4 Gary - C ) ' lin C N EDTORALS COMMENTARY LETTERS The Creative Cnstant A Changing ndustry Must Nt Lse Sight Of What Creative Peple Need T Thrive BY PAUL WLLAMS 've been writing sngs fr mst f my life, s knw firsthand the challenging steps it takes fr a sng t reach a wide audience. n the early years f my 0 -plus years f writing benefitted frm the care and expertise f a wrld - class publisher, a recrd cmpany that fstered the dreams and creative chices f their artists and a publicity /prmtin machine that made the cnsumers aware f what had t ffer. Fr many talented yung writers beginning their careers tday, the landscape has changed dramatically. Almst everything in the prcess is different. The recrding f music, its delivery and prmtin, and the multitude f ways it can be enjyed n a variety f wnderful devices make music available t a larger, mre fractinalized audience. Business mdels cntinue t change as the wrld is able t access, discver and experience music like never befre. The nternet is the brave new wrld, and at every click f the muse music scres the jurney. As a result, billins f dllars change hands as cmpanies and their executives attract investrs, buyers and advertisers. New devices and distributin mdels are intrduced with increasing frequency while issues critical t the music industry are t ften cuched in ===)A(',( A GOOD MAN, NDEED We lst an utrageus, funny, hardwrking and lyal member f the music prmtin family when Hwie Gdman passed away frm cancer Aug. (Billbard, Sept. ). With a heart f gld bigger than all the gld recrds he earned fr prmtin cmbined, Gdman made an impressin n everyne he met. And fr the recrd, Gdman's cmpany was named GdChice Prductins, and the crrect name f his daughter's trust is the Hward Gdman Trust fr the Benefit f Mrgan Gdman. Teresa Rand Executr /trustee f the Hward Gdman Trust fr the Benefit f Mrgan Gdman BLLBOARD SEPTEMBER, 009 ppsitinal terms, r t ften versimplified r discussed withut regard t the artistic cmmunity. t's imprtant t remember that at the head waters f this grand revenue stream is the writer, perhaps wrking with headphnes because there's a baby sleeping in the next rm r a partner that has t get up fr wrk in the mrning. Let's cntinue t hnr his r her gift by prtecting the right f music creatrs t make a viable living with their music. What remains cnstant in this whirlwind f change is the art and craft f the creative prcess. Cmpsers and sngwriters have a unique gift -the ability t cmbine sparks f inspiratin, imaginatin and life experience with talent, hard wrk -and ften a little bit f magic - t create music that tuches ther peple's lives. The music creatrs' gift is the engine that drives ur industry. ts value shuld never be underestimated. am cncerned that if music is nt fairly valued r cmpensated, then a successful career in music will be increasingly ut f reach. The viability f ur industry, and in turn ur greater ecnmy, depends upn making sure that yung creatrs have the pprtunity t pursue music as a prfessin, nt just as a hbby. Tday, new creatrs are expected t master much mre than musical r lyrical skill t build a career. t is fast becming a mandate that they learn hw t use a hst f technical tls nt nly t recrd their music, but t distribute and prmte it as well. f yu are a perfrmer and a cmpser r sngwriter, yu can als thrw publicist, prmter, merchandiser, webmaster, scial netwrking expert and bking agent int the mix. Tday, like yesterday and 00 years befre that, music creatrs need the space and supprt t free their imaginatin, t be pen and available t that flash f inspiratin when it cmes ut f the blue, t have stretches f time t push thrugh the frustratin when inspiratin is elusive, t walk away frm smething and then return again with a fresh set f ears. But they als must knw that their creative wrk has great wrth. Nt just t themselves as artists, r t the peple whse lives their music will enrich, but t the netwrk f businesses whse bttm lines thrive n their creativity. Given my vcatin, it's nt surprising that ften think in terms f themes and refrains. And ne recurring refrain revlves arund the letter "C." "C" stands fr many f the things that have made a difference in my life and career. (This is where my wrk writing fr the Muppets cmes in handy.) "C" stands fr cllabratin, fr cmmunity, fr cnnectin, fr cmmitment and yes, fr cpyright t -an essential prtectin that helps turn a passin int a viable living. t was imprtant enugh fr Alexander Hamiltn t include it in ur Cnstitutin. Let's give it the attentin it deserves tday. We must all wrk tgether t nurture and supprt a new generatin f sngwriters and cmpsers and give them a realistic incentive t pursue a career. This starts with everyne in the distributin chain recgnizing that the value f music shuld be measured at its surce -in the act f its creatin -when a spark can change the wrld. Paul Williams is an Academy -, Grammy- and Glden Glbe Award - winning Hall f Fame sngwriter. He was elected chairman /president f the bard f ASCAP in April. WRTE US.

Nw) New Yrk placed yaz's "Replay" int medium rtatin, after the track generated a fld f text messages when Sean Kingstn played the catchy, Caribbean - flavred tune during a live interview with Nw afternn jck TicTak. Six weeks later, "Replay," which has yet t chart n Billbard's Mainstream Tp 0 list, is the fledgling statin's th- mst -played track with spins, accrding t Nielsen BDS. While WXRK is the nly New Yrk statin playing it, "Replay" has racked up 9,000 digital dwnlads in the New Yrk market in the first three weeks fllwing its release, accrding t Nielsen SundScan. lyaz's experience is the latest sign f the surprising heft wielded by the new tp 0 statins that CBS launched earlier this year in the natin's tw largest radi markets. Nw and its West Cast bkend, KAMP (Amp 97.) Ls Angeles, are helping expse numerus artists, quickening the pace that sngs crss ver frm urban and rhythmic utlets and helping spur sales, label prmtin executives say. Thugh neither has the reach f New Yrk's WHTZ (Z00) and L.A.'s KS -FM, Clear Channel's icnic tp 0s that have dminated their markets fr decades, the newcmers are making an impact. Bright lights, big city: KM SOZZ (left) and YAZ have benefited frm airplay n new tp 0 statin WXRK (9. Nw) New Yrk. "Nw is shwing itself t be a statin that can break recrds in the market," says Phil Nieves, senir directr f prmtin at Ultra Recrds, whse frmer N. Ht Dance Airplay track "Feel Yur Lve" by Kim Szzi has received 8 plays n the statin as f Aug. 0. There's mre at stake than tw markets: f Amp and Nw succeed ver the lng term, CBS and ther bradcasters culd flip statins in ther markets t tp 0, a frmat that perfrms exceptinally well when measured by Arbitrn's Prtable Peple Meter ratings service but has largely been limited t ne per market fr decades. "n mst majr markets, there's rm fr tw tp 0s: ne guitar -leaning and ne rhythmic," says WXRK PD and CBS Radi VP f CHR prgramming Dm Thedre. Labels are prceeding with cautin t prtect lngstand- ing relatinships with pwer players Z00 and KS. "There will be plitical prblems dwn the rad," says the VP f pp prmtin at a majr label. "A lt f labels are gun - shy abut pissing ff Z00." Anther executive says "it culd get messy" when the new statins cmpete with Z00 and KS fr acts t play their statin shws. Z00's spring Ztpia and winter Jingle Ball cncerts are tw f New Yrk's httest tickets, as is KS' Wang Tang in L.A. Neither new statin has annunced cncert plans, althugh Thedre says the statin will stage a shw befre year's end. "t's a minefield ut there," says Frank Murray, VP f prmtin at Rbbins Entertainment. "t can be yur wrst nightmare when yu have tw tp 0s in ne market." Nw has nearly dubled its ttal weekly listeners age and lder t.8 millin since flip- ping frm the alternative K- Rck frmat March, accrding t Arbitrn. ts largest grwth has been amng listeners -, where it skyrcketed frm a.8 % audience share in February t.0 % in July fr a furth -place tie. Z00 tumbled frm a.8% audience share t 8.% in the same perid but remains N.. n L.A., Amp's rise has been swifter. The statin, which bwed Feb. 0 ut f the ashes f talk KLSX, ranked secnd in July amng female listeners aged 8 - with an 8.% audience share, less than ne percentage pint behind K S- FM's 9. %. But Clear Channel spkeswman Michele Clarke said CBS' recent frmat flips haven't hurt the cmpany's verall cmpetitive psitin in L.A. While the startups shaved shares frm Clear Channel's tp 0 titans, they're als grwing the ratings pie in bth markets fr tp 0, a red -ht frmat riding a large swell f strng releases frm a balanced menu f genres. n New Yrk, the frmat had a cmbined.% share in July, up frm Z00's.% in February befre Nw's launch. n L.A., tp 0 had an 8.7% share in July, up frm KS -FM's % in January befre Amp's launch. S far, bth new statins are lean music machines with minimal talk and prmtinal clutter. Each launched with cmmercial -free, 0,000 -sng music marathns and remain cmmercial -free n Mndays. And bth have an intentinal rhythmic bend. n New Yrk, Nw was the first tp 0 t give significant airplay t crssver hits like "Knck Yu Dwn" by Keri Hilsn featuring Kanye West and Ne -Y, "Dwn" by Jay Sean featuring Lil Wayne and Pitbull's "Htel Rm Service" and " Knw Yu Want Me (Calle Och)." Edgier and mre rhythmic t reflect L.A.'s Latin- and hip - hp- leaning musical tastes, KAMP put tracks by Pitbull, L.A. electr -rap du LMFAO and Brklyn -based rapper Kid Cudi int heavy rtatin when it launched. Mre recently, rapper Ya By's independently released "We Run L.A." received 8 spins fr the week ending Aug. n Amp-it and K S are the nly tp 0 statins in the cuntry t play the artist. While bth new statins are psitined as their city's "new hit music channel," abut half the titles n Billbard's Mainstream Tp 0 airplay chart are nwhere t be fund n their playlists, including hits frm rckers Daughtry, Nick - elback and Thery f a Dead Man and pp acts like Bey - cntinued n page SEPTEMBER. 009

"While it's great t have multiple CH Rs t help reinfrce uptemp rhythmic recrds, 've seen a drp n straight pp recrds getting played in L.A. and a decline in pp rck in New Yrk," says an executive VP f prmtin at a majr label. "We are a mass -appeal tp 0 statin fr Ls Angeles," says KAMP PD and CBS senir VP f prgramming Kevin Weatherly. "The rck -based sunds dn't perfrm as well here as they d in ther parts f the cuntry." Label execs say the statins' rhythmic slant is helping crss ver recrds faster frm rhythmic and urban frmats. Serani's "N Games," which began airing late last year in New Yrk n Emmis rhythmic WQHT (Ht 97) and Clear Channel urban WWPR (Pwer 0). WXRK added it in the spring. Weekly track sales f "N Games" increased by % t rughly,00 the week ending May 7, the same week that Nw played it 9 times. The statin bumped it up t spins the fllwing week and sales sht up 7% t arund,00 cpies, fllwed by a % sales increase fr the week ending May. Fr a hit sng's sales t rise, airplay n multiple utlets is ften required.

But after the majr labels wn victries ver peer -t-peer users Jammie Thmas - Rasset and Jel Tenenbaum this summer, the third and mst imprtant -music cpyright trial f the year will begin Sept. 9 in a federal curtrm in Ls Angeles. That's when Universal Music Grup (UMG) is set t face ff in a cpyright suit against Veh, a ppular nline vide site that features user- generated cntent as well as prfessinally prduced cntent frm majr media cmpanies including ABC, ESPN, Warner Brs. and Viacm. The trial, believed t be the first time a jury will cnsider such issues, will present a majr test case that may prvide further clarity fr whether, and when, sites like Vehand thers like YuTube and MPTunes.cm that als hst user -upladed music -maybe held liable fr cpyright infringement cmmitted by their users. There's little dubt that a user cmmits cpyright infringement f bth a sund recrding and cmpsitin when he uplads a vide cntaining a sng t a vide -sharing site like Veh withut permissin frm the label and publisher. What's at issue in this case is whether Veh can be held respnsible fr the services it prvides, such as encuraging users t uplad their vides (which ften cntain cpyrighted cntent, including music), hsting the vides, putting them int the crrect technical frmat, rganizing them int categries s that viewers can find them and streaming them and making them available fr dwnlad t millins f users -all withut paying cpyright wners a dime. Veh's primary defense is the "safe harbr" prvisins f the 998 Digital Millennium Cpyright Act, which prvide a shelter frm infringement claims fr user -generated cntent sites that fllw certain steps, including respnding prmptly t "takedwn" n- % % WXRK (9.

