4 COMMENTARY LETTERS -..: e, Billbard PUBLSHER HOWARD APPELBAUM C ) ' N()N EDTORALS! Wrking Tgether T Save The Music nternet Services Present A Challenge -And An Opprtunity -Fr Radi BY JASON TURNER Recrd labels tk anther sht t the gut Aug., this time frm the Secnd Circuit Curt's ruling in Arista Recrds, et al. v. Launch Media. The curt held that Yah's Launchcast wasn't an interactive service as defined by the Cpyright Act. Unfrtunately, fr labels, this means that ne mre ptentially significant surce f revenue has been dashed. Launchcast, as well as ther similar nternet radi services like Pandra and Last.fm, must nly pay the minimal statutry licensing fees set by the Cpyright Ryalty Bard thrugh SundExchange t the wners f the recrdings. This ruling is well- reasned despite the labels' sensible displeasure with it. But when cupled with the cntinuing failure f Cngress t pass a Perfrmance Rights Act, it makes it mre imprtant than ever fr everyne in the music industry t wrk tgether t keep this a viable, prfitable business. When Cngress enacted the first U.S. cpyright law with the Cpyright Act f 790, it intended t establish an incentive fr authrs t share their wrks with the public by prtecting their creatins. Recall that Article, Sectin 8 f the Cnstitutin gives Cngress the pwer t establish laws t prmte the prgress f science and useful arts. (Granted, it wasn't until 4 years later thrugh the Act f 8 that music was first recgnized as a "useful art. ") As the nternet became ppular in the '90s, the recrding industry quickly began publicizing its cncern that existing cpyright laws culdn't prtect it frm piracy. Partially due t these cncerns, Cngress enacted the Digital Perfrmance Right in Sund Recrdings Act f 99, which was the first time that the wners f sund recrdings were affrded the exclusive right t perfrm sund recrdings (albeit an extremely narrw exclusive right pertaining nly t paid subscriptin and interactive services) by way f a digital audi transmissin. But the industry and Cngress sn recgnized that the swift evlutin f the nternet and the advent f true "ndemand" services, which allw end FOR THE RECORD The name f music engineer Marcella Araica's label was misstated in the Questins Q &A in the Oct.0 issue. t shuld have been listed as New Age Rck Stars. Nne f us can affrd t ignre the perceived prblem. Especially because it may actually be an pprtunity. users t decide exactly what sngs they hear, called fr a change t the definitin f "interactive service" in 998 t include services "that enable a member f the public t receive a transmissin f a prgram specially created fr the recipient, r n request, a transmissin f a particular sund recrding." Up until then, nearly all the services n the nternet were deemed nninteractive, since the cntent was chsen fr the listener. There's n dubt that cllege students and yunger children these days are listening less t terrestrial radi. With the advent f scial netwrking sites and nninteractive nternet radi sites like Pandra and ilike, the mil - lennials are finding ways f explring new music withut the invlvement f traditinal radi. Des this mean that traditinal radi will sn disappear? dubt it -but nly if traditinal radi desn't make the same mistake that labels did in the late '90s when they ignred the rise f the M P frmat. Radi prgrammers must tap int these scial netwrking sites t cnnect with the next generatin. Perhaps there are ways fr terrestrial statins t implement Pandra -like prgrams n their statin Web sites, which will generate revenue while helping intrduce yung listeners t the new music being marketed by labels. The labels must als pitch in, hwever. t's reasnable t feel empathy fr them, since recrd sales cntinue t plummet at staggering rates. t seems that full albums are disappearing int the sunset. The attentin span f the millennials is but a few secnds, if yu' re lucky. Texting, tweeting, Facebking and ther such frms f cmmunicatin are the waves f nw, nt the future. fwe're ging t sustain a recrd industry that can reward labels fr investing in the "useful art" f music, everyne needs t recgnize that we are all in the same bat and help find a slutin. Nne f us can affrd t ignre the perceived prblem. Especially because it may actually be an pprtunity. Jasn Turner is an attrney with Lassiter, Tidwell, Davis, Keller?

Mst f the time, test -driving a car results in nthing mre than a sales pitch, autmbile envy and a brief sample f that new car smell. But fr music fans in select markets, taking a Kia Sul ut fr a spin gets them smething mre: a free cncert. The shws are part f an ambitius marketing effrt launched by Kia in hpes f attracting a yunger audience t its Sul marque, which launched in March. Dubbed the Kia Sul Cllective, events are held n weekends in 0 different cities; s far, six have taken place, with fur planned fr Atlanta, Bstn, New Yrk and Ls Angeles. Recent gigs have featured acts like N *E *R *D, MGMT and Against Me; future shws will include sets frm Atlas Sund, the Pains f Being Pure at Heart and Silversun Pickups. The campaign als includes a Web site that features a dwnlad f an riginal track by Janelle Mnde, branded cell phne and cmputer wallpaper designed by Jeff Staple and a shrt film by music vide directrs Jnas and Francis. "This is the first time we've dne smething like this," says Kathryn Cima, manager f spnsrships and events at Kia Mtrs America, adding that the brand's nly ther musical venture has been a Vans Warped tur spnsrship. "We didn't start ff thinking this wuld be a music initiative, but as we lked fr ways t cnnect with the target audience, we fund that music was a gd way t reach them." Cima says the Sul Cllective events have resulted in mre than,000 test drives.

"But we are seeing a great respnse, especially in the scial media space. Peple are blgging and Twittering abut Kia being cl and the Sul being a cl car." Even thugh car sales waned in September, Jeff Tammes, senir VP f strategic marketing fr Crnerstne, says nw is the perfect time fr Kia t start building relatinships with yunger cnsumers. "The purpse f these events is t intrduce the Kia Sul t kids," he says. "Since it's a newer brand, many f them are finding ut abut it fr the first time. While they might nt be ready t buy a car right nw, when they are, they'll think back t this event and remember the Sul." Kia isn't the nly car cmpany using music t reach yunger cnsumers. Scin and Yaris, bth Tyta marques, have each ran music - based campaigns fr the past few years, and bth say they'll cntinue t use music t build their brands. But they add that they've had t cut back n 0 sme f their mre ambitius initiatives recently. Scin sales prmtins manager Jeri Yshizu says that the cmpany cntinues t spnsr cncerts in varius markets. "We're ding a garage rck festival in Prt- land [Ore.] sn, and we'll be spnsring a metal festival in Atlanta again," she says. "We als d mnthly parties and we spnsr the turs f dub - step DJs in third -tier markets." Yshizu says that she's fcused n keeping up the face f the brand while als keeping an eye n the bttm line. "We are ding cheaper events," she says. "Turing a grup f dubstep DJs is a lt cheaper than getting a big -name rapper with a full band t play a shw." Chad Harp, a marketing cmmunicatins strategist at Yaris, says the car brand's "Free Yr Radi" campaign als has evlved. "n the first year f the prgram, we were partnering with Urban Outfitters and lcal independent radi statins, putting n shws and giving away a free car t the statins," he says. "The secnd year we were bmbarded with requests and had t scale back. Nw, we're partnering with the lcal statins at music festivals and helping them bradcast the shw. We're als running shuttles arund the festival as a way t get peple in the car." Harp adds that, like Kia, his fcus is n building a lng -term relatinship with the cnsumer. "We dn't think peple will run hme frm a festival and buy a car," he says.

BY CORTNEY HARDNG Fertile Grund? Orchard Layffs Call nt Questin Future Of ndie Digital Distributrs n the wake f layffs last mnth, Danny Stein, chairman f the executive cmmittee at the Orchard, says the cmpany will be OK. We are ding well, and a number f the layffs came as a result f ur investment in new technlgies and the resulting efficiencies," he says. "Mst f the layffs were highly predictable, and we will still be able t prvide the same level f service t ur clients with fewer peple." But the restructuring als raises larger questins abut the strength f the indie digital distributin sectr as a whle. All tld, the Orchard laid ff staffers, five cnsultants and an unspecified number f temps Sept. 9, accrding t a recent filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Cmmissin. CEO Greg Schll als handed in his resignatin; s far, a replacement hasn't been annunced. While an examinatin f the Orchard's quarterly reprts reveals the cmpany has never psted dramatic lsses, it has cnsistently lst mney. While the Orchard is cash -flw psitive frm peratins, the cmpany BY LELA COBO had a net lss f $. millin in 008 and is n track t surpass that lss in 009. Additinally, layffs s late in the year prbably wn't d much t imprve net incme until 00. Others in the sectr are blstering their financials by teaming with thers. n July, the ndependent Online Distributin Alliance annunced a partnership -which included an investment -with Sny; it prvides digital services fr RED and is allwed t use Sny's physical distributin resurces. "The layffs at the Orchard speak t the difficulty f perating in this segment," ODA CEO Kevin Arnld says. "Fr us, definitely think partnering with Sny was the right mve." At present, all fur majr -wned indie distributrs either require r "strngly prefer" that labels use them fr physical and digital distributin. Digital distributin cmpanies als face cmpetitin frm services like Tunecre, which charges a flat fee rather than a percentage f mney earned frm sales. The Orchard says part f its strategy has been t grw beynd being just a digital distributr. T that end, it acquired wnership f mst f the assets f TVT Recrds in 008. Even Exit strategy: frmer Orchard CEO GREG SCHOLL thugh Michael Bull, wh headed TVT Distributin at the Orchard, was laid ff, executive VP /GM Brad Navin says the physical distributin business is still imprtant. S much s, in fact, that a recent press release abut a deal with the German distributr ntergrve started ff with the line, "s there life after digital?" "We never viewed it as a digital vs. physical divide," Navin says. "They are cmplementary retail channels, nt cmpetitrs. We are finding that After -Hurs Airplay SBS Offers infmercial Time T Artists The limited playlist slts available t Latin acts n the radi may sn expand thanks t a unique prgramming strategy launched by the radi netwrk Spanish Bradcasting System. Beginning as early as this mnth, artists wh want t get airplay n SBS statins can circumvent the netwrk's prgramming department by purchasing infmercials that feature ne f their tracks played in full. The "Mnthly Rtating infmercials" will be sld in packages with csts varying based n the number f spins per mnth. "The idea respnds t a marketplace need," says SBS Entertainment senir VP Lucas Piña. "The cmpany wanted t pen a space fr new artists." The nvel prgramming idea -which may be unique fr radi verall -wrks like this: Develping and established artists alike can buy packages f infmercials that will air n SBS statins between p.m. and a.m. Mnday thrugh Friday and p.m. and 0 a.m. Saturday and Sunday. The infmercials cnsist f an entire sng preceded by an intrductin that annunces the artist, the title and the presenting spnsr. That spnsr can be the artist himself, the label r a third party r brand; hwever, the spnsr must be named in rder fr the infmercial t run. nfmercials air at a netwrk level by genre; a trpical track, fr example, will run n all f SBS' trpical statins natinwide. There isn't any ther prgramming -r ads -dur- ing the infmercial slts. "t will be like an ipd playing cntinuus music," Piña says. While the idea f radi infmercials prmting singles r albums isn't new, the departure here is that unlike a 0 -secnd cmmercial, the track plays in full.

"The explsin f apps is a real thing t fcus n, and it's smething we're ptimistic abut," said EM senir VP f digital marketing Syd Schwartz during a keynte sessin. Stres like the iphné s App Stre, Black - Berry App Wrld, Andrid Marketplace and the new Windws Marketplace fr Mbile have captured the interest and imaginatin f the music industry, but accrding t Ngrves CEO Rbb Mc Daniels, it will take -8 mnths befre buying music n mbile devices becmes nticeable.

"f there are app develpers in the rm and have ideas, we wuld like t talk t yu," Schwartz tld the crwd. Labels aren't the nly entities with smething t gain, either. Keynte speaker Alan Brenner, senir VP f BlackBerry platfrms fr Research in Mtin, said a strng app envirnment is critical t help smart -phne manufacturers cmpete in tday's pst -iphne wrld. The key, he said, is t create a next generatin f smart -phne apps that can be mre than a fad. Accrding t a recent reprt frm the mbile analysis firm Flurry, nly % f music apps are used mre than 90 days after they're dwnladed.

