And huge, huge thanks to Amazon Music for including us on their Times Square billboard. 😍 If you're in NYC this holiday season, we'll be on the billboard at 1551-1555 Broadway (above the American Eagle store) until Dec. 28. Take a selfie with our logo in the background and share it with us. And happy holidays from all of us to you and yours! | Hidden
