Chartbreaker: Knox Is ‘Not The 1975’ — But He Has a Hit of the Band’s Caliber

Knox's 'Not The 1975' continues to grow as the pop singer-songwriter's breakthrough hit at radio. Meet Billboard's March 2024 Chartbreaker.

artist Knox was telling a friend that he had recently scored a major-label deal with Atlantic Records. “That’s cool, but you’ll never be Matty Healy,” the friend quipped.