8 OBTUARY BY LELA COBO MERCEDES SOSA When Mercedes Ssa sang "They killed me s many times, died s many deaths, and yet here am, rebrn" -the memrable lines frm Maria Elena Walsh's sng "Cm la Cigarra" (Like the Ciccada) -she spke t millins f Latin Americans wh turned t her signature cntralt vice and scial messages during sme f the cntinent's mst turbulent years. The Argentine singer, wh died Oct. 4 f kidney failure in Buens Aires at the age f 74, leaves an indelible mark n generatins f musicians, sngwriters and fans whse lives and art were influenced by Ssa's renditins f sme f the mst pwerful sngs in the Spanish language. Ssa wasn't a sngwriter. She referred t herself as a "cantra," smene wh sang but als interpreted the music f prminent, issue -riented singer /sngwriters like Silvi Rdriguez, León Giec and Vileta Parra. At the time f her death, Ssa had recrded tw albums -"Cantra " (just nminated fr a Latin Grammy Award in the album f the year categry) and "Cantra "- fr which she recrded many f her ld hits as duets. Brn Haydée Mercedes Ssa n July 9, 9, in San Miguel de Tucumán, a rural area in nrthwestern Argentina, Ssa was f mixed ndian and French ancestry and was affectinately nicknamed "La Negra" (the Dark One) fr her dark cuntenance. Knwn fr perfrming in traditinal garb, she began singing flklre as a child and wn her first festival at years ld. Althugh Ssa spke ut against scial injustice, she ften said that musicians shuld play n rle in plitics. "Human beings have t reslve their wn prblems," she nce said. "But music can cnsle peple wh suffer frm prblems, and perhaps it can inspire peple t try t slve their prb- lems." But Ssa champined scial causes, especially when Argentina was ruled by a military dictatrship that tk pwer in a 9 cup. n the late '70s she left fr Eurpe, where she lived in exile fr several years. A favrite f artists as varied as Sting and Jan Baez (wh nce, enraptured, kissed Ssa's feet), Ssa perfrmed arund the wrld and recrded with a brad range f artists that included new pp stars like Shakira. And her stature beynd the wrld f music was evident in the wake f her death as leaders in Latin America and Eurpe paid her hmage. Peruvian President Alan Garcia, wh flew his cuntry's flag at half - staff, said, "We pay hmage t the great singer f the peple, because she culd express pain but als hpe and lve fr the pr." Chilean President Michelle Bachelet said Ssa's sngs cntributed t the battle against the dictatrship f August Pinchet. OBT Reinhard Mhn, the frmer chief executive f BMG parent cmpany Bertelsmann, died Oct. f undisclsed causes in Gueterslh, Germany, at the age f 88. Mhn was the great -great -grandsn f the German media grup's funder, Carl Bertelsmann. Althugh he resigned as chief executive in 98, Mhn remained chairman f Bertelsmann's bard until 99, and at the time f his death he was still hnrary chairman f the cmpany's supervisry bard. His wife, Liz, and children Christph and Brigitte remain n the supervisry bard. Mhn was brn June 9, 9, in Gueterslh and became head f Bertelsmann in 947, after being repatriated frm a U.S. prisner -f -war camp. During a career at Bertelsmann that lasted mre than six decades, Mhn transfrmed the cmpany frm a German printer and bk publisher int an internatinal enterprise that tday emplys 00,000 -plus peple in mre than 0 cuntries. Key t Bertelsmann's expansin under Mhn was its mail -rder bk club business, which bmed in the '0s. Mhn als versaw Bertelsmann's entry int the music business in the late '0s, when it launched Arila Recrds. n the late '70s, Arila acquired the Arista label frm Clumbia Pictures; in 98 it bught RCA. n 987, the three labels merged t create Bertelsmann Music Grup, alng with BMG Music Publishing. n 998, BMG had a 0.% glbal market share. n 004, BMG's recrded -music divisin became part f the Sny BMG jint venture and was eventually acquired utright by Sny Music in 008; the music publishing business was sld t Universal in 007. Bertelsmann re- entered the music market in Octber 008 when it launched BMG Rights Management, in which the investment firm Khlberg Kravis Rberts acquired a % stake in July fr a reprted 0 millin ($48. millin). -Wlfgang Spahr BY ANDRE PANE Culd U.K. Nix Merger Fr Tix? Prvisinal Ruling May Nt Matter Much n U.S. On Oct. 8, the United Kingdm's Cmpetitin Cmmissin issued a prvisinal ruling that the prpsed Live Natin - Ticketmaster Entertainment merger wuld hinder cmpetitin in the U.K. ticketing market. But this isn't the death knell fr the deal, and the cmmissin's cncern-which invlves the German cncert giant CTS Eventim -may nt be a majr factr when the U.S. Department f Justice (DOJ) weighs the deal. "There are specific factrs relating t the U.K.: the fact that Ticketmaster is s big -40% 0% f the market, accrding t the Cmpetitin Cmmissin -and the fact that there is smebdy [in CTS Eventim] that's set itself up t enter the market but wh ptentially is ging t be scuppered frm ding s because f this deal," says Simn Barnes, cunsel fr cmpetitin and Eurpean Unin law at the Lndn -based law firm Lvells. Even CTS Eventim executives have previusly expressed cnfidence that they wuldn't suffer as a result f a merger. Live Natin cut a deal with CTS as it psitined itself t launch its wn ticketing cmpany after splitting frm Ticketmaster this year. "CTS Eventim and Live Natin will fully hnr their cmmitments under the 0 -year agreement they cncluded in December 007," said CTS Eventim CEO Klaus -Peter Schulenberg in March after the Tick - etmaster -Live Natin merger annuncement. Schulenberg insisted that the merger wuld have "n detrimental impact" n the partnership. "t is quite unusual in this srt f situatin that [the Crn - petitin Cmmissin is] trying t prtect smebdy wh's nt even n the market, but they must feel cnfident that CTS legitimately can be seen as a new entrant wh will d well," Barnes says. "f Live Natin had nt happened t have dne a deal with CTS, dn't think this issue wuld have arisen." CTS Eventim, based in Bremen, Germany, is mving int the U.K. market as part f its relatinship with Live Natin. The Eurpean prmter /ticketing cmpany runs ticketing fr Live Natin in Sweden, Finland, Pland and the Netherlands, and the agreement was in the prcess f extending int the Czech Republic, Hungary, the United Kingdm and Nrway. The deal als gave Live Natin a license t use CTS Eventim's ticketing sftware in Nrth America, where CTS hadn't made inrads. "As the secnd -largest ticket agent in the wrld after Ticket - master, with cnsiderable experience and expertise in ther cuntries, CTS' [U.K.] entry wuld have increased cmpetitin in ticket retailing t the benefit f custmers," said Christpher Clarke, Cmpetitin Cmmissin deputy chairman and chairman f the inquiry grup, in a statement. Clarke added, "We believe that if the merger prceeds, Live Natin will seek t limit its relatinship with CTS, with the Urge t merge: Live Natin CEO MCHAEL RAPNO (left) and Ticketmaster Entertainment CEO RVNG AZOFF effect f putting CTS' future prspects in the U.K. in cnsiderable dubt." The Cmpetitin Cmmissin estimates Ticketmaster's 008 U.K. market share at between 40% and 0 %; it als perates in reland, Finland, Denmark, Sweden, the Netherlands, Germany and Spain and has affiliates in France, Hungary, Pland, Prtugal and Slvakia. Live Natin's business in Eurpe is brad and includes a string f independent Eurpean prmtin and management cmpanies acquired when Live Natin predecessrs SFX and Clear Channel Entertainment rlled up the Eurpean prmtin industry beginning a decade ag. Live Natin is the largest festival prmter in Eurpe and bks and manages a wide range f venues. The Cmpetitin Cmmissin listed several pssible remedies, including the divestment f the U.K. business f either Ticketmaster r Live Natin- prbably a distasteful ptin fr either cmpany -r measures t ensure that CTS r anther ticket agent can sell Live Natin's tickets. "n this case the bvius behaviral remedy wuld be sme srt f cmmitment frm Live Natin that it will cntinue t supply tickets thrugh peple ther than Ticketmaster," Barnes says. But cmpetitin authrities are "quite wary" f behaviral remedies. Presumably Ticketmaster and Live Natin wuld prefer that the DOJ fcuses n this part f the Cmpetitin Cm- missin statement: "The crn - missin has nt fund any adverse effects n cmpetitin affecting ther ticketing agents, prmters and venue peratrs that arise frm the merger." The merger is als being investigated by the DOJ, which is cnsulting with the Cmpetitin Cmmissin. The crn - missin is an independent public grup that investigates mergers, markets and regulated industries. The cnsultatin n its findings will run until Oct. 9 and a final reprt is expected by Nv. 4, fllwing an examinatin f ways t address the lss f cmpetitin. Ticketmaster and Live Natin culd appeal its decisin. n respnse t the prvisinal ruling, Live Natin and Ticketmaster issued a jint statement that said in part, "During the curse f this merger prcess, Live Natin and Ticketmaster have listened t ur fans, artists and ther stakehlders. We've heard a range f views regarding the issues and challenges facing the live music industry. We firmly believe that ur merger achieves an imprtant and much needed public interest and remain ptimistic that it will ultimately be apprved." 8 BLLBOARD OCTOBER 7, 009

9 LEGAL VAi u ii4s COURTNG A PRECEDENT WTH THE CRB f yu think Simn, Randy, Kara and Ellen are the mst imprtant judges in the music business, try again. Hw abut James, Stanley and William? That wuld be James S. Sledge, Stanley Wisniewski and William J. Rberts -the three judges f the Cpyright Ryalty Bard, appinted by Librarian f Cngress James Billingtn in 00. Unlike the judges n "American dl," paparazzi wn't recgnize this tri when they slip ut fr lunch. But their wrk matters quite a bit t recrd labels and music publishers, which depend n the CRB t set the statutry ryalty rates fr mechanical and webcasting licenses. The decisins f this panel effectively determine wh's entitled t billins f dllars in industry revenue frm certain CD sales, Web radi bradcasts and ther frms f distributin subject t statutry licenses. Since its frmatin under the Cpyright Ryalty and Distributin Refrm Act f 004, the CRB has cme under intense scrutiny frm cnstitutinal schlars, many f whm nrmally wuldn't care abut hw much labels must pay While technicalities have thus far prevented a ruling n the cnstitutinal issue, a new case puts the issue squarely befre the curts. On Aug., the Web radi aggregatr Live.cm filed suit in federal curt in Washingtn, D.C., seeking a declaratin that the appintment prcess fr CRB judges is uncnstitutinal. The CRB wn the first rund Oct. 8, when Judge Reggie Waltn ruled that Live "has failed t demnstrate its entitlement t the extrardinary relief f a preliminary injunctin" that wuld have immediately halted all CRB prceedings. But the case isn't ver. And n Dec. 7, the Supreme Curt will hear a similar case, this ne challenging the methd f appinting members f an bscure panel called the Public Cmpany Accunting Oversight Bard. While the issues in the tw cases aren't identical, the Supreme Curt's decisin in Free Enterprise Fund v. PCAOB will likely clarify wh cunts as a principal fficer requiring presidential appintment. S what happens if Live wins and the appintment prcess fr CRB judges is declared uncnstitutinal? t's pssible that all f the `Smewhere n Capitl Hill, there has already been lbbying ging n t fix the prblem.' -KEN FREUNDLCH publishers t recrd a cver versin f a sng r hw much Web radi statins we in ryalties. But they have raised serius questins abut whether the CRB judges were appinted pursuant t a prcess that vilates the Cnstitutin. Article, Sectin, Clause f the Cnstitutin says that the president, the curts r heads f departments may appint "inferir fficers"-basically, midlevel federal bureaucrats. But nly the president may appint s- called "principal fficers" like ambassadrs, cabinet members and ther high- ranking fficials. The prblem is that the CRB judges are appinted nt by the president, but by the Librarian f Cngress. And there's a strng argument t be made that, accrding t Supreme Curt precedent, CRB judges are principal fficers because they can't be fired at will and their decisins can't be reversed by the Librarian r ther executive branch fficials. The cnstitutinal argument has previusly been raised in tw cases; in bth, the appellate curts held that the parties had raised the issue t late, thus frfeiting it. Hwever, Judge Brett Kavanaugh f the Curt f Appeals fr the District f Clumbia Circuit went ut f his way in a cncurrence t nte that the CRB members' appintment by the Librarian f Cngress "raises a serius cnstitutinal issue" and pined that "[ijf the members f the bard are in fact principal fficers, then the present means f appinting bard members is uncnstitutinal." Recgnizing that this is n mere academic debate, Kavanaugh added: "[B]illins f dllars and the fates f entire industries can ride n the Cpyright Ryalty Bard's decisins." CRB's rulings under the current three judges wuld be rendered null and vid, and prceedings wuld have t be restarted. A ruling fr Live "wuld certainly thrw int questin the past rulings" f the CRB, says Ken Freundlich, ne f its attrneys. That's a result that SundExchange, which cllects digital perfrmance ryalties fr labels, wants t avid; it has intervened in the Live suit in defense f the CRB. Cngress culd step in and amend the law t require that the CRB judges be appinted by the president, thus reslving the cnstitutinal issue. But "just ppping in a simple fix isn't ging t be easy," says Freundlich, predicting that members f Cngress and industry lbbyists will be tempted t wrap the appintments issue in with substantive matters, including the fight ver perfrmance ryalties fr radi bradcasters and the apprpriate rates fr small webcasters. "'m sure that smewhere n Capitl Hill, there has already been lbbying ging n t fix the prblem," he says. n the meantime, Waltn has said he will make clear his views n the issue by the end f Octber, when he issues a full written pinin. All whse livelihd depends n the rulings f the CRB will, r shuld, be watching. Ben Sheffner is a cpyright attrney wh has represented mvie studis, TV netwrks and recrd labels. Sheffner currently wrks as an attrney in the NBC Universal Televisin Grup, which is 0% wned by Vivendi, the parent f Universal Music Grup. He is the authr f the Cpyrights ez Campaigns blg (cp yrightsa ndcampa igns. blgspt.cm). The Ryal Split RAA, NMPA Reach A Settlement Fr Withheld Funds The majr labels have reached an agreement that will prvide a windfall f mre than $4 millin in mechanical ryalty payments t music publishers, but the details f hw the funds will reach sngwriters still Publi need t be filled in. The deal- negtiated by the RAA, acting n behalf f the fur majrs, and the Natinal ED C Music Publishers' Assn. -will als set up a system t make sure labels will get prper mechanical licenses in a timely manner and eliminate the label practices f withhlding all ryalty payments fr an album when the ryalties fr a single track are the subject f a dispute amng sngwriters. The system shuld reduce the buildup f pending and unmatched funds. Until nw, majr labels have paid advances n mechanical cpyrights t the Harry Fx Agency t crn - pensate fr their practice f issuing albums befre sngwriting share disputes are reslved. Frm nw n, disputes ver the split n a sng will n lnger result in labels withhlding ryalty payuts n an entire album, and labels will nt withhld ryalties frm digital sales n albums when the CD versin is invlved in sngwriter share disputes. By law, cntrlled cmpsitin rates can't be applied t music sld digitally because that frmat must be paid at the full statutry rate fr all sngs n an album, thanks t the Digital Millennium Cpyright Act. Publishers that agree t the settlement will help reslve disputes amng sngwriters and waive late fees until the current mechanical rates expire at the end f 0. That's lking frward -nw let's lk at the settlement. A special master -Kenneth R. Feinberg, wh administered the September Victim Cmpensatin Fund and is currently administering TARP bailut funds fr the U.S. Department f the Treasury (Billbard.biz, Sept. ) -will take charge f disbursing the pending and unmatched funds. n the first stage, abut $4 millin in ryalties that accumulated befre 007 will be paid ut t publishers, accrding t market share. t's up t publishers t decide if they want t take this settlement r pursue payment thrugh ther means. Each majr will supply Feinberg's team with infrmatin abut publisher payuts frm 000 t 00 -even if sme f the funds accumulated befre that perid -and Feinberg will audit the data. Using the data frm each majr, he'll determine what percentage f each majr's mechanical ryalty payment that each publisher received. While each publisher's ryalty payment market share -and the crrespnding dllar amunt due -will be determined fr each majr, the publisher will nly get t see the ttal market share and the crrespnding amunt f the $4 millin it will get frm all fur majr labels. After seeing their amunt, publishers can challenge Feinshe!, berg and his team n their ver- Place all market share; if they can prve HRSTMAN their case, the payut wuld be adjusted accrdingly. "Yu dn't knw wh ught t be paid by definitin," RAA chairman Mitch Bainwl says. "S yu are trying t cme up i with an alternative methd in an bjective fashin and make payments that are fair, cnsistent and bjective." n phase tw, the majr labels will use the new system t pay ut the $0 millin in pending and unmatched funds fr After a year, whatever funds are left will be distributed accrding t publisher market share fr the perid. Whatever is left unclaimed frm bth phases will be returned t the majrs s that they can pay ryalties t publishers that didn't participate in the settlement. The prcess desn't gvern hw publishers r administratrs will then disburse these funds t sngwriters. Depending n their client cntracts, publishing administratrs may have t ask each publisher whether it wants t participate in the settlement. Once they receive the settlement funds, administratrs and publishers have t figure ut hw t share the funds with publishers and sngwriters, respectively. "All f that is dne utside the scpe f the settlement," NMPA president /CEO David sraelite says. "But administratrs and publishers are bund by cntract laws and have t fulfill fiduciary duties." The Sngwriters Guild f America, which has mre than,00 members, will be "extremely vigilant" abut whether the mney passes thrugh t the sngwriters, SGA president Rick Carnes says. "t's a prblem because it's a lump sum. But that puts the nus n the publisher, which has t lk at that perid f time and figure ut wh gets what frm the settlement." Overall, Carnes calls the settlement a "win - win," adding, "The fact that it's an pt -in settlement where yu get t lk at yur ptins allws peple t make a decisin." Feinberg wn't reslve wnership disputes, sraelite says. S if ne publisher bught a catalg during the perid in questin, the special master will pay whmever has the legal right t receive payment and let thse parties reslve any disputes themselves.

