4 x-6- Anthny Ht 37 Billbard PUBLSHER HWARD APPELBAUM FNN EDTRALS CMMENTARY LETTERS The Trickle-Up Ecnmy Free Streaming sn't Prmtin -t's BY BEN PATTERSN Last year my cmpany DashG, a digital distributr that serves independent bands and labels, received a mnthly ryalty statement frm the nw -clsed nline music streaming service Spiral - Frg fr a pr -rata share f grss advertising revenue that was all t typical f revenue in this sectr: "Effective per - play rate: $0.000." That's three zeres, n the wrng side f the decimal. Fr an artist, that's,000 plays just t buy a 99 -cent cheeseburger- assuming it's a sl act that receives 00% f the ryalty. As a digital music service and marketing prvider fr indie artists and indie labels, test and talk t new digital music services weekly. Right nw, the nes that generate the mst attentin are the digital jukebxes that ffer a vast array f streamed sngs n demand fr free. Amng them are MySpace Music, Yu - Tube, imeem and LaLa; the shuttered Muxtape and Seeqpd; and Grve - shark, which EM recently sued. These free streaming sites, alive and dead, receive a lt f attentin, bth fr the simple and elegant way they deliver music and the way the fans believe they were ruthlessly squashed by music industry lawsuits. They cllect acclades fr helping artists and serving fans, while the wrld attacks the majr labels fr ripping ff artists, crushing innvatin and expliting a system f cpyright that is bund fr extinctin. But the situatin fr artists isn't always s black and white. The celebrated technlgy innvatins in digital music, frm free streaming services t file- sharing systems, ask t much f musicians and t little f cnsumers. Music pundits and mst technlgy blggers see the wrld the way radi prmters did in the '80s: They assume that any impressin is a win fr the artist. But the return n investment simply isn't there. The value is in the filter. Free streaming sites are nt curatrs. Giving away music t smene wh types the name f a sng int a search engine desn't create a new fan -it just fulfills existing demand. FR THE RECRD n a May stry, Nbuya Kitada, deputy GM f the Japanese Sciety fr Rights f Authrs, Cmpsers and Publishers, was misidentified in a phtgraph as Fair Trade Cmmissin investigatin directr Hir wanari. Distributin Credit the friend, blg r radi statin (nline r ff )fr intrducing the artist t the listener. The streaming service is just the delivery mechanism. Music pundits and technlgy blggers say that n- demand access t music is prmtinal -and that bands sell mre dwnlads, cncert tickets and merchandise by giving away music. But industry reprts shw that even ryalty - paying services like LaLa and MySpace Music aren't seeing sustainable rates f cnversin frm streams t dwnlads r ther sales. Revenue is demnstrating that streaming music desn't prmte a prduct -it is the prduct. Cncerts predate recrded music, and T- shirts existed befre the nternet. Selling cncert tickets and merchandise isn't the new mdel -it's the ld ne. Availability des nt equal prmtin. Lk at the avalanche f failed nline businesses and a self -evident truth emerges: Ad- supprted cntent isn't wrking. Nt fr advertisers wh pay remnant rates fr branded ads and still see n increased sales fr their prducts. Nt fr musicians wh take hme minuscule ryalties even when they wn their wn cpyrights. And nt even fr cnsumers wh are faced with shuttered sites they spent hundreds f hurs custmizing. Even iflabels gt tgether and created a single pwerful service -as NBC and Fx did when they funded Hulu -the winners wuld be large catalg wners wh can demand upfrnt catalg fees that dn't trickle dwn t artists, while indie artists and labels wuld be cmpeting fr plays at still -abysmal rates. Fr example, the knwledge that a band has 00 fans in Cleveland is wrthless if the grup in questin lives in Ls Angeles and faces a tw -day drive n $3- per- galln gas t get there. That's 6,000 streams t the galln at tday's rates. Bth artists and streaming services need t ask mre frm fans. Artists deserve the right t decide hw their music is distributed and hw they're cmpensated fr it. They shuld be free t give away their music and equally free nt t. 've wrked with great services that have demnstrated value fr indie artists. Amie Street's demand -based pricing sells ppular music fr mre mney, and fans can chse t buy hits r search fr inexpensive, undiscvered gems. Giving away music in exchange fr visibility in an editrial setting like Spinner r a game like "Tap Tap Revenge," where music is curated and limited, encurages fans t discver new music and then actually buy it. There are ther innvatins 'd like t see. Right nw, the shuttered Seeqpd is trying t sell its remaining assets, including users' e -mail addresses, fr $0,000. Why wasn't it sharing thse e -mail addresses with the bands that users signed up t hear? Fr fans wh prefer t listen annymusly, charge a subscriptin fee as Rhapsdy des. DashG is develping a shpping cart fr Twitter called TwTweet that allws fans t purchase music directly frm a band's Twitter messages using a credit card and PayPal. We're adding the ability fr artists t set discunts fr fans wh intrduce music t friends, s a fan wh re- tweets abut a band's music gets mney ff fr every fllwer that receives the message. We've already seen hw the nternet can disrupt traditinal methds f music distributin and discvery -ften t the benefit f fans and artists. itunes and Pandra stand ut. Nw it's time fr artists t ask fr value frm the ther services built arund their music, just as cnsumers, advertisers and (t few) venture capitalists d.

BY ED CHRSTMAN Sund f A Crescend Retailers See Sustainable Gains n Michael Jacksn Catalg As Sales Keep Saring As music fans cntinue murning the passing f Michael Jacksn, the resulting grief and reflectin is fueling a surge in sales that desn't appear likely t end sn. Retail surces say Sny Music Entertainment pumped abut millin cpies f Jacksn -related music prduct int the U.S. market during the week ended July. The replenished supply f CDs helped sales f the late superstar's sl albums sar t 794,000 cpies, up 88% frm the previus part- week's ttal f 4,000, accrding t Nielsen SundScan. U.S. brick- and -mrtar retailers enjyed a steady flw f prduct during the week, reflecting Sny's effrt t make almst daily shipments t each accunt. A dramatic shift in the rati f physical - t- digital sales f Jacksn's mst ppular albums suggested that the expanded physical supply was a key cntributr t the sales gain. During the week ended July, digital sales f the fur tp -selling Jacksn sl albums -"Number nes," "Thriller," "The Essential Michael Jacksn" and "ff the Wall " -accunted fr nly 6.8% f thse titles' ttal U.S. sales f 673,000 cpies. n the previus week, digital dwnlads accunted fr 6.4% f thse same albums' ttal sales f 343,000 cpies, accrding t Sund Scan. As impressive as that gain was, sme believe that physical sales f Jacksn's catalg still have rm t grw. Gt t be there: Fans gather t lay tributes t Michael Jacksn utside Lndn's 0 Arena. "This week [ending July ] may tp last week because retail is in better shape with Jacksn inventries," says the head f music purchasing at ne large chain. And the massive TV and nline audience fr the July 7 memrial service hnring Jacksn at the Staples Center in Ls Angeles, as well as cntinuing press cverage f legal wranglings ver his estate, are expected t lend sales a further bst. Meanwhile, digital track demand remained strng in the week ended July, albeit dipping slightly t. millin dwnlads in the United States, versus the.4 millin scanned in the prir week. Sny's Jacksn catalg, which encmpasses all f his pst- Mtwn recrdings, accunted fr the vast majrity f U.S. sales. Universal Music Grup's catalg f Jacksn and early sl Jacksn albums cntinued t reap far mre mdest results. During the week ended July, UMG's cmbined Jacksn album sales ttaled abut 4,000 cpies, while digital track sales reached 8,000. n July, UMG rush - released t stres a Jacksn bxed set called "Hell Wrld: The Mtwn Sl Cllectin," a three-cd cmpilatin f hits and rarities that had previusly nly been available thrugh its direct -t- cnsumer peratin Hip - Select. The title was riginally scheduled fr a July retail release. "Hell Wrld" sld fewer than,000 cpies in the United States during the week ended July and isn't expected t be a majr seller. But a new single -disc cmpilatin that was in the wrks befre Jack- sn's June death appears pised t resnate better with cnsumers, the result f a frtuitusly timed synch deal with State Farm nsurance. During the week ended July, the best- selling Jacksn digital track was "'ll Be There." t scanned nearly 0,0000 cpies, helped by State Farm's use f the sng in a TV ad that it began airing in May. The insurance cmpany began planning a new TV ad campaign in January with the ad agency DDB Chicag and cnsidered a variety f music ptins befre settling n "'ll Be There," accrding t the cmpany's assistant VP f advertising Mark Gibsn. "This sng meant s much t the verall campaign," Gib- sn says. "t's a timeless piece f music and frm a generatinal standpint, many [age grups] culd relate t it." Rather than license the riginal versin f the Jacksn hit, State Farm asked UMG fr a new remix that remved much f the instrumental backing t fcus attentin n Jacksn's vcals. "We felt that the stripped -dwn 'minus' mix gave an even extra level f emtin and matched up with the images shwing n the screen," Gibsn says. State Farm debuted the spt May 0 during the seasn finale f "American dl" and ran it until shrtly befre Jacksn's death. UMG was s pleased with the remix that it upladed the track t itunes June 9 and decided t prepare additinal stripped -dwn remixes f ther Jacksn and sl Jacksn tracks fr a new cmpilatin. UMG had three remixes in the can at the time f Jacksn's death, accrding t Universal Music Enterprises executive VP /GM Mike Davis. n the ensuing days, the label began remixing ther sngs, cming up with a ttal f tracks. "Michael Jacksn: The Stripped Mixes" debuted n itunes July 7, just a week- and -a -half after Jacksn's passing. A U.S. physical release is scheduled fr July. State Farm, which eventually expects t air the "' Be There" TV spt again, is streaming a versin f the ad n its Web site, accmpanied by a link t itunes t buy the track. "t has a deeper meaning nw that Michael Jacksn has passed away," Gibsn says. MBLE: Fr 4/7 news and analysis n yur cell phne. "' r mbile device, g t mbile.billbard.biz. JULY 8, 009

He was 77. Klein, whse career in the music business spanned mre than 0 years, first brke int the industry by aggressively auditing recrd labels n behalf f recrding artists wh weren't being paid prper ryalties. He went n t manage such heavyweight acts as Sam Cke, the Beatles and the Rlling Stnes. Knwn fr his hard -nsed business practices, Klein was blamed by sme fr cntributing t the breakup f the Beatles. thers remember him as a persn wh helped shape the mdern -day music industry. "Allen changed the business in the respect that he was fighting fr the underdg," says lngtime friend and music industry veteran Dn Kirshner. "He was fighting fr the prper ryalty cunt and he wanted [recrd cmpanies] t pay prperly. He was ne f a kind and an icnic figure." Brn Dec. 8, 93, in Newark, N.J., Klein wrked several jbs during his teenage years while attending classes in the evening, learning the basics f distributin while wrking at the Essex Cunty News. After graduating frm Upsala Cllege in East range, N.J., with a degree in accunting, Klein did a stint in the U.S. Army and then wrked as a clerk at the New Yrk accunting firm Prager and Fentn. Klein first brke int the music business after Kirshner intrduced him t entertainer Bbby Darin. " said, `Why dn't yu try accunting in the music publishing business?' And then intrduced him t all my acts," recalls Kirshner, wh served as an early mentr t Klein. " started him in the music business and shwed him the value f cpyrights and master recrdings. always tried t tell him that the key was the sng. And if yu had the sng and the artist, the recrd cmpany was basically yur distributr."

