Primary Wave’s Pre-Grammy Party to Honor Billboard No. 1 Hits: Save the Date and Get the Details

Independent publishing company Primary Wave is teaming up with Billboard to celebrate Billboard No. 1s during Grammy Week with their 17th annual pre-Grammy party on Feb. 3.

The event, which will take place at the Waldorf Astoria in Beverly Hills, Calif., will feature a DJ set from CeeLo Green, who will pay tribute to Primary Wave’s roster and catalog. In addition CeeLo’s set, expected attendees include Asake, Bryson Tiller, DDG, Fantasia Barrino, Gavin Rossdale, Hit-Boy, Jon B, Iann Dior, Lecrae, Rapsody, Rebecca Black, SAINt JHN, Smokey Robinson and Tainy, among others.

It’s a fitting guest list for a Billboard No. 1s party, given that there are multiple Billboard Hot 100 chart-toppers in the mix. Robinson scored a Hot 100 No. 1 with The Miracles’ “The Tears of a Clown”; Barrino topped the chart with her American Idol coronation song “I Believe”; and Iann Dior teamed up with 24kGoldn to reach the summit with “Mood.”

The Primary Wave Pre-Grammy Party Celebrating Billboard No. 1s is sponsored by McIntosh, Morgan Stanley Global Sports & Entertainment and Iron Mountain Entertainment Services.

The event will take place just a day before the 66th annual Grammy Awards on Feb. 4, where SZA leads the pack with nine nominations — including record and song of the year nods for her Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 hit “Kill Bill” and an album of the year nod for her 10-week Billboard 200 chart-topper SOS.

Next up are Phoebe Bridgers, Victoria Monét and engineer/mixer Serban Ghenea with seven nominations; six of Bridgers’ nods are with the indie trio boygenius (alongside Julien Baker and Lucy Dacus), plus a solo mention in best pop duo/group performance for her SZA collab “Ghost in the Machine.” Other six-time nominees this year include Taylor Swift and her longtime producing partner Jack Antonoff, along with Olivia Rodrigo, Billie Eilish, Miley Cyrus, Jon Batiste and Brandy Clark.