10 BY ANTONY BRUNO j Anther Chance Fr Ad- Supprted Music meem s On Life Supprt Frm Labels -But Let's nt engrave a tmbstne fr imeem just yet. Cnventinal wisdm had the cmpany ging ut f business befre the end f the year. The deathwatch began this spring after it underwent a rund f layffs and struggled t pay its licensing bligatins t recrd labels. Fllwing the demise f ther ad -based services like Spiralfrg and Ruckus, analysts began t questin the viability f the cmpany and the entire ad- supprted music business mdel. Yet bth are still arund, suggesting that the failure f previus ad- supprted music services was caused nt just by flaws in the nascent mdel, but by defects in its executin. One f the biggest criticisms abut using advertising t fund free music is that the cst f licensing the music is t high fr the revenue that can be gained frm advertising t supprt the mdel. Certainly a key element t imeem's cntinued survival is the fact that it wn cncessins frm all majr -label partners t reduce licensing csts. But the labels can't carry imeem and ther ad- supprted services frever: At sme pint, the services have t be accuntable fr their wn strategies. Mst f the failed adsupprted services tried t ffer a basic mdel where each sng streamed r dwnladed was attached in sme fashin t a display r vide ad that was slely respnsible fr paying fr the licensing cst f that sng and generating prfits fr the service. t was an easy mdel t explain t advertisers but didn't create enugh value t wrk. Frm the beginning, imeem has fcused n the harder -texplain strategy f selling expensive, custm ad campaigns that paired brands with artists in unique ways. Fr example, it teamed Dr Pepper with Fl Rida fr a campaign that let imeem users remix the track "Sugar" and share the resulting sng with the imeem cmmunity. n anther example, it matched the Truth antismking campaign with Epitaph Recrds t prvide a free cncert t imeem members that signed the cmpany's nline petitin. meem als creates custm playlists fr the likes f Fuse Energy Drink, breast cancer rganizatin Susan B. Kmen fr the Cure and Kia. Rather than simply slapping a plain banner ad against sngs an advertiser thinks its target audience is listening t, imeem lets the brand present thse sngs t users thrugh playlists that appear in members' search results. S if a fan was lking fr Sting, the search result wuld include the brand's playlist that includes sngs frm Sting as well as ther music Sting fans may like. The trick fr imeem has been t stay aflat lng enugh fr this mdel t take hld.

12 Fanatical: SHUNDA K f Y Majesty Y_ BY DANE COETZER The Digital Cntinent Bradband Cmes T Africa At Last JOHANNESBURG -Africa's music business hpes a new nline infrastructure and music services will finally ignite digital sales in Suth Africa and beynd. While physical sales were still grwing in Suth Africa as recently as 007, the expansin has leveled ff and started t drp recently. Recrding ndustry f Suth Africa data fr the year t Aug. shws a 7.% year -nyear drp in value acrss all physical frmats frm millin rand ($.9 millin) t 444 millin rand ($9. millin). RSA began mnitring digital sales Sept., with labels cnfident that a number f new develpments will bst nline and mbile dwnlads. The mst significant is the July arrival f Mauritius -based telc Seacm's undersea fiber ptic cable, which delivers high- capacity bandwidth t Suthern and Eastern Africa. This will bring high -speed nternet access t many Africans fr the first time. "Cheaper bandwidth means we can start maximizing ur digital pprtunities," says EM Suth Africa CEO rving Schlsberg, wh's als chairman f RSA. With three similar cables due t serve the regin by 0, labels -which have lng stressed the need fr credible music platfrms t help cnsumers take advantage f imprved bradband access -have als been buyed by the arrival f Nkia's all -yu- can -eat Cmes With Music service in Suth Africa. The Sept. launch fllwed the April 4 arrival f a lcal Nkia Music Stre. While Cmes With Music has seen mixed results in ther territries, Jake Larsen - Nkia head f music fr the Middle East and Africa -is cnfident its extensive catalg, lw entry price and "exceptinally cmpelling ffering" will give it market penetratin in Suth Africa. All fur majrs and mst lcal indies are nbard, with a high -prfile marketing campaign due befre Christmas. While sales figures aren't yet available, Larsen says the cmpany is "happy with take -up [sales]" n the Music Stre s far. Executives expect mbile frmats -which accunted fr 8% f Suth Africa's digital sales in 008, accrding t the FP -t dminate in the shrt term. "Mbile is prving t be a grwing incme stream," says Adrian Skirrw, wner f Jhannesburg -based indie ASP Recrds, lcal hme f techn act the Prdigy. "t's gd t see credible players like Nkia in the market. Hwever, nce bradband becmes quicker and cst -effective, we will see real returns n ur digital strategies." While sales f ringtnes and ringback tnes are falling in mst majr markets, the presence f s many entry -level phnes in Africa means such frmats remain strng sellers. Jhannesburg -based independent digital music mnitring cmpany Aquidneck estimates ttal mnthly digital sales f 4 millin acrss Suthern Africa (Suth Africa, Angla, Btswana, Lesth, Malawi, Swaziland, Tanzania and Zambia), with ringback tnes the mst ppular frmat. Mbile music presents "a wnderful grwth pprtunity," Schlsberg says. "We are wrking with different partners t explit ur catalg and are starting t see incme flwing." While many labels are ptimistic that new platfrms will kick -start the business, thers pint t recent high -prfile launches like nline media stre Prefueled and mbile entertainment platfrm Getm, which have bth struggled t make an impact. "n Africa, if there are t many steps invlved, music cnsumers just wn't buy," says Arthur Gldstuck, funder f Jhannesburg - based technlgy research cmpany Wrld Wide Wrx. "Cmplexity f platfrm equals failure, which is why yu've had several peratrs enter the market and achieve very little." Meanwhile, thers fear an explsin in bradband access culd lead t a parallel increase in nline piracy. RSA has mved t head ff such cncerns by arranging an Octber meeting with the nternet Service Prviders' Assn. t brker an agreement n dealing with file sharing. "t's a start t what we hpe will be an amicable way frward n illegal dwnlads," Schlsberg says.

True. `fanatic' Music Prm Cmpany Partners With EM /Carline T Launch Label Starting a new label in 009 wuld appear t be a dicey enugh prpsitin. But starting ne with a full -time staff f three while tending t a thriving marketing business seems like an impssible task. Jsh Blm is a true believer, thugh. He funded Fanatic Prmtin in 99 and has since wrked with My Mrning Jacket, the Decemberists, Sufjan Stevens. Girl Talk, Miranda July, Of Mntreal, Daniel The ndies CORTNEY HARDNG Jhnstn, Kings f Cnvenience. Dirty Prjectrs and VHS r Beta, amng thers. He dabbled in management and started a studi, Art Farm. But thrugh it all, he had ne bigger gal -a real recrd label. Blm and his partner, Sean Byd, are betting that Fanatic's brand name will help them in the sales arena. Byd adds that the crashing ecnmy helped frce their hand after years f talking abut whether t start a label. "We were frced t dwnsize," Byd says, "and we nw have a smaller rster, which Jsh is managing persnally, and we are develping deeper relatinships with ur cntacts and getting better results than ever because f it." As fr Blm, the label represents a natural utgrwth f his cre gals. "My biggest interest has always been artist develpment," he says. "'m at a pint where can lk at a picture f a band and immediately start thinking f ways it can be translated t an audience. 've always been frustrated by situatins where great bands hit a wall and n ne can figure ut hw t crss them ver t the mainstream and build a bigger audience." Blm, wh says that Fanatic Recrds has yet t sign any artists, has partnered with EM Label Services and Carline Distributin in rder t bring his acts t a wider audience. "'m ld schl," he says, explaining the decisin t partner with EM. "Part f my gal is t find bands that transcend the indie rck niche and t reach that wider audience f peple wh are still buying CDs and have mre traditinal listening habits. EM is really practive and they have a deep understanding f the music business." Dminic Pandiscia, senir VP /GM f EM Label Services, says that teaming with Fanatic was a n- brainer, despite its lack f a rster. "Fanatic has great platfrms, and they knw hw t maximize revenue," he says. "When yu cuple that with everything that EM Label Services has t ffer, including ur synch licensing and branding pprtunities, it's a great all- arund deal." n terms f which bands might get t take advantage f the deal, Blm says he's lking fr acts frm a wide range f genres, but has a few guidelines. " want t sign undiscvered artists," he says. "This culd change, but right nw, 'm lking fr artists t sign with us befre anything else has happened. Once an artist is part f the blg hype machine, it seems like they've already happened." T be able t fcus n building careers and artist develpment, Blm says he will sign bands t multi -album deals. "Artists will als have a prvisin in their cntracts where if they use ur studi and use Fanatic t d marketing and PR, the expenses assciated with that will nt be recupable," he says. "f an artist des want t g utside f Fanatic and use smene else, they can, but thse expenses will be recupable." Blm says he'd like t start releasing albums at the tp f 00 and has ambitius plans fr his schedule frm there n ut. "deally, we'd d ne pririty release a mnth," he says. "And then we'd supplement with sme digital -nly releases, r smething by an artist we are already wrking n the prm side." One f the artists hping t be part f that schedule is Shunda K f the hip -hp act Y Majesty. "Jsh helped Y Majesty and me fr tw years," she says. " want t sign t Fanatic and put ut a recrd in February r March. trust Jsh, and he has such a natural ability t find great artists." - Fr 4/7 indies news and analysis, see biz billbard.biz /indies r fllw billbardindies n Twitter.