The tw sides declined t release financial details f the sale. The Nashville agency's funder David Breen and agents Dara Easterday and Rann Russell will remain with Wrd and have mved int the cmpany's Music Rw ffices. "nstead fjusthiring smebdy and starting t bk inhuse," Wrd Entertainment C Rd Riley says, "we chse t acquire a cmpany with a rster f 30 -plus artists because the mmentum we culd bring in -huse with David was very attractive t us." The deal is part f Wrd's effrts t becme a full- service Christian entertainment cmpany, Riley says. The acquisitin f the Breen Agency cmes three years after Wrd Entertainment launched a merchandising divisin t handle the design, prductin and sale f artist -branded merch like T -shirts and hats. "What we're ding at Wrd is ffering active slutins thrugh merch, e- cmmerce and nw the bking side," Wrd Entertainment president/ CE Mark Bright says. "We're saying t an artist, `Yu can cme in and we'll prvide a slutin.' " Breen says he had been lking fr a partner that culd help grw his agency. Jining frces with Wrd "really ffers an pprtunity fr grwth thrugh their resurces and relatinships in a time when a lt f agents can't put 00* `They assured me that they lved what had built and just wanted me t cntinue.' -DAVD BREEN, THE BREEN AGENCY mney int marketing and can't put a lt f fcus n grwth," he says. "t was exciting fr me t branch ut, and they assured me that they lved what had built and just wanted me t cntinue." New Wrd signings will have the ptin f being represented by Breen and his staff, but the agency wn't represent Wrd acts exclusively. "We did nt lse ne artist in the transitin and since then, 've had meetings with fur ther artists wh are nt Wrd artists that are interested," Breen says. Wrd was funded in 9 as a recrd label specializing in Christian music and thrugh the years has grwn t encmpass several divisins including Wrd Distributin, Wrd Music Publishing and Wrd Label Grup's Wrd Recrds, Fervent Recrds, Canaan Recrds and Myrrh Recrds. Warner acquired Wrd Entertainment in 00 frm Gaylrd Entertainment fr $84. millin, and later that year Curb Recrds acquired a 0% stake in Wrd. Wrd Entertainment's varius labels are hme t such acts as Diamnd Ri, BarlwGirl, Mark Schultz, Randy Travis, Big Daddy Weave and Francesca Battistelli. Sme f Breen's clients are already part f Wrd's rster, including purenrg, Sidewalk Prphets and the Dve Award -winning Pint f Grace, a tri that includes Breen's wife, Shelley. "As a Wrd artist fr ur entire career, we are very excited abut the immediate synergy created by this mve," Pint f Grace's Denise Jnes says.

8 'l'a= 3_30AM) V PR G MACHNE RECRDS/ LRY MUSC SDENT /CE Sctt Brche Taylr Swift's label chief explains why he's launched a new imprint with Universal Republic. When Sctt Brchetta signed then -- year -ld Taylr Swift t his fledgling Big Machine Recrds label in 00, the frmer DreamWrks Nashville executive ignred the prevailing view that teen acts dn't wrk in the adult- riented cuntry frmat. Nw, Brchetta is fluting cnventinal wisdm again, partnering with Universal Republic president /CE Mnte Lipman t frm Republic Nashville (billbard.biz, June ). t's Brchetta's third new business venture in less than fur years, a bld mve at a time when the recrding industry is in the midst f a histric cntractin. Brchetta launched Big Machine, whse rster als includes Trisha Yearwd and Jack ngram, in September 00. Tw years later, he started Valry Music, signing Jewel t d her first cuntry album, "Perfectly Clear," which debuted at N. n Billbard's Tp Cuntry Albums chart. After scring a N. cuntry single in September with Jimmy Wayne's "D Yu Believe Me Nw," Valry signed superstar Reba McEntire, wh had just ended her -year assciatin with MCA. At Republic Nashville, Brchetta has reunited with Jimmy Harnen, a frmer senir VP f prmtin at Capitl Recrds Nashville wh had wrked with him at DreamWrks. Brchetta is the new imprint's CE, with Harnen serving as president. Brchetta has even stepped ut frm behind the scenes t becme a judge n CMT's "Can Yu Duet." n an interview with Billbard, he talks abut his new ventures and Swift's breakut success. Why are yu expanding when ther labels are trimming back? Universal, Mnte Lipman in particular, and myself have been trying t find a way t d mre business tgether. He's been my partner n the tp 40 /crssver side [ fr Swift's recrds]. wasn't lking t take n anther label. [But thught] if culd get smebdy that culd trust and that knew culd d the jb and wh was the right persn, then maybe we culd cmbine this mmentum and this interest and have anther pprtunity. S spke t Jimmy [Harnen] abut it and he's like, "My Gd, that is the nly mve 'd cnsider making right nw." He was very happy at Capitl. t all carne tgether. Yu had a great thing ging with Big Machine, s why add a secnd label? Why add a third? Let's start with Valry. At that mment fr Big Machine, we had Taylr [Swift] just starting t take ff big, Jack [ngram] has been n the radi nnstp, Trisha [Yearwd] had a recrd ut, Garth [Brks] had a recrd ut, Danielle [Peck] had a recrd ut. There was n way we culd have been able t wrk with Jewel and me have t say t Jimmy [Wayne] and Justin [Mre], "Yu gt t wait, and 'm nt just talking anther mnth, yu gt t wait anther six mnths." And there was an pprtunity fr me t get [prmtin executives Jn] Lba and [Chris] Lss, and then suddenly [prmtin executive Gerge] Briner became available. S that launched and it gave us the pprtunity t get Reba [McEntire] t put her frnt and center and let her be the flagship fr Valry. 've gt s much pride in what's happened fr Valry in the first year- and -a -half. Then why anther [label]? The chance t get Jimmy [Harnen] and the chance t satisfy ur cnversatins with Universal makes all the sense in the wrld. With Jimmy, he and always have had psitive sparks with the things that we d. Hw will Republic Nashville differ frm Big Machine and Valry? We have the additin f the pwer f New Yrk's team. t expands ur universe f knwledge and pprtunity. They have a very healthy nline /new -media staff that will be wrking with us. We'll be utilizing the publicity ffice n the street in New Yrk, we have backrm pprtunities, we have mre marketing musde. Being in business with them expses us t a lt fthings that nly [majr] labels have access t. t's hpefully the best f all wrlds. Swift has dne very well in the United Kingdm and Australia. s there ptential fr mre cuntry artists t d well utside the United States? We get really small when we dn't think bigger abut the rest f the wrld. T begin with, there's a lt f business in Canada. Yu dn't have t g all the way t Australia t sell anther quarter f a millin units. Canada is a fantastic market. There's a great scene in Australia and there's a nice supprt system there. t's a big place and yu sell a small amunt f music, but the bigger pprtunity is building up a turing base. When Taylr ges back, hpefully in 00, it's likely that she'll be able t play arenas. She's nt the rule. She's an anmaly. "Lve Stry" has been N. in territries as a pp hit. But if yu ask Brks & Dunn r Dierks Bentley r Gary Allan, wh have been ver there in the last year- and -a -half, think they'd all tell yu that Australia is a great market. The U.K. -is there a big cuntry market ver there? N. s there a big music market ver there? Hell, yes. When we launched Taylr ver there, we didn't hide the fact she still wre sun dresses and cwby bts, we didn't g ver there and say she's a rck act r a pp act r anything else. We just said, "Here's this great, yung artist. She's a media magnet, and we think yu're ging t like her." And they fell in lve with her. Swift's 008 album, "Fearless," has had strng digital sales, but verall, cuntry music still lags behind ther genres. What des cuntry have t d t accelerate digital sales? think they are accelerating. We sell a lt f tracks. Reba's selling a lt f tracks all f a sudden. We've always been an lder -age demgraphic target, s with the success f Taylr and ther yung artists that are family artists... the parents becme mre aware. And the itunes experience in particular is a great music experience. And what Verizn des n the turing level fr Taylr, fr Keith Urban, that's the Cadillac right nw t get that pwer n yur tur. They have a mbile recrding bus that Taylr has used t cut n. Taylr is at 7 millin tracks sld at itunes. Jimmy Wayne's "D Yu Believe Me Nw" is almst at 300,000. Yu're ging t see a lt mre gld- and platinum -selling singles. f yu can sell a quarter f a millin singles and yu're still ding a quarter f a millin albums, that pays fr yur [single] campaign. Selling a cuple hundred thusand dwnlads a week -fr a small cmpany like us, that's significant. Where are yu in terms f Swift's "Fearless" album, and where d yu see it ging? f haven't said it yet tday, thank Gd fr Taylr Swift. We're just hitting ur stride. We may g as deep as six singles n this. We're ging t catch up t her first album, which is at 4. [millin]. t's nt utside the realm f pssibility that by the end f the year, r at sme pint within the next mnths, we're ging t be lking at 0 millin albums sld befre we get t album three. When we launched Taylr [in the United Kingdm], we didn't hide the fact she still wre sun dresses and cwby bts... We just said, `Here's this great, yung artist.' 8 BLLBARD JULY 8, 009

RETALERS DN'T EXPECT T BE N A CELEBRATRY MD VER YEAR- END MUSC SALES BY ED CHRSTMAN While retailers expect that music sales will be better during the Christmas shpping seasn than the rest f this year, mst are still anticipating a case f the hliday blues. "Last year was such a bad Christmas fr music sales, that if we can't tp that, then we've gt a serius prblem n ur hands," says a purchasing executive at a retail chain wh asked t remain annymus because he isn't authrized t speak abut sales prjectins. The executive expects yearend sales t be up frm last year, which wuld be the first time since 003 that furth - quarter U.S. recrded -music sales haven't psted a year -nyear decline. But that's ne f the mre ptimistic frecasts. thers say they assume year -end recrded -music sales will slide in line with the rest f 009, when year -t -date sales have drpped 4.% frm the same perid last year, accrding t Nielsen SundScan. A strng release schedule culd help slw the decline. High -prfile releases expected this fall include albums by Jay - Z, 0 Cent, T -Pain, Lena Lewis and Shakira (see page ). But merchants and distributin executives say it's t early t assess the impact f this year's slate. CHRSTMAS "verall, [U.S. CD sales] are dwn abut 0% this year," says Universal Music Grup Distributin president /CE Jim Urie. "t may get better due t a strng release schedule, but it wn't prvide a majr imprvement." Mst industry executives say the distressed ecnmy, weak CD prfit margins and the increasing displacement f physical music prduct in brick- and -mrtar stres by ther entertainment prducts will make it difficult fr hliday sales t remain steady ver last year, much less shw an upswing. The CF at a leading retail chain says that while he expects sme U.S. ecnmic indicatrs t shw imprvement in the fall, "it will be 0 befre we see any serius spending ut f cnsumers, and it wn't be at previus levels." The wild card is U.S. mn- etary plicy, accrding t the executive. "f they dn't fcus n strengthening the dllar, wrry that hyper- inflatin will kick in," he says, adding that hpes fr a near -term ecnmic recvery will be dim if the dllar is nt strng and freign investrs start pulling ut."

"f the ecnmy gt better, it wuld help things," gilvie says. ther prblems include tightening trade credit, declining marketing funds and slwing prduct turns, accrding t the president f a retail chain. "The music industry has kept trade credit n an even keel, but the ther ancillary prduct lines have increased credit restrictins," he says. "n the ld days, we culd sell a deep catalg title in six mnths, but nw we need a year, which creates financing needs in rder t be able t carry the prduct fr a lnger perid f time."

