PHILADELPHIA, PA – January 27, 2025 – Audacy announces Country singer Zach Top and Pop singer-songwriter Lola Young as its newest LAUNCH artists. Audacy LAUNCH, sponsored by Macy’s, is the Company’s music discovery program designed to spotlight emerging artists. By leveraging Audacy’s extensive multiplatform reach and the influential power of radio, Audacy introduces these artists to its vast audience of millions of listeners and fans.

Audacy LAUNCH allows listeners to explore upcoming artists’ music in ways that resonate with them most as musicians climb to new heights in their careers. Audacy will support both artists’ work, including Top’s single “I Never Lie” and Young’s “Messy” through broadcast and digital airplay, on-air artist vignettes, digital editorial and engaging social content.  

“With a highly anticipated tour on the horizon, Zach’s ‘90s country vocal style is what fans are craving.
