There's no stopping Hollanov's momentum.

Heated Rivalry, the wildly popular queer hockey drama starring Connor Storrie and Hudson Williams, has taken the world by storm since its premiere in November. The Jacob Tierney-helmed Crave original (which airs on HBO Max in the States) has garnered hundreds of thousands of fans who have fallen in love with the show’s synchs and score, and they’ll soon be able to stream its official soundtrack, Billboard can exclusively confirm.

The Heated Rivalry original series soundtrack, crafted by show composer Peter Peter, will arrive on all platforms via Milan Records on Friday (Jan. 16). Fans can stream the set’s first two singles — the high-octane “Rivalry” and the tender “It’s You” — everywhere right now. Billboard can also confirm that a vinyl edition is in the works.