Veh says it's a "mdel citizen under the DMCA" that ges abve and beynd what the law requires, having instituted Audible Magic's cntent identificatin system that filters ut cpyrighted music and signing n t the "UGC Principles," a set f best practices intended t minimize cpyright infringement while allwing user -generated cntent sites t thrive. The principles have been endrsed by majr cpyright wners including Disney, Fx and Sny Pictures, as well as big cntent -sharing sites like MySpace, DailyMtin and Crackle. UMG, hwever, cunters that Veh can't avail itself f the DMCA safe harbr because it has knwledge f vast amunts f infringement n its site and actively encurages -r "induces," in the language f the U.S. Supreme Curt's 00 Grkster decisin -users t uplad infringing cntent. "Veh eschewed available filtering slutins, adpted plicies that turned a blind eye t bvius infringement and pr- vided users with mechanisms t dwnlad cpyrighted wrks at the click f a buttn," UMG cntends in a pre -trial brief. While a jury verdict isn't itself a precedent that binds ther curts, the views f the jurrs will be clsely watched by attrneys and litigants in an even bigger cpyright battle -the ne pitting cpyright wners including Viacm and Vide drne: Veh large independent music publisher Burne against YuTube, the 800 -pund grilla f user-generated cntent sites. While three f the majrs -all except Warner Music Grup -nw have deals with YuTube that permit users t uplad their sngs (and split revenue with the cpyright wners), a ruling against YuTube n the DMCA safe harbr issue wuld significantly tip the balance f pwer in cpyright wners' directin vis à vis such sites. The Veh suit has already prduced sme imprtant precedents. Late last year, U.S. CBS OS ANGELES District Curt Judge Hward Matz rejected UMG's attempt t defeat Veh's DMCA defense shrt f trial, ruling that safe harbr prtectins cver technical functins like transcding users' vides. And in February, Matz dismissed UMG's claims against Veh's venture capital investrs whm UMG had attempted t hld liable fr infringement n Veh's site. The curt ruled that the investrs culdn't be held respnsible fr the site's actins unless they had actively participated in running the cmpany, which it said UMG's cmplaint didn't adequately allege. That ruling is nw n appeal. With clse t,000 f UMG's wrks at issue in the case, embdied in abut 7,000 vides, the ptential damages that a jury culd frce Veh t pay make the $.9 millin awarded against Thmas -Rasset and the $7,000 against Tenenbaum lk like a pittance.

8 P UP BY ANTONY BRUNO i% --w - \l'l'l' 'l'a \ /- a - - The Pick Of Destiny Fate Of Fall's New Titles Culd Pint T Music Games' Staying Pwer By shwing labels new ways t prmte and sell their music, "Rck Band" and "Guitar Her" have made a big impressin n the recrding industry. But the next fur mnths culd be crucial t determine whether the music videgame franchises remain relevant. Fur new music -game titles are due by year's end: "Guitar Her " (Sept. ), "The Beatles: Rck Band" (Sept. 9), "DJ Her" (Oct. 7) and "Band Her" (Nv. ). Videgame and music executives will watch all f their sales clsely, as the music - game genre is in dire need f a sht in the arm. During the first seven mnths f 009, revenue frm U.S. sales f "Guitar Her" and "Rck Band" tumbled % and 7 %, respectively, frm the same perid last year, accrding t vide - game analyst Michael Pachter f Wedbush Mrgan. He says sales f the tw games cmbined ttaled $ millin thrugh the end f July, dwn % frm abut $ millin a year earlier. Part f the decline stems frm a slwdwn in the verall U.S. videgame sectr, where NPD Grup says revenue fell 9% in July frm the same perid last year, marking the fifth straight mnth f year -veryear declines. But it's als wrth nting that music - game makers nw sell new editins f their titles withut bundled packages f hardware like new guitar and drum cntrllers, making them less expensive than earlier versins. S it wuld be premature t pint Fur tps (clckwise frm tp left): Grandmaster Flash in 'DJ Her'; Nirvana's Kurt Cbain in 'Guitar Her '; the Beatles in 'The Beatles: Rck Band'; and Marn 's Adam Levine in 'Band Her.' t the recent decline in revenue as a sign that the ppularity f music games is winding dwn. "The music genre is a victim f its wn success," Pachter says. "While it's dwn year ver year, that's cming ff f a gigantic base. t's crazy t act like it's ver." That said, much is riding n these fur new titles. While nne f them is expected t match the unit sales r revenue that earlier hit titles generated, the new games will need t sell respectable numbers t maintain the categry's relevance. T d s, game makers are lking t draw newcmers int the fld with music that ges beynd the usual hard rck and heavy metal tracks featured in earlier versins. "DJ Her," fr example FLASH DANCE The iblink nise -islatin headphnes aim t please bth the eyes and the ears. Targeting nighttime jggers and fashin -cnscius teens alike, the earbuds feature built -in USBrechargeable LED lights that flash alng t the rhythm f the music. The luder the music, the brighter they blink. And as part f the marketing plan, the cmpany is asking users t uplad phts f themselves in varius settings with the earbuds blinking away. The iblink earphnes are available fr $0. -AB targets hip -hp and dance music fans with a turntable - based cntrller and a sundtrack featuring Eminem, Jay -Z and Beastie Bys. "The Beatles: Rck Band" aims fr lder garners, while "Band Her" targets a yunger, pp audience. "There's still 80% f peple wh wn cnsles wh haven't bught a music franchise game yet," says Dan Rsensweig, president /CEO factivisin s "Guitar Her" unit. "The 'Guitar Her' franchise is likely t be the N. - r N. - selling franchise verall this year. This is a very pwerful categry and a very pwerful franchise." Recent price cuts fr game cnsles will als help lure new users. n August, Micrsft and Sny slashed $00 ff the price f the Xbx 0 Elite and the 80 GB PlayStatin, respectively, reducing the price fr each cnsle t $00. Abut % f new cnsle buyers als pick up a music -based game in the same purchase, Pachter says. Game designers knw they will need t innvate with functinality t keep the categry relevant. "Guitar Her " attempts this by adding new ptins, such as allwing weak garners t change the difficulty setting during the sng. An- ther music game, Sny's " Singstar," adds the ability t recrd perfrmances n webcams and is explring the use f mtin -capture technlgy. Still, these are just incremental upgrades. The music -game categry needs far brader advancements t re- create its grwth rate f the last three years, accrding t gaming analyst Jesse Divnich f Electrnic Entertainment Design and Research. "Anytime ne sees explsive grwth... it is likely due t a very large evlutinary jump in a game's feature set ver its predecessrs," Divnich bserved in a clumn at ndustrygamers.cm in July. " 'Guitar Her' and 'Rck Band' bth face a ceiling in feature evlutin due t their strng reliance n imitating a real -wrld experience... t is tugh t evlve a guitar -like peripheral when the guitar itself has nt seen a majr feature upgrade in nearly 0 years."

9 9 M- TH = R kld Music wants t be free. Befre yu cndemn this statement, let me explain. 'm nt advcating the verturn f cpyright laws t allw peple t cnsume music free f charge. recgnize and appreciate the inherent value f recrded music. als believe that, at the right price pints, recrded music will have cntinued viability. But nne f us can deny the mmentum behind the idea that the cnsumptin f recrded music shuld be free. Fr thse willing t g beynd the prduct itself, believe that significant marketing pprtunities exist t facilitate and leverage the scial and cultural value f music. Music needs t be heard and it needs t be shared, even mre than it needs t be sld. When authr Stewart Brand dedared a quarter -century ag that "infrmatin wants t be free," many viewed this statement as a predictin f the death finfrmatin -based cmmerce. Fr many, his statement sunded like unthinkable market anarchy. Yet, in the face f infrmatin wanting t be free, cmpanies like Ggle FREE MUSC AND SOCAL CURRENCY became fast -grwing, extrardinarily prfitable enterprises by adding value t the new behavirs that arse. Free infrmatin gave rise t new needs and therefre new business pprtunities. Users needed their free infrmatin rganized in a manner that made it easily accessible. Ggle recgnized and explited these pprtunities. Similarly, in the face f music wanting t be free, new viable business mdels can and will arise. One f the mst interesting, albeit inadvertent, side effects f the "music is free" era is that music has nce again becme scial. The cnsumer demand -the thirst - centers nt n the purchase f recrded music, but n the scial interactin and cultural capital derived frm music. Within this framewrk, PepsiC has develped prgrams that heighten future pssibilities within music, such as Muntain Dew's label, Green Label Sund. We launched Green Label Sund t empwer a cmmunity f artists wh have a DY ethic, wh ften functin utside the mainstream and wh fundamentally want t remain true t themselves. Wrking with the Crnerstne agency, we give these artists access t resurces and tls t expand their expsure, plugging them int the Muntain Dew infrastructure t fuel their grwth. t's a singles -nly label that attempts t strengthen artists' bnds with their ",000 true fans" (as Wired magazine c- funder Kevin Kelly put it) and t expand that scial bnd t ptential fans. We're nt charging cnsumers fr dwnlads f the singles. We are giving them away. (Yes, this is easy fr a nnendemic music cmpany t say.) Thrugh the free music, acts like Matt & Kim. the Cl Kids. Kurma, Flsstradamus and Carline Plachek have deepened their relatinships with existing fans. They've als expanded their fan netwrk, increased their ability t tur and develped a platfrm that allws them t generate incme. The music served as a catalyst fr expanding the scial bnd - fr sharing a human experience. Beynd the hundreds f thusands f dwnlads, we featured the artists' music in 0- secnd radi spts, included them in MTV specials, put them n a sld -ut tur (with a $ dr charge), amplified their presence n key sites and blgs, and created a center f gravity t attract new fans. Green Label Sund gives its partner acts a real sht at success by thrughly cvering the fundamentals f artist develpment- that's smething Jukebxes and tp 0 radi were great scial tls f past generatins. Fr this generatin, the mechanisms have changed, but the ideal, if nt the sng, remains the same. many new artists aren't affrded in tday's music business. We're helping them create deeper fan cnnectins, prmting clear grwth fr ur acts in turing, publishing, merchandising and recrd sales revenue. Our cmpany als benefits frm the label. Muntain Dew's brand equity increases in part frm the artists' success, but mstly frm playing a critical rle in building this scial and cultural currency. Muntain Dew underwrites the lgistics but therwise steers clear f the creative prcess. t's enugh that the music is breaking free and finding its way int apprpriate scial circles. That's the functin jukebxes and tp 0 radi used t serve. Thse were great scial tls f past generatins. Fr this generatin, the mechanisms have changed, but the ideal, if nt the sng, remains the same. Take music frm the prverbial frest where it's nt getting heard and make it scial currency. Create scial currency and, in time, there's n telling hw much that will be wrth.

10 BLLBOARD SEPTEMBER T rfir l affic ahead: YONDER N STRNG BAND Travelin' Band Ynder Muntain Takes ts Unique Sund T Venues Big And Small Smetimes being hard t define has its advantages. Ynder Muntain String Band has been turing fr nearly years, lng enugh t adapt t the range f venues apprpriate fr its unique music. A lk at the Clrad -based quartet's rute in supprt f its new Frg Pad Recrds album, "The Shw," shws amphitheater dates -including a headliner at Red Rcks near Denver and a three -night triple bill at the Grge in Gerge, Wash., with Dave Matthews Band and G. Lve -mixed in with festivals, theaters and Huse f Blues clubs in Bstn and Chicag. "The band plays venues that crss virtually the cmplete spectrum f ur business," says Aarn Pinkus, the band's agent at Paradigm, "frm clubs a la the 9:0 Club in Washingtn, D.C.; t mre traditinal perfrming arts venues like the Tennessee Theater in Knxville; t festival spaces like Hrning's Hideut utside f Prtland, Ore.; where they hst their wn festival, the Nrthwest String Summit." Pinkus says radi r retail desn't determine Ynder Muntain's ruting. "t's always been abut the previus play in the market infrming the current play and hw the current shw sets up the next step in the market," he says. "f the band gets an extra lift frm radi, r the album sells, then that's gravy. But we lk fr sustained grwth, even if it cmes in small increments, because it's a lng race, and we plan n being arund fr a lng, lng time." While Ynder Muntain features traditinal bluegrass instrumentatin -minus a fiddle -the band clearly pulls frm a wide range f influences, frm the Grateful Dead t the Del McCury Band. Jeff Austin, Ynder Muntain's mandlin player, says he didn't grw up listening t bluegrass, s when he discvered it as a yung adult by way f Jhn McEuen, he brught rck sensibilities t his mandlin playing. " adapted it t what my ear heard when was yung, t the rck kind f style," Austin says. " have fun playing music that way." Ynder Muntain's music straddles the fence between rck and bluegrass, but it's safe t say that the band's audience is mre n the rck side, specifically the jam scene. 0, 009 "As far as a cmmunity ges, wuld say that the bluegrass cmmunity hasn't really embraced us," Austin says. "But think that's a lse interpretatin f the whle scenari, because the bluegrass musicians have never shunned us. There's peple that we've met that are musicians in the bluegrass field that are really nw dear friends f urs, mre than just smebdy t lk up t." The band's rather inauspicius intrductin t the bluegrass cmmunity came several years ag when Ynder Muntain clsed a night f perfrmances at the nternatinal Bluegrass Music Assn. gathering in Luisville, Ky. "We gt this great intrduc- On The Rad RAY WADDELL tin frm Pete Wernick [f Ht Rize[, and when we started t play peple just left, they just exited ut f the venue," says Austin, wh laughs abut the incident nw. "But that's nt reflected in any f the musicians knw." f the bluegrass cmmunity hasn't exactly welcmed Yn- der Muntain, "the peple that have embraced us have allwed us t be urselves," Austin says. "What we might have lst in that ne cmmunity, we gained 0 -fld in this ther grup f flks." Austin describes "this ther grup f flks" as "really pen listeners," many f whm were at Michigan's Rthbury Festival in July. "Peple had been ut in the weather, getting rained n and baked in the sun; we were nt ging t g ut there and play a set f ballads and gentle waltzes," Austin says. "Frm the first nte until 90 minutes later we played ur asses ff; get the peple mving." The band's live apprach stems frm when it first started ut trying t turn n fans by playing festivals fr free. "t was instilled in us by a lt f ur musical friends, especially the guys frm Leftver Salmn," Austin says. "They wuld always say, 'When yu get that chance, play yur ass ff, knck 'em ut.' One thing 'm glad we kept is that mentality. That's the way yu get peple t stay and remember yu and becme a fan. That's what pays the bills and allws yu t travel ne mre tur and then anther tur."

