Lizzo has long defined what success looks and sounds like on her own terms.

Activated across cable TV, online, and other digital mediums, the DEFY LOGIC drive aims to reach new generations to support them in rewriting the world – on their own terms.

Speaking on the partnership, Lizzo said:

“I love that Logitech is embracing authenticity and nonconformity – ideologies that I’ve lived by my entire career. It’s exciting to see a brand put so much heart into achieving real change and stand up to societal norms.  Fame looks a lot different today than it used to, and I’m proud to be a part of the new wave and partner with Logitech and inspire others to defy logic.”

In celebration of her Ecuadorian roots, Pop diva Christina Aguilera unleashed “La Fuerza” – her first Spanish project in more than two decades.

Released January 21, the six-song effort also came as the first solo EP of her career and soared to chart battle on the wings of singles “Pa’ Mis Muchachas” (featuring Becky G, Nicki Nicole, and Nathy Peluso), “Somos Nada,” and “Santo” (featuring Ozuna).

When not fielding critical acclaim from some of the industry’s top tastemakers, the opus was garnering praise from the diva’s dedicated fans (affectionately called #Fighters) whose fight to get her atop global sales tallies proved victorious (as we reported here).

Halfway through the set’s initial sales tracking week, industry analysts have revealed if her supporters can expect to see that triumph reflected on the Stateside album chart: the Billboard 200.
