Subtle Changes Are Coming To
What's In-Store Music
As we make our way through the first month of 2026, we can reveal that our New Year's resolution at What's In-Store Music is to freshen things up around here a little bit. It's in that spirit that we're pleased to announce the first of those changes to arrive. This year, we've decided to retire The Dance Environment Chart, currently published each week on All Access, to make room for the new and exciting What's In- Store Too Chart. This new chart reflects a thrilling addition to the exposure you've come to expect from us over the years through in-store play. What's In-Store Too will primarily highlight songs included in high-energy playlists used in several gym chains, the largest big-box store chains, as well as major department stores, restaurants, and entertainment centers. The chart debuts this week alongside our Current Chart on All Access. Both The What's In-Store Music Chart and What's In-Store Too will now be published on Tuesdays, to provide you with the most up-to-date information possible. To be a part of this chart, you'll need to select the tab "Submit for Gym Playlist + More" on our submission form, drop-down menu, or you can click below, and we will get things rolling for you.

"Sun & Moon"

"My song "sun & moon" is about an ex-partner or someone in your life that you care deeply about choosing to be with someone who is just like you but isn't you.

I wrote this song with the goal to come across as confident in myself but also an accurate storyteller. Instead of writing as someone who is heartbroken and depressed, I wanted to come off as confused that anyone could ever pick another person over me. because deep down I knew what I brought the relationship was real and meaningful.

We wrote "sun & moon" at a writing camp in Los Angeles and it really started to unfold when I brought it to Jeffery David (Echosmith, Zedd, Goo Goo Dolls) and Brandon Paddock (Avril Lavigne, Boys Like Girls). That is when the song came alive for me. They understood the emotional space behind it and helped me shape the story so it felt true to my voice."