13 SLAND DEF JAM MUSC GROUP SENOR VP OF A &R The recently appinted DJ executive prepares t reignite West Cast hip -hp. Max Gusse made the unlikely transitin frm sprts law t A &R early in his career, and frm all indicatins, he seems t have hit a hme run. The new senir VP f A &R fr sland Def Jam Music Grup attended St. Jhn's University in New Yrk and Flrida nternatinal University in Miami in the early '90s, where he planned t parlay his lve f sprts -particularly baseball -and interest in law int a career as a sprts attrney. But he was drawn t music when he started wrking at the interactive music vide channel Jukebx Netwrk under Les Garland while still in schl. The jb led t meetings with key industry figures, including Sylvia Rhne and rving Azff, and Gusse was eventually ffered a New Yrk A &R pst at the Azff -helmed Giant Recrds. He segued frm Giant t his wn label, Mecca Dn Recrds, befre mving t MCA Music Publishing as senir directr in 998. Jining Epic as senir directr f A &R a year later, Gusse signed BK befre being recruited by Mathew Knwles at Sanctuary Management in 00 and then mving t Music Wrld Entertainment in 004. During his fur - year stint, Gusse served as senir VP f A &R befre advancing t executive VP f A &R and new business develpment, where he supervised Beyncé's multiplatinum "B'Day" and " Am... Sasha Fierce" albums. The Ls Angeles -based Gusse nw versees the entire range f A &R activities fr sland Def Jam n the West Cast, signing new talent- artists, prducers, sngwriters - as well as wrking with acts already nbard. One f the first prjects cmpleted under Gusse's watch: Amerie's new album, "n Lve & War," due Nv.. Why did the label decide t increase sland Def Jam's West Cast presence? DJ hasn't had an A &R presence here fr a while; nt since early 008. We've beefed up the West Cast significantly, adding senir A&R directrs Angel Sanders, frmerly with Aftermath, and David "Tuch" Wright, wh was with the prductin team the Underdgs. My plan is t bring in fur t six new acts frm the Western regin wh are culturally relevant t Def Jam, wh can help shape and make the label int mre f a lifestyle entity n the West Cast. T d that, we have t sign yunger acts and push sme f the music trends that are develping up and dwn the cast. What are sme f thse develping music trends? There's a new energy here that's different frm the rest f the cuntry; a mvement f yung kids wh dn't necessarily buy int traditinal hits. They're ac- tually mre in tune with what's ging n in undergrund hip -hp t the pint where they create their wn style f dress and speaking. f we can tap int that yuth culture, we can make significant gains. s an example f this the Jerkin' Mvement, which is being ppularized by acts like the New Byz? Yes, it's definitely a trend. Nt just a music thing but a culture and lifestyle thing in terms f the jerk dance, the style f dress [multiclred skinny jeans and ftwear] and the artists these kids are listening t. The New Byz kind f pened the gate and had a big single [ "Yu're a Jerk "]. They were able t get n lcal radi, then the sng blew up and spread natinally -that speaks vlumes fr this trend. think we'll see ther artists here cntinue t develp alng thse lines. Have yu signed any acts yet? We just signed YG, a 9- year -ld rapper frm Cmptn, Calif. He's a very talented kid with a large fllwing he's attracted thrugh MySpace. He speaks t that audience. Althugh he has n radi play yet, they g t his club shws and knw every lyric t every ne f his sngs. YG isn't a dancer per se, but he's kind f an OG wh's been at the frefrnt f the jerk scene. They've danced t his music fr the past three years. s Ls Angeles becming a creative htbed again? definitely see that. The quality f the facilities here has a lt t d with it, and there seems t be mre f a cllabrative feeling between prducers and sngwriters here versus ther cities, where there tends t be mre camps and cliques. There's a cncentratin f prducers here that sngwriters can wrk with withut necessarily having had a N. recrd. These prducers include Wayne Wilkins, wh c- prduced Bey - ncé's "Sweet Dreams "; there's als Sulshck & Karlin, Harvey Masn Jr., the Steretypes, the C- Stars, Dr. Luke and RedOne. Yu als have Tricky Stewart and the -Dream wrking here a lt alng with Sean Garrett, Jim Jn - sin and Ric Lve. What d yu lk fr when cnsidering an act? lk fr cnfidence, even sme cckiness. f yu're asking me t invest in yu, yu have t be able t carry the ball nce we make that investment. And if yu can write, that's all the better. But it's nt necessarily required because A &R [reps] are suppsed t bring sngs. als lk fr stage presence: Are yu an artist wh's ut gigging and building a fan base? f this is ging t be yur craft, yu have t be wrking in it every day. The marketability f the artist is imprtant t. My team and have t quarterback the artist's prject, s that artist must be able t cnvey what his visin is and then tgether we can cnvey that t the rest f the cmpany s they can help execute it. Hw much time d yu devte t develpment? t depends n the level f develpment the act has already reached. f it's smene with a great vice and cnfidence but wh has never really recrded, it culd be a six- t -mnth prcess as far as helping them perfect their sund. Yu want t be able t present the artist alng with a visin and nt just a bunch f randm sngs. Yu want t paint a picture fr the label. s radi still relevant t breaking new acts? definitely see radi statin playlists pening up; radi is experimenting with different sunds. The barriers that were nce at pp have definitely fallen: A lt f urban recrds are turning int pp recrds, and pp statins are playing cuntry sngs. Yu have mre cnsumers wh are int different genres. And yu'll find as that trend cntinues, radi statins will have t adjust their playlists. What will be the final utcme f the singles vs. albums battle? Yu have a segment f the audience wh still lves t buy albums. But yu als have a yunger segment f the audience fr whm it's all abut the single.

16 Nw, Fernández is preparing t simultaneusly release a rancher album and a pp album, each with different tracks, different prducers and different marketing and sales teams. Titled "Ds Munds Tradición" and "Ds Munds Evlución," the prject is set t hit stres Dec. 8, with the pp album ut n Universal Music Latin and the ranchera album ut n Fnvisa, bth sister labels under Universal Music Latin Entertainment (UMLE)-althugh Fernández is signed t Universal Music Latin. Being split between tw genres "is what 've lived," he says. " started in Mexican music and later went n t pp, and did very well. But hadn't released a rancher album in a lng time. This has been a game, in a way: We've brught ranchera [music] clser t pp and pp a little clser t Mexican music." Ranchera music, the dramatic, gut- wrenching Mexican sngs that are usually perfrmed with a mariachi band, is a subgenre f reginal Mexican music that culdn't be mre different frm the mre subtle, rmantic leanings f pp. Althugh a handful f artists, mst ntably Marc Antni Slís, Pepe Aguilar and Ana Gabriel, have tackled bth genres (see stry, belw), having tw cmpletely different albums be released simultaneusly has never been dne in the Latin realm, in any genre. But it's a mve Fernández thinks will benefit his career. "Alejandr lives, sings, enjys the tw wrlds- rancher and pp," says Jesús López, chairman f Universal Music Latin America/ berian Peninsula, wh als heads UMLE, Universal's Latin music peratin in the United States. "Frm the nset, Alejandr and said `We've brught ranchera clser t pp and pp a little clser t Mexican music. -ALEJANDRO FERNÁNDEZ that if the tw wrlds cexisted n a daily basis in his life and in his cncerts, why nt have them als cexist n his albums?" The tw albums are titled "Ds Munds Tradición" (Tw Wrlds Traditin) and "Ds Munds Evlución" (Tw Wrlds Evlutin). Save fr ne track penned by Slís, the traditinal album was written and prduced by reginal Mexican star Jan Sebastian, wh als wrte an album fr Vicente Fernández last year. The pp album brings tgether multiple prducers and sngwriters, including Kike Santander and Aure Baqueir, with whm Fernández had wrked befre n previus albums. Bth albums sund, f curse, like Fernández, whse trademark vice -a ptent tenr that's ne f the mst distinctive and dwnright beautiful in the genre -can g frm pp crning t bravad mariachi with equal cnvictin. But the arrangements run the gamut frm the familiar t ttal departure, with the traditinal album ften veering int cuntry and Tex -Mex territry while the pp album ges frm the acustic t what Fernández's manager Carls de la Trre calls "Mexican sul," given its mix f cntemprary and traditin. This mix is at the heart f "Ds Munds," de la Trre says. "Alejandr has that duality. He can put n an Armani suit and ranchera bts. And because he has thse very Mexican rts, yu believe it." That paradx, de la Trre adds, will be present in every phase f the tw albums' prmtin. Different singles, fr example, are being wrked t each genre. The prmise f dual DOUBLE PLAY With its vast array f subgenres and styles, Latin music has lng been a breeding grund fr artists t recrd in multiple genres. And because the vast majrity f Latins in the United States are f Mexican descent, Mexican music has been the mst visible genre t appear in the repertire f pp artists, with multiple acts thrugh the years traveling between the tw genres. Tday, Alejandr Fernández is nt the nly Latin artist with a dual persnality. Marc Antni Slís, Pepe Aguilar and Pabl Mnter all recrd in pp and mari - achi -and, irnically, Fernández, Slís and Aguilar have garnered their biggest single album sales in the United States frm pp releases. Fernández sld mre than half a millin cpies in the United States f his pp debut, "Me Esty Enamrand," accrding t Nielsen Sund- Scan. Aguilar, established as a rmantic rancher singer, garnered his biggest sales -0,000 cpies -frm "Pr Mujeres Cm Tú," an album that blended pp and rancher sensibilities. And Slís had his best sales, 4,000, with "Trzs de Mi Alma," his first all -pp album. The phenmenn isn't cnfined t the present: Linda Rnstadt, the tp - selling female rck singer f her day, made histry when she recrded an all - mariachi album, "Cancines de Mi Padre," and the late Tejan singer Selena recrded bth Tejan and pp, in English and Spanish. Beynd thse tw genres, in 00, Shakira released her "Fijación Oral" and "Oral Fixatin" albums in Spanish and English, within mnths f each ther, featuring nly a few shared tracks. And Marc Anthny recrds nt nly in uwar tel supprt was imprtant t Fernández, wh signed t Universal late last year after a lifetime n Sny Latin, and wh was anxius t release a ranchera album after years dedicated t expanding his career verseas. T date, Fernández has sld mre than. millin albums in the United States, accrding t Nielsen SundScan. And while mst Latin acts talk abut crssing ver frm Spanish t English, Fernández is ne f a handful f artists wh have managed t becme superstars by crssing ver Latin Artists Wh Crss Over T Pp Can Get A Sales Bst English and Spanish but als in salsa and pp. n 004, he released the pp set "Amar Sin Mentiras" and, within weeks, its cunterpart, "Valió la Pena," featuring salsa versins f many f the same tracks. Bth albums reached N. n Billbard's Tp Latin Albums chart. Singing in English and Spanish and in pp and salsa is like "having tw arms," Anthny nce tld Billbard. " was brn and raised in East Harlem. The music my mther and grandmther heard at hme wasn't what heard with my friends. But my parents tk the time t expse me t that culture.

And Fernández has been equally successful in reginal Mexican music. "He represents what is traditinal and cntemprary in Mexican music," López says. "That's what makes him unique. N ne else can live in thse tw wrlds s easily and with such artistic quality." n this case, it may be Fernández battling with himself fr a N. ; n Oct., Fernández's tw singles were sent simultaneusly t radi. The pp track, "Se Me Va La Vz," was written by Tabaré and prduced by Baqueir while the rancher sng, " Estuve," was written and prduced by Sebastian. Fernández previewed bth tracks fr fans n his Twitter accunt. Bth albums will be prmted digitally n itunes' Cuntdwn feature. "The marketing will be dne jintly between Fnvisa and Latin," says Universal Music Latin president Walter Klm. "The entire marketing strategy ges hand in hand.

