How it's used
This is a formal idiom that carries a sense of excitement and momentum, often used in professional or competitive contexts. While it describes a series of positive updates, it is rarely used in casual, everyday conversation between friends unless one is being intentionally dramatic or humorous. It implies a sustained period of success rather than a single lucky break.
Examples
The company has been getting good news lately, everyone is very happy.
Is there a constant stream of good news coming from the sports meet?