Tremblay has pened his wn venture, Hive Management, taking with him Billy Talent, currently the mst ppular rck band in Canada.

McBride dwnplays the imprtance f the recent artist departures. "We're sitting here in a business that has been in a recessin fr just ver 0 years," he says, "and we're in a much strnger psitin than we were 0 years ag." McBride is fcused n resurrecting the all- female Lilith Fair turing festival- drmant fr the past decade -n the back f a new album by lngtime client McLachlan.

13 GLOBAL Trpical Strm Frnt Caribbean Festival Circuit Hit By Dwindling Spnsrship Supprt t's nt all sunshine in the Caribbean, especially fr the regin's nce -bming festival scene. Falling turist numbers have caused spnsrship mney in the turism -reliant regin's ecnmies t dwindle, resulting in tugh times fr the Caribbean's utdr shws. Jamaica's heavily prmted Reggae Sum - fest (July -) bucked a dwnward trend by drawing 8,000 fans -up frm,000 in 008 -with U.S. names including Ne -Y and Keri Hilsn plus tp -tier Jamaican artists like Damian Marley and Beenie Man. But even Sumfest had spnsrship issues. After frmer title spnsr Red Stripe pulled ut, five lcal spnsrs each raised their cntributins t at least $0,000 t cmpensate, accrding t Sumfest directr f marketing and spnsrship Marcia McDnnugh. McDnnugh says the supprt reflects the event's dmestic standing after running fr 7 years, as "there's a feeling f wnership amng Jamaicans -it's ur reggae festival and we want it t succeed." Other events have been less frtunate. Tbag's Plymuth Jazz Festival, which launched in 00 and has featured Sting, Eltn Jhn, Stevie Wnder and Rd Stewart, was canceled in February after headline spnsr CL Financial pulled ut amid expectatin f pr attendance due t the financial climate. A lack f spnsrs was als blamed fr last year's cancellatins f Jamaica's annual reggae cncerts Original Dancehall Jam Jam, Welcme t Jamrck and East Fest, which are held in December. U.S. reggae band Mrgan Heritage, which is signed t VP Recrds f Queens, N.Y., has rganized East Fest since its 000 launch. Vcalist Peetah Mrgan says the event als faced a tugh lcal ecnmy in 007, but adds that "ur spnsrs supprted us [and] we fught ur way thrugh." But after East Fest drew nly,000 attendees in 007, cmpared with,000 in the previus year, spnsrships evaprated, canceling the 008 event. "Peple dn't realize the expenses invlved," Mrgan says, nting that ticket sales dn't cver East Fest's csts. "We're still hpeful fr 009, but the ecnmy's nw belw the 007 level." Trinidad's lng- established Steelpan & Jazz Festival, which features a rster this year that includes trumpeter Etienne Charles and Exdus Steel Orchestra, scaled back frm eight nights t three (Sept. 0 -Oct. ) this year after lsing spnsrships. That fllws a trubled 008, when ne main spnsr "pulled ut days befre the festival started," csting the rganizers $00,000, says Ainsley Mark, chairman f rganizer Queen's Ryal Cllege Fundatin. An annuncement hasn't yet been made abut 009's Dancehall Jam Jam, which previusly attracted audiences f,000. Meanwhile, Welcme t Jamrck, which drew 7,000 in 00, is tentatively scheduled fr Dec.9 in Kingstn, Jamaica. The Caribbean Turism Organizatin reprts falling turist numbers in f its reprting cuntries cmpared with last year. As a result, many islands are encuraging inter - Caribbean turism. A similar apprach benefited Barbads' five - week Crp Over festival, which highlights calyps and sca music each July and August. Expanded reginal prmtin brught turists frm Grenada, Trinidad and Jamaica in 009, says David Jrdan, a cnsultant with Barbads' Natinal Cultural Fundatin, which helped crdinate the campaign. That helped the festival's traditinal clsing Chbblpt cncert (Aug. ) attract 0,000 fr the secnd cnsecutive year, with a lineup including sca artists Machel Mntan and Alisn Hinds. Jrdan is cnfident f returning in 00 despite nly breaking even this year, when "csts increased frm $00,000 t $0,000, [but] spnsrship increased nly $,000." Sca maverick Mntan is a veteran f the festival scene, a lng- established rute fr Caribbean acts t reach wider audiences. With festivals shrinking and lcal recrded -music sales histrically small, "even he is ding things differently nw," says his manager (and mther) Liz Mntan, nting that her sn is writing a children's bk and releasing an exercise tape. Caribbean artists like her sn, Mntan says, are seeking "avenues t generate incme ther than festivals and turing." nternatinal rhymes: ' TERF'.OW (left) and OMAR OFFEN UM Dakar Dreaming Nmadic Wax Brings Senegalese Hip -Hp T The U.S. f yu thught Ludacris' supprt f Barack Obama during the last U.S. presidential campaign was grundbreaking, think again -candidates running fr president in Senegal all had fficial rappers back in 007. t's just ne f the fascinating details t emerge frm a new dcumentary, "Demcracy in Dakar," which chrnicles the birth and rise f a hip -hp scene in the West African natin and explres the rle f musicians and MCs in plitics. The film -which is nt nly infrmative and well -prduced, but als accmpanied by a killer sundtrack -was c- prduced by Nmadic Wax and Sl Prductins. Nmadic The ndie s CORTNEY HARDNG Wax, which grew ut f funder Ben Hersn's senir thesis at Hampshire Cllege, is a small label with an internatinal bent that has hit n a winning frmula, branching ut beynd music t film and shwcasing music in unusual settings. "Nmadic Wax started as a music prductin cmpany," Hersn says. "When was in Senegal, was listening t s much great lcal music, but it was all n cassettes and the recrding quality was terrible. Once had prduced and mixed and mastered a bunch f tracks, started t wnder wh wuld buy it." Hersn tried shpping the cmp t sme established labels but came up empty. He then decided t start his wn label and struck indie distributin deals. But he quickly fund ut that simply selling cmpilatins f virtually unknwn African hip -hp artists wasn't enugh t pay the bills. "We expanded ut f necessity," he says. " met Magee [Mcllvaine, c- funder f Sl Prductins] and we started wrking tgether n the films. als started wrking with clleges t bring the film and the artists t campuses." Prducing packages fr clleges and universities has prved mre successful than turing artists thrugh the usual live music utlets. "We almst always lse mney when we put n shws at dubs," Hersn says. "With the schls, yu get a set amunt." Nmadic Wax turs have included a diverse range f artists induding Senegalese rapper Waterflw, U.K. hip -hp du Petic Pilgrimage and Syrian- American MC Omar Offendum. Hersn adds that Nmadic Wax is wrking n writing curriculum fr schls t use t teach students abut West African plitics and culture. Hersn adds that the cmpilatins and film sundtracks he prduces are mney lsers. "At this pint, they are smething we have t d t get the music ut there," he says. "We've cut pretty far back -we have digital distributin and sell physical cpies thrugh ur Web site, but they aren't sld in stres. We might g int stres at sme pint, but nt right nw." Licensing has prved t be anther majr revenue stream fr Nmadic Wax. "The majrity f ur incme cmes frm licensing," Hersn says. "We've dne deals with Nike, Starbucks, Lifetime TV and ESPN." T Hersn, the licensing successes represent a grwing aware- ness f and appreciatin fr African hip -hp in the States. "t's a ttally different climate nw," he says. "n 00, there seemed t be a renewed interest in Africa and technlgy, and scial media have brken dwn barriers. There are a lt f African rappers in the U.S., and they are ging t be challenging the nrms f U.S. hip -hp. We've already seen this in Eurpe -almst all f the big French rappers are riginally frm Africa." He adds that African hip -hp just needs ne breakut star t escape frm the "wrld music" label and crss ver t the mainstream. "t culd be similar t what happened with reggae," he says. "t was seen as this `ther' srt f music, and then Bb Marley became a pp star. He made the lcal seem universal." And while the dcumentary reveals that Senegalese rappers d make vertly plitical music - sme s vert that pliticians try t ban it frm being played n the radi -Hersn says that they als cver many mre cmmn tpics. "There are plenty f sngs abut partying, and almst every recrd has a sng abut hw much the rapper lves his mther." But while he waits fr a Senegalese star t break ut, Hersn says Nmadic Wax will mve ahead with a number f prjects. "We're still wrking 'Demcracy in Dakar,' and we're als wrking n a 'Demcracy in Paris' film abut yuth in the prjects during the 007 electin, which will als have a great sundtrack," he says.

After a year f ntable successes, including Wisin & Yandel's hit album "La Revlucin" and pp artist Luis Fnsi's prmtinal campaign with Telemund and AT &T, Klm spke with Billbard abut finding a hme fr hit sngs n multiple platfrms and redefining the meaning f "crssver" in Latin music. Will yu line up cmmercial spnsrs befre yu pitch a package f artist prgramming t a TV netwrk? Yes, we bring the spnsr. Our business is t generate cntent and sell it and be partners wit - a channel, be it bradcast r cable r nternet. Yu can nly d it with a pwerful cmpany and a lt f hits. At the end f the day, we need traffic and traffic cmes frm hit sngs. S we're seeing hw we can be creative and give peple what they want t see: their star making an album and hw they d this r that. Nt after the album cmes ut and there's a DVD -it's while the album is being made. My respnsibility is t think in terms f an entertainment business. Yes, there are album deals with artists, but there are many ther pprtunities we're bringing t the table. When Universal rerganized its U.S. Latin peratin, the pp and urban labels were put under yur leadership. s that partly a reflectin f peple's listening habits? Urban music has becme the new pp in Latin music. Crssver isn't what it used t be, which was, " used t sing in Spanish but nw sing in English." Crssver, t me, is frm ne genre t anther. At last year's Billbard Latin Music Cnference, there was a Q &A with Wisin & Yandel. And right after that was Enrique glesias' Q &A. S during the break, intrduced them t each ther s they culd talk. They had chemistry and they started wrking n [a new versin f] "Llr Pr Ti," Enrique's secnd single. n the past we'd dne a lt f thse things, but this time we said we wuld capture it with an image. We invested in a gd vide fr that sng. n the past, such things were thught f as a remix fr radi and clubs. [This time], we said, "Nwe'll d it with the intentin f crssing cultures." When Enrique sang in Mexic, Wisin & Yandel came a day early s they culd sing tgether at Enrique's shw. And when Wisin & Yandel sang "Llr Pr Ti" withut Enrique at their wn shw, it was ne f the shw's mst ppular numbers. And think these types f fusins, when they're dne with that type f thinking -it's a way f selling music. Enrique is ging t Argentina t sing with Wisin & Yandel. And nw with Wisin & Yandel's new single, it'll feature Enrique glesias, and they'll film a vide tgether in Argentina. We just did Paulina Rubi's new single with Pitbull, "Ni Rsas Ni Juguetes." We just finished it and nw we're ging t d a vide. t's anther explsive cmbinatin. This will be the prmtinal single instead f the riginal? n Enrique's case, when "Llr Pr Ti" was already a hit, we put ut the versin with Wisin & Yandel. We'll d the same thing with Paulina. When "Ni Rsas Ni Juguetes" gets up there, we'll put ut the versin with Pitbull, but nt at radi. The best premiere is a viral campaign s that peple can discver Paulina and Pitbull tgether. D YuTube vide streams really bring in significant incme fr Universal Music Latin and Machete? Abslutely. YuTube is a partner with us, and every hit we make, the revenue desn't just cme frm the U.S., but frm YuTube's agreements in each cuntry. Hw much f yur revenue cmes frm things ther than music prducts sld t the cnsumer -fr example, spnsrships, synchs and YuTube streams? can't tell yu a percentage, but ur business is ging in that directin. Our business is fcused n mnetizing all f ur actins. S what are we ding? Generating a lt f visual cntent. Let's say we're wrking n a star's album. We'll film in rder t create a making - f -the -album reality shw fr webisdes r mbile phnes. We're creating a lt f cntent arund ur artists t lk fr that type f cmmercializatin. Hw has yur strategy fr signing new artists changed? t used t be that we wuld sign an artist and recrd an album with sngs, and we'd g t radi. That's ver. Tday, we sign an artist and we recrd ne, tw r three sngs and we start a different prmtinal strategy. We start wrking it at scial netwrks and nline and g directly tward the cnsumer. With that direct cnsumer cntact, we knw which directin t g with the prject. Fr example, with [new artist] Jery Sandval, we nticed that peple liked the urban side f her mre. S ur A &R department started recrding her with ther prducers. S why even sign new artists fr albums? f an album isn't ready, we put ut singles t the market. There's n pressure t put ut an album, but there is a lt f pressure t make hits. We'll make a deal in which we're nt bligated t release an album. Yu sign new artists single by single? t's nt like yu put ut a single and then renew yu. t's an pen deal. sign with yu and we wrk tgether. We can put ut a single, r an EP, r whatever. Or maybe we'll d a sng fr a film and keep wrking n the repertire. We just signed J. King and Max - iman thrugh [Puert Rican reggaetón label] White Lin. They're the tw biggest reggaetóners in Puert Ric. We signed them, and what did we d first? The remix f Fanny Lu's secnd single, featuring J. King and Maximan. Tday they're filming the vide in New Yrk. We signed J. King and Maximan and we're nt talking abut an album. First we put them with Fanny Lu and we've put tgether a cmpilatin f new artists with White Lin and put a cuple f their sngs there. fthey culd be fr an album, perfect, we'll put ut an album. When, we dn't knw. Tday, we need t make artists, because albums are a thing f the past. t used t be that we wuld sign an artist and recrd an album with sngs, and we'd g t radi. That's ver. There's n pressure t put ut an album, but there is a lt f pressure t make hits. SEPTEMBER, 009