17 7 THE BLLBOARD Q&A: ALE JAN D RO FER4ANDEZ As Alejandr Fernández prepares t release "Ds Munds Tradición" and "Ds Munds Evlución," he's ding duble duty as a singer f ranchera music and ne f Latin music's leading pp stars. Klm says. "An artist with this duality with a cmpany like Universal that has tw separate labels." On the Mexican end, says Disa /Fnvisa president Gustav López, "the reginal prductin is the mst anticipated album this fall in the Mexican music arena. The cmbinatin f Alejandr Fernández and Jan Sebastian prducing is a dream cme true." The fact that Fernández has been recrding mre in pp than ranchera in the past few years has n bearing n the album's pssibilities, Gustav López says. "He was a huge reginal star befre breaking in pp." Fernández is the yungest sn f Vicente Fernández, widely cnsidered the mst prminent living ranchera singer and ne f Latin music's biggest icns. As Vicente's sn, Alejandr was pushed int the limelight early; when he was barely years ld, he tk the stage with his father fr the first time, panicked and began t cry. The yunger Fernández went n t study architecture but eventually fund his way back t music, releasing his self -titled debut album in 99 and launching ne f the mst prlific, successful and memrable careers in the Latin realm. Fernández traverses pp and ranchera with ease beynd his recrdings as well. n his shws, he perfrms pp and ranchera sets, first dressed in jeans r a suit and accmpanied by a pp band, then clad in a full charr utfit and accmpanied by a mariachi. While he can easily play theaters in Spain and arenas in the United States and Latin America, in Mexic, Fernández perfrms during traditinal celebratins acrss the cuntry and in palenques, the circular theaters fund in many Mexican cities that can seat up t,000. n these settings, he always perfrms dressed in Mexican garb. VCENTE FERNÁNDEZ (left) and ALEJANDRO FERNÁNDEZ perfrm in Guadalajara t encurage turism t Mexic. Capturing the duality f bth wrlds in all marketing material was imprtant, de la Trre says, and althugh each album has its wn identity, bth the vides and the albums' art and cncept will cme tgether at sme pint. The albums' art, fr example, which is still in the planning stages, may depict Fernández divided between his tw wrlds, dressed as an internatinal artist in a traditinal Mexican hacienda r as a Mexican charr in frnt f a mdern building. But while in the past Fernández had pictures taken in different cities and cuntries, this time everything will center in Mexic, specifically in his hme state f Jalisc. t is, de la Trre says, the cntrast f smething very mdern with smething very Mexican. Universal is still in the prcess f aligning spnsrs and media partners fr the album releases, including partnerships with mbile carriers in different Latin American cuntries. Fernández, hwever, has never been big n spnsrship deals, and thse he strikes hit dse t hme, as is the case with Grup Mdel, the maker f Crna Beer, which spnsred his last tur and with whm cnversatins are beginning fr his next tur. Althugh sales are dwn and the ecnmy is ailing, de la Trre says that securing a spnsr still isn't essential t Fernández's prject. " think we have t shw fans that we stand by wh we are and we will cntinue t recrd gd sngs," he says. "Our cmmitment t the fans has t cntinue, and times like this are when yu mst have t cncentrate in releasing great sngs. We have t cntinue t think psitive. They say winners aren't thse wh d things differently. Winners are thse wh d different things. That's what we're ding.", Why release tw albums simultaneusly? We planned it t attack the tw markets and the tw targets. Nrmally, when yu release an album in ne genre, it takes at least three years t return t it, and yu culd lse yur ther audience. What we wanted t d was reach bth markets at the same time. hadn't recrded a Mexican album in almst six years and had that need t d it -and think the fans were anxius fr it as well. Althugh 've dne very well with pp, and in a way, the pp that we d sunds very Mexican. Ding such a release has never been dne. Are yu nervus? N. On the cntrary, think it will be excellent fr my career. Universal is in lve with the prject, the album, the sngs. Jesús [López, chairman f Universal Music Latin America /berian Peninsula and head f Universal Music Latin Entertainment] has made me feel at hme. Yu're wrking n the album imaging nw. What's the idea? We're playing a little with the album cncept. t will bring yu clse in a way t the tw wrlds that 've lived: the cuntryside, the farm, the animals, but 've als lived an urban life in the city. t's the first time we're wrking with the phtgrapher and the art designer at the same time. Yur Mexican cncerts in yur hme state f Jalisc t prmte turism were a huge success. Did their planning have anything t d with yur albums? N. That was abut supprting the secretary f turism, particularly because Guadalajara was ging thrugh a very rugh time. And then, with the swine flu, n ne really knew what culd happen. What we wanted t d was tell the wrld that everything was OK. Yu play almst every weekend, and yu play many shws during Mexican festivities arund the cuntry and in palenques, but yu als perfrm in arenas and theaters. Are the shws cmpletely different? The theatrical presentatins have far mre prductin value, but the vibe that yu have live in a palenque is incmparable. t becmes addictive. Thse cncerts are mre relaxed, mre bhemian. Yu can tell that peple are really there t enjy themselves. We als play pp in the palenque shws, but we dn't have any changes. perfrm dressed in charr garb the entire time. But we d have great lighting prductin, screens, that kind f thing. nitially yu were thinking f releasing nly a pp album, and then yu had an encunter with prducer /sngwriter Jan Sebastian. What can yu say abut that? We knew we wanted t recrd a rancher album. n fact, we'd thught abut Jan Sebastian [t prduce it], but then he did the album fr my father and we shelved that ptin. As we were lking fr a rancher prducer, Jan came up t me during a shw in a palenque and said, "Alex, 've cme t say hell and t tell yu want t d an album with yu. t's smething 've been planning fr a lng time." And said, "Oh, cme n!" Because we didn't want t repeat [what my father had dne]. And he said, "N, n, n, Alex. have sngs. Let me play them fr yu and yu tell me if they sund like yur Dad's." And he'd brught a CD player and he played the sngs, and my jaw drpped. They were ttally different frm what he'd dne with my dad. S had t d it. And n the ther end, the pp album was already well n its way. Sme f the sngs aren't traditinal mariachi. Sme tracks sund almst cuntry. t's a universal mix. That's why say that what we did was bring pp clser t Mexican music and Mexican music clser t pp. But there are sngs that are ttally mariachi. And yu d hear the mariachi in full, but perfrmed in a different way and with different instruments. When yu recrd pp and rancher, d yu have t be in a different mindset t d each? Yu sing them in a cmpletely different way. They are tw cmpletely different genres. Rancher is strnger, mre passinate, it has mre energy. f yu sing a pp sng in that manner, it desn't sund well. Yu really have t change yur mental channel when yu g frm rancher t pp. But with this album, ding tw sets f material, truth is, 'm exhausted. Culd yu live, say, in Miami? Fr a bit. Maybe n vacatin fr fur, five mnths. But leave behind Mexic, my hme, my rts and all my culture? That wuld be hard. -LC OCTOBER 7, 009

18 BLLBOARD OCTOBER BY MARK SUTHERLAND PHOTOGRAPH BY OLVER GAST Smetimes, much weirder things happen at the MTV Vide Music Awards than Kanye West interrupting an acceptance speech. Take the 008 VMAs ceremny, fr example, when the A -list glamur f Hllywd's Paramunt Studis red carpet was upset by the entrance f fur teenage cybrgs with prepsterus hair that std atp an enrmus mnster truck. Emblazned with their band name in ft -high letters, the truck was the cybrgs' nt- particularly -subtle way f telling America what the rest f the planet already knew: Tki Htel had arrived. S far, s Eurtrash gatecrasher. Tki Htel -a curius electr- Gth -glam -em by band that had climbed n higher than N. 9 n the Billbard 00 -had what seemed a tken nminatin in the fan -vted best new artist categry. t was up against the crème de la crème f U.S. female pp: Miley Cyrus, Katy Perry, Jrdin Sparks and -h, the irny -Taylr Swift. The likelihd f Tki Htel winning seemed abut equal t that f Satan ice skating t wrk the next day. "We were at the awards watching it utside n a massive screen," recalls Martin Kierszenbaum, chairman f Tki Htel's U.S. label, Cherrytree Recrds, as well as president f A &R fr pp /rck at nterscpe and head f internatinal peratins fr nterscpe Geffen A &M. " was half -distracted because didn't really expect them t win -it just seemed a little... hpeful. But they annunced it and suddenly [nterscpe marketing executive] Bb Jhnsen just punched me as hard as he culd n the arm. Bm!" The band and mst f the audience were similarly dumbstruck. Yet n ne saw the need t interrupt singer Bill Kaulitz -the ne wh lks like a crss be- tween a Bratz dll and a cckat -during his incredulus acceptance speech. "T be hnest, it wuld have been a gd mment if smene had cme nstage," Kaulitz reminisces a year later. " was nstage at the VMAs and was speechless." "We gt very drunk," says his guitarist twin brther Tm with a laugh -he's the ne wh lks like a crss between Predatr and a Jnas Brther. "Even thugh we can't drink in the U.S. until we're." The next day, they weren't the nly nes suffering. "Man, had a charley hrse frm that night," Kierszenbaum says with a laugh. "But 'll take a charley hrse any day if it means winning an award." One suspects many in the Tki Htel camp have been sprting similar injuries in the last fur years. The band acknwledges the VMA win as "the biggest thing in ur entire career," but in truth it was just anther mment in a career trajectry that has defied cnventinal wisdm, internatinal bundaries and, at times, lgic. Frmed in the East German twn f Magdeburg, the band - which als features bassist Gerg Listing and drummer Gustav Schäfer, the tw wh lk like they've cme t fix the Kaulitz brthers' car and cmputer, respectively -began playing under the name Devilish in 00. A deal with Sny BMG fllwed. But Tki Htel was drpped in 00 when the members were just -a decisin that, in pure cmmercial terms, is starting t cmpare t Decca's rejectin f the Beatles. Undeterred, the twins signed with Universal Music Germany and quickly became a ht prperty with their 00 German -language debut, "Schrei." And there, frankly, the stry shuld stp. German -language pp music is right up there with English cuisine and American diplmacy as cncepts that shuldn't travel and usually dn't. At all. Nt since Nena's hit "99 Luftballns"- cited by Bill as a frmative influence -had sngs with umlauts made it beynd the Magint Line. Yet "Schrei" didn't just reach N. in Germany and Austria and tp three in Switzerland. t hit the tp 0 in Greece, Hungary, the Czech Republic and Pland and, almst unprecedentedly, N. in France -a cuntry that traditinally regards German pp music in much the same way it lked at Gerge Bush -while peaking n Billbard's Eurpean Tp 00 Albums chart at N.. The fllw -up, 007's "Zimmer 48," did even better, peaking n Eurpean Tp 00 Albums at N. 4. t hit N. in Germany and N. in France; went tp 0 in Austria, Switzerland, Greece, Hungary, the Czech Republic and Pland; and charted everywhere frm Finland t taly. The band even perfrmed in Tel Aviv -a rarity fr German -speaking artists -after sraeli fans launched a petitin demanding a cncert. "t was strange," Tm says with a shrug f such crss -brder success, "but cl. Our fans started t learn German s they culd sing alng." At the same time, hwever, executives and band members alike were at smething f a lss t explain the grup's appeal. Bill cites the band's frmidable nline presence as a factr, while executives cite Bill's extic lk as crucial in attracting media attentin and a vcal female fan base. Any time that might have been used t cntemplate this puzzle the twins spent learning English in a bid t cnquer the cuntries that hadn't yet embraced the grup's cyber -Gth persna. n 007, Tki Htel released its first English -language album, "Scream," featuring sngs frm the first tw German albums sung in English. t has sld 7,000 U.S. cpies, accrding t Nielsen SundScan, spending weeks n the Billbard 00. t was als a hit acrss Eurpe, bringing the band's first tp 0 success in taly, the Netherlands, Prtugal, Sweden and Flanders.

Tki Htel's new album, "Humanid," came ut almst simultaneusly arund the wrld -Oct. in Germany and cntinental Eurpe, Oct. in the United States -in bth German and English versins. "t's necessary we stick t the German -language rigins in sme markets," says Crnelius Ballin, the Berlin -based directr f internatinal explitatin at Universal Music Germany. "But English is the internatinal language f music and the band wants t be heard in that language as well. Each territry will fcus n ne versin but as they have fans wh want t get their hands n everything, [mst cuntries] will put bth ut." n the United States, a Best Buy- exclusive versin f the album will feature the German album alngside the English ne in a tw -CD package. This time the band recrded tw versins f every sng at nce. "t's nt a ne -t -ne translatin this time," Tm says. "The sngs are arund the same tpic but we had t view them as different things really. "We're wrking twice as hard as any ther band," Bill says with a laugh. " feel cmfrtable with the English versins this time.

"Media Markt have an internatinal presence that allws us t crdinate the campaign acrss the markets." The deal culd help Media Markt as well.

