and welcome! Are you feeling some of the post-inauguration joy? Looking for some new tunes to usher in an era of (hopeful) rejuvenation and redemption? Then welcome to V’s new music round-up, where we tune you into some of the week’s biggest and best releases, whether they be singles or albums.
(P.S. You could be listening to a lot of the tunes that are seeing resurgences in national and worldwide sales post the inauguration special, like Ant Clemons and Justin Timberlake’s “Better Days,” Tim McGraw and Tyler Hubbard’s “Undivided,” or Katy Perry’s “Firework.” But they’ve all been out for a while now, so we’ll be focusing on newer releases. Regardless, never a time to not boom, boom, boom brighter than the moon, moon, moon.)

ATLANTA Georgia Democrat Senate candidates Jon Ossoff and Rev. Raphael Warnock held a drive-in rally Monday featuring Atlanta-based rapper BRS Kash, who has written degrading comments about women online, including joking about rape, according to screenshots that circulated after the event.
BRS Kash was among four artists performing at a get-out-the-vote campaign event in Lithonia, Georgia, for Ossoff and Warnock, who are challenging Sens. David Perdue (R-GA) and Kelly Loeffler (R-GA) in Georgia’s Senate runoff election on January 5.
Soon after the event, screenshots of tweets from BRS Kash began attracting attention on Twitter, which included crude language and jokes about rape and hiding a white girl in his trunk.
