Nw, with the FCC trying t address cncerns abut lcal bradcasting in the age f cnslidatin, Pwell has issued a ntice inviting public cmment n lcalism issues. The FCC is asking the public t submit written cmments n a hst f lcalism tpics, frm the main -studi rule -which maintains that a statin must have its main studi in the market t which it is licensed -t disaster cverage.

The inquiry is an additinal cmpnent f Pwell's Lcalism Task Frce effrt annunced last September - althugh the idea t hld field meetings t elicit public cmment n wnership and lcalism issues was initiated by his Demcratic clleagues.

D these practices cmply with the disclsure requirements f the [FCC] and ur spnsrship identificatin regulatins? Are the existing rules in any way deficient in addressing the current practices?

SundExchange will pay PPL fr all digital ryalties earned by artists represented by PPL and its partner scieties. SundExchange has similar arrangements with SENA in the Netherlands and RAAP in Ireland. Sim - sn says SundExchange has already started t receive payments under the SENA agreement, which will be distributed later this year t its members. PPL has reciprcal deals with scieties in such cuntries as Germany, Canada, Australia, France and Italy. SLOW GROWTH Nevrkla says he des nt expect a significant revenue stream frm the United States in the beginning, but his view is that "incme will clearly grw frm the U.S. We are just at the beginning. We are cnvinced freign revenue will becme a significant incme stream fr us." "Fran and I share the philsphy that freign ryalties shuld be paid t the rights wners," Simsn says. "We have a very prductive relatinship, and ur cmmn gal is t better serve ur members." Nevrkla agrees. "I like wrking with Jhn and his team. They are very pragmatic. They like t find slutins t prblems, and we like that. There's a gd mind -set. It is a very uncmplicated, friendly, dwn -t -earth business relatinship." Nevrkla and Simsn agree that these agreements are "a starting pint" in their relatinship. Bth executives insist their cllabratin shuld extend beynd simply cllecting and distributing ryalties.

