Executive of the Week: Meet Darren Gilmore, the Canadian Manager Behind the Scenes of Hilary Duff's Chart-Topping Comeback

Working with artists like Mother Mother and Boy Golden, the president of Watchdog Management has used his veteran experience in the Canadian music industry to help orchestrate the comeback of the year so far with the No. 1 success of Duff's new album Luck... Or Something.

Hilary Duff is back, and her comeback is one of the best-executed in years — especially in Canada.

Her new album, Luck… Or Something, debuted last week at No. 1 on the Billboard Canadian Albums chart, a feat she hadn't achieved in more than two decades. Building on the buzz of her intimate show at History in Toronto earlier this year that had the whole country buzzing, she's now coming to 10 different Canadian cities on her Lucky Me World Tour in 2026 and 2027.