16 Miranda Lambert s A Little Bit Cuntry, A Little Bit Rck'n'rll And Ttally Ready T Take Over Radi By Ken Tucker BLLBOARD SEPTEMBER, 009 PHOTOGRAPH BY PANDEE ST. NCOLAS

17 7 Miranda Lambert's set pens by prclamatin: A warning siren rars frm the ludspeakers as the huse lights fall. A hip -hp track bms, its billwing bass and percussive clicks rattling the 0,000 r s fans wh fill the Raleigh, N.C., Time Warner Cable Music Pavilin fr Kenny Chesney's annual tur. Lambert, secnd n a three -act bill, rushes nt the stage as the band cranks up, her smile beaming nearly as brightly as the sequined silver tank -tp she sprts ver mildly tattered, wildly tight blue jeans. "Hw ya ding, Raleigh?" she asks, emphasizing the last syllable playfully. She starts quickly int "Kersene," her first majr single, hlding the micrphne like Mick Jagger, jumping a bit and stmping a lt. Lambert gives a dynamic, smart perfrmance that mixes rck's certitude and cuntry's sensitivity. t's a fitting representatin fher third album, "Revlutin," due Sept. 9 n Clumbia Nashville -itself a seductive mix f spirited rck and heartfelt cuntry. While Lambert's first tw albums were defined by in- yur -face sngs like "Kersene" and "Gunpwder & Lead," "Revlutin" reveals -like her new campaign as the face f Cttn nc. -a sfter side. t's a musically adventurus album that sets Lambert up fr success in ne arena she hasn't yet cnquered: radi. And that's still the main channel where cuntry fans get their music. Lambert has released 0 singles t radi. Fur have reached the tp 0 n Billbard's Ht Cuntry Sngs chart: the incendiary "Kersene" peaked at N. in 00, "Famus in a Small Twn" hit N. in 007, and the vulnerable "Mre Like Her" reached N. 7 earlier this year. Her biggest chart hit was "Gunpwder & Lead," which peaked at N. 7 last year. The first single ff "Revlutin," "Dead Flwers," reached N. 7. But just because Lambert hasn't had a majr radi hit desn't mean prgrammers dn't appreciate her. "There are sme artists that yu 'believe' mre than thers," says Sctt Lindy, PD f Atlanta's WUBL (the Bull). "T truly be successful, an artist needs t be vulnerable when they perfrm, shwing their true self with little r n fear f what the audience thinks. Her fans -and 99% f all listeners -dn't fllw the charts and dn't care abut album sales." Lambert desn't sund verly cncerned, either. " wuld abslutely lve t have a tp five [hit]," she says, "but 've had a great career and s 'd rather keep it the same than try t d smething different and nt have it wrk at all." Lambert's majr -label debut, "Kersene," released n Epic Nashville, has sld 97,000 cpies, accrding t Nielsen Sund - Scan. When Epic clsed Lambert mved t sister label Clumbia Nashville, where her secnd album, "Crazy Ex- Girlfriend," sld 79,000. Beverlee Brannigan, PD at KFD Wichita, Kan., says Lambert stands apart frm ther females in cuntry. "Miranda has a rck edge t her, where sme ther females in the frmat are mre pp -leaning," she says. "Yet, even with her edge, Miranda has a very strng cuntry sensibility." Like Lindy, Brannigan is fine with Lambert's lack f a majr radi hit. "Tw millin sld is impressive with r withut radi airplay," she says. "Everyne's in a hurry fr a hit, but what's wrng with a career that builds slw and steady?" Lambert hpes that her sales histry will buy the new di- rectin she takes n "Revlutin." "'m expanding in wh am as a persn and my career and my persnal life," she says. " was ready t cme up with sme new sunds." Thse sunds include the punkish drum and raw guitar - driven "That's the Way the Wrld Ges Rund," the hillbilly hybrid "White Liar" and "Maintain the Pain," which wes less t Jhnny Cash than the Clash. "Time t Get a Gun" is a thrwback t '70s cuntry -rck with mre than a dash f B - rgan. Lambert shares credit fr her sund with prducers Frank Liddell and Mike Wrucke, wh have been with her frm the start. "Thse guys are unbelievable," she says. " knew befre even gt a recrd deal wh wanted t prduce my first recrd. did the plitically crrect thing and met with a lt f prducers, but knew in my heart wh wanted. 've always been abut n rules in the studi and they keep innvating my sund. They get me." Lambert's recrding prcess starts when she plays her sngs fr Liddell and Wrucke. " dn't have wrk tapes r fancy dems," she says. "They build this amazing music arund my lyrics." Lve Stries Miranda Lambert And Byfriend Blake Sheltn Team On Sngwriting -And Twitter "Falling in lve is awesme but it's hrrible fr sng - writing," Miranda Lambert says- except, f curse, when yu can crral yur significant ther int writing with yu. Lambert's byfriend is fellw cuntry star Blake Sheltn, wh c -wrte three sngs n Lambert's "Revlutin." " like the sad, cheating, mad, killing- peple sngs, and that's what 'm drawn t, whether 'm singing them r nt," Lambert says. "This time arund was OK with having a few sngs that were lve sngs. He had s much t d with that" On the fund- her -matecheating- and -made-him- pay sng "Sin fr a Sin," Sheltn "started writing frm a girl's perspective and was even saying things that a girl wuld say when we were sitting there writing," Lambert says. "t was a really cl bnding experience fr us." Meanwhile, "The Huse That Built Me," a pwerful sng abut revisiting a childhd hme and all its memries written by Tm Duglas and Allen Sham - blin, was riginally pitched t Sheltn. "t sunds like smene wrte it fr me, but fund it riding arund with Blake," Lambert says. "He had [it n] a pitch CD- started balling when heard it. He said, 'S guess yu want that sng?' " Lambert and Sheltn cwrte "Lve Sng" with Lady Antebellum's Charles Kelley and Dave Haywd. " gt a call at abut ne in the mrning frm Blake and Charles and Dave. think they'd had a few martinis and had this big plan t cme dwn and write," she says. " thught they'd frget abut it, but they came dwn tw weeks later." The sng is uncharacteristically lvey -dvey fr Lambert -but it made the album. Lambert can als thank Sheltn, a Twitter user knwn fr his ut -f-left- field tweets, fr intrducing her t the micrblgging tl. "Blake taught me hw t tweet, which is funny because he's s nt techrically inclined," she says. "t's just fun. t's an utlet where can say randm crap. What didn't knw was that peple wuld be interested in that randm crap." -KT Liddell says the system wrks. "Once yu hear smething presented in a certain way, yur mind is set. f it's just a guitar -vcal [setup], there are fewer precnceived ntins abut hw it can sund at the end. Yu can take it wherever yu want it." Unlike her secnd album, which was rushed because f her success after the first, Lambert set aside time t write sngs fr "Revlutin." " tk sme time ver the Christmas hlidays and in January t really fcus n sngwriting," she says. " can write n the rad, but the best place is my farm." That farm is in Oklahma, a few miles frm that f beau Blake Sheltn, with whm she c -wrte three sngs (see stry, abve). "Revlutin" als includes cvers frm Jhn Prine, Julie Miller and Canadian alt- cuntry artist Fred Eaglesmith. And Lambert says she's frging mechanical ryalties n three f her sl sngs s that the album can include tracks. "We made this recrd as a whle album," Lambert says, "and if we tk even ne sng ff, it wuldn't be cmplete." t was the right decisin, she believes. "'ve had sme great success and a steady career, but feel like this is the ne t take me t the next level. 'm glad tk the time because have a great prduct." Builcing A Brand While Lambert tries t cnquer radi as an artist, she's already making a name fr herself as a brand. "Peple knw what they're getting when yu say there's a new Miranda album cming," says Tanya Welch, senir directr f artist develpment fr Sny Nashville. "She's had an elevated prfile because f things like the ACM [Academy f Cuntry Music] album f the year, even when we haven't had the radi success we wuld have hped fr. That brings partners t the table like the Cttn deal and [the Recrding Academy], wh wanted her t participate in the Grammy in the Schls prject." Sny is still making plans, but Welch says retail has been eager t supprt Lambert's new album. "Because f her track recrd, the accunts are thinking ut f the bx and bringing us pprtunities," Welch says. "They knw that a -track cllectin is a tremendus value fr the cnsumer's mney." Fans wh pre -rder "Revlutin" n itunes will receive a bnus track, "Stay With Me," which is lifted frm Lambert's Cuntry Music Assn. Music Festival appearance. And a fur - sng EP, "Dead Flwers," will be available exclusively at Best Buy Sept. 8. Lambert als sht a perfrmance fr Wal -Mart's "Sund - check" prgram. The label will use Twitter, YuTube and scial netwrks t reach Lambert's cre fans as well as thse wh became aware f her thrugh critical praise r her ACM album f the year nd. Lambert will be featured in Peple's fall cuntry special, as well as in Cuntry Weekly, an Us Weekly fall fashin feature and Maxim. She'll als d a rund f TV, including ABC's "Gd Mrning America" n the day f the album's release. Lambert will play Dallas as part f the Texas State Fair, Chicag's Cuntry Music Festival and Minneaplis the week f release, since all are histrically strng markets fr her. She'll headline a handful f dates the rest f the year and tur t supprt a headliner in January. n March she'll head ut n her wn again, playing,000- t,000 -seat arenas and theaters. "We're building her int a hard -ticket act and that's the game plan fr the next mnths," 0 Artist Agency principal Jey Lee says. Lambert says she's learned frm Chesney during their recent tur. "He's gt it dwn fr sure," she says. " really needed t be in frnt f as many peple as culd, and what better way t d it than be n the biggest tur in cuntry." One eagerly anticipated perfrmance is Sept. at Nashville's Ryman Auditrium, where Lambert will play her new album beginning t end, then finish with a few surprises. "t's hard t play Nashville," she says. "Peple dn't say that, but playing any music twn is hard. Peple are jaded. They dn't cme t the shws as fans like we're used t n the rad." Lambert's Nashville shw will be spnsred by Cttn nc., which recently launched an experiential marketing prmtin fcused n Lambert, Zey Deschanel and Jazmine Sullivan. The prmtin ffers mall shppers a chance t peek int clsets filled with the kinds f cttn clthes wrn by the singers, as well as a chance t try their hand at recrding their wn versins f "The Fabric f Our Lives." The cttn prmtin will visit markets thrugh Nv., including Bstn, Chicag, Las Vegas, Milwaukee, San Francisc, Atlanta, Nashville and Batn Ruge, La. Back in Raleigh, Lambert struts her stuff nstage, shaking her blue -jeaned rear at the crwd while singing in frnt f fur clth banners cvered in sketches fivry- handled pistls. She's ding what she lves, and the audience is feeding n the energy. "n 0 years hpe 'm talking t yu abut my new album and tur," she says with a laugh. "Music is what d; can't d anything else. dn't have any ther skills." Additinal reprting by Graysn Currin in Raleigh, N.C. SEPTEMBER, 009