8 nin I Editrials BPI ChiefApplauds Gvernment Awareness On IP Issues A U.K. Prgress Reprt / Cmmentary /Leiters Billbard Infrmatin Grup Executive Editr: KEN SCHLAGER What a difference a year makes. Last summer, when I laid dwn the agenda fr the British Phngraphic Industry, it seemed like we had a muntain t climb. The industry was bruised, and media pundits were preparing bituaries. We were using the wrd "transitin" rather than "decline," but the upturn seemed a lng way ff. But fr the BPI -and the recrded music industry that it represents -the past year has been a perid f remarkable prgress. And this prgress has been mst dramatic where it cunts: at the gvernment level. This time last year, we had n up -tdate cpyright regulatins that allwed us t create music in the Internet age. Tday, we have implemented bth a Eurpean Unin cpyright directive and an EU enfrcement directive. Just last week, U.K. secretary f state fr trade and industry Patricia Hewitt nt nly stated her belief in the imprtance f cpyright prtectin as the backbne fr all creative industries, but added that she supprted the recrding industry's "carrt- and -stick" apprach t Internet piracy. That is precisely hw the BPI had described its strategy March, when it launched its U.K. initiative t gvernment, media and the wider industry. The message is getting thrugh. But the greatest prgress f all in gvernment circles has been at the Department fr Culture, Media and Sprt, the ministry that champins music. This time last year, the DCMS was still issuing dcuments nting its invlvement in the creative industries with nary a mentin f music. But nw, under the inspired lead- ership f culture secretary Estelle Mrris, the DCMS is everywhere champining music. It has been instrumental in setting up the gvernment's new intellectual prperty frum, in which EMI Grup chairman Eric Nicli will represent the music industry. Because f the changing nature f ur business mdel and the differences in music cpyrights, it is vital t ur members that their psitin is crystal -clear in gvernment circles. MORE WORK TO BE DONE I have n dubt that this gvernment understands the imprtance f Britain's creative industries in general and the music industry in particular. I have n dubt that the gvernment understands the value f intellectual prperty in general and cpyright in particular. But I d believe there is mre wrk t be dne in helping gvernment distinguish the very different cpyrights in music recrdings; the rle f the recrd cmpany as the primary, if nt sle, investr in the creatin and marketing f recrded music; and the terrifying risk - reward rati the music industry faces. Persuading gvernment f these and ther salient facts abut ur business remains ur key agenda. Nwhere shuld ur lbby fcus mre strngly than n Takhg Stck.. By Peter Jamiesn extending term f cpyright, which in the United Kingdm and Eurpe still stands at just 0 years. Our ther key pririty with gvernment, as it is with media and the wider creative industries, is cmbating Internet piracy, in particular peer -t -peer file sharing. Implementing ur anti -piracy strategy is a primary duty fr the BPI this year. This is mre than just a legal task. It invlves cmmunicatin at every level, frm gvernment -three huses f parliament, fur relevant ministries and the prime minister's ffice -t the wider music industry, ther creative industries, the media and cnsumers. `Let thse wh invest and thse wh create decide tgether if and where their music can be accessed fr free.' With ur legal campaign targeting serial upladers, we are nt seeking t criminalize; we are nt seeking financial gain. We are seeking t educate and t deter. There are thse wh dream f an anarchistic wrld in which all music is available at n cst n the Internet. Fr the creatrs, whm we indirectly represent, the cnsequences f this free music are dire. Fr the investrs, whm we directly represent, it wuld mean death by a thusand cuts. It is the culture f free that ur Internet -piracy campaign seeks t challenge, t replace it with ne f authrizatin. Let thse wh invest and thse wh create decide tgether if and where their music can be accessed fr free. At the same time, recrd cmpanies are faced with enrmus challenges in making nline distributin f music wrk. DARING TO DREAM Befre finishing with gvernment relatins, I have t mentin the increasingly vital rle f the Music Business Frum, c- chaired by the BPI and British Music Rights. The DCMS seeks a cmmn vice frm the wider music industry, and the MBF has prvided that vice n many ccasins during the past year -fr the Cmmunicatins Bill, the Licensing Act and the Live Music Frum, t name just a few. Many peple have dared t dream that the frum culd be instrumental in creating a music cuncil, which wuld interface with gvernment the same way the film, art and design cuncils d. Fr many years, a music cuncil has been just talk, but the MBF is, I hpe, abut t d smething cncrete. If it can make this dream a reality, it will mean significant prgress fr the U.K. music industry. This cuncil culd further transfrm the relatinship between the industry and gvernment. Officials must recgnize that British musicians cmpete fr their cuntry, in particular against Americans, in the glbal English -language music market. These musicians bring cultural and ecnmic benefits t the United Kingdm. They shuld be viewed the same way British filmmakers and British ath- letes are: as vital t the cuntry's future. Reaching a cnsensus amng the wider industry is difficult when business cnditins put extreme pressure n particular sectrs. The gvernment has experienced a sea change in its understanding, but its reslve must nt weaken if and when we step up the fight against individuals wh steal ur music. Make n mistake abut it, fr every slack apprach t cpyright in the United Kingdm, the lsses are magnified glbally. What a difference a year makes. Peter Jamiesn is executive chairman f U.K. music industry trade bdy the British Phngraphic Industry. This is an abbreviated versin f his July 7 speech at BPI's annual general meeting.

