Carjitsu Championship +535%

Carjitsu is a new and unique event that's been gaining popularity due to its innovative concept and viral videos. Think of it like MMA in the front seat of the family car. Showdowns started appearing on the official Carjitsu Championship channel over a year ago and the events have recently started to garner more interest. Brought to the public by the Pro League Network, which focuses on "inherently bettable sports," Carjitsu is one of many unique sports we anticipate them bringing to the masses.

#DieWithASmile +770%

Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars recently collaborated on "Die with a Smile," which has already accrued nearly 28M views on YouTube. The track peaked at number one on Spotify, Apple Music, and iTunes during its release week and fans have flocked to TikTok to share covers, parodies, and their thoughts on the duet. Interestingly, we're only a month away from the release of Joker: Folie à Deux, which features Gaga as the Joker's love interest, Harley Quinn, leading to speculation that the track may end up making an appearance in the movie.
 

Dominic Sessa +5,470%

Fresh off a supporting role in The Holdovers, an Academy Award nominated comedy drama, Dominic Sessa is reportedly set to portray Anthony Bourdain in the upcoming biopic, Tony. While this isn't the first film focused on Bourdain, this may be the most high-profile as A24 Films, the company behind hits like Everything Everywhere All at OnceUncut Gems, and Midsommar, is now involved in the project. Expectations are certainly high for Sessa given Bourdain's cult-like following and his recent critically acclaimed performance.