There are certainly early signs f success. n August, Per Sundin, managing directr f Universal Music Sweden, tld the Swedish press that his cmpany nw earns mre revenue frm Sptify than itunes. But that's in Sweden, where the service was brn and where itunes desn't have the dminant hld n the digital music market it des elsewhere. "We've seen incme frm Sptify fllw a steep grwth curve since launch," says Paul Smernicki, directr f digital and direct-t- cnsumer at Universal U.K.'s Plydr Recrds. "Excluding mbile, they are pretty high up the list as a revenue stream fr us. But we're certainly nt in the same psitin as Sweden." Sctt Chen, the Lndn -based funder /VP f internatinal at the digital distributin and marketing cmpany the Orchard, says Sptify is already bsting incme fr labels in tw ways. "First, the mre tracks are streamed n Sptify the mre dwnlads ccur n ther services," he says. "We are nt seeing any cannibalizatin. Secnd, revenue streams frm advertising have been steadily increasing and have vertaken many niche stres in Eurpe." But the ad- supprted free service alne can't generate the revenue Sptify needs t pay fr the music it plays. The cmpany reprted a net lss f $4 millin last year, and its decisin t limit its free service in the United Kingdm t invited guests implies a high burn rate. That means Sptify has t increase the number f users fr its premium service. S far, hwever, music subscriptin services like Rhapsdy and Napster haven't been able t reach a mass audience. n its mst recent quarterly earnings reprt, RealNetwrks said Rhapsdy has abut 70,000 subscribers. Napster had 700,000 subscribers when Best Buy acquired the cmpany last year, but hasn't released updated figures since. While Sptify plans t make mbile access a key element f its cnversin strategy, the mbile music market has als yet t take ff. Sptify has cnfirmed it will launch in the United States with a "slightly different mdel" than in Eurpe, althugh it has yet t disclse details. OCTOBER 7, 009

22 BLLBOARD OCTOBER ' Sptify THE AD- FUNDED MODEL Calling Sptify a free ad- funded music streaming service wuld be accurate but unfair. The cmpany has paying custmers, but they number less than 0% f its user base, accrding t cmments frm CEO Daniel Ek at a recent Lndn cnference. And cmpany executives say that's unlikely t change. "We expect the large majrity f ur users t stay with free," says Gustav Söderström, wh left his jb as directr f business develpment at Yah t jin Sptify as its head f mbile. "We're mnetizing it thrugh ads and thrugh selling dwnlads [thrugh its partnership with 7digital], s it's a significant revenue surce." S far, n ad- funded service has been able t turn a prfit frm advertising and dwnlad revenue alne. Which is why Sptify desn't intend t. Using the "freemium" mdel, the cmpany hpes t cnvert a prtin f its free user base t the premium tier. The free Sptify service culd be seen as a custmer acquisitin play -and perhaps nt the mst expensive ne ut there. Napster nce estimated its custmer acquisitin cst at $00 per user, due t all the advertising needed t explain its subscriptin mdel. "t makes the [custmer acquisitin] prcess easier than [it wuld be] if yu start with n users," Söderström says. "Yu have t put a lt f marketing dllars int getting users' attentin t even cnsider signing up. We dn't have t d that." Free access t any sng n demand is pwerful bait and Sptify ffers what amunts t an indefinite trial perid. Rhapsdy and Napster usually limit their trial perids t abut a week, after which users either need t pay r use nly 0- secnd samples. (Rhapsdy allws nn -paying users t stream free sngs per mnth.) That may nt be enugh time t get users hked n the access mdel. Despite the ppularity f Sptify's free tier in Eurpe, Rhapsdy America VP f business management Neil Smith dubts it will rll ut the same way stateside. "The reasn Sptify blew up s big and s fast was it was free," he says. "That mdel isn't ging t happen in the U.S. anytime sn, maybe ever. The U.S. is the market where the labels make all their mney. They can't affrd t have a service that desn't generate substantial revenue suck up all the usage. f it was $ [per mnth] ut f the gate, it wuldn't have a millin users. Once yu take the free piece away, we cmpete pretty well." S Sptify will have t ensure its ad- supprted service remains wrthwhile and nt degrade it in rder t push users t the paid versin. Devaluing the free service wuld risk lsing users, which in turn wuld threaten its functin as a custmer acquisitin tl as well as limit any hpes f generating revenue frm it. THE SUBSCRPTON MODEL Fr all the hype Sptify gets fr the ppularity f its free tier, there's n guarantee it can match that success as a paid service. Until its mbile ptin launched, Sptify's premium tier nly ffered the eliminatin f ads -which weren't very intrusive t begin with-and slightly better audi quality. The iphne and Andrid apps add prtability t that mix, but it's still nt much different in price r functin t prtable subscriptin ffers frm Rhapsdy and Napster. "The value prpsitin f subscriptin has t change," Fr - rester's Gandhi says. "There has t be wnership. There has t be smething besides just renting music." Gandhi specifically pints t subscriptin plans that allw users t keep a certain number f sngs per mnth, such as the five tracks Napster gives away as part f its $- per -mnth streaming plan and Zune's 0 free dwnlads. Anther ptin cmes frm Pali Capital analyst Richard Greenfield, wh recently suggested that mbile peratrs and nternet service prviders shuld bundle the Sptify premium service int their data plans. The idea f bundling is nthing new, but Sptify's ability t synch cntent acrss the different platfrms makes it a mre viable ptin. Söderström says Sptify wuld cnsider such ptins, but nly if they weren't exclusive. Q i9rerners Q srt, garfunke Q year90-9 Yu!,t Pund J; Freddy Braz :lectr r, Champagne Evening r, Sleepy Evening 'f.

But it desn't want t psitin itself as a mbile service. " wuldn't say Sptify is a mbile service first," Söderström says. "Yu're ging t d the majrity f yur brwsing and discvery n yur desktp, at least fr sme time. But if yu want t use Sptify as yur primary music service, then yu're ging t need the mbile ptin." Previus prtable subscriptin ptins required transferring tracks frm desktp t prtable device, which users needed t synch with an nline service at least nce per mnth t refresh the licenses. Services were based n digital rights management technlgy frm Micrsft that had a reputatin fr being unreliable -and the dminance f the ipd had made them irrelevant. Sptify gets arund this by using mbile phnes t stream the music rather than dwnlad it. Since mbile netwrks are ntriusly unreliable, it created a way t temprarily cache mre than,000 sngs n supprting mbile phnes, withut using the 0 GB f strage nrmally required t d s- althugh users must still cnnect t Sptify every 0 days t verify their premium subscriber status. Mbile ptins have already paid huge dividends fr music services like Slacker, Pandra and Clear Channel's iheartradi. Pandra, fr example, says mre than 4,000 f the,000 new registratins it gets every day cme frm its varius mbile apps. "Our future is ging t be mre mbile - centric than had even thught, and sner," Pandra funder Tim Westergren says. But thse are free applicatins. Rhapsdy beat Sptify t the U.S. market with an iphne app that lets users paying $ per mnth stream any sng frm the service's catalg as well as their playlists and nternet radi statins, but t date it desn't have a lcal caching ptin.

Accrding t a Frrester Research study, 7% f U.K. mbile subscribers with nternet access use their phne t play music at least mnthly. n the United States, that figure is nly 0 %. U.S. mbile peratrs and labels alike hpe Sptify will help gse these figures. "There's definitely ptential there," says ne mbile peratr. " think we'll get the typical technlgy hype curve -lts f hype ging int market, pause and then either decline r hype again based n reality. Sptify has a chance t be a big deal." THE EUROPEAN MODEL Sptify's Eurpean success is impressive, but the U.S. market can be mre cmpetitive -and mre fickle. "Sptify has a gd chance f success in the States if they can make the right distributin partnerships," the Orchard's Chen says. "But it will require a different strategy than in Eurpe." And a win stateside wuld d much mre than just cement Sptify as a legitimate player in the glbal digital music game. t will finally braden the digital music market beynd itunes and add a new usage mdel beynd track sales. "Sptify is nt the first streaming service in the wrld, just like itunes wasn't the first digital dwnlad stre," Chen says. "What it des that is s special is make a fairly cmplex mdel seem easy t execute. They have a great team running the crn - pany and wuldn't bet against them." And while ther U.S. music industry surces remain nly cautiusly ptimistic, Sptify has cnfidence. "There are certainly mre music services in the U.S. than there are in Eurpe," Söderström says. "S, yes, it's mre cmpetitive. But still think we have a better experience and a better ffer. We wuldn't d it if we thught we were ging t lse." Additinal reprting by Andre Paine in Lndn. 7, 009

23 Funny stuff: The Frank Erwin Center at the University f Texas in Austin (far left) has presented ROBN WLLAMS (tp) and GEORGE LOPEZ. Campus Cncerts Adjust T Tight Ecnmy BY MTCHELL PETERS Live entertainment is still a majr draw at university venues acrss the cuntry, but the challenged ecnmy in 009 has frced sme schls t cut back n student activities budgets designated fr bringing musical acts and cmedians t perfrm in campus buildings. As a result, many clleges are reviewing the types f acts they bk as well as the frequency f campus cncerts, industry bservers say. "The upper administratin at clleges is definitely paying attentin t budgets a little mre due t this recessin," says Tdd Ericksn, an agent at the Mre Music Grup, a cmpany that serves as the middle agent between clleges and talent. " saw an impact frm the ecnmy fr this fall semester... but think things will change back in the spring." Jamie Kelsall, a bking agent at the Agency fr the Perfrming Arts, says campus entertainment cmmittees are spending their mney mre wisely. "They'll d tw r three f the small [bands], rather than putting all their mney int ne act," Kelsall says, nting that the events are then transfrmed int a mre festival -type envirnment. "t's certainly n surprise, because their budgets have definitely been cut." n light f tighter entertainment budgets at many clleges, sme develping artists have agreed t lwer perfrmance fees t play campuses and build strnger student fan bases, accrding t Jn Shyer, directr at StarPlish Presents, anther middle agent that assists clleges with bking cncerts. "They're definitely flexible n their numbers," Shyer says, declining t name specific acts. "[Bking agents] dn't want t express that initially- because f negtiatin reasns -but we get ne a week saying, 'This band is lking t fill these dates.' " Kelsall agrees that the challenged ecnmy has frced sme artists wh rely heavily n turing as their primary surce f revenue t re- evaluate hw much they charge fr shws. "The smartest bands realize that in rder t remain n the rad, they have t wrk as much as they can with the buyer," says Kelsall, wh bks cllege -friendly acts like Jack's Mannequin, Eric Hutchinsn, Three Mafia, Fl Rida, Flgging Mlly and the Gaslight Anthem. n additin t being mre flexible with guarantees, many artists ffer additinal services t clleges, including lectures and afternn perfrmances. "Numerus artists are willing t cme t schls early and prmte their shw by playing a small acustic perfrmance t bring mre students t the shw," Shyer says. "And frm ur rster, the Kicks and Craig Cardiff use their experience in the music business t teach students in a tw -part lecture and perfrmance n cllege campuses." Adam Tbey, senir VP at the middle agent cmpany Cncert deas, says mre clleges are bking cmedians because their material is viewed as a sure bet, cmpared with hit -driven music acts. Cllege events featuring cmedians frm ppular TV shws usually result in successful ticket sales, because students are mre likely t attend events that are tied t smething they're familiar with, accrding t Ericksn. "Fr marketing purpses, if [the act is] frm a TV shw, everybdy will knw that shw and they'll be drawn t it, whether it's smene frm 'Saturday Night Live' r a half -hur cmedy special n Cmedy Central," he says, citing a recent shw with "SNL" cmic Kenan Thmpsn. Bking cmedy is als smetimes a safer mve because it has a wide appeal t students frm all walks f life. "Everybdy lves t laugh," Ericksn says. "S with cmedy, it's nt like yu're trying t appeal t a certain persn wh may like hard rck r hip -hp and R &B." Even tp -priced cmics are cnsidered a safer ecnmic play. The 7,000 -seat Frank Erwin Center at the University f Texas in Austin saw recent success with such tp -name cmedians as Rbin Williams, Gerge Lpez and Jeff Dunham. "Thse majr cmics seem t play pretty well in this envirnment," says center directr Jhn Graham, wh als cites upcming shws by Dane Ck and Larry the Cable Guy. Even in a tugh ecnmy, campuses are an attractive target fr tp music acts, such as Jay -Z, whse 0- plus -date fall tur will primarily play cllege arenas. Frank Russ, senir VP f business develpment and client services at the facility management firm Glbal Spectrum, says business is grwing at the 0 university venues the cmpany manages. But digital marketing is key, "as ppsed t radi, TV and newspapers," he says. E -mail blasts fr events are effective, he adds, nting that students "live in their wn wrld" and are difficult t reach thrugh traditinal frms f advertising. S Glbal Spectrum ften wrks with student entertainment cmmittees t find alternative methds f spreading the wrd. "Yu have t resrt t different ways t get them aware f shws, which might even be putting chalk n the sidewalk n the paths frm drms t classrms," Russ says. Other clleges are taking a similar grass -rts apprach t reaching students n campus. At Clemsn University in Suth Carlina, cncert rganizers have mved the bx ffice fr the 0,000 -seat Littlejhn Cliseum t varius hubs n the schl's campus. "They dn't even have t get in the car - we're where they want t be," cliseum GM /directr f majr events Marty Kern says. T help sell tickets t shws, Kern advises her students t "get in frnt f the library late at night where we knw the students are," she says. "t's in- yur -face, ld- schl marketing." OCTOBER 7, 009

EXPERENCE THE BUZZ BOO B The bking agent's jb has always been cmplex. Efficiently ruting turs; chsing the crrect time, prmter, venue, capacity and market; and cutting intricate deals with talent buyers, buildings and prducers are painstaking tasks in the simplest f times. f Despite the ld jke abut agents, this has never been abut thrwing darts at a map. But in tday's cncert industry, when ne asks agents what the mst pressing issues are that they face, the answer is mre likely t be abut mergers, 0 deals, new mdels, dynamic pricing and secndary - market ticketing than mving the act frm pint A t pint B. Like prmters and management cmpanies, agencies have evlved int multilevel entertainment cmpanies. The majr agencies are making mves int the label business and ther areas f the cntent wrld beynd live perfrmance. Many agencies are mre invlved in marketing than ever. Ultimately the agents' biggest cncern remains building headliners and "selling tickets," accrding t Marsha Vlasic, senir VP at nternatinal Creative Management and head f CM's cntemprary rck department. "Selling tickets," she repeats. "Develping new artists. Creative marketing. Thse are my issues." Marc Geiger, cntemprary music head at William Mrris Endeavr, says that ticket pricing, the "altering f the secndary market" and the prpsed merger f industry giants Live Natin and Ticketmaster Entertainment all lm large as imprtant issues tday. The Agency Grup agent Ken Fermaglich cites the ecnmy and 0 deals as cncerns, particularly as the latter relates t labels entering the cncert business. "As labels sign mre bands t 0 deals, and therefre have a small piece f the turing, the label being the prmter, t, culd be an issue," he says. Other agents ech that sentiment. "'m really 4 BLLBOARD OCTOBER 7, 009 Agencies Address Tp Challenges n Tday's Market BY RAY WADDELL Tp f the bill: TAYLOR SWFT is ne f the rare new artists t quickly rise t headliner status. cncerned hw labels are invlving themselves in turing," CM agent Dennis Ashley says. "'m nt sure that this wuld always be in the best interests f the artist." Vlasic thinks the trend tward multirights deals will "filter ut," but she's nt as quick t dismiss the impact f a Ticketmaster /Live Natin merger. "t's smething we really need t be cncerned abut," she says. Rb Beckham, Nashville -based agent fr William Mrris, agrees that artist develpment is a cncern. "The biggest prblem see in the cuntry business is the lack f develping headliners," he says. "We had Taylr Swift rcl N G C E S blw up and take the wrld by strm. She is an amazing star and has wrked very hard t becme the headliner she is." But Swift is the exceptin rather than the nrm. "Because album sales have cme dwn s far, and singles take much lnger t be hits, we just have a very difficult rad ahead in develping thse arena - type headliners," Beckham says. "There will be thers that emerge, but nthing like we have seen in the past 0 - years." Like ther agents, Bruce Hughtn, president f the Skyline Agency, sees ticketing as a thrny issue.