Miltn Brunsn & the Thmpsn Cmmunity Singers, O'landa Draper, Edwin Hawkins, Mighty Cluds f Jy, Helen Baylr and Rance Allen. This summer, Wrd Label Grup executives plan t begin rebuilding the rster and pursuing their share f the gspel market nce again. "We're just trying t get Wrd back int the gspel music business," WLG president Barry Landis tells Higher Grund in an exclusive interview. "Is there a chance that turns int a label r an imprint f its wn? Abslutely. But we really wanted t take this ne step at a time." "Wrd is mre than 0 years ld. It used t be that black gspel was a huge initiative," adds Mark Lusk, WLG senir VP f marketing and artist develpment. "In the past decade, it hasn't been as much n the radar, but Barry has had an incredible passin t get Wrd back int the gspel business in a big way." Landis previusly wrked at Wrd in the '80s when the label had sme f its greatest success with the GENERATION : PART OF WORD'S REVIVAL Rejice imprint. Landis mved t Warner Alliance in 990 and later headed Atlantic Christian. Wrd went thrugh several wnership changes. Alng the way, its gspel divisin faltered. "A few years ag when I came back t Wrd, I really wanted what I did t be abut gspel as much as anything I was ding," Landis says. "I want my legacy at Wrd t be that I helped reestablish Wrd as a gspel pwerhuse. I really believe we can d that with the things we have nw and the things we have cming in the future." Having recmmitted Wrd t the gspel field, Landis' first mve in that directin was t hire Desmnd Pringle t head A &R. Frmerly an artist n Tmmy By Recrds, Pringle has been scuting fr new talent, staging shwcases in Chicag, Atlanta and Miami. The first act t have material released under this new initiative is Generatin J, a family grup whse members range in age frm 8 t. The Atlanta -based act's album, "Secret Place," streets July. The InThe By Debrah Evans Price dprice@billbard.cm release is a jint venture between Atlanta -based Arrw Recrds and Wrd, which will handle marketing and distributin. The grup Frtitude will release an album Aug., and du Ted & Sheri will have a set ut Oct.. Veteran gspel singer Karen Clark -Sheard is expected t sign with the label. Wrd als hired Lisa Jrdan as marketing manager fr urban gspel and Rderick Jemisn as directr f marketing fr urban gspel. Jemisn had mst recently been at Nashville - based Central Suth Distributin. "Operating in the gspel wrld is significantly different than cntemprary Christian," Lusk says. "S yu really need t have peple that have the relatinships there and understand hw things are marketed. Rderick is cming frm the retail side, and s much f it is making sure the prduct is in the right stres and the prmtins thse stres ffer are taken advantage f. He's the perfect guy fr the jb." The label is als issuing a series f cmpilatin CDs, "All Star Gspel Hits." They feature Aretha Franklin, Candi Statn, Dnnie McClurkin, Andraé Cruch and Ladysmith Black Mambaz, amng thers. The series includes "Vlume : Praise and Wrship," "Vlume : Live" and "Vlume : Hymns." "Vlume " was released t the general market May via WEA Distributin. Wrd Distributin will take it t Christian retail July 7. Lusk says beefing up Wrd's gspel presence is part f a desire fr the label t have an impact n the culture at large. 'We want t give artists f faith a larger platfrm fr their message and t get them nt the main stage," he says. "T be absent frm gspel music remves a majr pprtunity t affect culture, particularly if yu start lking at what peple are respnding t n the mainstream side, which is primarily R &B, hip -hp and rap music. We want t be a diverse label." A NEW HOME?: There's a petitin drive under way t urge Detrit city fficials t supprt plans fr a new Internatinal Gspel Music Hall f Fame and Museum. The gal is t get 0,000 names n the petitin by Aug.. The 6,000 -square -ft facility will shwcase the histry f gspel frm its earliest rts t tday's current acts. Plans include interactive exhibits, audi and visual galleries, prtraits f inductees, a perfrmance hall and educatinal prgrams. The current museum has bxes f vintage sheet music, chir rbes, rare recrdings, phts and ther memrabilia, but it cannt adequately display all the items that have been dnated.

11 Music Cmpsers Talk, Students Rck At L.A. Film Festival The 00 Ls Angeles Film Festival, held June 7-6, had a strng lineup f films and events. Here are sme f the musical highlights: Grammy Award -winning crn - psers Thmas Newman and Danny Elfman spke n a panel titled "Cffee Talks: Cmpsers" held June 0 at the Directrs Guild f America in Ls Angeles. BMI spnsred the panel, which BMI VP f film/tv relatins Dreen Ringer Rss mderated. Meeting intense deadlines and cmpeting with sund effects are tw f the biggest challenges facing tday's film cmpsers, Newman and Elfman said. "There's a real blurry line nw between where music and sund effects intermingle," Newman said. "Yu depend n yur directr t knw hw t subtract sund effects and hw t value music." Elfman added: "Mvies are much luder than they used t be. Directrs tday are frced t have better ears than music prducers have had t have in the last quarter century. They're asked t d a jb that invlves such critical hearing, and a lt f them aren't trained fr that. My jb is t interpret what isn't making them happy." Still, Newman and Elfman said it can be a prblem if a directr spends t much time trying t analyze a cmpser's wrk. Elfman cncluded that cmpsers must remember that their film music "isn't meant t be an rchestral album. It's meant t push the film." The dcumentary "Rck Schl" had its wrld premiere at the festival. Filmed during a perid f 8/ mnths, "Rck Schl" is abut Philadelphia teacher Paul Green and his music schl that teaches 9- t 7- year -lds hw t play rck music and be in a rck band.

