Damiano David earns unprecedented triple-format promotion across iHeartMedia's radio network with his debut solo single "Born With a Broken Heart." The Måneskin frontman becomes the first artist to receive "On The Verge" status simultaneously in Contemporary Hit Radio (CHR), Hot Adult Contemporary, and Alternative Rock formats.

Notable "On The Verge" success stories include:

• Chappell Roan - "Good Luck Babe"
• Teddy Swims - "Lose Control"
• Benson Boone - "Beautiful Things"
• Olivia Rodrigo - "Driver's License"
• Doja Cat - "Say So"