26 frm»p4 up prices are frustrating cnsumers and destrying effrts by artists, managers and agents t create value fr the fans," Hughtn says. Jey Lee, president f the 0 Artist Agency, says fees are particularly an issue with "bubbling headliners" -acts mving up t larger venues that dn't yet have the clut t negtiate a break with ticketing cmpanies, venues and advertisers. Paradigm agent Aarn Pinkus says the live business verall hasn't dne a gd jb in develping new acts t back up the heritage artists that have been the cre f the turing industry fr years. "S the nus n the agency side is t develp new talent at an affrdable cst that will get butts transferred frm cuches int stadium seating," he says. "T that end, we are getting killed by ticketing service charges." While he understands the csts f rlling ut a new ticketing system r perating an existing ne, " still can't understand hw it csts $8. t prcess what was riginally a $0 general admissin ticket fr a 00 -capacity club shw," Pinkus says. "And as the venue sizes increase, s des the ticket price, and cnsequently the service charge." When it cmes t high ticket prices in general, "as agents, we have had a large hand in creating this prblem," Pinkus says. "We have driven guarantees t the pint where prmters culd nt break even n a shw slely based n ticket sales. Prmters were frced 'undergrund' int making their mney thrugh ancillary means; ht dgs, beer and ticketing service charge rebates. S we dn't back dwn frm guarantees, and prmters dn't back dwn frm ticketing fees, because everyne needs their mney, and we're effectively in a stalemate." That status qu has t change, especially at the develpmental level, Pinkus asserts. "Maybe that means we dn't push fr the same guarantee in exchange fr lwer ticketing charges, but can tell yu smething has t be dne t prevent the first cncert by any new band in any given market t have mre than 0% f their ticket price ging twards service fees," he says. "t's killing the gse befre it's ut f the egg, and there are a tn f talented bands that will nt get the chance t turn int the prverbial glden gse if we ut -price them in the market as they try t plant their flag in yur twn and in yur mind. ndustry cuts have led t less effective prmtin f artists, Hughtn believes. "Wh is left t market the shws in mre than a ckie - cutter fashin?" he asks befre answering his wn questin. "N ne- prmters, managers r agents -has been willing t fill that vid." Thugh attendance largely held its wn, the summer f 009 did see an industry-wide trend f cnsumers waiting lnger t buy tickets. William Mrris agent Kirk Smmer wuld like t see advance sales stimulated thrugh premium inventry incentives with presales and such ld- schl (but effective) messaging t the public as nly area perfrmance" r "last area perfrmance" if these statements are in fact true. Smmer says increasing demand by being mre cnservative in chsing venue capacity, earlier n -sales and keeping ticketing prgrams t a minimum culd als help advance sales. One f the mst pressing issues fr 00 will cntinue t be ticket scaling fr new and established turing artists, accrding t agent David Zedeck f Creative Artists Agency. "t is imprtant that we take the lessns learned frm this past year, which was arguably the tughest ecnmy in 0 years, and understand what wrked and what didn't -fr the artists, Tp rw (frm left): ROB BECKHAM, William Mrris Endeavr; BRAN JONES, Bbby Rberts C.; JOEY LEE, 0 Artist Agency; bttm: AARON PNKUS, Paradigm; MARC GEGER, William Mrris Endeavr the prmters and fans," Zedeck says. "We need t cntinually wrk t market and sell tickets t the fervent fan, as well as the casual fan." Brian Jnes, VP at the Bbby Rberts C., sees tday's market as "t many artists lking fr wrk and nt enugh ticket buyers wh will pay the amunt fr a ticket it takes t cver prmting the shw," he says. "Like many prducts in tday's ecnmy, it's a buyer's market. The fans are in cntrl." Still, Jnes says he's nt verly cncerned abut the lng -term viability f live entertainment. "Peple will always g t live shws; it's just finding the right frmula t make it affrdable fr the prmter, artist and the ticket buyer," he says.

TAKNG T TO THE CLUBS Live Natin Debuts Strategies Fr Smaller Venues Clubs and small venues are the lifebld f the cncert business. t's where acts create buzz, hne their chps and build the fundatin f a turing career. Histrically, prmters were willing t make less r even lse mney n an act at the club level with hpes that the artist will stay lyal as it climbed the ladder int larger venues, reaping mre prfits in the prcess. Live Natin is nw fllwing its summer prmtinal schedule fr its amphitheaters with tw new club -level prmtins. The first, which the cmpany describes as mre f a new "prduct" than a prmtin, is the Club Passprt. Fr $49.99, including fees, music fans wh purchase a passprt can see every shw at Live Natin clubs in their city fr the rest f the year, subject t availability. A surce at Live Natin says sales f the Club Passprt are "slid." On Oct., Live Natin annunced a secnd club -level price prmtin, a "tw- fr -ne" deal that will encmpass 00,000 tickets t 0 cncerts in 9 U.S. Live Natin venues. The cmpany says its N Service Fee prmtins at amphitheaters saved fans abut $4 millin n nearly 800,000 tickets during the summer. The Live Natin surce says the club prgrams are a respnse t requests frm agents and managers fr the prmter t ffer similar inducements fr small venue turs. Bth prgrams are available at Live Natin's Huse f Blues and Fillmre clubs acrss the cuntry, as well as Live Natin clubs like Bgart's in Cincinnati, the Tabernacle in Atlanta, the Gramercy in New Yrk and the Hllywd (Calif.) Palladium. Amng the acts playing venues cvered by the Passprt, accrding t LiveNatin.cm, are the Black Crwes, the B -s, Tesla, Gv't Mule, Hansn, Andrew Bird and thers. Meanwhile, the club sectr seems pretty healthy, even in tugh ecnmic times. Seth Hurwitz, president f independent prmter.m.p., which wns and bks the 9:0 Club in Washingtn, D.C., says he hasn't seen a dwnturn. "The shws that peple want t see d well and the nes that dn't, dn't," he says. "Bands run their cycles f ppularity, and when that is dwn, bands and their representatives like t blame the ecnmy. Srry, that ain't it." Hurwitz says he desn't spend much time develping price prmtins. "Fact is, 've never seen [price prmtins] turn a dg shw arund. They are usually dne t placate smene wh refuses t believe that their act isn't selling tickets r t create cash flw fr reasns ther than net business." t's mre abut "prmtin" in the true sense f the wrd, accrding t Hurwitz. "Our respnsibility as a prmter is t get the band's image and music represented as they intend and t make sure everyne is aware and reminded abut the shw," he says. "After that, the campaign has been run and the vtes cme in." There are plenty f acts t "vte" fr, certainly. Kirk Smmer, the William Mrris Endeavr agent fr acts like the Killers and Pal Nutini, says the clubs are "cmpletely versaturated at the mment." The current ecnmy means peple have less discretinary incme and mre entertainment ptins, Smmer says. And he bserves that there isn't any sign f less traffic in the future. "Peple need t pay particular attentin t packaging, timing, size and ticket pricing," Smmer adds. "There must be value." Red Ryder Entertainment agent Erik Selz (Andrew Bird) says he isn't seeing the artist develpment at the club level he nce did, r even cnsistency. "A few years back, ne culd rely n a sld -ut shw in March, n the heels f a new release, translating int a sld -ut shw at a larger venue in September," he says. " 'Here tday, gne tmrrw' has never been mre true, and 'm seeing thse September shws, n the secnd lap thrugh a market, suffer badly. The saturatin desn't help, and it's nly getting wrse.". 8 BLLBOARD OCTOBER 7, 009

After a spate f tragedies and illnesses, the band's mindfulness f death is a cnstant theme n the album, which will be released Oct. 0 n Octne /A &M. " `Mement Mri' was very fitting, given everything we've been thrugh ver the past seven years," singer Lacey Msley says. "We've seen a lt f everything." Certainly, the band has seen plenty f success. ts self -titled debut was released in 00, spawning the hit singles "'m S Sick," "Fully Alive" and "All Arund Me." The album stayed n the Billbard 00 fr weeks and sld. millin cpies, accrding t Nielsen SundScan. n 00, the Texas band released the fur -sng EP "Music As a Weapn," and the fllwing year it issued a limited -editin tw -disc versin f "Flyleaf." Rather than rush t release new music, the band (Msley, guitarists Sameer Bhattacharya and Jared Hartman, drummer James Culpepper and bassist Pat Seals) fcused n turing. Msley says the primary reasn the band tk s lng between albums was that the grup wanted t tur heavily and get t knw its fans. The delay was als exacerbated by members cping with persnal tragedies: Bhattacharya's - year -ld cusin battled cancer, Culpepper lst his mther and his aunt, and Msley had a health scare. "There was a pssibility that might have an illness, but it ended up that came ut fine," she says. "t was a pssibility that -,d BY DEBORAH EVANS PRCE LFE AFTER DEATH Flyleaf Cnfrnts Mrtality On ts Secnd Album might have cancer. dn't want it t be a big deal." But in the next breath, Msley reveals that the scare affected her lyrics. "t was just a situatin that shk me and made me think, 's this what want t live my life fr?' " she says. "Am living my life fr the right thing? f died tmrrw, wuld be satisfied r wuld Gd be satisfied if met him tmrrw? That's the whle pint behind 'Mement Mri.' hpe it's nt t depressing. "The thing that is s phenmenal abut getting t recrd music r write a stry r take phtgraphs r whatever is that yu can lk back and remember that time and be filled with that purpse again," she adds. "'m s glad we gt t d that." When the band decided t head back t the studi, it again turned t prducer Hward Bensn. "He's always lking fr ways t make a sng a pp sng," Msley says, "and we're always lking fr a way t push that bundary s that it makes him happy but it als makes us happy creatively as artists and rck lvers. think yu culd hear bth f that." T prmte the new album, Flyleaf tk its usual "fans first" stance and let them decide the cities where the band wuld perfrm befre the release. "There's s much mre t these shws than just the band playing an acustic set," Octne /A &M marketing directr Val Pensa says. "Fans will get t see the vide premieres f the tw vides [ fr the first single, "Again," and a track called "Beautiful Bride "] befre anyne will ever be able t see them nline r n TV, they'll be able t listen t six r seven sngs frm the new recrd, and they'll have a chance t prerder the album." Pensa says there will be a deluxe editin available, with fur additinal tracks, and an itunes special release. "Fans wh pre - rder will get an instant free track, 'Beautiful Bride,' " Pensa says, "and they'll als have the pprtunity t get a digital bklet, the vide and a cver f `Stay' by U." "Again" is being prmted t active rck and alternative radi and is N. 8 n Billbard's Alternative chart and N. at Active Rck. Thugh nt generally categrized as a Christian band, the members are Christian and have attracted a Christian fan base. Therefre, Octne has enlisted EM Christian Music Grup t market and distribute the album t the faith -based market. Msley is cnfident that bth believers and nnbelievers will be able t relate t the message f "Mement Mri." "The album is abut recgnizing that ur life is shrt and precius and the peple's lives arund yu are shrt and precius as well," she says. "t might be yur last pprtunity t talk t them and it might make yu chse yur wrds mre carefully.". OCTOBER 7, 009