12 Music Wurinen's Rushdie Wrk Finally Ready Fr Fall Debut Children's stries have lng been an peratic staple, frm Rssini's "La Cenerentla" and Massenet's "Cendrilln" t Humperdink's "Hansel and Gretel." But a different kind f fairy tale is making its way t the stage, WUORINEN: PUT RUSHDIETALETO MUSIC curtesy f lauded New Yrk -based cmpser Charles Wurinen and British pet/ librettist James Fentn: Salman Rushdie's "Harun and the Sea f Stries." The tale was penned shrtly after Iran's Ayatllah Khmeini issued his infamus fatwa after the publicatin f Rushdie's nvel "The Satanic Verses." "Harun," by cntrast, is a children's bk that is a mving tribute t free thught and a meditatin upn the bnd between fathers and sns. Wurinen and Fentn have wrked "Harun" int tw separate pieces. "The Harun Sngbk," scred fr fur singers and pian, was released n disc in May by Albany Recrds. "The 'Sngbk' is intended as an autnmus piece," Wurinen says. "Abut 7% f the pera desn't appear in the `Sngbk.' " Even s, it ffers a preview f srts f the cmplete pera (titled after the bk) that will have its wrld premiere Oct. -Nv. at New Yrk City Opera. The pera's bw has been a lng time in cming. "Third time's the charm," says Wurinen, wh bserves that "Harun" has already been delayed twice at NYCO because f financial cnstraints. Wurinen started wrk n the pera in 997. He says the material nw has resnances that were unimaginable when he began writing. "When we were first wrking n adapting the bk," the cmpser recalls, "Salman included a clause in his cntract stipulating that he wuld be allwed t attend the perfrmances. This was nt lng after the fatwa was issued, dn't frget, and s he had cause t be cncerned that fr security reasns he wuld be left ut. Nw, f curse, the whle wrld has undergne tremendus changes." One might wnder at first if Wurinen and Rushdie's aesthetic appraches might clash. Rushdie's writing exhibits an ardent lve f wrds, lping arund n tp f itself and featuring puns and deft asides. By cntrast, Wurinen writes spiky, brash music that's smewhat mre plain- spken. But the pair- Classical Scre. By Anastasia Tsiulcas ing is charming: "The Harun Sngbk" is playful, exuberant, witty and full f bright clrs. Wurinen says that the "Harun" text hlds up well years after it was riginally published. "In a nnheavy- handed way, it stands firm against thse wh wuld shackle the imaginatin," the cmpser says. AWARDS ALL AROUND: New Yrk's Meet the Cmpser has annunced the 00 winners f its Cmmissining Music/USA Awards, which this year fcuses n interdisciplinary wrks that run the gamut frm pera t dance t hip -hp.

