Anderson .Paak Signs With PPL For International Neighbouring Rights Collections

New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Across four solo albums Anderson .Paak has established himself as one of the foremost R&B artists in the world. Since 2019 he has won four Grammy Awards, including Best R&B Album for his most recent LP Ventura, which reached No. 4 on the US Billboard 200 chart in 2019. In early 2021, it was announced he had formed superduo Silk Sonic with Bruno Mars, a collaboration which delivered 'Leave The Door Open', his first US Billboard Hot 100 No.1 hit and which spent 18 consecutive weeks in the Top 10. The RIAA-certified, two-times platinum single has been followed by a second US Top 20 hit, 'Skate', while Silk Sonic's first album, An Evening With Silk Sonic, is due out in January 2022.