Since retailers have t maximize grss margin prfits, that means that they have t factr in hw lng it takes t sell, he says, cautining that chains will be very cnservative with their music budgets in the furth quarter. These issues will cntribute t a further shrinking f the music ftprint in many stres, the chain CF says. Making matters wrse, DVD sales have been much weaker this year, retail executives say. But they are divided n whether the pr sales have been due t a weak schedule and tugh ecnmic cnditins r a secular decline in the DVD frmat's ppularity amng cnsumers, many f whm have already stpped buying CDs. Whatever the answer, DVDs have supplanted music at the frnt f mst hme entertainment superstres, thanks t aggressive marketing by film studis. This year, studis are being just as aggressive with DVD catalg, merchants say. But they may be backing ff frm releasing big DVD titles clse t Thanksgiving weekend, due t fears f a pssible price war, says a Wall Street analyst wh fllws mvie studis. The analyst ntes that intensive prmtinal pricing last year led t a pricing battle, triggered by pressure frm big -bx retailers n the studis t prvide them with unusually large prmtinal budgets. Alliance Entertainment president Alan Tuchman says he assumes that flr space dedicated t music will cntinue t dwindle right thrugh the hliday shpping seasn. "The labels have made it very clear t me that they want t manage the CD dwn... because they fear it is cannibalizing ptential digital sales," he says. "The labels see it as a declining business and will n lnger invest in it" beynd the big -bx merchants. But Tuchman says labels shuld view the CD as a different business frm digital dwnlads, and ne that targets a different demgraphic. f the labels lk at it frm that perspective, and cut prices and invest in ther music merchandisers, then the CD can be incremental business fr them, he says. "Christmas depends n hw much real estate we have left," Tuchman says. "We dn't see much f a change in pricing frm the label side... s we think music will cntinue t fade. By Christmas merchants will have a much smaller music sectin, s am nt bullish." DYU HEAR WHAT HEAR? NEW DGTAL, MBLE MUSC SERVCES WLL VE T DELVER HLDAY CHEER BY ANTNY BRUN While itunes cntinues t dminate the digital music market, a number f new services expected t g live by this hliday seasn culd help diversify hw fans access music nline. ne f the mre buzzwrthy f the new sites is Sptify, an n- demand streaming music service that's already ppular in Eurpe. Like ther streaming sites, it subsidizes free music with advertising. But the key t Sptify's success in the United States will lie in its ability t persuade sme f its users t subscribe t a mnthly service withut ads. Central t this upsell will be giving paying custmers access t dwnladable mbile applicatins that will enable them t stream music n an Apple iphne r a handset using Ggle's Andrid platfrm. nternet radi streaming services like Pandra, Slacker and Clear Channel's iheartradi have all launched ppular iphne apps, but they dn't let users pick specific sngs t listen t. Sptify's app, which wuld enable n- demand streaming, has the ptential t shake up the mbile music market. Anther new service is Nkia's Cmes With Music, which ffers a ne -year music subscriptin with the purchase f select music phnes, enabling users t dwnlad as many tracks as they like during the curse f the year and keep the sngs even after their subscriptin expires. The ffer has been a tugh sell s far in Eurpe, but Nkia says it will apply what it has learned in ther markets t its U.S. launch. Als expected in time fr the hlidays is a revamped Prject Playlist, which is striking majr -label licensing deals. n its riginal incarnatin, the playlist- building and -sharing service simply streamed music hsted n ther sites acrss the nternet, much f it illegally. Prject Playlist is nw cnverting t a hsted mdel, armed with the assets f Ttal Music, which it acquired earlier this year, and licensing deals it has reached with Sny Music Entertainment and EM Music. While Universal Music Grup and Warner Music Grup haven't drpped their cpyright infringement lawsuits against the cmpany, surces say negtiatins with these hlduts are at an advanced stage. MTV c- funder Jhn Sykes, wh in April was named Prject Playlist's CE, desn't intend t use any unlicensed cntent. nce it has signed up all fur majrs, the relaunched service will include links t buy individual sngs, a premium subscriptin tier and ther enhancements. Amid all this activity, the iphne will maintain its prminence. New apps are expected t cme ut later this year t take advantage f new features that Apple has made available t develpers -such as the ability t add recurring charges r sell cntent frm within a given app. Selling custm cntent within the app itself will prvide artists and labels anther ptentially valuable sales platfrm. Already, music -based iphne games like Tapulus' "Tap Tap Revenge" and EpicTilt's "TapStar" let users buy new sngs fr use within thse respective games, thanks t licensing deals with Universal and Sny. Cme Christmas, they're sure t be jined by thers lking t get in n the hliday festivities. JULY 8, 009

The band is still yung but its rad t success has been lng. "We started wrking with Hayley when she was 4," says ne f Paramre's managers, Mark Mercad. "She was 4, Jsh [Farr, guitar] was 6, and Zach [Farr, drums] was 3." Pretty much everyne invlved with the band agrees that it wuldn't be where it is tday withut the benefits f the degree deal the act signed with Jhn Janick's Fueled by Ramen label. The band signed the deal in April 00, befre "360" was an industry buzzwrd, and attracted a flurry f cverage when it started t sell mre recrds in 007. And while the band's success will surely nt end the debate abut the cntract mdel, its lng, slw, but ultimately fruitful trajectry des help the case f thse wh argue that 360 deals allw a band t grw and develp rganically. THE LNG RAD Janick had a feeling abut Paramre. The first time he saw it play the rck festival Taste f Chas in Flrida, he wasn't immediately taken with its music, but he was sld n the band's visin. "The first time saw them, they had these really pppy sngs, but culd tell it wasn't really what they wanted t d," he says. "t's like, yu knew where they wanted t g, but they weren't quite sure abut hw t get there. But even thugh they were very yung, culd see there was smething special there, and culd lk dwn the rad and see them playing much bigger venues." Janick signed the band t a deal that nt nly included recrded music but an interest in turing, merchandising and fan club fees. The band's ther manager, Dave Steunebrink, pints ut that "everyne talks abut the 360 mdel like it's this brand -new cncept, but in reality, indie labels have all develped thrugh being 360 cncepts frm the get -g -and when yu lk at it, thse were the labels that really allwed bands the rm t grw and develp." Paramre put ut its first album, "All We Knw s Falling," in the summer f 00. The album went n t sell 437,000 cpies, accrding t Nielsen SundScan -far frm a failure, but certainly nt a smash. During the summer f 00, the band played the Shira Girl stage n the Vans Warped tur, a secnd stage that was s secndary the bands had t tear it dwn themselves at night and rebuild it the next day. Janick says Paramre wasn't paid fr its appearance n the tur, but it allwed the members t wrk n their live shw and build a supprt base. They stayed n the rad fr mst f 006, playing em package turs and again playing Warped, having mved up t the Vlcm and Hurley stages -nt the main stage, but at least a stage that was assembled by a crew and nt a drummer. "We were building them up as we were ging alng, s it was a gd strategy fr us t g ut and supprt peple and build ur base and get peple frm ther band's bases," Janick says. "t wasn't always easy t get peple t take them ut, because they were s yung and still nt a knwn cmmdity, but we wanted t psitin them t be thught f as a turing band." When the band released "Rit!" in June 007, it entered the Billbard 00 at N. 0 and sld 44,000 cpies in its first week, accrding t Nielsen SundScan -nt a flp, but again nthing t indicate the band was pised fr bigger and better things. But Paramré s nnstp turing was beginning t pay ff in ther ways -it was getting tractin at MTV and scred a spt n the Warped tur's main stage. By the fall f 007, the band had tw singles n the Mdern Rck chart, and the album was steadily climbing the Billbard 00. The singles were selling well, t: "Misery Business" has sld.6 millin dwnlads t date, and "Crushcrushcrush" has sld 986,000 cpies. "There were a lt f similar -sunding bands getting big at that time, like Panic at the Disc and My Chemical Rmance, but they were all male- frnted," says James Mntgmery, rck editr at MTV. "When Paramre first came up, peple were saying, 'Yu have t see this girl with the bright red hair.' She's a firecracker." The band was als making in -rads at retail thrugh a partnership with mall staple Ht Tpic (see stry, page 4). "We presented 'Rit!' t them right befre it came ut, and they gave us sme cl pprtunities," Williams says. Paramre partnered with the stre t create prmtinal hangtags n exclusive T- shirts prir t the release f "Rit!" Custmers culd dwnlad exclusive digital cntent nly when they purchased the T- shirt; the cntent was redeemable nline thrugh unique cdes n each T- shirt's tag. The band set up specially priced music and merch bundles with Ht Tpic where custmers can purchase a Paramre T -shirt and an album fr a discunted, "bundle nly" price f $0. The relatinship with the retailer has grwn since then. T prmte its cntributin t the "Twilight" sundtrack, Paramre did an in- persn appearance with the film's cast and a live perfrm- JULY 8,

14 JULY ance in Ls Angeles that Fueled Uy Ramen and Ht Tpic put tgether. Custmers had t purchase "Twilight " -inspired band T -shirts in rder t gain entry t the perfrmance. While sme claim the 360 mdel limits what a band can d with its merch, Paramre's success with Ht Tpic demnstrates this isn't always the case. Since Ht Tpic has played such an integral rle in the band's develpment, it begs the questin -why nt just sign a direct deal with the retail utlet? "n this day and age yu need multiple partners," Mercad says. "Ht Tpic has been great, but if yu're talking an exclusive partnership r anything like that, almst think it wuld slw things dwn." And slwing dwn, fr Paramre, isn't an ptin. The band finished 007 n the rad and spent mst f 008 in its bus, crssing the cuntry and the wrld. BRAND -NEW DAY As 009 dawned, Paramre std atp the charts as part f the "Twilight" sundtrack. The band's invlvement in the hysteria -prvking vampire flick was a direct result f Williams' lve fr the sapy series f nvels n which the mvie is based. " gt all the bks fr Hayley t take t Lndn with her, because 'd been hearing s much abut them," Janick says. "These lthings are huge; thught they wuld keep her ging fr a while. And a week later she called me and said that she abslutely had t d a sng fr the mvie. think she said she read the first bk n the plane, and she just devured them. We sat dwn with Atlantic and [music supervisr] Alex Patsavas and made it happen." "t was ut f the blue fr us," Williams says. "And then the next thing we knw, 'Decde' [frm the sundtrack] was charting really high n itunes and the sundtrack went platinum. S they gave us plaques fr 'Twilight.' Then it went duble -platinum, s they had t change the plaque. We were kind f like, 'Really? This is awesme!' " The track has sld 80,000 dwnlads, accrd- The Magic AtThe Mal Even fr bands that tur nnstp, maximizing merch during the ff -seasn can be tricky. Paramre wanted t make sure fans culd buy a T -shirt r wallet with its lg year -rund and struck a deal with the retailer Ht Tpic t supply exclusive cntent in exchange fr prime placement. Fr the band's new album, CD singles fr the track "gnrance" are being sld at all Ht Tpic stres and bundled with an exclusive Paramre T -shirt at a "bundle nly" price. The band als is wrking with the stre t prduce exclusive 7 -inch vinyl picture -disc recrds, timed t cincide with each single's release at radi. The recrds will feature new singles as they're released, as well as rare bnus tracks. Paramre previusly has partnered with Ht Tpic t release merch, frm shirts t hats t bks. The Paramre "Tur Bk," sld in cnjunctin with last year's Final Rit tur, included handwritten ntes frm the band members, individual prfiles, exclusive tur phts and a list f the names f fan club members wh attended meet -and -greets during the tur. n additin, a knckff f the hat that singer Hayley Williams wre in the "Decde" vide was sld exclusively thrugh Ht Tpic and the band's Web stre. -CH ing t SundScan. And while the band's "Twilight" track hit the bull's -eye with the teen market, Para - mre's camp knws that the band will have t put in plenty f wrk fr the new album. The grup is currently n the rad, pening fr N Dubt and trying ut new material. "We're playing tw new sngs, 'gnrance' and 'Where the Lines verlap,' " Williams says. "ur fans knw all the wrds t them, s they're singing alng and having a gd time every night" But the carefully chsen pening slt is mre than a chance fr Paramre t test ut sme new tunes. "'ve learned that there is a much bigger audience fr Paramre than had previusly thught," Janick says. " went t the shw at PNC [Bank Arts Center in Hlmdel, N.J.] n Friday and went t the shw Saturday [at Lng sland's] Jnes Beach. t's a different crwd because yu have N Dubt -they were huge abut years ag, and their cre audience is a little lder. t was massive; it was prbably between and 0,000 peple." `T FEELS LKE WE'VE GRWN UP A LT, BUT THERE'S STLL THE SAME CRE. AND LKE THAT, BECAUSE WE ALWAYS WANT T PRGRESS AND GET BETTER.' Accrding t Billbard Bxscre, shws n the tur frm May 6 thrugh June 7 have grssed $7,343,609, with a ttal attendance f 96,40. f shws during that perid, three were sld ut. " just culdn't believe the entire crwd knew nt just the singles, but knew the ther sngs ff the recrds," Janick says. "When yu g t a Paramre shw, it's nnstp frm beginning t end -3,, 6,000 peple singing every wrd t every sng because it's their cre fans. But then g t this N Dubt shw where Paramre's pening, and the majrity f the peple there still knw the sngs. Yung kids, teenagers, peple in their 0s and 30s, they Frm tp: 'Decde' knckff beanie, Paramre hdie, Paramre purse and the Final Rit 'Tur Bk' all get this band." But while the N Dubt crwd might pint tward a strategy f inclusin in Paramre's marketing plan, Atlantic c- chairman /C Julie Greenwald pints ut that the main targets will cntinue t be Paramre's yung base. "Yu need t remember there are 0 millin teenagers in this land," she says. "When we hit. millin albums sld, there were bviusly a lt mre peple n the nternet that streamed ur music, listened t ur music, maybe stle ur music, whatever. think, hpefully, peple have gtten t knw Paramre nw and will make the leap and buy the album, and think that's ging t expand it. dn't think need t g find a 40- year -ld wman r a 40- year -ld man t expand my base." Fr her part, Williams als thinks ging t a whle new crwd wuld be a mistake. "The new recrd still sunds like Paramre," she says. "t feels like we've grwn up a lt, but there's still the same cre. And like that, because we always want t prgress and get better. At the same time we dn't want t alienate ur fan base." "gnrance," which Williams says bridges the gap between "Rit!" and the new album, will serve as the first single. The sng mixes the mre gthic elements f the band's "Twilight" track with the hwling that was s prevalent n "Rit! "; it's been characterized as a breakup track. MTV's Mntgmery says that he sees Paramre's new album as the MySpace generatin's versin f Fleetwd Mac's "Rumrs." "When mentined that t the band, they laughed, because they tld us that's what they were ging fr," he says. "With less drugs, f curse, -HAYLEY WLLAMS and withut the rmantic entanglements. But it's definitely a breakup recrd n sme level." Williams als says that the album was a way fr her t wrk thrugh Paramre's smetimes -public feuding, including ne argument that led t a string f canceled tur dates. "t was tugh fr me t say sme f the things say in it, because knew sme f the guys were ging t hear it, and it was abut ur band," she says. " was kind f embarrassed and didn't knw hw they wuld take it. But nce all thse wrds were ut n the table, it gave us the pprtunity t hash thrugh ur prblems and internal struggles that we had been facing. At ne pint we were hanging n by a little piece f thread. We had t rebuild things and we're still rebuilding things. This recrd is a lg f that." Janick says that fr "Eyes" the band will sell a T -shirt and CD single thrugh its partnership with Ht Tpic and will fllw up with a 7 -inch and anther T -shirt a mnth later. There will be three versins f the album: a standard album, an album with five acustic bnus tracks and a deluxe package with a pster, DVD and clr vinyl that will sell fr $ The band's Web site, Paramre.net, will relaunch, and the band will sht a vide fr "gnrance." And then, f curse, the band will g right back ut n the rad. "We're ging t start ff playing smaller venues than nrmal,,00- t 3,000 - seaters in 0 U.S. cities in the fall," Mercad says. r, as Williams puts it, "Even if the recrd desn't sell anything, still want t g ut and knw can play fr kids every night.", Additinal reprting by Mitchell Peters. 4 BLLBARD 8, 009