A cmmercial single was released June 9. Simpsn, wh c -wrte the sngs n the album, has als signed a deal with EMI Music Publishing. In additin, MTV hitched anther ride with the Simpsns, launching "The Ashlee Simpsn Shw" in June. The shw fllws the making f Simpsn's album and her dramatic teenage life. The TV expsure thrugh "7th Heaven" and "The Ashlee Simpsn Shw" is a fantastic tl. "Any chance yu have t make an imprint in smene's mind makes yu mre memrable," says Rbin Jnes, VP f prgramming fr Radi Disney. It als helps that Simpsn's persna is whlly cnvincing t her yung target audience. "She's nt made up in her appearance, in her delivery and bviusly, in her talent," Jnes says. "Kids are very keen n seeing arund the crner and what's real." Seth Nieman, a senir manager at Sirius Satellite Radi, where "Pieces" is N. n the netwrk's Hit List, adds, "The biggest plus f cming int the music business with sme established frm f fame is that it becmes a curisity fr prgrammers, and they will check ut the sng right away." GRANOLA, NOT POP TART Musically, it's easy t separate Ashlee frm her sister. While the latter Simpsn capably plays the rle f diva in a gwn, Ashlee wears jeans and lets her hair hang lse and names such influences as Chrissie Hynde, Janis Jplin and Pat Benatar. Jhn Shanks (Michelle Branch, Sheryl Crw, Alanis Mrissette) prduced the album, and the wrk rcks with the guitar- crunching urgency f a huskier, mre upbeat Avril Lavigne- thugh Simpsn sunds mre like Jan Jett than any f her cntempraries. The sngs n the album reflect the eye- pening discveries that cme with yung adulthd, including first lve and first heartbreak, identity and sexual awakening. "I'm 9, and I'm ging thrugh sme defining mments in my life. I've tried nt t hld anything back," she says. "I guess I shuld aplgize t all f the bys that I have used fr inspiratin." As fr her cntributins t the recrd, Simpsn explains, "I wasn't ging t make a recrd unless I culd write n every sng. It really makes a difference [when yu're perfrming] t speak frm yur wn experiences." While her career deliberately started in acting s she wuldn't be viewed as trying t fllw in big sister's ftsteps, the path t music certainly wasn't a stretch. Simpsn has been preparing since she was, when she began taking dance lessns. She mved frm hmetwn Dallas t Ls Angeles with the family at and served as a backgrund dancer fr Jessica, while pursuing acting. In additin t "7th Heaven," she appeared as an MTV VJ. Her musical break came when she placed the sng "Just Let Me Cry" n Disney's "Freaky Friday" sund- track. She signed t Geffen and at the beginning f 00 began wrk n the album. Regarding the bvius cmparisns between the tw, Ashlee respnds: "I am s prud f Jessica. She is an amazing artist with a beautiful vice. But I have never listened t the kind f music that she des. We're bth ding music -but in very different ways, and it's cl." bth artists and has becme a master f multimedia marketing (see The Last Wrd, page 6). Already, deals fr Ashlee are in place with Candies and Icebreakers breath mints (with Jessica). Mvie rles are als imminent. But therwise, Je Simpsn insists it is imprtant t hld ff and let the music -and the MTV SIMPSON: CO -WROTE THE ALBUM'S TRACKS SPREADING THE WORD Father Je Simpsn manages series -speak fr Ashlee. "The design fr me, riginally, was t have each shw fcus n ne sng and why it was written," he says. "Her series is `The OC' with music, because it's the drama f her life." Ashlee adds, "There are days where I wuld g int the studi and it sucks. But at the end f the day, yu see the successes and what it tk t get there. It's imprtant t get yurself ut there s that peple knw yu as a persn and nt just the music." Geffen c- president Jrdan Schur is als a prpnent f letting Simpsn sell herself by simply presenting an hnest prtrayal f wh she is. Schur's strategy is t ensure that Simpsn's prir fame in n way interferes with her rle as a musician. "We went in this pretending that there was n TV shw, n Simpsn family and n celebrity," he says. "We've taken an ld -schl wrk ethic by bringing her t every radi statin, every retailer, smetimes tw states a day. She's perfrming acustically everywhere she can." Geffen als wrked the new - media angle, with a ptent ally in early supprter AOL. "I heard her album and fund that with every sng, there's a different dimensin," says Evan Harrisn, VP /GM f AOL Music. Since May, AOL has received millin hits fr "Pieces f Me" and its videclip. Besides print and TV, retail initiatives are set with Target, Best Buy, Wal -Mart and 7- Eleven, which will release an exclusive Christmas EP featuring the sisters. Overseas marketing fllws. "Ashlee has been waiting her whle life t make this recrd," Schur says. "She's cmpletely fcused n the music and has turned dwn a number f [acting] rles s that she can develp as an artist. She has the humility and the wrk ethic t make this happen." BILLBOARD JULY 7, 00