19 BACK N 9, Beatles publicist Derek Taylr predicted that "the kids f AD 000" wuld still dig the Fab Fur. "Fr the magic f the Beatles is, suspect, timeless and ageless... t is adred by the wrld." When Taylr made this claim -in the liner ntes f "Beatles fr Sale " -AD 000 was mre than years away. The magic f the Beatles was just years ld, at least n recrd, and the idea f a rck band finding an audience behind the rn Curtain, let alne in China, must have seemed like a stretch. Hw culd s many peple agree n ne band? Frty -five years later-al - mst a decade after the millennium -Taylr's predictin still sunds bld. The magic f the Beatles isn't legally available n the nternet, the medium that really des bring the wrld tgether. With hundreds f channels and thusands f Web sites, hw can s many peple agree n ne band? And yet the music f the Beatles is still adred by the wrld -t a degree that might surprise anyne wh has written ff the idea f mass media fr a mass audience. The Beatles' "" is the bestselling album f the decade s far, with. millin cpies sld, accrding t Nielsen SundScan. The band has sld 8. millin albums since 000, secnd nly t Eminem (with millin), wh they culd well pass befre the end f the year. Last mnth a Pew Research survey revealed that the Beatles are ne f the mst ppular acts amng all age grups. Paul McCartney spent the summer playing stadiums, the Beatles' "Rck Band" videgame made the cver f the New Yrk Times Magazine, and the " " reissues f the grup's catalg will be amng the best- selling albums f the fall. "t's staggering, isn't it?" McCartney says just befre he takes the stage in Tulsa, Okla., sunding genuinely surprised that his ld band culd be the best- selling act f the decade. There were times when sme f the Beatles themselves seemed t disagree with Taylr's assessment f their enduring appeal -Jhn Lennn famusly sang, " dn't believe in Beatles." But McCartney never stpped valuing the band's legacy, which he guards carefully. Mst recently, he apprved the remastering fr the " " reissues and helped make "The Beatles: Rck Band" as accurate as pssible, dwn t the clr f the walls in Liverpl's famus Cavern Club. He als spent sme f the summer thinking abut Beatles sngs -which make up abut half his set -and he says they've never sunded better than they d n the reissues. "t sunds," he says, "like we were in the rm." saw yu play a few weeks ag in New Yrk and it lked like yu were having the time f yur life. D yu still get the same charge ut f perfrming that yu used t? t's been feeling very gd at the mment. Because we're nt flgging away n a great big tur -we're picking and chsing certain dates, sme f which are events like the pening f Citi Field [in New Yrk]- they're special events. We've gt plenty f time between them t hang, s we're almst cmbining it with a hliday. And the band's playing great. Als, the audiences are super fab. They're ging bananas. We haven't been arund t much, s they're nt fed up with us yet. Yu're playing sme Beatles sngs just as the remasters are abut t cme ut. Des that bring back memries? always d sngs want t play and als sngs the audience wants t hear. think it's interesting, when yu have sme time t cnsider things. was talking t peple at dinner the ther night and they'd heard abut the shw r seen it and [we started talking abut] the significance f the Beatles plitically. S many peple, in America particularly, cme up t me and say, "Yu changed my life." This whle idea f the significance f the Beatles is incredible. Smene mentined the Russian thing -the bringing dwn f the rn Curtain. That was the whle eths behind rck music -we just happened t symblize it because we were pssibly the mst visible. t's nt ften that that kind f a thing has such a glbal influence. We were lucky because we were at a time f glbal cmmunicatins -TV and recrds and radi were stretching thrugh brders. And the ther day was ding a bit f yga and the yga teacher said, " have t thank yu and the guys - wuldn't be ding this if it weren't fr the Beatles." feel that mre as time ges n. dn't knw if yu knw this, but the Beatles' "" is prbably ging t be the best -selling album f the decade in the United States, accrding t Nielsen Sund - Scan, and the Beatles might be the best -selling act. Ww. 'm staggered. think the "" album had a lt t d with that. When that was ut, was nticing peple cming up t me and saying, "My kids are ging crazy ver the '' album." And yu were getting the 7- year -lds! listened t it -we gt it ready befre we put it ut but that was fr the business things -and the wrd came up with was "structure." t seemed t be well - structured. There didn't seem t be anything n the recrd that shuldn't be there. Kids can see that same structure in it that adults d and the kids wh riginally bught the recrds felt. But it's amazing. Did yu pay a lt f attentin t the remastering prcess? We d the apprving and the ther guys d the real hard wrk. We needed a very gd team t help with "Anthlgy" and Cirque du Sleil and nw fr "Rck Band." S they d the wrk and then Ring [Starr] and g in and listen t the dems and usually g, "Ww, this is amazing." [n this case] that's what it sunded like in the rm. That's what's nice abut it. t's nt smarter r mre sphisticated -it's just mre real. t's mre true t the nise we were actually making. can listen t thse recrds and see Jhn [Lennn] right there. Yu mentined Cirque and "Rck Band," and there was als the mvie "Acrss the Universe." Have yu decided t d mre f these prjects? t's nt us deciding s much as ther peple. Cirque du Sleil came t Gerge [Harrisn] and said, "We shuld d smething," and Gerge came t us. Then the guys came up with the "Rck Band" thing and [said it wuld make a great game] and we said, "Prve it t us." And ver a series f meetings and apprval sessins, they did. And we wuld say, "That's nt hw walk, dn't play like that, that's nt hw hld the guitar, Jhn desn't stand like that." think the fact that we were wrking s clsely with them gave them a bit f a charge. The nes that lk interesting, we say, "Can yu prve t us that yu can d it?" And think that's gd fr them, t. What d yu lk fr? think it's just class. Cirque du Sleil, yu're nt ging t get a mre interesting grup t put n a shw in Las Vegas. We culdn't d the Celine Din thing. And Cirque du Sleil culdn't play [the shw, even thugh] they have their wn band. That was the discussin: "Are yu ging t have yur wn band playing the Beatles sngs?" That wn't satisfy peple. "Are yu ging t just play the Beatles recrds?" That wn't satisfy peple. happened t have been very excited abut this Elvis Presley remix [the versin f "A Little Less Cnversatin" remixed by Junkie XL] that went t N.. lved that because it was Elvis but with a mdern backing. S was half lking fr an excuse in my wn mind t see if we culd d anything like that with the Beatles. Then Cirque came alng and we said, "This is it -and we can even g further nw." S we gt Gerge and Giles [Martin] in and said, "G crazy." What abut "Rck Band "? s it weird having yur music ut there fr peple t interact with? think it's great. t's just the mdern wrld and yu either embrace it r yu dn't. 'm happy t embrace gd new ideas -it keeps things exciting. f kids -r anyne -want t play a videgame and smene like [ "Rck Band" publisher] Harmnix wants t put tgether a great Beatles prject, then it makes sense t me. This is the same kind f thing [as the " "] album. 'm sure the kids dn't care -and dn't care -hw they hear the music. T hear it is the fun. t's very gd quality -Giles Martin has been ding all the wrk, s think it's ging t be an interesting phenmenn that will make anther Beatles thing happen. A "Rck Band" develpment executive tld me a great stry abut hw yu crrected the backgrund f the Cavern Club. He said yu have a fantastic memry. Fr certain things. culdn't tell yu what had fr breakfast last week. But fr thse kind f things, yes. have t ask: Have yu played the game? [Laughs] The guys wh demnstrate it are s gd that 've gt t play it n my wn privately r they will just wipe the flr with me. 'm ging t practice it and then challenge them. But was n the riginal recrds - dn't have t qualify. One aspect f the mdern wrld the Beatles haven't embraced is itunes. Have yu thught abut it? Or d yu think that nt having yur music available there has helped yu? That riginally was mentined a number f years ag and we all srt f said we'd lk at it. But there was a lgjam with the peple wh tk ver EM -there were sme aspects f the whle thing that they became nervus abut. S we're just waiting. Meantime, as yu say, it's kind f interesting, because virtually the same kind f thing is ging t happen with "Rck Band " -yu're ging t be able t dwnlad albums frm that. We bypassed the lgjam -nt really intentinally. But ne day think that it's natural that it will be n itunes. 'THE KDS DON'T CARE -AND DON'T CARE -HOW THEY HEAR THE MUSC.

20 BLLBOARD SEPTEMBER ALBUM REMASTERS -HERE, THERE AND EVERYWHERE EXCEPT (TUNES SHOP ANDTH VOLVER "- ABOUT THEM COULD A BAND that brke up in 970 really becme the best- selling act f the decade? The Beatles might just pull it ff, thanks t EM Music's Sept. 9 release f their remastered catalg. Eminem currently reigns as the best- selling artist f the decade, with sales f millin albums in the United States, accrding t Nielsen SundScan, fllwed by the Fab Fur with 8. millin. The Eminem catalg is sure t pick up mre sales by year's end, thanks in part t the cntinued strng perfrmance f his May release "Relapse," which falls six ntches t N. 8 n this week's Billbard 00 and has sld. millin cpies, accrding t SundScan. Beynd the fan excitement generated by the first remastering f the entire Beatles catalg in mre than 0 years, sales will als benefit frm the massive marketing push behind MTV Netwrks' videgame "The Beatles: Rck Band," which will be released n the same date. Surces say the game is backed by a $0 millin -$ millin advertising campaign, which includes the value f advertising n TV netwrks wned by MTV parent Viacm. That will prvide cnsumers with a timely refresher curse n their favrite Beatles sngs -and perhaps prmpt many f them t pick up a newly minted remaster. EM is banking n the legendary band t be a strng seller thrugh the year -end hlidays. The label is shipping millin cpies wrldwide n street date, including.9 millin in the United States. The catalg relaunch will als get its wn $ millin -$ millin TV advertising campaign, which will include spts n key cable netwrks like ESPN, TNT, TBS, TV Land, USA Netwrk and MSNBC. Surces say that the primary spend will be at MTV's fellw Viacm sibling Nickelden as part f an effrt t turn the netwrk's yung, game -playing audience int Beatles fans. And just in time fr the start f the hliday shpping seasn, surces say ABC is planning t air a tw -hur prime - time special n Thanksgiving night that will feature Beatles ftage and cntemprary artists perfrming Beatles sngs. SundScan sales tallies f the remastered Beatles albums culd be diluted smewhat by a bxed set that includes all f the remastered titles in stere and a cllectible mnphnic bxed set f the Beatles albums riginally released in mn. Accrding t surces, EM is shipping wrldwide abut 0,000 cpies f the stere bxed set and 0,000-0,000 cpies f the mn set. Each U.S. sale f either multidisc set will cunt as nly ne SundScan sale, hwever, which culd deflate ttal unit sales. Even thugh EM has ramped up prductin f bth bxed sets, cnsumers may find them tugh t find initially. Amazn, which tk prerders n bth versins, says it's sld ut based n its initial allcatins but is encuraging custmers t cntinue prerdering the sets, prmising t let them knw when mre are available.