15 FURTH AND GAS As the final quarter appraches the stars will hit the field: There are dueling divas (Mariah Carey, Whitney Hustn), lvely Latin ladies (Shakira, Nelly Furtad) and the biggest names in rap (0 Cent, Dr. Dre and Jay -Z, at least ne f whm will have an album cme ut). Lk clser, and yu'll als see that the traditinal playbk has been thrwn ut: Pearl Jam is releasing an album n its wn label, Alice in Chains has a new singer, and the nce -unknwn "American dl" finalists may beat them all. But whether yu've gt mney n Lena Lewis r Adam Lambert, ne thing is certain -the industry wuld lve t clse ut the year with a tuchdwn. BY CRTNEY HARDNG SEPTEMBER MARAH CAREY, `MEMRS F AN MPERFECT ANGEL' (sland Def Jam, Aug. ) The multiplatinum singer says the album's title reflects hw "each sng is almst an intimate cnversatin r entry in a private diary. A lt f the sngs reflect a different time in my life than where am right nw, inspired by actual events in my life, mvies r stries frm my clse friends." Carey calls the album a tribute t the late R &B singer Minnie Ripertn, whse wn multictave range was "s influential in my singing style." "bsessed," the first single, already set anther recrd fr the singer: ts debut at N. n the Ht R &B/ Hip -Hp Sngs chart marked Carey's best bw n that list in 0 years. n additin t the -Dream ( "We lve having fun with lyrics ") and Tricky Stewart ("ne f the mst underrated majr prducers "), wh wrte and prduced mst f the album with Carey, she wrked with Jermaine Dupri and Timbaland. NGRD MCHAELSN, `EVERYBDY' (Cabin 4 Recrds /riginal Signal, Aug. ) Tw years after her sphmre album, "Girls and Bys," charmed critics and received a sptlight n "Grey's Anatmy," ngrid Michaelsn returns with a new batch f lvably quirky tunes. "Everybdy," set fr release n the singer /sngwriter's Cabin 4 recrd label, takes advantage f Michaelsn's knack fr wrdplay by fcusing n the pssessive pwer f a relatinship. While the jyful title track shuld delight fans f her breakut single "The Way Am," intrspective sngs like "The Chain" channel the sft -spken pwer f Jni Mitchell ver swelling arrangements. BLK JKS, `AFTER RBTS' (Secretly Canadian, Sept. 8) After an EP attracted the attentin f the indie label Secretly Canadian, the fur - piece band BLK JKS (prnunced "black jacks ") left its native Suth Africa in January and headed fr Blmingtn, nd., t recrd its debut. The band says it put its Jhannesburg rts frnt and center as it crafted a cllectin f dub -based prg rck tracks. Fllwing the success f American acts influenced by African rhythms, such as Vampire Weekend and Ra Ra Rit, "After Rbts" marks the culminatin f the trend, with sngs like "Lakeside" and "Mlalatladi" ffering spastic percussin and multilingual vcal chants. JAY -Z, `BLUEPRNT 3' (Rc Natin /Atlantic Recrds, Sept.) n the eighth anniversary f the release f the first "Blueprint" album, Jay -Z will release his th studi album, "Blueprint 3," n his new venture between his wn Rc Natin label and Atlantic Recrds. Althugh details are scant, Jay -Z says the album was prduced by Kanye West and himself, with added prductin frm Timbaland and N.D. t will have 0-4 tracks, and, unlike 00's mre sulful "The Blueprint," the new effrt will have a mre classic sund. "The peple f my generatin like the Ushers and the Kanyes and the Justin Timberlakes are becming all thse artists that we lked up t -the Marvin Gayes and the Sinatras," he says. "The music is new and fresh, but apprached it in a classic sense." While it is t early t say wh will make the final cut, Jay says he has cllabrated with MGMT, Kid Cudi, Drake, Rihanna and Mr. Hudsn. MUSE, `THE RESSTANCE' (Warner Brs., Sept.4) Muse's 006 studi set "Black Hles and Revelatins" sld almst 3 millin cpies wrldwide, but Jhn Reid, the Lndn -based CE f Warner Music U.K. and Cntinental Eurpe -and ne f the few BLK JKS JULY 8, 009

16 peple t have heard the album -says the fllw -up will d even better. Recrded at singer Matt Bellamÿ s hme studi in Cm, taly, the self - prduced set retains the U.K. band's penchant fr heavy guitar rck, saring falsett - pitched vcals and grandise rchestratin, Reid says, but is "mre ambitius" in scale and scpe. Bellamy has said "The Resistance" is heavily influenced by classical music, while Reid describes it as "a big rck recrd with electrnics and strings." A track listing isn't yet cnfirmed, althugh the band annunced thrugh Twitter that the sng "United States f Eurasia" wuld appear n the recrd. DAVD GRAY, `DRAW THE LNE' (Mercer Street /Dwntwn, Sept. ) After a fur -year hiatus, the British singer /sngwriter David Gray is back with a new set, his first n the indie label Dwntwn Recrds. Gray waited until after he finished recrding t sign a label deal. " feel cmpletely bulletprf with this," he says "t shines the light n facets f me as a perfrmer, a writer and a singer that haven't perhaps illuminated as brightly enugh fr a lng time." The album retains the slw, melanchly, atmspheric tne he set n earlier albums, best represented n the lvelrn pian track "Fugitive." Elsewhere, "Nemesis" tells the stry f a man fighting with himself, while "Draw the Line" exhrts the narratr t take a stand. Annie Lennx guests n "Full Steam Ahead," and Jlie Hlland lends vcals t "Kathleen." MNSTERS F FLK, `MNSTERS F FLK' (Shangri -La, Sept. ) After turing tgether and dubbing their run the Mnsters f Flk tur, Cnr berst, My Mrning Jacket's Jim James and M. Ward decided t head t the studi and lay dwn a cllectin f cllabrative tracks. "There's lts f harmny and lts f sngs where we trade verses," James says. "t's pretty fun fr us t get in that beginner's [ frame f] mind again. Yu can feel a lt f that energy n there -trying t keep the wheels frm flying ff the cart." James als credits prducer Mike Mgis with mixing the three diverse vices tgether. Standut tracks include "Dear Gd (Sincerely M..F.)," which recalls early - '80s adult standards radi and the cuntry -tinged "The Right Place." The harmnies n "Man Named Truth" sund straight frm the " Brther, Where Art Thu?" era, and "Magic Marker" is a stunning and tragic prtrait f an alienated yuth. FVE FNGER DEATH PUNCH, `WAR S THE ANSWER' (Prspect Park Recrds, Sept. ) The metal band Five Finger Death Punch's July 007 debut, "The Way f the Fist," tk a mighty whack at the charts, with its catchy riffs and brutal lyrics resulting in three Mainstream Rck hits and a late -breaking Billbard 00 peak at N. 07 in August 008. The teaser track "Burn t Dwn" frm "War s the Answer" uphlds the snic fury f "Fist," while the band als delivers a lean cver f Bad Cmpany's "Bad Cmpany." "We wanted t d a diverse recrd where every sng shuld have a balance f meldy and heaviness," guitarist Zltan Bathry says f FFDP's debut. "We didn't really want t change anything n the secnd album. We wanted t keep the balance f all that [because it was nw ur sund]. We just wanted t d an even bigger prductin." LYFE JENNNGS, `SNER R LATER' (Jesus Swings /Asylum/ Warner Brs., Sept. ) Lyfe Jennings says his first prject fr Asylum /Warner Brs. is his "greatest album and als my last." He says he needs t play a bigger part in the lives f his three children and wants "t spend the majrity f my time writing and develping ther artists" thrugh his imprint, Jesus Swings. But befre he ges, he's leaving fans with a new album that's mre uptemp, but cmparable t his three prir Clumbia releases, which centered n life and relatinships. Jennings cllabrated with prducers Plw Da Dn, Mari Webber and the Trackbyz, the last f whm prduced the album's first single, the midtemp grve "Haters." n discussing the sng's theme, Jennings says, "'m just letting the haters ut there knw that they can waste their time hating n me. But 'm nt abut that. Everything is still all right with me; 'm mving frward." Guests n "Sner r Later" include Keyshia Cle, Ludacris, Anthny Hamiltn, Fablus and Bbby Valentin. NELLY FURTAD, `M PLAN' (Universal Music Latin, Sept. 9) Nelly Furtad's previus Spanish- language albums have included duets with Juanes and Calle 3. She's charted twice n the Ht Latin Sngs tally, nce with her Juanes duet and nce with her hit "Prmiscuus." Fr her new all- Spanish album, she's cllabrating with Jsh Grban, pp /reginal Mexican star Alejandr Fernández, trpical star Juan Luis Guerra, alt -pp singer/ sngwriter Julieta Venegas, Spanish rapper Mala Rdriguez and jazz- flamenc act Cncha Buika. Alex Cuba, a Cuban singer /sngwriter living in Canada, c -wrte the saring, high -energy first single, "Mans Al Aire," with Fur - tad and James Bryan. "Mi Plan" was executive -prduced by Andres Reci and prduced by Furtad alng with Cuba, James Bryan, Dem Castelln, Lester Mendez, Salaam Remi and Michael Anthny. ALCE N CHANS, `BLACK GVES WAY T BLUE' (Virgin, Sept. 9) Alice in Chains hasn't released a full- length album f new material since its self -titled 99 effrt, but listening t the frthcming "Black Gives Way t Blue," it feels like 4 years never passed. Singer /guitarist Jerry Cantrell, bassist Mike nez, drummer Sean Kinney and singer /guitarist William DuVall ( filling the psitin f late vcalist Layne Stayley) have kept AC's drning guitars, sludgy undertnes, dark lyrics and harmnized vcals intact. Regarding the band's new dynamic, Cantrell says, "Things have changed. Yu have t figure ut where everybdy wrks. 'm having t step up a lt mre vcally, and [William and ] are kind f mre f a team. dn't think either ne f us shuld be viewed as the lead singer f the band. We kind f bth make up ne." MRANDA LAMBERT, `REVLUTN' (Clumbia Nashville, Sept.9) Despite having sld a cmbined ttal f.8 millin cpies f her first tw albums, Miranda Lambert desn't feel like she's brken ut just yet. But she has high hpes fr her frthcming effrt. "t will be my biggest album - mean, yu never knw cmmercially hw it will d and dn't want t jinx it -but fr me and fr making statements and being creative and ging ut f the bx, this is my biggest prject s far," she says. Lambert, wh famusly sang abut burning her byfriend's huse dwn ( "Kersene ") and waiting fr an abusive mate with her gun ccked and laded ( "Gunpwder & Lead "), says the new album will be less abut revenge and mre abut the maturity that being in a stable relatinship brings. "t's mre grwn up," she says. "t's nt s chip -nyur- shulder and crazy. t's me all the way, but it's me at, versus 8 r 9." Her first single, "Dead Flwers," which Lambert wrte sl abut a dying relatinship, has an alt - cuntry feel, while "The Huse That Built Me," ne f the few sngs she didn't write, finds the singer visiting her childhd hme in hpes f easing her current pain. THE CLPSE, `TLL THE CASKET DRPS' (REUPGang /Clumbia Recrds, Sept. 9) Fr its third album, the Clipse nce again paired with the Neptunes, as well as cllabrated with Khalil (wh prduced three tracks) and Sean C and LV. "Ppeyes," featuring Cam'rn, with a chrus f, "That new CL is fly /utside f Ppeyes /Eating chicken and fries," ver a lping, pian- based, drum -heavy prductin, is a perfect example f the hard - kncking street tracks that have becme its stck in trade. The bell -laden "Shwing ut," featuring Drake; "Champin," with Travis Barker n drums; the mtivatinal "Life Change "; the single "Kinda Like a Big Deal" featuring Kanye West; and the chpped and screwed lead single "Eyes n Me," with Keri Hilsn, als appear n the album. 0 CENT, `BEFRE SELF DESTRUCT' (G-Unit/Aftermath/nterscpe, September TBD) 0 Cent has delayed his "Befre Self Destruct" album a few times during the past year, but nw that Eminem's "Relapse" has finally been released, the G -Unit frntman is set t present his furth 6 BLLBARD JULY 8, 009