13 Billbard Ht Talent HARD MUSIC Hekìng T Market Crss -Prmtins, Spnsrships Offer Acts Expsure As Well As Incme BY BRYAN REESMAN Led Zeppelin rcking in a Cadillac ad? Alice Cper mugging fr Marritt Htels? Judas Priest jamming in a Burger King spt? Twenty years ag, it wuld have been heresy fr metal acts t be invlved in majr cmmercial marketing endeavrs. But as these and ther marketing tie -ins attest, times have changed. "It used t be tab t be invlved with Madisn Avenue r any f this stuff," says Bb Chiappardi, president f Cncrete Marketing, an independent music marketing cmpany with expertise in hard music. "Nw it's all fun, and everyne seems t be cl with it. I think rap music really helped break thrugh a lt f thse barriers, because rap in general is very capitalistic." Rck bands want t live large again, and new ecnmic realities are frcing them t rethink endrsements and spnsrships. Chiappardi ntes that whereas music used t be a fcal pint fr yuth culture, it is nw a sundtrack t ther activities like skatebarding, videgames and sprts. And with the shrinking f playlists at radi and vide utlets -nt t mentin reduced recrd cmpany budgets -ther frms f entertainment can entice ptential cnsumers and add revenue t a band's pckets. CREATIVE PITCHING "Besides music spnsrship, there are many ther things assciated with a band being n tur that cmpanies can appreciate," Gdhead frntman Jasn Miller says. "S yu just have t be a little creative when yu are pitching yurself t these cmpanies and really shw them hw yu using their prduct wuld help prmte their cmpany." In additin t clthing endrsements fr fashin cmpanies, Gdhead has written music fr videgames and TV shws. One f the mst effective ways t reach music fans these days is thrugh videgames. "Given the presence f videgames in husehlds thrughut America -and I think there are abut 0 millin huse - hlds-it nly makes sense t me that videgames have the pwer t break bands," says Larry Jacbsn, wner f the Larry Jacbsn C., which manages Avenged Sevenfld. In the early '90s, prgressive metal band Queensr9che was ahead f its time in releasing a videgame featuring the band and music frm its album "Prmised Land." Nw, Krn, Seven Wiser, Atreyu and Static -X, t name just a few bands, have licensed their music fr games. That is ften a way t attract new fans wh might nt therwise be expsed t their music. "Nntraditinal avenues like videgames prvide the advantage f bundling ur music with a prduct that will cnnect with ur target audience and make multiple impressins," says Ramsey Dean, VP f sales fr Victry Recrds, Atreyu's label. Fear Factry drummer Raymnd Herrera agrees. "Nwadays yu can d deals n the side that are wrth mre than what yu even make frm yur band," he says. Herrera als wns Herrera Prductins, a cmpany specializing in music, vicevers and effects fr videgames. When he attended the 00 Electrnic Entertainment Expsitin in Ls Angeles last mnth, he distributed cpies f the new Fear Factry album, "Archetype," t prspective clients. He estimates that his band's sngs have already appeared n t 0 games.

It creates a bnd between the acts and their audiences, and drives album sales alng the way. Here are examples f recent turs by hard music bands that bsted bth their careers and their album sales, accrding t Nielsen SundScan.

Althugh the band's previus release, "Alive r Just Breathing," didn't even crack The Billbard 00, the band steadily gained fans by tur- AVER ing behind the album. Band members als hardly brke a sweat fllwing the departure f the grup's riginal vcalist, Jesse Leach. Hward Jnes, frm Bld Has Been Shed, replaced Leach fr the band's secnd -stage slt last year at Ozzfest. "I remember when, back in 00, these guys started ut turing with bands like Hypcrisy, Silwrk and Kittie, and I never nce heard them cmplain abut turing in a van," Radrunner Recrds directr f tur marketing Vernica Vallad says. "In fact," she adds, "they even expressed hw much they liked turing in a van mre s than a bus, which I was cmpletely astunded by. I've always thught every new band autmatically thught they were entitled t a bus befre they even sld a recrd, s that t me was an indicatin that this band was the real deal."

"This is a band that, at the end f the turing cycle fr their last album, had played almst 00 dates in the U.S. alne, nt t mentin Eurpe and Japan. "They'll play every market - whether it's Des Mines, Iwa; Siux Falls, S.D.; Chicag; r New Yrk -and treat it the same," Hlgersen says. "Hatebreed really thrives in secndary markets, because they have a lt f mm -and -pp stre recrd sales attributed t them there.