21 COMMERCAL POTENTAL Sny /ATV Execs Explain Hw They Pick Fab Fur Synch Deals n 987, the use f the Beatles' "Revlutin" in a Nike TV ad sparked a furr ver the cmmercial use f the icnic sng. Tday, synch deals invlving famus cmpsitins are s cmmn that the use f Led Zeppelin's "Rck and Rll" in a Cadillac cmmercial barely seems shcking. Sny /ATV Music Publishing, which wns mst f the Beatles sng catalg, still faces the same kinds f chices abut deciding what placements are apprpriate fr sme f the mst revered sngs f all time. n an interview, Sny /ATV senir VP f film and TV Rn Britman, wh handles synchs fr screens big and small, and senir VP f glbal marketing Rb Kaplan, wh versees TV ad synchs, explain the thinking behind the deals they make, as well as the nes they turn dwn. Hw d yu reach synch licensing deals fr Beatles cmpsitins? D Paul Mc- Cartney and the Jhn Lennn estate have any say in the prcess? Rb Kaplan: Fr the cpyrights we cntrl, ultimately we have the final say. As a curtesy, we d reach ut t the Lennn -McCartney attrneys and let them knw what is ging n. That is just fr the publishing. n terms f the master recrdings, the Beatles and Apple Crps ultimately have the final say, which is why yu see a lt f Beatles synchs which invlve rerecrds. Rn Britman: t is imprtant t nte frm a publishing standpint that we d have a cmmittee t evaluate each f these uses and we srt f build the facts tgether and filter it up t [Sny/ATV chairman /CEO] Marty Sandier. There are a number f us that wrk tgether t make sure it's the right use. Kaplan: This is the crwn jewel f ur catalg and we are extremely prtective. Are there any sacred cws -sngs that yu wuld never apprve fr a synch deal? Kaplan: As lng as the prduct r -and Rn can speak t this -TV r film uses are tasteful and use the sng in a respectful way, think we are pen t all pprtunities. Britman: We definitely lk at certain key sngs that have a certain cultural significance and treat thse a little differently. But we als like it when music supervisrs r film and TV music execs actually shw that they are fans and latch nt a sng that wuldn't be such an bvius chice. Even lesser -knwn cmpsitins still retain the significance f a Lennn - McCartney sng. Hw did yu cnsider whether t use the Beatles' "All Yu Need s Lve" fr the All Yu Need s Luvs diaper campaign? Kaplan: "All Yu Need s Lve" is ne f the mst belved sngs ever. There is nthing any- ne can d t diminish its legacy. Sme peple fund synchrnizing the track with a diapers cmmercial t be quite sweet because it featured babies and appealed t yung par- ents. There have been many synchrnized uses f the track bth prir t and since the Luvs cmmercial ran. Everyne wh licenses "All Yu Need s Lve" finds a different and exciting way t interpret the sng's meaning. D mst Beatles synch deals cme frm sngs yu've shpped r requests yu've received? Kaplan: [We] are incredibly practive in letting the entire branding, entertainment and gaming cmmunities knw that ur cpyrights are available fr apprpriate uses. Our clients are als great music fans. Britman: t's literally a daily ccurrence that we bth get apprached by varius peple and we are putting it ut there fr certain prjects, and it's nly intensified with recent activities. What kind f synch rates d the Beatles cmmand cmpared t bands like Led Zeppelin r the Rlling Stnes? Britman: These are sngs that generatins f peple lve and as such they cmmand tp dllar. Kaplan: The price f the synch depends n the use. All the activity surrunding "The Beatles: Rck Band" and the rereleases has intensified Beatles interest. What plans are aft t capitalize n all the current Beatles activities? Kaplan: We wrked clsely with "Rck Band" t ensure they have the necessary rights t create the amazing advertising annuncing the game. Britman: This catalg allws us t maybe lk at things in a bigger cnceptual kind f way where we can have a number f sngs as the sundtrack fr a prject. We are ding that as well with certain film and TV pssibilities where these sngs really becme a character in a prject. Kaplan: Many f ur advertising clients have created brilliant new versins f classic Lennn- McCartney sngs. OK Gó s versin f "Anytime at All," prduced fr a Chase bank spt, was unique, as were many f the versins f "Hell, Gdbye" created fr the varius Tar- get ads. -EC Nne f the Beatles reissues will feature previusly unreleased tracks, althugh in an apparent nd t the need fr bnus material, mini -dcumentaries n each Beatles album will be included in early cpies f individual reissue titles and in the stere bxed set. t isn't clear whether imprved sund will be much f a draw fr yung music fans, many f whm listen t music thrugh MP players and cmputer speakers. "Althugh the sund is different, the sngs are the same, s dubt the kids f tday will give a ht abut the remasters, unless the 'Rck Band' game has a psitive influence," says Chuck Thatcher, VP f retail at Music City, the Nashville - based parent f the seven -stre Cat's Music chain. " hpe the label wrks the radi statins fr airplay f the remasters. That culd have an impact n the yunger generatins." n additin, sme retailers and industry executives questin the wisdm f releasing the new Beatles reissues all at nce, expressing cncern that the simultaneus release f s many titles culd dilute sales fr certain individual albums. n the late '80s when EM finally released the entire Beatles catalg n CD, the label staggered the albums' arrival, putting ut at mst nly a few titles at a time and, in the minds f sme industry bservers, helping extend cnsumer demand beynd just perennial tp sellers like "Abbey Rad" r "Sgt. Pepper's Lnely Hearts Club Band." " am mre f a fan f the staggered release because fans dn't have unlimited wallets and t g buy CDs in a single scp is expensive," says Carl Mell, head f purchasing at Newbury Cmics. "Als, with the staggered release, yu are giving fans a reasn and a date t cme back int the stres." At the same time, a senir distributin executive pints ut that by releasing all f the Beatles' titles at the same time, EM can get mre bang fr its advertising dllars by amrtizing the expense ver a larger revenue base. Furthermre, the simultaneus release f all f the titles in cnjunctin with that f "The Beatles: Rck Band" -and its multimillin - dllar ad campaign -has already created a full- fledged media event that's als generated an additinal wave f free publicity. CHRSTMAS GREETNGS FROM THE BEATLES Brick -and -mrtar merchants are viewing the Fabs' catalg relaunch as an early Christmas gift that will help push cnsumers int their stres t buy CDs. That's because the Beatles are amng a small number f majr acts that still dn't make any f their albums available as digital dwnlads. While Apple and EM have discussed releasing the Beatles thrugh itunes, EM desn't have any immediate plans t sell the Beatles' music digitally, surces say, despite speculatin that a deal might be annunced Sept. 9, when press - savvy Apple has scheduled a press cnference t make an ipd -related annuncement. But the band has dne quite well sales -wise withut embracing dwnlads. Despite its absence frm itunes, nw the tp U.S. music retailer, the Beatles' 000 hits cllectin "" is the best- selling album f the decade, while the Cirque du Sleil- related "Lve" album has sld nearly millin cpies and certain individual catalg titles like "Rubber Sul" and "The Beatles" (The White Album) have sld mre than millin each since the start f the new millennium, accrding t SundScan. Anther factr fueling the Beatles' rise during this decade culd be the burgening strength f catalg sales, which have grwn frm.% f ttal album sales in 000 t.8% in 008. S far this year, catalg sales accunt fr.% f verall album sales. The Beatles are als the secnd -best -selling act f the Sund - Scan era in the United States, with album sales f nearly 8 millin cpies since SundScan s launch in May 99. Cuntry star Garth Brks is N., with sales f 9. millin. Like the Beatles, Brks desn't make any f his albums available fr purchase as dwnlads. Cincidence? Sme market watchers believe the ability t buy individual tracks cannibalizes album sales. While that may be true t sme extent, mst executives dn't believe it explains the sales superirity f the Beatles r Brks, which can each cunt n the lyalty f huge fan bases. "One culd even argue hw much bigger they wuld be if they were available digitally, particularly nw, with itunes accunting fr % f the U.S. market," says ne distributin executive, wh als made an bservatin eched by ther executives. "The fact that they are N. fr this decade," he says, "is due t the pwer f the Beatles." SEPTEMBER, 009

22 GAMES BEATLES PLAY HOW THE FAB FOUR FNALLY WENT DGTAL -THANKS TO MTV'S `ROCK BAND' PAUL DEGOOYER S TRED -fr gd reasn. t's abut tw weeks befre the release f MTV's "The Beatles: Rck Band," and DeGyer, senir VP f electrnic games and music fr MTV Netwrks Music Grup, has been traveling t New Yrk, Bstn, Ls Angeles and Lndn since 007 t wrk n the prject. He's cnducted delicate negtiatins with surviving Beatles Paul McCartney and Ring Starr, alng with Yk On Lennn and Olivia Harrisn; hammered ut essential licensing deals with executives at Sny /ATV and EM Music, which treat the Beatles catalg with almst reverent care, and verseen the develpment f new technlgies t meet the high expectatins f all invlved. "t's been a bit f a blur," he says, the fatigue bvius in his vice as he speaks frm his New Yrk ffice. T all invlved -MTV, its game develpment subsidiary Harmnix, EM, Sny /ATV, the remaining band members and the families f all -the end result f all this time, effrt and frustratin is much mre than just a videgame. t's the latest cntributin t the hallwed cannn f what many cnsider t be the wrld's greatest band. "t's really abut a new way t play with the Beatles' music than it is a new 'Rck Band' game," DeGyer says with quiet humility. "f we did ur jbs right, it is an authentic piece f the Beatles' catalg f wrk, and that sunds kind f crazy because it's a videgame." This pint became crystal clear t DeGyer when, after first pitching the cncept t the band and surviving family members tw years ag, they insisted n including music frm every stage f the Beatles' career -smething that wasn't as easy as it sunds, given the primitive way the band recrded its early wrk. On "Taxman," fr example, the drums and guitar were recrded n the same track. But "Rck Band" needs t devte a separate audi track t each instrument, s MTV had t figure ut hw t split thse tracks int separate files in rder t include the earlier sngs in the game. Failure wuld mean lsing the band's blessing -and thus the prject. Thankfully, MTV and Harmnix were able t enlist the help f Giles Martin, sn f Beatles prducer Gerge Martin, wh had access t the Beatles' master recrdings and had just catalged them while wrking n the Grammy Award -winning "Lve" prject fr Cirque du Sleil. He develped a filtering methd that split these instruments int separate tracks. With that hurdle passed, MTV culd have just plwed frward with the simple act f licensing. nstead the team brught in Martin Randier and Peter Brdsky, Sny / ATV's CEO and executive VP f business and legal affairs, respectively; and Cynthia Sextn, executive VP f glbal brand partnerships at EM, int the planning and develpment prcess alng with the Apple Crps sharehlders. "While it was critical t wrk with Apple and the Beatles, we didn't want t take fr granted the ther rights hlders wuld g alng with them," DeGyer says. "They all needed t understand exactly what we were ding and have input. When yu have that many rights hlders invlved in a catalg, it's nt bvius that their interests align at all pints." The results f this prcess are evident in the game. n additin t the sngs frm the band's catalg -mre frm ne act than any ther music -based game yet released -the title brings a level f detail nt yet seen in a music -based game. Each band member is animated in striking detail, dwn t the way their eyes and hair mve while playing. Scenes f the Beatles' perfrmances in Liverpl's Cavern Club and New Yrk's Shea Stadium include the actual crwd nise frm each venue. The game's re- creatin f the Beatles recrding in Abbey Rad's famed Studi includes never -befre -heard banter amng the band as it recrded its later wrk. Trivia abut the act is included as unlckable bnus material, alng with previusly unreleased phts, audi and vide. Perhaps mst remarkably, the Beatles will allw fans t buy at least a prtin f their music in digital frm as extra dwnladable cntent fr the game, starting with "Abbey Rad" Oct. 0 and fllwed by "Sgt. Pepper's Lnely Hearts Club Band" and "Rubber Sul" in Nvember and December, respectively. "Everyne realized ding this game was really a significant event in bringing the Beatles int the st century," Sny /ATV's Bandier says. "This is an enrmus pprtunity, because fr a mment in time, it will be the nly legitimate place where yu can get the music in a digital frm." Game n!

23 BEATLES.0 `REVOLUTON' Legacy aside, the Beatles hpe the game will generate prfits fr them as well. And the band will make mney n the music included in the game, but als n likeness and fr the dwn - ladable music being made available later. The many versins f the game include a $0 deluxe editin with plastic signed replicas f McCartney's Hfner bass guitar and Starr's Ludwig drums (Gerge Harrisn's Gretsch Du Jet and Jhn Lennn's Rickenbacker will be sld separately fr $00 each). That's $90 mre than the $0 "value" package that includes basic "Rck Band" instruments. There's als a $0 disc -nly versin fr cnsumers wh have existing "Rck Band" r "Guitar Her" instruments. Sales expectatins are high. Wedbush Mrgan Securities videgame analyst Michael Pachter estimates the game will sell millin cpies by year's end, with the disc -nly versin mving. millin and the deluxe and standard versins selling. millin between them. Fr the Beatles, the biggest upside cmes frm the sales f the deluxe versin. MTV wn't make much mney n that package, but the cmpany enjys healthy margins n the disc - nly versin, as well as dwnladable cntent. There isn't a shrtage f speculatin abut hw much MTV paid fr the rights t the Beatles catalg, but surces say the design and mtin -capture wrk was just as expensive as the licensing csts in the eight -figure budget. Withut directly addressing the game's csts, MTV's De- Gyer says the deal is structured s bth parties stand t prfit. "The deal was carefully cnstructed as a partnership with the Beatles and Apple Crps," he says, "and that's brne ut in bth the creative f the game as well as the business deal behind it." MTV hpes the game will drive subsequent sales f dwn - ladable Beatles cntent and cnvert Beatles buyers t the "Rck Band" franchise. Beatles cntent wn't be available fr existing versins f "Rck Band," nr will "Rck Band" music be playable n the Beatles game. But the plastic instruments that cme with the Beatles game will wrk with ther versins f "Rck Band," which custmers can buy as a disc. Each dwnladable Beatles album will cst $7, with individual sngs ging fr $. MTV typically keeps abut 70% f the price f dwnladable cntent purchased thrugh "Rck Band." Althugh the Beatles are believed t have received a better deal, this is still a very prfitable business. The entire music -game categry has suffered a % decline in year- ver -year revenue thrugh July f this year, accrding t the NPD Grup, causing sme t questin whether music games are just a passing fad. But much f this decline is due t sales migrating frm expensive first -time hardware purchases t sftware sales that cnsist fnew music either in the frm f dwnladable cntent r expansin discs. And NPD's figures dn't include the revenue made frm dwnladable cntent. `GOT TO GET YOU NTO MY LFE' The future f music games depends n attracting newcmers, which is why the Beatles game is s imprtant t MTV. "t has t be fr lder peple," Wedbush Mrgans Pachter says. "They're sitting arund waiting fr smething t cme alng that appeals t them. S they're 0- smething peple that have lked at 'Guitar Her' but are nt sure why they want t learn Aersmith r Metallica sngs. They see this and think, ' can get int this.' " The game's develpers went t great lengths t appeal t this demgraphic by remving many f the "game" elements frm the Beatles title. While "Rck Band" has players earning pints fr accuracy and being rewarded with virtual mney t spend n such band essentials as a van r instruments, the Beatles game is fully experiential. There's n "gal" r "bss" r even pints. Yu just play. The Beatles music shuld attract new gamers, and the way the band used the title t tell its stry culd als inspire thers artists t get creative in this new medium. Frm their frmatin in 99 t their 970 breakup, the Beatles always experimented with whatever medium was driving rck music at the time. Their rise t fame was driven by cncerts, their greatest success came frm studi albums. And nw, despite having skipped digital dwnlading, the Fab Fur stand pised t master yet anther frmat -interactive media. " lk at the musical landscape and say, 'There's the Beatles and everybdy else,' " Bandier says. " dn't think yu can find anther artist that yu can use a chrnlgy f their life and events in the same way." Even s, the Beatles will almst certainly inspire ther bands t take the plunge int the wrld f gaming. Pearl Jam plans t release its new album as dwnladable "Rck Band" cntent the same day it arrives in stres. And the new Rck Band Netwrk allws any band t create and sell music as it likes thrugh MTV's system. "t wuld be great if peple lk at this a year frm nw and say, ' want t play my favrite sng in this frmat,' " De- Gyer says. "And chances are, a lt f peple's favrite sngs will be n the 'Rck Band' platfrm." The Beatles have game: 'The Beatles: Rck Band' instruments (left); abve scenes frm the game. RETALERS CAPTALZE ON BEATLES MERCH TMED TO RESSUES BABY YOU'RE A RCH BAND Music fans wh have empty shelf space next t their Beatles CDs wn't fr much lnger. n cnjunctin with the Sept. 9 release f the Beatles remasters and the band's "Rck Band" game, retailers are stcking up n new Beatles merchandise. Fans can nw create veritable Beatles altars that include a special Beatles editin f Trivial Pursuit, new apparel, guitar straps, jurnals, address bks, key chains -even a baby strller. "[Sept. 9] is ging t be a huge day, n dubt abut it, and lead t a huge few weeks f sales," says Steve Glasenk, VP f licensing at Live Natin Merchandise, the exclusive licensing agent fr the Beatles in Nrth America. "But the sales n all f that -be it the videgame, remastered CDs r merchandise - is ging t carry thrugh" int the furth quarter. Live Natin -which als manages the grup's Nrth American nline stre at Beatles.cm -wrks clsely with Lndn -based Apple Crps t develp new prducts. "We will slicit ideas and interests frm varius peple, then g t [Apple Crps] fr apprval f the prduct categry and cmpany invlved," says Live Natin Merchandise executive VP f retail and licensing wrldwide Michael Krassner. "The Beatles prgram is nly cnstrained by their idea t have quality prduct." Fans may have access t thusands f different Beatles items, but Apple Crps is strict abut apprving new prducts. "Apple wn't d certain prduct categries," Krassner says. "We wuldn't even try t get alchl r cigarettes, fr example." Here's hw several majr retailers are taking advantage f Beatlemania: BORDERS On Sept. 9, Brders' 00 -plus Nrth American stres will feature a frnt -f -stre Beatles merch setup that includes everything frm the albums and videgame t puzzles and calendars. "Yu will nt miss it if yu walk int a Brders," says Jdi Jacksn, the chain's license trend gift buyer. Stres will carry mre than 0 Beatles items ( f which are exclusive) -the largest number f items fr a musical act in the chain's histry. Brders is prmting the albums and merch in stre signage and its weekly e -mail blast t 0 millin peple. As an incentive, custmers wh purchase tw remastered Beatles albums will have the ptin t buy an album -sized "Abbey Rad" tin fr a reduced price f $7.99 (the riginal csts $9.99). The campaign runs thrugh September and will pick up again during the year -end hlidays. "Since [Beatles music isn't yet] available n itunes, this is the cre demgraphic that will buy CDs," Jacksn says. "S since we already had the custmer in the stre, we thught it wuld be a great idea." RESTORATON HARDWARE The hme furnishing chain Restratin Hardware als will have a dedicated area fr Beatles prducts in its Nrth American stres during the furth quarter, accrding t Live Natin's Glasenk.