CTBER LUKE BRYAN, `DN' MY THNG' (Capitl Nashville, ct. 6) Luke Bryan's debut album, which sld 47,000 cpies, accrding t Nielsen Sund - Scan, and spawned the tp 0 hits "All My Friends Say" and "Cuntry Man," established his reputatin as a new cuntry traditinalist. His secnd finds Bryan, wh returned t the studi with c- writer /prducer Jeff Stevens, trying t tp it.

Beating The Hliday Blues NDES BEEF U P THER FURTH -QUARTER RELEASE SCHEDULES Fr years, indie -label calenda rs lked smething like this: Rll ut big releases at the first f the year, cntinue thrugh the spring, taper ff in the sum mer and then sit ut the final three mnths f the year. n the days when physical r etail dminated music sales, majrs cntrlled the furth qua rter, spending a frtune pushing blckbuster releases and buy ing up prime real estate in recrd stres. C -p prgrams jacked their rates sky -high and small( r peratins were frced ff t the side while hliday shppers snapped up hit albums. But as dug thrugh rele, se schedules fr indie labels during the cur se f the last few weeks, nticed a trend -ind ies are starting t regard the furth quarter as jt ist anther cllectin f pssible release dates, nt a blackut perid. And while assume the s hift frm physical t digital was the primary dri ver f this change, the labels and distributrs spke with say t was nly part f the equatin. The fact that many frmel majr -label acts are nw ging the indie rute is a majr fact r, accrding t Missi Callazz, c- funder /president f MR The bands we were putti ag ut five years ag wuld have perished in the furth quarte r," she says. "But nw indies are getting bigger bands and big ger releases, and it has really leveled the playing field. find hat frmer majr -label artists d well in the furth quarter." Callazz says that M R is planning t release albums by Anthrax. Living Clur and Carly Simn after August this year. Jack Pnti, wh funded Mervingian Music, says he never believed that the furth quarter was ff limits t indies. "f yu put ut gd recrds, it desn't matter when yu release them," he says. "Fr me, it's abut an album being ready t g and the mmentum being strng. Radi is the primary driver fr the new Sunstreak album we have cming, and there is n way we culd g t radi in late August and then hld the album until 00." Kanine Recrds wner Li Cerez says that he als relies n a band's timeline t set release dates. "Bands take a lng time pulling tgether these recrds," he says. "They spend the spring and summer turing and then finish their albums in the fall and want t get the music ut quickly. A lt f indie kids aren't paying attentin t these big releases anyway, s it's nt like we're cmpeting with the majrs in that respect." Besides, the cmpetitin frm the majrs isn't as stiff as it used t be. " wuld say that in general it is easier t cmpete with the majrs in the furth quarter because there just isn't as heavy as a schedule in years past," says Jsh Wittman, mar- keting directr at Redeye Distributin /Yep Rc Recrds. "Retail is still very expensive but nt at the levels it was several years ag. Fr mst labels they dn't necessarily think abut cmpetitin at retail when they release recrds." But many labels dn't see the mve tward digital as a saving grace fr indies. "Cmpetitin fr digital space is mre saturated than ever befre, s dn't think that factrs int the equatin at all," Wittman says. Dminic Pandiscia, senir VP /GM f EM Label Services and Carline Distributin, says that rapid grwth in the digital space has led t sme f the same prblems indies had with physical retail. "We've seen the verall number f releases increase, which has led t many f the same real estate challenges as befre," he says. Grwth in the digital sectr has led ne indie -label services prvider t view its release schedule in a new light. "We have a different agenda when it cmes t digital sites," says Kevin Day, funder f Rcket Science. "Labels that hld back are missing a huge pprtunity. Think f hw many kids pen up new ipds r Zunes r gift cards n Christmas mrning. t's a great time t release new music because they're dying t fill up their new gadgets and yu can get right in frnt f them." 8 BLLBARD JULY 8, 009

21 Sleigh Bells Ringing CHRSTMAS- THEMED ACTS PREPARE T HT THE RAD There it sits n Billbard's midyear turing chart, perched at N. 0, between Metallica and Fleetwd Mac. N, it's nt just anther rck band. t's the hliday tur veteran Trans -Siberian rchestra. With an annual grss f abut $0 millin and yearly attendance f millin frm tw turing units, TS has becme a bna fide arena headliner that's a perennial amng the tp turs f the year, despite the narrw time frame f its turing seasn (Billbard, Dec. 3, 008). S wn't be alne plying live audiences with a ne -f -a -kind spin n hliday music. Mannheim Steamrller, anther WME client, will be n the rad again, as will Radi City's Christmas Spectacular, the king f Christmas shws, which last year launched a turing arena prductin. The hliday -themed turing business has been a cnsistently slid perfrmer. Artists wh have released successful Christmas recrdings in the past, such as Martina McBride, Kenny Rgers and Jsh Grban, are in demand every De- cember. Then there are lcal cncerts, charity events and radi shws, such as the multi- artist Jingle Ball cncerts staged by tp 40 statins KS -FM Ls Angeles and WHTZ New Yrk. Despite the recessin's impact n cnsumer spending, tw things bde well fr live hliday entertainment events in 009: First, the cncert business in general has held up quite well, and secnd, peple might give up a lt f things, but they wn't give up Christmas. Cnventinal turing wisdm dictates that similar shws, either by genre r target demgraphic, try t achieve days' prtectin within a radius f a few hundred miles, cntractually if pssible. But the limited windw fr hliday- themed turs -rughly, Thanksgiving thrugh New Year's Day -makes radius clauses impractical. Helping t alleviate such risks is the fact that peple wh want t see the Rckettes usually differ frm thse wh enjy TS's brand f symphnic rck'n'rll, althugh yu can't always cunt n such generalizatins given the far -reaching ap- peal f hliday music. "Yu've gt t lk at everything in the marketplace at that time," says Marc Geiger, head f cntemprary music at William Mrris Endeavr and the agent respnsible fr TS. "Santa at the mall, even the cllege bwl games. We lk at the whle marketplace f furth -quarter hliday -based entertainment. Everybdy des their best t stay ut f each ther's way and nt purpsely be cmpetitive." Geiger says the market fr live hliday entertainment is grwing, and the evidence suggests that he's right. Creative Artists Agency, fr example, is ruting hliday turs like tbymac's Winter Wnder Slam with Relient K and special guests Stephanie Smith, B. Reith. Chris Tmlin, Family Frce and Jeff Dunham. And the Christmas Spectacular, prduced by Madisn Square Garden Entertainment, remains a blckbuster at its hme venue f Radi City Music Hall, taking in $7 millin fr its run, accrding t Billbard Bxscre.

