iHeartMedia promotes Damiano David’s solo single, “Born With a Broken Heart,” across multiple formats as their latest “On The Verge” artist.

Today, iHeartMedia announces Måneskin frontman Damiano David as its latest “On The Verge” artist with his new solo single, “Born With a Broken Heart.” In a first for the radio company, David will be featured across three formats with iHeartRadio Contemporary Hit Radio (CHR), Hot Adult Contemporary, and Alternative Rock stations.

“Part of Damiano’s brilliance is that he creates music that defies genres,” said Tom Poleman, Chief Programming Officer for iHeartMedia. “When our iHeart programmers first heard ‘Born With a Broken Heart,’ we knew it didn’t fit into just one format, so we decided to do something we’ve never done before; our first multiple format ‘On The Verge’ across three genres.”

“It’s an honor to have ‘Born With a Broken Heart’ featured on so many radio stations across the country, and I’m so grateful to iHeart for all the continued support in promoting my new music and helping it reach new fans,” said Damiano David.

“We are appreciative and inspired by iHeart’s commitment to rising star Damiano David through their ‘On The Verge’ program. Being chosen as the first across three formats speaks to his potential and our collective belief in him,” said David Massey, President and CEO, Arista Records.

iHeartMedia’s “ On The Verge” program helps build awareness for up-and-coming artists through its radio airplay reach. Historically, all artists in the program have charted in the top 30, with more than half landing in the top 10 and a third claiming the #1 chart slot. Success stories of “On The Verge” include Chappell Roan with “Good Luck Babe,” Teddy Swims with “Lose Control,” Benson Boone with “Beautiful Things,” Olivia Rodrigo with “Driver’s License,” and Doja Cat with “Say So.”