24 THE BEATLES' ALBUMS ARE CONSDERED NATONAL TREASURES -SO REMASTERNG THEM REQURES SOME NTERESTNG DECSONS BY PAUL SEXTON REPAVNG `ABBEY ROA D Any appintment at Abbey Rad still invlves walking ver the mst famus pedestrian crssing in ppular music. And the histry f the nrth Lndn studi hangs heavy in the air when the meeting is with the engineers wh have just finished digitally remastering all the riginal Beatles albums, frm "Please Please Me" thrugh "Abbey Rad." Brrwinga phrase frm ne f thse engineers, prject crdinatr Allan Ruse says wryly that his seven -member team has spent the last fur -and -a -half years "fiddling with the crwn jewels," a phrase that culd induce alarm in audiphiles. But Ruse and his clleagues have years f experience with the Beatles masters amng them, and they apprached the mst famus minutes in recrded -music histry with meticulus respect. Ruse, wh jined EM straight frm schl in 97, began his career wrking with Beatles engineer Nrman "Hurricane" Smith. Recrding engineers Guy Massey and Paul Hicks wrked n the 99 "Anthlgy" DVD set, while Ruse and thers versaw the. surrund sund and stere mixes f the 999 "Yellw Submarine" reissue. Even s, they knew that ne intrusive piece f snic tweaking culd infuriate hrdes f fans -many f whm have a relatinship with Beatles albums that brders n the bsessive. "There were seven f us invlved, s as nt t put this huge amunt f pressure n the shulders f ne individual," Ruse says candidly. Sean Magee, wh wrked with Hicks n the mn versins f the remasters, adds, "Yu have t switch int wrk mde. Yu basically d it as yu wuld any remastering jb, with due reverence t what went befre." Ruse passinately defends the decisin t g back t master tapes that were last reissued in 987. "There was nthing really that wrng with the '87 [releases]," he says. n sme ways, hwever, they're n lnger up t tday's standards. "t's a lng verdue verhaul. The minute the CD gt invented, everybdy thught it was adequate t get the master tape ut and put it nt CD. Remastering was smething that happened maybe a decade r s later." Many f the changes Ruse and his team did make are less the result f creative fiddling than superir equipment. "Tday equipment exists that didn't exist then t [handle] sme f the things we decided we wanted t tackle," he says. "With a tiny bit f help here and there, they're greatly imprved." Mst f thse imprvements are subtle, and the engineers chse nt t apply the dynamic cmpressin fund n sme recent remasters. "Our tweaking, in terms f EQ, is quite sub- BLLBOARD SEPTEMBER, 009 tle," he says. "There's upwards f 0 tracks, within the stere [remasters], where we haven't dne anything. There's a large number abve that where it's very small amunts f EQ. Maybe yu're trying t help the drums, [ fr instance, if] Ring [Starr's] snare isn't cracking thrugh." Ruse says the team tweaked a small number f "bad edits, drputs and, mre imprtantly, sibilance, micrphne pps and electrical clicks." Sme prbably went unnticed. One that casual listeners might have heard was the "pp" in Jhn Lennn's vcal n "'m a Lser," nw crrected. "We'd already agreed that if we thught [a "mistake"] was in any way cnnected with the perfrmance, we weren't ging t tuch it," he says. "Breaths, Ring's squeaky bass drum pedal, the squeaky chair at the end f 'A Day in the Life,' cughs, [Lennn's] 'fuck' in the middle f 'f Hey Jude'-all f these little things were ging t remain." First, Massey listened t each track up t three times and made a list f what needed t be tweaked n each album. Then audi restratin engineer Simn Gibsn made the necessary change, "s that it didn't affect the integrity f the recrding." Ruse and Magee played Billbard sme "befre and after" cmparisns f hw the new masters sund cmpared with their 987 equivalents. And frm the harmny vcals in "Hey Bulldg" and "Gdnight" t the backward cymbal in "While My Guitar Gently Weeps," many sunds are crisper and mre vital. Of curse, many listeners will hear these new albums nt n the high -end speakers at Abbey Rad but n car radis r -wrse yet frm a snic perspective- ripped MPs. "The way peple listen nw is n equipment that quite frankly is inferir," Ruse says. " dn't think anybdy in this building r any ther studi in the wrld ever changed their attitude abut trying t prvide the best pssible sund, but nbdy's hearing it. t's a crying shame. dn't really knw hw yu can change that apart frm educating peple that what they're hearing is nly part f what's there." f and when the Beatles catalg cmes t itunes, Ruse says, the team culd decide t make further tweaks. "We haven't lked int it, but let's say fr instance yu had t create a slightly different EQ'd master t make it acceptable fr this methd f playback," he says. "S it ges up n itunes and yu can put it n yur ipd r whatever and it sunds better.

He says he felt pressured t tp the success f his intrductry single, "Day N Nite," which peaked at N. n the Billbard Ht 00 -and the expectatins weren't helped by reprts f a beef with fellw rapper and labelmate Cnsequence. But times have changed. On the eve f the release f his debut album, "Man n the Mn: The End f Day," due Sept. n G.O.O.D. /Universal Mtwn, Cudi, brn Sctt Mescudi in Cleveland, has made peace with his situatin by putting his frustratins dwn n vinyl. "Early n, befre even had a deal, befre shit was pppin' fr me felt sme pressure," Cudi says. "But after peple started respnding t my mixtape, it made me mre cnfident.

Fans really helped me pen up a lt mre than thught -they are wh really gave me the cnfidence t d what d. culd've just made anther 'Day N Nite,' but they gave me the cnfidence t tell my stry instead." With the help f prducers Plain Pat, Ratatat, Kanye West and Emile and cllabratrs like Ratatat, West, Cmmn, Chip the Ripper, Billy Cravens and MG MT, Cudi takes his listeners thrugh a dark, ambitius, self - reflective -track set -brken dwn by acts and narrated as dreams and nightmares -revealing his deepest fears, hpes and dreams. " really wanted creative recrds. knew what was lking fr when listen t beats. knew what needed and hw many tracks needed just like that," Cudi says f the "nice cllectin f new- sunding shit," as he refers t the album. " went ff instinct a lt, which made it easier fr me t put tgether. This album wasn't hard at all." The best examples f his strytelling ability cme curtesy f tracks like "Heart f a Lin (Kid Cudi Theme Music)," which finds Cudi rhyming, "At the end f the day, my mmma tld me/'dn't let n ne break me,' " ver drums and synthesizers; "Cudi Zne," n which he raps, "When 'm zned, 'm feeling all right / frget abut it all," ver vilin strings; and "Pursuit f Happi- ya '.- ` went ff instinct a. ltthis album wasn't, hard at all.' -KD CUD ness," with lyrics like "'m in pursuit f happiness /'ll be fine nce get it /'ll be gd," atp electric guitar riffs. "Pursuit" is slated t be the third single ff the album. Other standut tracks include the pian- and drum - laden "Enter Galactic," the bass -heavy "Sky Might Fall," the anxius "Sl Dl," the thughtful "Sundtrack My Life" and the secnd single "Make Her Say," which reached N. n the Ht 00. Cudi recently wrapped the Great Hangver tur with Asher Rth and is slated t start filming the HBO shw "Hw t Make t in America," executive- prduced by Mark Wahlberg ( "Enturage"). Additinally, Cudi is set t hst a listening at the Bape Stre with designer Nig (Bathing Ape) during fashin week this fall; a cllabrative shirt design is in the wrks. Online, accrding t Universal Mtwn Recrds Grup senir directr f marketing Bill Zarr, Cudi recently unveiled the artwrk -which he persnally sketched -and the track list t the album n his Twitter page.

Yet with fame cmes nt nly drama, as Cudi says, but cmparisns. S far, "Man n the Mn" has been cmpared t West's "808s and Heartbreak," while Cudi has been likened t West and anther newcmer and labelmate, Drake. But Cudi takes the assessments in stride, calling them "a cmpliment." He says, "T be in the same categry with great peple f great talent is amazing. But, my missin statement is t change things and make shit better. want t make music that inspires mtherflickers t feel like they are me, that they can d what they want if they believe in themselves. dn't knw anther artist that makes music with that type f mtivatin."

During her -year career, the pera spran has accrued all the trappings and tributes f internatinal prima dnna -dm. Designers like Jhn Gallian, Karl Lagerfeld and Oscar De La Renta have dressed her in glittering custm threads fr her gala perfrmances. Heads f state have cmmissined her perfrmances, including President Barack Obama, at his January inauguratin celebratin. She's the face f Rlex in select print campaigns. She has inspired and named a perfume (Cty's La Vce by Renée Fleming), a flwer (the Renée Fleming ris) and even a chclate dessert (Master Chef Daniel Bulud's La Diva Renée). But despite the glamur and adratin, in real life, Fleming is pen, real and decidedly un- diva -like. That very quality guides the plan t supprt her th sl album, "Verism" (Decca), ut Sept.. The cllectin explres the earthy Verism style, frm its mst knwn music and cmpsers ( "La Bheme," Puccini) t thse mre bscure (Len - cavall, Catalani). "t's becme very clear t me, with experience, that singers wh have a pen - chant fr diva behavir just d, and thse f us wh dn't, dn't," Fleming says. "t's nt in my makeup; dn't have the time r energy t devte t that. 'm a pragmatist at heart, wrk very hard, and lve what d. That's where put all my diva energy." Since signing with Decca in 99, the Pennsylvania native has sung n mre than 0 releases, which have cllectively sld nearly 780,000 cpies, accrding t Nielsen SundScan. Her vice is ne f the mst sulful in pera histry and was famusly described by cnductr Gerg Slti as "duble cream." ts richness The spran: RENÉE FLEMNG and humanity has allwed her t explre ther genres -like jazz and flk n 00's "Haunted Heart" and the American theater sngbk n 00's "Under the Stars" (with baritne Bryan Terfel)- withut sunding like an ut -f -tuch pera singer. Her elegantly gritty take n Jni Mitchell's "River" helped win her yunger admirers, including "Harry Ptter" actr Daniel Radcliffe. ( "My daughters think he's a wnderful fan t have," she says.) Decca has high hpes fr "Verism." "t's purely classical material, but ppular and easily accessible," says Decca U.S. prduct manager Jseph Oerke. "And Renée is that rare classical artist that can and has been shwcased t a larger grup, thrugh TV appearances and press. That's part f the gal with any release, but especially with smething like this with her." The marketing plan -which, unlike a pp release, stretches as lng as mnths frm release day- cnsists f in -venue retail at all f Fleming's recital dates thrughut December and January, and as many direct audience tuch pints as pssible, including in -stre and pst -shw receptins and signings. "She's superb at interacting with fans, she's s gracius, and we definitely utilize that," Oerke says. "She's the best advertising fr her wn self." itunes users will get an exclusive bnus track, and Amazn will run a "listening party" prmtin, giving away a prerelease album track t "let peple test ut the repertire befre cm- mitting t buy it," Oerke says. At press time, "Verism" is N. n the Amazn classical chart frm pre- rders alne.