22 `ra,l. r Re] =7 The Ghst f Christmas Past U.K. RETALER S LK T FLL THE VD LEFT BY WLWA THS BY TM FERGUSN LNDN -The U.K. music market is facing up t its first Christmas withut "the Wnder f Wlwrths." That tag line prmted the retail giant until it fundered last December and finally clsed all its stres in January -leaving the music business withut 800 stres that had traditinally been key seasnal gift - buying destinatins. Fr retailers like the U.K. music market leader HMV, Christmas 009 nw represents "a tremendus pprtunity t try and win ver frmer Wlies' `nce -a -year' gifters," HMV head f music Rudy sri says. Last year, the simultaneus cllapse f the Wlwrths- wned whlesaler EUK als meant key albums frm Take That and Britney Spears were in shrt supply at EUK clients like mass merchants Asda and Sainsbury's, as well as the music specialist Zavvi, which als flded in January. Hwever, sri says, "it was evident custmers still wanted t buy and gift CDs -we saw strng vlumes n titles like Take That." n 008, Wlwrths accunted fr 8% f all album purchases by value, accrding t the BP, which means a cnsiderable slice f the market is up fr grabs. Ttal album sales last year were wrth millin ($.3 billin), dwn.7% frm 007. Earlier this year, Entertainment Retailers Assn. directr general Kim Bayley suggested that nnspecialist retailers culd step in and "mp up thse sales" (Billbard, May 9). But as yet, n such white knight has appeared. "Peple in the fashin and discunt retailing businesses have lked at it," ERA spkesman Steve Redmnd says, "but nbdy's jumped yet. They've been put ff by lw margins, the pssibility f high shrinkage and difficulty f maintain- ing stck withut the apprpriate staff." Hwever, Redmnd adds, " can't believe that in [the furth quarter] there wn't be peple wh decide t stck a small selectin f impulse buys." HMV, which the BP says accunted fr 4.% f album purchases in 008, is stepping up t the plate. Althugh unwilling t reveal figures, sri says the chain has enjyed sme f its strngest sales this year arund Valentine's Day, Mther's Day and Father's Day. "We've been fcusing mre f ur marketing and in -stre campaigns n the calendar gifting events at which Wlwrths was s strng," he says. The challenge is nw t hang n t thse gift buyers in the vital furth quarter. BP figures shw that the average retail price f a CD fell t 7.3 ($.30) in 008. "n the shadw f recessin," sri says, "the 0 [$6.40] entertainment gift has a chance t grab a much greater share f the gifter's purse." Accrdingly, sri says HMV's advertising in the furth quarter will be family- riented in tne and media placement. HMV is clearly "fixed n attracting the Wlies cnsumer," says Steve Keresley, managing directr f Prper Music Distributin, which distributes sme 400 labels. "[But] it'll be interesting t see if they r the supermarkets win that market. The jury will be ut until Q4." Amng ther U.K. mass merchants with a large share f album sales, Tesc (0. %) didn't return requests fr cmment and Asda (7.3 %) declined t cmment. Amazn als declined t crn - ment, but Keresley suggests the nline market leader has benefited frm Wlwrths and Zavvi's demise. "Fr us," he says, "where retailers have shut, the business has pretty much all transferred t the nternet - primarily Amazn." But, with key releases frm Lena Lewis and Arctic Mnkeys n the hrizn, nt t mentin the much - anticipated reissue f the Beatles catalg, sri remains ptimistic. "The prduct will be ut there this Q4, that's fr sure," he says. "Cnsumers may still be cautius this Christmas, but they als knw what tremendus value music represents -and we're cnfident they'll respnd." A Christmas Resurrectin? HGH RATNGS THE RETURN C FR TS HLDAY SPECALS SPUR CALLS FR F `TP F THE PPS' BY ANDRE PANE LNDN -Three years after the BBC canceled "Tp f the Pps," it's still likely t be the mst -watched music shw n U.K. TV this Christmas. The weekly chart cuntd wn shw's final bradcast n July 30, 006, ended a 4 -year rt fr an institutin that had becme a glbal brand. Yet "T n TP" lingers n, with strng ratings fr its seasnal special s fueling calls fr its return as a weekly shw frm industry i n siders like Simn Cwell. But in ctber 008 the BBC reb uffed his ffer t buy the rights and air "TTP" n rival bra dcaster TV. "Bring it back," says Kevir McCabe, VP f prmtin and press at EM's Parlphne la b el, calling the annual Christmas editin a "great prmtinal platfrm." The BBC initially annun c ed it wuldn't prduce a 008 "TTP" Christmas shw, trigg ering prtests frm the music industry and the U.K. media. T h e public bradcaster ultimately relented t ppular demand, airing tw year -end hliday specials featuring Cldplay, Take That, Lena Lewis and the Pussycat Dlls. McCabe says the 008 rat ings shwed that "with the cr - rect scheduling, it culd easily be a hit again as a weekly shw." Accrding t BBC viewers hip data, the "TTP" Christmas special drew an audience f 3.7 millin, 30.6% f all viewers in its time slt. A Dec. 3 year -in- review shw attracted 4. millin viewers, fr an audience share f 0.8 %, while a March 009 special during the "Cmic Relief" telethn- featuring asis, U and Fl Rida- attracted 6.7 millin viewers (3 %). Althugh far belw the shw's '70s peak f 9 millin viewers, the audience ttals substantially utstripped the millin viewers it averaged in 006. Nw, U.K. prmtin veteran Dylan White claims t have,000 signatures n an industrywide petitin t revive "TTP" fr an early evening slt, including U.K. chart -tppers Dizzee Rascal and Calvin Harris and Sny Music U.K. chairman /CE Ged Dherty. S far, the BBC remains unmved, althugh head f music entertainment Mark Cper expects the Christmas special t return and says that a year -end review shw remains a pssibility. Cper describes "TTP" as "a great ld brand that's drmant, but isn't dead." The 008 shws, he says, were great. "The talent really turned up, and [the shws] felt like they belnged in their places in the schedule. t's great t be reminded f a year in pp, and it's all hits." Hwever, he cautins, prducing hliday specials is different frm prducing the shw "in the third week in February when yu're n the third singles frm a cuple f [artists'] albums." Rbbie Williams' manager David Enthven at the Lndn -based ie: music wuld welcme the shw's return, saying it's "a huge brand and it was fantastic fr Rbbie." Hwever, he favrs rewrking its frmat t be less reliant n the singles cuntdwn. But EM's McCabe believes the shw's traditinal fcus n hit singles culd make it "mre relevant than ever," nw that digital tracks dminate the singles market. That has "revitalized" the fficial Charts C.'s listing, White says. "Yu have a [genuine] 'Tp f the Pps' artist each week." While Cper says he wuld "lve t make [ "TTP "] again," he adds, "That desn't mean enugh f an audience are cmmitted t it fr it t wrk as a weekly shw." Lcal versins previusly aired in five Eurpean markets, New Zealand and the Middle East. Salim Mukaddam, head f cmmercial affairs in the music divisin at the bradcaster's cmmercial arm, BBC Wrldwide, says, "We're talking t sme f the prducers and bradcasters wh did [thse shws] abut tailred versins fr their territries." Practically, hwever, a U.K. versin f the shw wuld have t return t prduce cntent fr bradcasters unlikely t regularly attract internatinal talent t their wn studis. Mukaddam says internatinal partners are hankering fr the weekly shw's return. "f [ "TTP "] came back tmrrw," he says, "they wuld take it." Additinal reprting by Mark Sutherland in Lndn.

23 Watered Dwn AUSTRALAN FESTVALS PRTEST PRPSED ALCHL RESTRCTNS BY LARS BRANDLE BRSBANE, Australia -December Dwn Under marks the start f summer and the festival seasn -but festivalgers lking t escape the heat with a cld beer this year may be in fr a surprise. Festival prmters in the nrtheastern state f Queensland are up in arms ver anti -binge drinking prpsals frm the state gvernment's ffice f Liqur, Gaming and Racing that culd cnfine drinking t designated areas, set limits n cnsumptin and even ban serving full- strength beer. The new regulatins -which d nt require apprval by parliament and culd be implemented as early as this mnth -wuld affect festival brands including the Big Day ut, Gd Vibratins and the V Festival, which all usually stage events in the state. The LGR says it is respnding "t grwing cncerns f excessive alchl cnsumptin and unacceptable alchl - fueled behavir at cmmunity events, especially thse targeted at yung adults." But while many prmters acknwledge the need t address such prblems, there's widespread cncern that the crackdwn culd damage the lcal festival circuit. Failure t cmply with the guidelines culd see an event denied the necessary permit. "My cncern is that we're becming verregulated," says ne Queensland prmter, wh asked t remain annymus. "The alchl crackdwn is just anther factr wrking against us. They'll kill it if they keep ging." The mves cme at a time when the Australian festival circuit is ding rbust business. Accrding t Live Perfrmance Australia, festivals sld 73,000 tickets in 007, steady n the previus year, generating $6.9 millin Australian ($ millin) in revenue. While that figure was dwn $9.6 millin Australian ($7. millin) frm 006's bumper year, surces clse t the rganizatin say that 008 figures will shw a mdest rise in ticket sales and a huge leap in revenue, due t higher ticket prices. n a submissin t the LGR, Creative Festivals Entertainment, the rganizer f the all -ages Big Day ut festival, warned that the prpsed alchl limits might mean it can n lnger affrd t stage the traveling event in Queensland. "n the lng term," the festival's rganizers say, "ticket sales will be affected, impacting ur ability t maintain a cmmercially sund event and damaging the event's reputatin, brand and gd will." Big Day ut's 009 event, held Jan. 8 at Gld Cast Parklands, featured Neil Yung, the Prdigy and Arctic Mnkeys and was a,000 - capacity sellut. Prmters als warn that festival rganizers culd face tens f thusands f dllars in additinal csts t enfrce the alchl regulatins and that the new rules culd trigger a sharp decline in bar receipts, which can accunt fr mre than 0% f ttal revenue at sme events. Many als believe the measures culd prve cunterprductive, encuraging fans t drink heavily befre arriving. Jam Music, the rganizer f February's Gd Vibratins festival n the Gld Cast, surveyed its 0,000 -plus Queensland member base t get feedback frm drinking -age festivalgers. Mre than 90% f respndents said they wuld be mre likely t cnsume alchl befre attending a music festival if these cnditins were put in place, while 9% felt they were respnsible enugh t self -regulate their drinking. "The cnditins shuld nt be applied statewide," Gd Vibratins directr Jane English says, "but shuld be judged n the experience and expertise f the event rganizers and ther relevant cnsideratins." While the LGR says it will take accunt f all submissins befre finalizing the regulatins, many believe a clampdwn is inevitable -and nt just in Queensland. "Binge drinking is a real prblem," says Bill Hauritz, rganizer f December's 0,000- capacity Wdfrd Flk Festival in sutheast Queensland. " expect these srts f slutins will [cme in] wrldwide. Unfrtunately, we've gt a culture which celebrates getting pissed." - Watered dwn: A festivalger at January's Big Day ut at the Adelaide Shwgrund. The seasn fr salsa: VCTR MANUELLE Silent Night LATN CHRSTMAS ALBUMS STRUGGLE T FND AUDENCES Mst Latin Americans and U.S. Hispanics are Cathlic, s yu'd expect Christmas albums t be a natural fit fr the Latin music market. And yet, the track recrd fr Christmas album sales in the U.S. Latin market has been pretty dismal. With the exceptin f Luis Miguel's 006 album "Navidades," which has sld 4,000 cpies in the United States, accrding t Nielsen SundScan, n ther Spanish -language Christmas album has cme clse t cracking the 00,000 -unit mark. (Glria Estefan's "Christmas Thrugh Yur Eyes" has sld 874,000 cpies since its 993 release, but it's in English.) Christmas albums can be a challenge in any genre because labels have a narrw windw t prmte and sell their releases. But the challenges are even greater in the Latin market, given the difficulties in securing radi airplay and the limits f having nly three majr Spanish -language TV netwrks. "Fr a label it makes n sense t release a Christmas - nly album because they Latin Ntas LELA CB dn't sell enugh t cver the csts," says Tny Mren. GM f the indie J &N and MP Recrds. During the last several years prminent Latin artists have released Christmas albums that failed t find an audience. Raphael's 004 album, "Vuelve Pr Navidad," has sld nly abut,000 cpies in the United States, while Jn Secada's "The Gift" (00) and the Christian star Marcs Witt's "Tiemp De Navidad" (004) have sld nly 3,000 apiece, accrding t SundScan. "t's like a duble -edged swrd," says Pedr Guzmán, directr f A &R fr Universal Music Latin. "Christmas is s traditinal that it's very difficult t create new classics r new trends." Mren takes it a step further. "Yu need standard repertire and standard acts," he says. The sales f Miguel's " Navidades" set, which includes Spanish -language versins f "Have Yurself a Merry Little Christmas," "Santa Claus s Cmin' t Twn" and ther seasnal favrites, seem t suggest that traditinal sngs wrk best. But smewhat surprisingly, the Latin genre that has enjyed the mst recent success with Christmas sngs is trpical music, fueled perhaps by the prevalence f carnivals thrughut Latin America arund Christmas time. Fr example, the salsa star Gilbert Santa Rsa's 008 set, "Una Navidad Cn Gilbert," has sld 9,000 cpies in the United States, accrding t SundScan. Victr Manuelle's "Navidad A Mi Estil," released in 007 and rereleased in a deluxe editin in 008, has sld 49,000. Sny planned its release and prmtin f "Una Navidad" arund Santa Rsa's hectic turing and recrding schedule. "t wrked because we started very early n in the prcess," says Ruben Leyva, managing directr f U.S. Latin fr Sny Entertainment /Day. Leyva adds that Santa Rsa als had a histry f recrding successful Christmas dance tracks with the likes f El Gran Cmb de Puert Ric, s there was a track recrd in the genre. "The stuff we've seen that wrks the best is dance -riented, trpical music," he says, nting that markets where Latin Christmas releases seem t d best are typically Puert Ric, Miami and New Yrk, where Christmas dance parties are mre cmmn. But even Leyva cautins that releasing Latin Christmas albums "desn't wrk everywhere." And with verall Latin music sales declining sharply in the United States (Billbard, July ), the likelihd f Spanish -language Christmas albums finding a significant audience-r even being released -is diminishing. "t was always risky [t release a Christmas album]," Mren says. "But nw it's highly imprbable." JULY 8, 009 3

