Sydney also broke into the Top 20 on Billboard’s Emerging Artists Chart and reached the Top 10 on Billboard’s Hot Alternative Songs Chart. She’s since surpassed 5 million monthly Spotify listeners and recently made her debut on Spotify’s Top Songs Chart in the U.S.
Earlier this year, Sydney celebrated the first anniversary of her viral hit ‘We Hug Now’ with a release of a live performance of the track. After a quiet grind, ‘We Hug Now’ powered Sydney’s reintroduction and breakthrough last year, accompanying the release of her critically acclaimed I Know What I Want EP. Billboard praised the project, noting, ‘It’s not hard to get wrapped up in Rose’s elegant vocals and knack for conjuring simple, emotionally resonant lyrics in confined spaces.’
‘We Hug Now’ dominated TikTok with 1.3 million creates and 10 billion cumulative views, climbing into the Top 15 of the TikTok Top Songs Chart. It’s now approaching 250 million global streams and has hit the Top 3 on Spotify’s US and Global Viral 50, the Top 15 of the Shazam US Top Songs Chart, Top 30 on Apple’s US Songs Chart, and Top 20 on the Genius Overall Chart. This fall, the hit track also impressively received a Gold certification from the RIAA. 
Last summer, Sydney performed at BST Hyde Park alongside Noah Kahan, Gracie Abrams, FINNEAS, and more, while releasing fan favorites ‘I Stopped Trying’ featuring Delaney Bailey and ‘Before & After You,’ inspired by The Last of Us. She closed out 2025 with her sold-out I Know What I Want Tour across Europe and the U.S., and capped the year with her first holiday single, ‘The Holiday,’ and a collaborative cover of ‘Sympathy Is a Knife’ with Medium Build. Sydney recently wrapped up her Australian headline tour and will hit the road to support Mon Rovèa on his North American tour this September.
Gold-certified singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Sydney Rose releases new single ‘Track Team’ today via Mercury Records / Island EMI. Sydney debuted the new track last weekend during her set at Rolling Stone’s Stateside Festival in Kingston, NY, taking the stage before the likes of Noah Kahan and Gigi Perez.