A physical run f 0,000-,000 cpies thrugh a pressing and distributin deal with EM /Carline will accmpany the digital release.

"Alex Cuba" shws his breadth as a musician and sngwriter, with tuches f Afrbeat, meditative lullabies and a track in English (the acustic disc track "f Yu Give Me Lve "). There's als "Caball," an uptemp jazz -funk blend; "Tierra Clra," a brisk psychedelic grve; and "En El Ciel," which sunds like a ska rhythm with clly rmantic salsa vcals. Fr his part, Cuba -wh picked up the bass when he was and grew up n the island fascinated by American acts like Michael Jacksn and Kl & the Gang -says it's been gratifying t see peple in the audience at his shws that are already familiar with his music. "t's been fun cming int my wn and seeing peple appreciate that." with STEVE WARNER Paying hmage t a legend can be a challenge, especially when it's a clse friend and mentr, but Steve Wariner rises t the ccasin n "Steve Wariner, c.g.p., My Tribute t Chet Atkins" (ut Oct. n SelecTne).

But Skaggs, wh plays mre than a dzen instruments and harmnizes with himself n this ne-man - band set, tucks int all f them with a jyful and unaplgetic reverence.

Such instrumentals as "Clnel Prentiss," "Pickin' in Carline" and "Callway" give Skaggs rm t shw ff his multitracked chps, while tracks like "Sinners, Yu Better Get Ready," "Green Pastures in the Sky" and "Gd Hlds the Future in His Hands" ffer case studies in hw spirituality was cmmunicated in rural Appalachia. -GG ROCK MARK KNOPFLER Get Lucky Prducers: varius Warner Brs.

There is nthing cntrived abut Nelly Furtad's Spanish -language debut, "Mi Plan." With simple, straightfrward sngs that appeal t meldic sensibilities rather than rhythmic cntraptins, the set is a mix f vulnerability and earnestness. On the album, Furtad teams up with several Latin artists, including Alejandr Fernández, Juan Luis Guerra, Julieta Venegas, La Mala Rdríguez and Cncha Buika, and classical crssver singer Jsh Grban. The uptemp first single, "Mans Al Aire," lends itself t dance clubs, but it desn't set the tne fr the album, which balances intimacy with cmmercial appeal. Even when Furtad dwells n the bvius - like the cumbia beat f "Vacación" r the banal imprvisatin f "Baj Otra Luz" -she des it with an appealing freshness that defies the frmulaic. Standuts include "Cm Lluvia" (featuring Guerra), with a chrus that switches frm majr t minr fr a haunting feel. But the biggest departure is "Silenci" (featuring Grban), with Furtad adapting t his dramatic, classical sund while still retaining her earthy vcals and rganic cadence. -LC debut, "Amplified." Sulful and rganic, with rts in jazz and funk, "Kamaal the Abstract" finds 0-Tip nt nly rhyming in his trademark nasal cadence, but als singing -and surprisingly well t bt.

On his first cuntry single in decades, the sle survivr f Sun Recrds extls the virtues f being a heartbreaker, family man and gd 'le friend. Written by fellw musical utlaw Kris Kristffersn, "Mean" is a quintessential rebel sng by the man famusly nicknamed "the Killer," as Lewis' Luisiana twang delivers such petry as, "f lk like a vd dll wh takes his lickin' standing tall /Wh'd rather fight yu back than crawl, that's what am" n a year that has seen the passing f s many music greats, it's wnderful t hear this particular ld man sunding as mean as ever. -RH Sun," cuntry star Kenny Chesney frges his usual fun - lving cwby demeanr fr a mre intrspective tne. Over a breezy, percussive shuffle, he sings, "All the dreams yu sat and watched g up in flames /Dwell n the wreckage as it smlders in the rain." Heavy stuff, but it ges dwn easy in the cntext f the sng's simple, inspiratinal message: "'m alive, and well." Thugh Dave Matthews jins Chesney fr the sng, it's hardly a traditinal duet, as their vices barely unite. But Chesney makes a strng emtinal cnnectin when he hands ff the secnd verse t Matthews, wh sings with a quiet strength that brings the message hme. "'m Alive" is an easy add fr cuntry radi with crssver adult cntemprary appeal. -CW SEPTEMBER, 009 ;

30 VLJS( HAPPEN POP BY JASON LPSHUTZ Wha! Teen Spirit Having fun: FOREVER THE SCKEST KDS Frever The Sickest Kids Nets Hasbr's Nerf Fall Campaign n a new natinal TV spt fr Hasbr's Nerfprducts, a grup f teenage bys tss fam ftballs, frm teams fr a dart-gun war and leap in slw - mtin ver a shwer f fam pellets. The sundtrack t this intense re- creatin is "Wha Oh! (Me vs. Everyne)," the carefree anthem frm the Dallas pp -punk band Frever the Sickest Kids. The act, which als appears in the spt perfrming the track, is hping t use the ad t expand its audience. "Hasbr was lking fr a certain type f band that culd have fun and be crazy, and they felt the sng was a gd fit fr their fall campaign," Kids lead vcalist Jnathan Ck says. The result f a pitch t Hasbr by Universal Mtwn's strategic marketing department, the Kids' appearance in the ad signals a savvy understanding f the grup's fan base. "Frever the Sickest Kids' demgraphic is ages -, and when yu lk at Nerf, that fits really well," says label prduct manager Lisa Linder, wh als cites psitive fan reactin t the ad n Twitter. Ck adds, "Hasbr was trying t reach an lder audience, we were trying t reach a yunger audi- ence, and we met in the middle." Since cming tgether at the end f 00, the six-piece band has shwcased its blend f pp meldies and heavy guitars thrugh cnstant turing, including appearances n the Vans Warped tur. Befre being heard in the Nerf ad, "Wha Oh!" was the first single ff "Underdg Alma Mater," the Kids' 008 debut n Universal Mtwn that peaked at N. n the Billbard 00. Fllwing the album's release, the Kids have searched fr unique pprtunities t appeal t fans. The band rerecrded "Wha Oh!" with pp singer Selena Gmez cntributing vcals and in June gave an imprmptu acustic perfrmance in New Yrk's Times Square. On July 7, "Underdg" was rereleased with 8 new audi tracks and a behind -the -scenes DVD that, accrding t Ck, "gives fans a better chance t get t knw us." The reissue psted a 7% sales increase the week f July, selling slightly mre than,000 cpies, accrding t Nielsen SundScan. But it hasn't re- entered the Billbard 00. The upcming release fthree "mini- albums," hwever, may be the band's mst ambitius prmtinal strategy yet. The "Weekend" albums, titled "Friday," "Saturday" and "Sunday," will be issued every five t six mnths, with "Friday" set fr a Nv. 7 release. Guitarist Marc Stewart thinks the frmat f the mini -albums, which will each feature eight sngs, will cnnect with the grup's target dem. "Mst fans have shrt attentin spans; an album f sngs wn't last tw years anymre," he says. "We'll see hw this ges. But think [the release frmat] is really ging t appeal t ur fans." Leading up t the "Friday" release, the band will be heard n the sundtrack t the Christina Milian film "Bring t On: Fight t the Finish." The act als plans t actively supprt the mini - albums n MySpace and Twitter. n cnjunctin with that, Ck, Stewart and fellw members Caleb Turman (guitar), Austin Bell (bass), Kent Garrisn (keybards) and Kyle Burns (drums) will embark n their first head- lining tur in Nrth America frm Oct. t Dec.. n cmparisn t this summer's Warped tur, Linder says the upcming Tac Bell -spnsred trek will "nt have as much utdr craziness, but the band is excited t have s much mre cntent t play." n the wake f their Nerf ad success, the Kids hpe t maintain a relatinship with Hasbr as well as explre different advertising pprtunities. Frtifying the band's cnnectin with its teenage fan base, Ck says, will be the key in any future brand partnerships. "Our fan base is yunger, and we want t d stuff that appeals directly t them, frm ur sngwriting t ur merchandising," he says. "We just want everything we d t be as relatable as pssible." `RUN' -AWAY SUCCESS Rihanna returns t Billbard's Mainstream Tp 0 radi airplay chart -alng with Jay -Z and Kanye West -as "Run This Twn" debuts at N. 8. f The singer has dminated the chart since her arrival fur years ag.

There was just ne qualifying rule: Each interview had t last exactly five minutes. On hand t certify the results was a Guinness representative. " dn't think peple realize hw lng five minutes really is," ngram says with a laugh. "n my shes, it was an eternity." That's because sme radi jcks fcused nly n the Guinness aspect and frgt t mentin the new album. "Once yu tell them abut the [Guinness recrd], there's nt much mre meat n that bne," ngram says. "After abut tw- and -a -half minutes, sme wuld say, 't's great t be a part f this,' and 'd say, 'N, n, hld n, dude. We have t fill tw- and -a -half mre minutes.' S 'd end up answering questins they didn't ask r give a lng answer abut my favrite sng n the album and why."

After the marathn ended, ngram perfrmed the album's current tp 0 cuntry single, "Bareft and Crazy," n Fx News' natinal mrning shw "Fx & Friends." Then the singer flew t Dallas fr a shw that night. "'m nt a great singer t begin with," says the self -deprecating ngram. "S after talking fr hurs and nt getting much sleep, was cncerned 'd sund like crap. Luckily my vice held ut. t didn't sund any wrse than it nrmally des.". FNDNG `LOVE' ON THE RADO Several weeks ag as Michael Franti was ntching his first Billbard Ht 00 single in a tw - decade -plus career, he fund himself in surgery with a ruptured appendix. "The dctr is saying, 't's a lt mre serius than we expected but we'll d ur best t get all the infectin,' " Franti recalls frm the New Yrk set f Jimmy Falln's late -night TV shw. "And 'm thinking, 'Great, have a hit sng after all these years and 'll never hear it n the radi.' " Thankfully, Franti survived.

"This strategic alliance just adds mre peple and resurces t the mix. Michael is an exceptinal artist and this sng is my favrite kind f recrd: ne yu can't categrize ther than using the wrd 'hit.' " The single's success is a huge surprise fr musician /activist Franti and Spearhead after years f pineering scial humanitarianism thrugh an intriguing fusin f genres, including hip -hp, funk, sul, reggae and flk. This time, thugh, Franti wanted t d smething different. "'ve made plitical music my whle life," he says. "But at the end f this prject, thught we needed a fun, singalng sng given the serius things happening in the wrld. And while can't wipe the smile ff my face abut the sng's success, it's just anther reminder fr me t just make music fr the lve f it." -Gail Mitchell LE GRAND DEBUT There's anther name t watch in the burgening hip- hp- infused dance mvement. Dutch DJ /prducer Fedde Le Grand will release his debut album, "Output" (Ultra Recrds), Sept. 9. His set fllws tw ne -ff singles that tk Le Grand up the charts and nt tastemaker radar. Last year's "Let Me Think Abut t" tpped Billbard's Dance Airplay chart fr six weeks. n the meantime, Madnna mashed up Le Grand's 007 club favrite, "Put Yur Hands Up fr Detrit," with her wn "Music" fr use n her Sticky & Sweet tur.

"He has a lve fr hip - hp, s thse things merging tgether give him a sund that's bigger than just the dance frmat." "Output" delivers n that crssver prmise, blending glbular synth sunds with classic American styles under a layer f prper nightclub sweat.

The vide fr the first single, "Scared f Me," featuring Mitch Crwn -falsett R &B by way f an aggressive synth attack -has attracted. millin YuTube views. Even the cuts that track back t dance succeed as smething else. With a vcal that desn't start until halfway thrugh, " Minutes t Explain" culd be pure undergrund club fdder.

Le Grand will tur U.S. nightclubs thrughut the fall and winter as a DJ. There aren't any current plans fr a live shw. " grew up having been fed s many different musical tastes and applied an pen mind t all the ["Output"] tracks," Le Grand says. `There is smething fr everyne: t certainly desn't deserve a dance -nly label." -Kern i Masn

Hwever, it desn't take a rcket scientist t figure ut that even withut annuncing a shift in release date, just the mere presence f a new Cyrus album in Wal- Mart- prminently placed next t her new budget- friendly tween clthing line -will generate healthy sales. And with back -t- schl shpping in full effect, ne can nly picture the scene during the weekend in Wal -Marts acrss America where little girls cnvinced their parents t buy them nt nly a new Cyrus T -shirt but her new EP t.
