Atlanta Strip Clubs Fuel Music Hits and Superstar Rises in 2025

As of October 14th, 2025, Atlanta's strip clubs have maintained their longstanding influence in shaping the music industry. For decades, these venues have turned relatively unknown songs into hits and helped launch the careers of many artists.

In August 2025, Billboard launched the debut strip club chart, which will continue to track the top-played songs in Atlanta's premier strip clubs each month. According to data collected by Billboard and DJ Monitor, a service that installs music-recognition technology in venues, Metro Boomin's A Futuristic Summa mixtape cuts have dominated the September 2025 chart, occupying the top four slots.

Other emerging artists making their chart debuts include PLUTO, Gunna, Belly Gang Kushington, and Real Boston Richey, while Atlanta heavyweights Jeezy and Future have also made the list. This data highlights the continued importance of strip club DJs in determining which songs and artists gain traction within the music industry.
