iHeartMedia has selected Måneskin frontman Damiano David as their latest "On The Verge" artist, promoting his solo single "Born With a Broken Heart" across three radio formats simultaneously - a first for the company.

The song will receive heavy rotation across iHeartRadio Contemporary Hit Radio (CHR), Hot Adult Contemporary, and Alternative Rock stations, marking the first time an artist has been featured across multiple formats in the program's history.

"Part of Damiano's brilliance is that he creates music that defies genres," explained Tom Poleman, Chief Programming Officer for iHeartMedia. "When our iHeart programmers first heard 'Born With a Broken Heart,' we knew it didn't fit into just one format."