" haven't really given my vice a rest," says the singer, exasperated and still recvering frm a December 008 surgery that remved a cyst frm his vcal chrds. " went t a vcal therapist wh said have t whisper s that dn't put stress n my vice bx, but 'm nt ding it. There's n way." t's easy t excuse Saprta fr disbeying dctr's rders. The 9- year -ld and his bandmates- Ryland Blackintn, Alex Suarez, Victria Asher and Nate Nvarr -have bigger cncerns. Their third album, "Ht Mess" (Decaydance /Fueled by Ramen /Atlantic Recrds), will be released Aug., and their new single "Gd Girls G Bad," which features "Gssip Girl" actress (and recent Universal Republic signee) Leightn Meester, is climbing the Billbard Ht 00, where it's N. 36 this week. Cbra Starship's secnd album, 007's "Viva La Cbra!," has sld 9,000 cpies, accrding t Nielsen SundScan. t slidified the teen fan base that the band first attracted with its 006 album, "While the City Sleeps, We Rule the Streets," as well as Saprtá s previus band, Midtwn. Nw, the grup wants t keep the mmentum ging. "The thught prcess fr this album was t stick with hw we built the band and appeal t the fans," Fueled by Ramen president Jhn Janick says, "and als t make sure we have sme great sngs that wuld wrk fr radi. We're trying t balance all that ut." The band wrte sme material n the rad last year but felt that the sngs weren't gelling. n January Saprta and his band - mates hled up in a rented huse in rural Pennsylvania t flesh ut the sngs withut distractins. " was like, 'We've gt t get away frm here and be a band fr a little bit, let these sngs cme t life,' " Saprta says. "t was kind f like a science lab." The sngs that emerged frm that reclusive writing sessin, and subsequent studi wrk with Kevin Rudlf and Kara Di- Guardi, aren't unlike the tracks n the band's first tw albums. "Ht Mess" features mre anthemic dance -punk with bmbastic lyrics, and Saprta pints t the title track and "Nice Guys Finish Last," which features a hrn sectin, as evidence. But he als says that ne sng, "The Scene s Dead; Lng Live the Scene," is intrspective, as the frntman addresses his rle as a shwman. " started Cbra with the intentin f having it be fun and nt heavy," Saprta says, "but this album is definitely mre revealing n a persnal level than any ther C bra recrd." T set up the release f "Ht Mess," Cbra Starship leaked the track "Pete Wentz s the nly Reasn Why We're Famus" in April, then hit the rad with Fall ut By thrugh May. t als launched a new Web site in April, CbraCam.tv, where a new "episde" premieres every Mnday until the album's street date. The clips, which garner 80,000-00,000 views each and are als available as free pdcasts n itunes, range frm behind -thescenes tur antics t scripted sketches, like a fake cmmercial fr a new fragrance called Deliciusness. "We started t get a really gd respnse frm kids, s we thught, 'Let's just keep ding it fr as lng as we can,' " says lead guitarist Blackintn, wh has taken the lead n cnceptualizing the vides. Alng with "Ht Mess," plenty f exclusive Cbra Starship Yu knw yu lve them. CBRA STARSHP cntent will be available in the cming weeks.

As is n surprise fr a band with sng titles like "Snakes n a Plane (Bring t)" and "Kiss My Sass," Cbra Starship isn't wrried abut lsing any street cred ver its cllabratin with Meester. "ur real fans knw already that lve 'Gssip Girl,' " Saprta says. "t's nthing new. That's been the pint f Cbra Starship frm the beginning.

28 JULY AU3LJ VS, LEVN HELM Electric Dirt Prducer: Larry Campbell Dirt Farmer /Vanguard Release Date: June 30 Much like Bb Dylan's "Tgether Thrugh Life," Levn Helm's "Electric Dirt" is less a cllectin f sngs than a fully frmed little wrld. A sprightly, wrthy sequel t 007's Grammy Award - winning "Dirt Farmer," which represented Helm's remarkable cmeback frm thrat cancer, "Electric Dirt" is pegged t stries f the land and its attendant details. t's driven by Helm's warm, amazingly rich mnshine vcals and decrated with bluesy guitar sprinkles, angelic vilins and lvely harmnies by his daughter Amy f the flk - rck utfit 0abelle. The album's pener, a hardscrabble cver f the Grateful Dead's "Tennessee Jed," wuld be wrth the ticket price alne. But Helm als stretches the scpe f his previus album, including a jyus revival number ( "When G Away "); a swelling, gspel- kissed tale f a farmer's struggle ( "Grwin' Trade "); and an Allen Tussaint -arranged cver f Randy Newman's "Kingfish. " -JV KLLSWTCH ENGAGE Killswitch Engage Prducer: Brendan 'Brien Radrunner Recrds Release Date: June 30 The Massachusetts metalcre band Killswitch Engage wants fr neither talent nr fans. But the band's new album (and secnd self -titled set) reveals that it culd use a helping hand t intrduce sme diversity t its sngwriting. Strangely, the first -time presence f an utside prducer (Brendan 'Brien) results in an album that's business as usual instead f the grup being encuraged t stray frm its established strengths. As an act that frsakes breakdwns and unintelligible screaming in favr f fcused aggressin and predictable meldic swells, yu can't help but enjy such quintessential Killswitch Engage tracks as "Never Again" r the Metal - lica -esque chrds that pen "The Frgtten." But aside frm a few unique mments ( "The Return," "Take Me Away "), there's nt much new t reprt here. -CT AMERCANA JHN MELLENCAMP Life Death Live and Freedm Prducers: Jhn Mellencamp, MAXWELL BLACKsummer'snight Prducers: Hd David, Maxwell Clumbia Recrds Release Date: July 7 The adage ges: Time gne, time lst. But fr R &B singer Maxwell, wh has been n a hiatus frm music since 00, it's as if he never left. Full f heart- punding meldies and true -t -life lve stries, "BLACKsummer'snight" is the first installment f a trilgy by Maxwell. ver xylphne and guitar riffs, the lullaby -like lead single, "Pretty Wings," finds the Brklyn native belting, " had t set yu free, t see clearly /The way that lve can be when yu are nt with me." n the humanitarian "Fist Full f Tears," he pleads atp marching band drums, "Help me be the helping hand /And make a dream cme true." ther tracks include "Cld," abut a cld- hearted lver; "Lve Yu," n which Maxwell pleads fr his lady t let him lve her ver an rgan -like grve; the inspiratinal "Help Smebdy"; the jazz- tinged "Stp the Wrld "; and the secnd single, "Bad Habits," a midtemp track with big hrns and layered vice -ver. "BLACKsummer'snight" is a testament that Maxwell hasn't lst a beat. -MC Mike Wanchic Hear Music Release Date: June 3 Recrded live in 008, "Life Death Live and Freedm" is a cmpanin piece t Jhn Mellencamp's acclaimed "Life Death Lve and Freedm." That said, "Live" stands n its wn. The eight - sng album is an hnest -tgdness testament t Mel - lencamp's lngevity, artistry and ability t cnnect with his audience. When "Live" was being recrded, the tunes were new t the audience, which respnds enthusiastically nnetheless. "Lngest Days," with its stripped -dwn acustic guitar and trademark Mellen - camp grwl, is raw and real. n fact, the album wasn't verdubbed r tweaked in any way - smething exceedingly rare these days when it cmes t s- called "live" sets. But we wuldn't expect any less frm Mel - lencamp. ther highlights include the driving "f Die Sudden," "Trubled Land," "Dn't Need This Bdy" and "Yung Withut Lvers," which turns int a crwd singalng. -KT VCK YHE Reveal Yur Glry -Live Frm the Cathedral Prducer: Kendall Duffie Shanachie Entertainment Release Date: June 30 E"Reveal Yur Glry - Live Frm the Cathedral" represents a cuple f firsts fr the gspel artist Vicki Yhe: t's her debut album fr Shanachie (fllwing tw releases n CeCe Winans' PureSprings label) and her first live CD. Recrded at Wrd f Family Wrship Cathedral in Atlanta, this cllectin perfectly captures Yhe's sulful vice and cmpelling presence. Fr believers lking t lse themselves in a wnderful wrship experience, this is the next best thing t being in a pew. "The Lrd s Gd" kicks ff the prject with an upbeat urban edge. "Cntinually" is a high - energy praise sng. "Because f Wh Yu Are" finds Yhe reprising ne f her prven hits. And the ptent ballad "ne Mment," featuring special guest Anthny Evans, is an album highlight, as is the prayerful "'m Nt Asking fr Anything." The VCENTE FERNÁNDEZ Neccesit De Ti Prducer: Manuel Cázares Sny Music Release Date: July 7 Fllwing the extrardinary success f his 007 studi set "Para Siempre" and the subsequent live album "Primera Fila," the ranchera icn Vicente Fernández returns t the studi with "Neccesit De Ti." With the title track standing at a relatively mdest N. n Billbard's Reginal Mexican Airplay chart, ne might feel tempted t dwnplay the album's ptential. But pretty much anything Fernández releases sells. n this case, after teaming with fellw singer Jan Sebastian, wh wrte and prduced his past album, Fernández turns t the sngwriting skills f Manuel Tscan and Manuel Mnterrsas. The album has a feeling f bittersweet lve that alternates in tne frm the crning fund n "Me Tienes Mimad," t the uptemp, almst danceable twirl f guitars, trumpets and strings f the title track. The latter sng is a cntemprary take n traditinal mariachi, but verall this album is vintage Fernández, shwcasing an entreating signature vice that can infuse a single track with dynamics and nuance. Fr particular pignancy, listen t "Camin Al Ciel," a sng abut a successful sn wh nw yearns fr the father and mther whse dreams he wasn't able t fulfill in life. -LC cmbinatin f Yhe's strng vice backed by the Cathedral chir makes fr a memrable live recrding that ranks high amng the best wrship albums issued this yea r. -DEP JNAS BRTHERS Lines, Vines and Trying Times Prducer: Jhn Fields Hllywd Recrds Release Date: June 6 > MBY Wait fr Me Prducer: Mby Little dit /Mute Release Date: June 30 An abut -face frm last year's danceflr -ready "Last Night," Mby's ninth studi album, "Wait fr Me," is a study in melanchly. Listeners wn't hear reverberating 4/4 kick drums, hky chruses r cing club girls. And, unlike 999's grundbreaking "Play," there aren't any gspel -blues samples dressed in pretty electrnic clthing. This is Mby withut his usual bag f tricks; the material rings truer than any f his previus wrk. Frm the pener "Divisin" - tw earnest minutes f tremulus strings -int "Pale Hrses," which sunds like a Mby remix f a PJ Harvey /Jhn Parish cllabratin (tragic lyrics and peratic synth swells), Mby sets a path thrugh cinematic territry. R &B /sul singer Leela James lends vcals t "Walk With Me," which recalls the expansive wrk f the Brit utfit Cinematic rchestra. The title track references Tri Ams, with urgent grand -pian arpeggis. "Hpe s Gne," a muted '0s ballad tward the end f the album, has the same chilling effect that Nancy Sinatra's "Bang Bang (My Baby Sht Me Dwn)" had in the 003 film "Kill Bill: Vl.." Like the indelicately hard stp f the therwise elegant album clser "slate," "Wait fr Me" cntinually surprises. -KM 8 BLLBARD 8, 009

The full lyric is "Everybdy gets the itch /Everybdy hates that" with the final wrd bleeped ut -but yu get the pint. t's ne f the many signs n "Lines, Vines and Trying Times" that the Jnas Brthers are trying t distance themselves frm their bubble - gum pp heritage: The track "Dn't Charge Me fr the Crime" features the rapper Cmmn and the wail f a plice scanner, and the blues guitarist Jnny Lang plays lead n "Hey Baby." While it's cmmendable fr the tri t try t break ut f its teen dream bx, it's n sngs like "Befre the Strm " -featuring Miley Cyrus -where the brthers prve they're still amng the best at putting the fizz in pp culture.

The sngs hark back t early music, yet, with their blend f disparate styles, sund remarkably fresh: The pensive "timad" is highlighted by Hassell's musing, and the bright, upbeat dance "A La Dina Dana" is spirited by the Algerian vilinist Kheir Eddine M'Kachiche's jig -like lines. While Balke's lyrical music is largely rendered with a hushed, therwrldly feel, the percussinists prvide the subtle gravitatinal pulse, such as n the petic "Thulathiyat.