ROCK BY EVE NAGY Trading Up Devendra Banhart And Warner Take Freak Flk T The FM Masses " can see my sngs in a mvie," Devendra Ban - hart says, "as lng as it's a mvie n ne will watch." The singer /sngwriter, wh says his eclectic, wrld- influenced flk rck is usually cnsidered mre "extic, esteric r idisyncratic" than cmmercially fcused, will release his majr -label debut, "What Will We Be," Oct. 7 n Warner Brs. Recrds. After releasing five studi albums and several EPs n independent labels, Banhart says the transitin t a majr ccurred fr almst cunterintuitive reasns. "They were the nly nes wh ffered t let me d what want," he says, adding that "What Will We Be" was nearly cmpleted befre it was shpped, and it was imprtant t sign with a label that wuldn't make changes t the music. "Yu think an indie, yeah, they just let yu d anything and yu're in cntrl, that's the heart f it, that's the pint," says Banhart, wh released previus albums n Yung Gds and XL Recrdings. "But think with the birth f a new business mdel in the music industry, it's led the majrs t actually be kind f humbled, s was shcked they were treating me like the indies when was meeting with them and the indies were talking t me like a majr." Warner Brs. executive VP f marketing Diarmuid Quinn says that signing Banhart was as much abut "having him in the family because f his sensibilities" as the specific material he brught t the table. "There are sme artists wh are mre cmmerce -driven than thers, wh have mre mainstream success, and then there are sme artists wh are just brilliant wh we need t have here t keep a certain artistic sentiment thriving, and Devendra fits that perfectly," Quinn says. "He's a true artist, his music is genius, his visual Bringing beards t the masses: DEVENDRA BANNART art is incredible." Visuals were a key issue fr Banhart in his deal with Warner. A visual artist as well as a musician, he designs all f his wn album artwrk and insisted n the right t apprve all images assciated with the release. "t's funny, because n the smaller labels, s much media wuld leak ut that had n cntrl f and didn't apprve," he says. Banhart's manager Ellitt Rberts was instrumental in the pairing, as he als manages Neil Yung, a lngtime Warner artist. "He's like an interpreter wh speaks the label's language very well, and that's a helpful thing because it's a language just dn't understand," Banhart says. While the marketing plan will fcus n the album as a whle, the radi campaign will fcus n the lead track, "Baby," a breezy lve sng that, accrding t Quinn, "everybdy felt was a pretty accessible step fr him, while maintaining what he des s well and his identity." The sng will g t triple A, nncmmercial and cllege radi statins Oct. ; a vide fr it will fllw the album release. Turing plans include majr- market dates in Nvember, as well as a Eurpean press tur in December, due t "fantastic internatinal feedback t the music," Quinn says. As fr Banhart, it's clear that marketing isn't his primary cncern. "Whether 'm n a majr r an indie, dn't think this is imprtant, but at the same time d," he says. " thught that the minute was n a majr's rster, gt a key t everyne's huse and we all had dinner nce a week... it kind f wasn't s true and it was disappinting, but still believe there's a cnnectin t thse peple and yu feel like a part f smething.".- BY RCHARD SMRKE FLO RDER Flrence & The Machine Surf U.K. Success Nt many artists get t win awards befre they've even recrded an album, let alne released ne.

Helping the singer pleasingly bridge her cntemprary and classic sul influences is R &B veteran Len Sylvers. Whether discursing n pursuing yur dreams ("Nbdy Jnes "), reaffirming the bnds f lve ( "What t Takes ") r sarcastically bemaning the inability t sever a bad relatinship ( "Can't Hardly Wait "), N'- Dambi prves that she's every bit the real deal -ne f the talented few wh can truly make the listener feel a sng. -GM POP LGHTS The Listening Prducers: varius Warner Brs. Recrds Release Date: Oct. Canadian singer Valerie Px - leitner lks like a pp star and writes sngs like a pp star, but her name didn't make her sund like much f a pp star. A quick change t the snappier mniker Lights, thugh, and she's ready t actually be a pp star, at least as evidenced by her majr -label debut, "The Listening." Building n a well- received EP and sme lw- budget, space -age vides, the new album cmes n like a mre accessible versin f the current buzz -wrthy wave f U.K. electrnic artists including Little Bts and La Rux. Exuberant vcder vcals pepper the album, mst ntably n the current single "Savir," which is reminiscent f the U.K. act Saint Etienne. Mst tracks n the set are irresistibly catchy, frm the " tried t d yu right" refrain f "ce" t the danced -up beats f "Lins!" The singer's early Canadian radi hits- TM McGRAW Suthern Vice Prducers: Byrn Gallimre, Tim McGraw, Darran Smith Curb Recrds Release Date: Oct. 0 Tim McGraw is ne intrspective SOB, r s it seems n his latest album, "Suthern Vice." He desn't reveal any new sides t his persnality n the mstly dwn -temp set, but he des prve that when it rains, it purs. On the sng "f Died Tday," the singer wnders wh wuld r wuldn't miss him after death, while " Didn't Knw t at the Time" pnders the knwledge that life brings. "Yu Had t Be There" is a reflectin f living withut a father and "Lve Yu Gdbye" is mre f the same. Standut tracks include "Ghst Twn Train," which eches the wrk f Glen Campbell, and "Gd Girls," a dark tale f cheating with an unexpected twist. On "'m Only Jesus," McGraw ffers an interesting take n persnal respnsibility while singing frm the perspective f Jesus Christ. "Suthern Vices" is dne well verall, but listeners may want t keep clse a cpy f McGraw's upbeat hit " Like t, Lve t" t lighten the md. -KT "Drive My Sul" and "February Air" -als appear n the album, alng with the grgeus ballad "Pretend," which is presented in bth frsty electrnic and warm pian versins. -MS BRAND CARLLE Give Up the Ghst Prducer: Jasn Lader Clumbia Recrds Release Date: Oct. Brandi Carlile knws hw t wring every last emtin frm a lyric. On her third studi album, "Give Up the Ghst," the singer /sngwriter channels heartache, fear, nstalgia and jy in nearly the same breath, creating a vivid pastiche f alt - flk pp. The best evidence f this is fund n the sng "Befre t Breaks," a haunting pst- breakup ballad full f Rbert Frst -like imagery, where she srrwfully sings, "Will the cllar n my cat, Lrd help me, kill ff the cld /Will the rain drps sting my eyes r keep them clsed?" By cntrast, the uptemp track "Carline" sars merrily, with a welcme came n vcals and pian by Eltn Jhn. Meanwhile, the cut "Tuching the Grund" is mre subtle but n less arresting as Carlile sings ver simple guitar strums, "Why d my trubles turn true /Whenever rest my eyes n yu?" "Give Up the Ghst" is anther rich ffering frm this distinctive female talent. -MH LUKE BRYAN Din' My Thing Prducer: Jeff Stevens Capitl Nashville Release Date: Oct. Luke Bryan's recent single "D " (which first appeared n his latest EP and is nw n his secnd album, "Din' My Thing ") is a bna fide three - hanky lst -lve ballad. But the listener wn't be sniffling thrugh the spirited -sng "Din' My Thing," which begins with the winking witticisms f the Brad Paisley -like sng "Rain s a Gd Thing," fllwed by the buyant pp f the title track. "Welcme t the Farm" is kind f a cntemprary take n "Green Acres" that blends Bryan's cuntry and rck sides, and the cver f OneRepublic's "Aplgize" allws the singer t explre mre sulful territry. Meanwhile, "Drinkin' Beer and Wastin' Bullets" is a hard -driving Suthern rcker abut deer hunting, while "Every Time See Yu" and JOSS STONE Clur Me Free Prducers: varius Virgin Recrds Release Date: Oct. 0 On "Free Me," the Jead single frm Jss Stne's furth studi album, "Clur Me Free," the U.K. singer indirectly addresses critics wh've suggested that her sund isn't whlly riginal. "There's nthing that yu can't d /'Cause it's all abut yur attitude /Dn't let them get t yu," she grwls assertively n the track. The ntin that swagger trumps all seems t have guided Stne thrughut her career -and it's n different n "Clur Me Free." She cntinues t hit each nte with the precise amunt f retr pmp that ne wuld expect, and there are again mments when the '70s sul lve affair gets a little carried away. The arrangement f the sng "Parallel Lines" is every bit like Stevie Wnder's "Higher Grund," and the prtest "Gvern - mentalist" (featuring rapper Nas) may as well be abut Vietnam. Elsewhere, the sublime track "Big Ole Game" (featuring fellw sul revivalist Raphael Saadiq) almst sunds like an ld Al Green recrding. But what's the harm in that? -Ml- "Chuggin' Alng" shuld keep Bryan's cuntry credentials in gd standing. -GG JOE PERRY Have Guitar, Will Travel Prducer: Je Perry Rman Recrds Release Date: Oct.

Recrds Release Date: Oct. There's a questin that lingers when listening t the debut album frm Dead by Sunrise, the new prject frm Linkin Park's Chester Benningtn: What can he d musically in this setting that he can't in his day jb? The answer, apparently, is quite a bit. Benningtn's emtive vcals and a similar quiet -tlud dynamic identify Dead by Sunrise with Linkin Park, but "Out f Ashes" is grittier and mre punk - driven. This is best displayed n the punchy grve f "Crawl Back n," the blistering cadence driving "nside f Me," the three -chrd attack f "My Suffering" and the butt -kicking rck f "End f the Wrld." Benningtn and his Dead by Sunrise band - mates (wh hail frm the electrnic rck band Julien -K) als display a deft tuch with atmspherics and textures n tracks like "T Late," "Give Me Yur Name" and the gth- tinged "Let Dwn," amng thers.

Perry gets strng backing frm a cast that includes German singer Hagen (a YuTube find), peridic Aersmith fill - in bassist David Hull and drummer Ben Tilestn. Perry tsses ut a few lyrical messages in tracks like "Freedm," the hymn -like "Oh Lrd ( Grams)" and the epic "Heaven and Hell," but the star here is the titular guitar, which is as enjyably unleashed as it's ever been n any Perry prject. -GG BULT TO SPLL There s N Enemy Prducer: Dave Trumfi Warner Brs.

34 _HALL PEN V Cá NOW ROCK BY JASON LPSHUTZ Brain Pwer Breaking Benjamin's `Dear Agny' Debuts At N. 4 "Dear Agny," the furth full -length album frm the Pennsylvania pst -grunge band Breaking Benjamin, enters the Billbard 00 at N. 4 with 4,000 cpies sld, accrding t Nielsen Sund - Scan. While the act's last tw Hllywd Recrds albums have gne platinum, this is the grup's best sales week -the result f savvy marketing and a cmmitment t change that starts with lead singer Benjamin Burnley. Since frming in 998, Breaking Benjamin's pummeling alt -rck has earned heavy airplay n mdern rck radi. The singles "S Cld" and "Sner r Later," frm the 004 set We Are Nt Alne," each peaked in the tp 0 f Billbard's Alternative chart. Meanwhile, the 00 disc "Phbia" debuted at N. and led t a successful jint tur with Three Days Grace in the fall f 007. While the band -whse lineup includes guitarist Aarn Fink, bassist Mark Klepaski and drummer Chad Szeliga -was gaining a sizable fllwing and sales mmentum, Burnley was living as a "functinal alchlic" and had develped neurlgical prblems. "'ve suffered permanent brain damage thrugh alchlism," says Burnley, wh has been sber fr mre than tw years. " dn't want t say that 'm prud t have stpped, but 'm glad realized that wanted t stick arund fr a while." After he quit drinking and started writing material fr "Dear Agny," Burnley decided t use his struggles with alchl and subsequent recvery as recurring themes. The first album Burnley recrded sber with the band is als his mst persnally revealing and features a scan f the singer's brain n the album cver. "All the tests and hspital visits stick with yu, s thught the scan was an effective image t use," he says. "t was a dangerus situatin t be in... thankfully, was able t reflect what was ging n in my life within the music." Prduced by David Bendeth, "Agny" draws n Burnley's emtinal experience t create an -sng set f anthems with blistering lyrics. The lead single, " Will Nt Bw," is N. 40 n the Billbard Ht 00 and features stirring lines like "Take the path that leads t nwhere /All is lst again, but 'm nt giving in" ver chugging guitars and cymbal crashes. Aside frm its affecting cntent, the new album's success can als be chalked up t Breaking Benjamin's unique marketing strategy. " Will Nt Bw" has received expsure frm its placement in the Tuchstne release "Surrgates," while three tracks frm "Agny" have been made available as dwnladable sngs fr "Rck Band." A deluxe editin f the album is available exclusively at Best Buy. t cmes packaged with a bnus DVD that in- Nt giving in: BREAKNG BENJAMN dudes all f the grup's music vides. "We've tried t find a balance between traditinal marketing tls and new media," says Hllywd directr f marketing Linc Wheeler. "The industry might lk at a fllw -up recrd and see a fallff, but the band has been eager t embrace new ways f getting clser t fans, especially thrugh new technlgy." n September, the grup released "Altered Benjamin," an nline flash videgame that was designed and submitted by a fan. The pardy f the arcade game "Altered Beast" features Burnley as a character and the ther band members as bsses. The game, alng with the band's fan -run Web site, demnstrates the act's nline interactin with its fllwers that Burnley believes helps keep the act grunded. "Musically, we're a serius band," he says. "S it's cl fr stuff like the game t shw that we have a sense f humr and are pen t fan cntributins." Starting Nv. 9 in San Antni, Breaking Benjamin will hit the rad n a bill that includes Sick Puppies and Rev Thery. While Burnley says that pressure used t hamper him nstage, nw he fcuses nly n having fun. "Nwadays, bands are a dime a dzen," he says. "At this pint, 'm just very thankful we've lasted this lng and can cntinue t perfrm."

"We find all srts f subjects t sing abut." A case in pint is "Mi Últim Día." A bright, catchy midtemp sng with saring strings, guitar and pian, the track was inspired by the birth f the cuple's daughter earlier this year.

Sciubba, a German natinal living in France, had prblems btaining her visa t return t the United States, and the band was frced t cancel tw shws, including an Oct. appearance n Gvernr's sland, just ff the tip f Manhattan. Frtunately, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D -N.Y., helped by expediting the visa prcess. "Musicians frm verseas wh perfrm in New Yrk add tremendus value t the city's vibrant cultural and turist ecnmy," Gillibrand says.