30 VtU SiC HAPPENNG NW PP BY JASN LPSHUTZ Mm's The Wrd Diane Birch Targets nline Frums T Supprt `Bible Belt' Debut During the past mnth, S -Curve artist Diane Birch has been quietly separating herself frm the crwded field f aspiring female singer/ sngwriters- thanks primarily t a viral campaign targeting "mm blgs." While Birch's debut album, "Bible Belt," last mnth peaked at N. 87 n the Billbard 00, the strategy has helped the single "Nthing but a Miracle" gain mmentum. The sng is N. n the Triple A chart. The label pted fr a mre viral marketing strategy t prmte "Bible Belt," as it lacks what S- Curve funder Steve Greenberg calls a "nvelty single." Capitalizing n a perceived enthusiasm frm adult wmen, Greenberg began reaching ut t nline frums called mm blgs and letting the grups listen t and discuss Birch's music. The psitive reactins led t blg psts, Twitter recmmendatins and the spread f a widget that dnates $ t charity fr every `Bible Belt" purchase. The music media sn nticed Birch's nline ppularity: itunes made the mtivatinal track "Rise Up" its free single f the week in May, while VH added "Nthing but a Miracle" t its rtatin last mnth. As Birch's sngs receive mre airplay, her sumptuus vcals and sulful lyrics have pegged her as a wrd -f -muth breakut in the vein f Jss Stne and Nrah Jnes. "t's pretty hard t define my taste, but there's always that cmmn thread f sngwriting," Birch says f the album's lived -in feel. "t's nt anything that's never been dne befre, but that's K. All want is t tell my stry." Her stry begins in Zimbabwe, where Birch mved with her parents at a yung age because f her pastr father's missinary wrk. As her family cntinued t migrate t Suth Africa, Australia and eventually America, Birch began t feel at dds with their irregular lifestyle. " cnstantly had t adapt t new envirnments," she says. "While it let me discver different genres f music, it was als s alienating. fund a lt f things wrng with that way f life, but it gave me smething t push against." Birch, wh started playing pian at age 7, mved t Ls Angeles n her wn and played regular gigs at venues like the Beverly Hills Htel and L'rangerie while hning her sngwriting skills. n the strength f several stripped -dwn MySpace dems, she signed a publishing deal with EM in 007 and later signed a recrding cntract with New Yrk's S -Curve Recrds. During a 0 -mnth span in New Yrk and New rleans, Birch recrded "Bible Belt" under the guidance f Greenberg, wh helped deliver Stne, Hansn and the Jnas Brthers t the mainstream. T fully capture Birch's ptential in the studi, Greenberg brught in veteran cllabratrs, including Meters bassist Gerge Prter and Jive Five singer Eugene Pitt, and gave the emerging artist the time t craft a slid frnt -t -back album. "Lts f recrds these days are just a cllectin f singles," Greenberg says. "We decided that we needed t get the right peple and let Diane 'Miracle' wrker: DANE BRCH wrk n a wide canvas t make a great album." T further spread the wrd abut "Bible Belt," Birch will appear n "Late Shw With David Letterman" and "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" this mnth. Then she will tur thrughut August befre embarking n a fall trek that's still in the planning phase. Fr Greenberg, Birch's mesmerizing talent has always been the album's selling pint. "We understd that the key way t prmte this album was t just get peple t hear it and nt wrry abut a big first -week number," he says. While he recgnizes the effect f appealing t the mm blggers, Greenberg als pints t Birch's grwing pull in the cllege -age demgraphic and the prspect f the singer "becming an imprtant mainstream vice fr a yunger crwd." 3,000 0,000 NNTRADTNAL RETAL (NCLUDES STARBUCKS) WLC (THE SALES CHART) Digital dwnlads accunted fr a whpping 30,000 f the verall nntraditinal sales fr "Wilc (The Album)." n the Tp Digital Albums chart, it was N. fr the week, secnd nly t "The Essential Michael Jacksn" (3,000).,000 3,000 NTERNET/ MAL RDER/ VENUE SALES 30,000 DGTAL WL PWER Wilc's seventh studi album, "Wilc (The Album)," lands n the Billbard 00 with style, jumping in at N. 4 with 99,000 cpies sld.

He describes his latest album as "a way t write nvelty sngs that culd ptentially get played n the radi and als make music vides." The cmedian is n stranger t visual media. His 004 sitcm, "Rdney," ran fr tw seasns n ABC.

He has sld. millin albums, accrding t Nielsen Sund - Scan, with 000's "Mrning Wd" his best seller at 7,000. The new album is decidedly less "blue" than earlier releases. The vide fr the lead track, "f 'm the nly ne" -abut a cheating spuse -stars Carringtn and Keith with guests Jennifer Aspen and Nick Searcy, wh are bth frm the "Rdney" shw.

"Make t Christmas," which includes the hliday classics "Mary, Did Yu Knw?," " Hly Night" and "Have Yurself a Merry Little Christmas," was recrded earlier this year in Ls Angeles with Drff.

"This was a fun, creative prcess f writing and finding sngs; n rushed effrt," Sure says f the album's gestatin. "t allwed me t be me thrugh slid cmpsitins reflecting my feelings." Fcusing n the central themes f lve, rmance and relatinships, the album features 0 riginal sngs written and c- prduced by Sure. Als included are tw cvers: Sting's "Fragile" and Michael Jacksn's "The Lady in My Life." f the latter, Sure says, "'m just truly in lve with the feel and fabric f that sng." "Hney" pens with a little déjà vu: an interlude versin f Sure's N. R &B/N. 7 pp hit, 988's "Nite and Day." The sng marked the first f five N. R &B singles fr the Bstn -brn singer, including a came n Quincy Jnes' 990 R &B chart -tpper "The Secret Garden." Sure als claimed three tp five R &B albums:988's "n Effect Mde" (N.), 990's "Private Times... And the Whle 9!" and 99's "Sexy Versus." Dwnsized after a tw -year stint as the midday air persnality n Clear Channel's R &B ldies statin KHHT Ls Angeles, Sure als spent the last few years writing and prducing recrdings by David Bwie, Faith Evans and Usher. He's als signed t William Mrris fr film and TV prjects. Describing "Hney" as " 'n Effect Mde' n sterids," the silky- viced singer cncentrated n striking the right balance between cntemprary and ld schl. "'m nt Usher r Justin Timberlake," he adds with a laugh. "'m a 40- year -ld man sharing my thughts n lve." -Gail Mitchell Carringtn knws peple might be surprised when they hear it, he says he's "never pigenhled what 've thught abut ding. 've just said, `'ll try that.' " That said, Carringtn ntes that a straight singing career isn't in his future. "The Christmas recrd is as serius as 'm ging t get," he says. "'m still turing, still telling jkes, still ding my thing." The Christmas album will be his last fr Capitl Nashville. "Yu're never ging t wn yur wn stuff unless yu hang n t it," says Carringtn, Lvejnes: AL B. SURE and TNA GU Stand -up guy: RDNEY CARRNGTN wh has been with the label since 000.

FREEDM SNG Years in the making and featuring sev- eral f the biggest names in the genre, reggaetón artist Temp's new album, "Free Temp," was released June 30. But withut a radi hit r its name- sake star t prmte it, this release is relying n hardcre Temp fans t trumpet its message. t's being heard. The album debuts this week at N. 6 n Billbard's Tp Latin Albums chart and N. 3 n Tp Latin Rhythm Albums. Rapper Temp, aka David Sanchez Badill, had already recrded vcals fr a new album when he was sentenced t 4 years in prisn in 00. He had been cnvicted f cnspiracy t pssess mre than 30 kilgrams f herin with intent t distribute. Maintaining his inncence, Temp filed an appeal June 9. Temp's label, Urban Bx ffice, went ut f business in 006. But UB's frmer president /CE Adam Kidrn and ex -head f peratins and marketing Bruce Hendersn licensed the tracks frm Temp's family and business partners. Prducers Ech and Diesel added vcals by such marquee names as Wisin & Yandel, Daddy Yankee, Teg Caldern, Fat Je and Arcangel, as well as instrumental backing by the Lndn Symphny rchestra. Kidrn says the artists weren't paid an upfrnt fee fr recrding but will receive publishing ryalties. Released thrugh a pressing and distributin deal with Sny Music Latin, "Free Temp" is available as a CD, a CD /DVD package with a 47- minute dcumentary abut Temp's legacy and as a special editin with an "evidence kit" cntaining dg tags and ther Temp merchandise. Kidrn says radi hasn't jumped n the first single "mpresiname," featuring Jwell y Randy, because it isn't cnsidered pppy enugh. T fill that vid, Temp's camp has turned t the nternet and TV. The Telemund shw "Al Rj Viv" recently investigated the mysterius rigins f a vide set t "mpresiname." t was purprtedly sht frm Temp's federal prisn cell, althugh his face isn't clearly visible. Kidrn desn't expect "Free Temp" t recup all its csts. But he says advances frm Sny have paid fr Temp's appeal. "This album is as clse as yu'll get t a Pac recrd in Latin music," he adds. "t's uncmprmising, the beats are huge, and the cllabratins are heartfelt." -Ayala Ben -Yehuda 3

The last artist t claim the N. and psitins was Ken -Y n the Jan. 3, 0 chart. F Michael Jacksn's death cntinues making waves n the Billbard charts. Turn t page 36 fr a recap f his achievements n the Tp Pp Catalg Albums and Tp Cmprehensive (ä00d '_C)CNG' first studi album in 4 years, as the lead track "A Lking in View" debuts n the Mainstream Rck airplay chart at N. 33 (viewable at billbard.biz /charts). t's the act's `first hit n that chart since January 00. Jacksn's Chart Achievements Prve Prvking n May, 99, Billbard intrduced its first charts pwered by Nielsen SundScan's pint -f -sale data: the Billbard 00 and a new Tp Pp Catalg Albums list. Bth were revlutinary, because fr the first time, Billbard was able t base album charts n actual sales data, instead f having t rely n rankings btained frm reccrd stres, ver the telephne r by fax machine. ndustry executives were cncerned at the time that the new SundScan system wuld allw lder albums t prevent newer releases frm reaching the Billbard 00. T address thse cncerns, Billbard's then -publisher Hward Lan- der wrte, "Because the new system measures actual sales f all albums, a majr bjective was t ensure that lder albums, which might be strng sellers, wuld nt crwd current titles, and especially titles by develping acts, ff the charts. Billbard has a histric cmmitment t fster develpment f new talent. We believe the slutin is the creatin f catalg charts, which are being launched in this issue." ver Cu The nter KETH CAULFEL D The fllwing week, frmer directr f charts Geff Mayfield wrte in his ver the Cunter clumn that the catalg chart "is prving t be a great tl fr identifying strng lder titles. Pint -f -sale infrmatin places many f these recrdings amng the natin's best sellers. n fact, if the catalg albums were included in the [Billbard 00], all 0 wuld shw up n the 00 - psitin chart." At that time the thught f a catalg album utselling the tp current album was unimaginable. Hw culd an ld album pssibly d better than a ht, new release? But, it happened. n the wake f Michael Jacksn's June death, his "Number nes" last week climbed t N. n the Tp Pp Catalg Albums and the all- encmpassing Tp Cmprehensive Albums charts with 08,000 cpies sld. This week, sales fr "Number nes" increase (339,000; up %) in the first full week f sales after his passing, and the album is again N. n the Cmprehensive tally (see page 36). Hw histric is that? n the 948 weeks that Billbard has been using Nielsen SundScan data t pwer the Billbard 00 and Tp Pp Catalg charts, nly twice has a catalg album utsld the tp -selling current r new album. And nly Jacksn culd have dne it. He has a histry f altering Billbard's chart landscape. He was the first t chart seven tp 0 Billbard Ht 00 singles frm ne album, with "Thriller." He was the first t have five Ht 00 N. is frm ne album, with "Bad." He was the first t debut at N. n the Ht 00, with "Yu Are Nt Alne." And he cntinues t reign as the artist with the lngest- running N. n the Billbard 00, with "Thriller." t has spent 37 nncnsecutive weeks atp the chart. All these feats were seemingly impssible t achieve -until Jacksn did it. And he cntinues t break recrds. N ne is denying that he has had the best- selling album in the United States fr the past tw weeks. Last week he had the tp three titles n the Tp Cmprehensive Albums chart (which includes current and catalg titles). But, since Jacksn's tp sellers are absent frm the Billbard 00 -lng cnsidered the albums chart f recrd in the United States -it gives ne pause. Perhaps this is an pprtunity t pnder what the Billbard 00 wuld be like if it included catalg albums. n a shifting landscape where every day brings a new way t buy and sell music, we must cnsider hw t prperly chart and reflect industry change. Billbard prides itself n prviding the mst accurate charts pssible t the industry, cnsumers and fans, and if we were t cnsider altering ur chart rules, we wuld d s with a measured apprach and much thught. We must be pen t new ideas and change as we mve frward. With that in mind, we cntinue t clsely mnitr ur charts and hw they reflect the marketplace.