"Until they started getting MTV airplay, tur dates were their biggest stimuli," Metal Blade VP f sales and marketing Dan Fitzgerald says. "Arund Christmas, they were scanning as many as,000 units per week, all frm tur dates." The band recently wrapped up anther tur leg with In Flames and Killswitch Engage, during which it saw a ntable bst in album sales. Artist: Shadws Fall Album: "The Art f Balance" Label: Century Media Tur. Dates: Oct. 0 -Dec., 00 Album Sales Increase During Tur: 8% t 77,00 units By the time they were added t last year's Ozzfest tur, New England quintet Shadws Fall had already develped a slid fllwing by turing extensively behind its third album, "The Art f Balance," which was released in 00. "They're the new kings f the rad, as far as I'm cncerned," says Andrew Sample, Century Media directr f rck and specialty radi prmtins. "They're ne band that realizes that yu can't always put yur faith in [mainstream] media t make yur band ppular. Yu have t make friends and d it frm the grund up. "Like the bands they idlized grwing up," Sample adds, "Shadws Fall exemplifies the thrash metal apprach f getting in the van r bus and visiting everybdy. Let the ther stuff take care f itself. They cncentrate n taking the music t the peple, and that's fine, because we can d everything else." In keeping with the band's traditin as rad warrirs, it is currently turing behind the release f its furth album, "The War Within," which will arrive Sept.. Rck's Brand Names Sme rck artists are brand names unt themselves. Fllwing the success f MTV reality shw "The Osburnes," the image f Ozzy Osburne and his family has appeared n merchandising items including actin figures, lunch bxes and clthing. Other ventures include the family appearing in a clnmercial fr Pepsi Twist and wife Sharn hsting the nw -defunct "Sharn Osburne Shw." Kiss has aggressively marketed the band's name and likeness fr items including tys, cmic bks, magazines, even caskets. And Rb Zmbie is knwn nt nly fr music but Rcking Cntinued frm page album, "Vl. : The Subliminal Verses," manager Cry Brennan says. Brennan als represents Frm Autumn t Ashes and Murderdlls. Slipknt wrked with Radrunner and Activisin t include a rugh mix f the unreleased sng "Dn't Get Clse" in the recent "MTX: Mttrax" game. Tw lder Slipknt tunes were als included, an ad fr the band appeared in the game bklet and free cpies f the games were given away n the Jägermeister tur, which featured Slipknt n the bill. Sme grups g beynd licensing. Fr example, P.O.D. included a bnus videgame, develped exclusively fr the band, with the first millin cpies f its latest album, "Payable n Death." Kenny Ocha, VP f film and TV licensing at the Sanctuary Recrds Grup, says that hit videgame "Tny Hawk's Undergrund" features Kiss bassist Gene Simmns as a hidden character, three Kiss sngs n an undisclsed level f the game and an exclusive DVD preview n anther level. "I think that's mre imprtant than any type f fee that yu might get," Ocha says. "Yes, we're getting paid fr these types f things, but mre [imprtant] is the crss -prmtin." Such expsure helps expand the branding f a band, and Ocha believes that videgames will influence future A &R activity, particularly as cmpanies like Activisin and Electrnic Arts seek t break new bands. Nntraditinal marketing extends int TV and mvie prmtins. Accrding t Chiappardi, many bands have lent their music t wrestling events n pay -per -view, including sngs used as themes fr individual wrestlers. Bands invlved with Wrld Wrestling Entertainment have included Metallica, Limp Bizkit, Marilyn Mansn, Creed, Rb Zmbie and Sil. The recent SnCre tur featured fur bands n the "Punisher" film sundtrack frm Wind -up Recrds. The sundtrack included Wind -up's wn Strata and Finger Eleven, s the cmpany prduced a "sizzle piece" that was shwn between band sets, accrding t David Hazan, Wind -up executive VP f sales and marketing. Hazan says, "We gt ne f the best scenes frm the mvie, and because we have ur wn in -huse prductin resurces, we were able t edit Drwning Pl ver ne scene." Despite such widespread activity, endrsements and spnsrships shuld be handled with care. It cmes dwn t what kind f cmpany is assciated with a certain band. Pairing gth clthing with a dark metal band r beer and videgames with an extreme metal tur are bvius fits that play well t thse audiences. The key lies in the right cmbinatin. This summer's Prjekt Revlutin tur, which includes Linkin Park, mvies, tys, cmic bks and a Hallween -themed maze at Universal Studis Hllywd. Zmbie's manager, Andy Guld, c -head f music at artist management cmpany the Firm, says Zmbie always planned fr such diverse activities. "Rb started frm [New Yrk's] Parsns Schl f Design," Guld says. "One f the reasns fr frming the band was having an utlet fr his artwrk. We always said we shuld be in the cmic bk business and making mvies and televisin shws. We've been thrugh all f thse nw." BRYAN REESMAN Krn and Snp Dgg, has attracted spnsrship frm Majr League Baseball, SBe Adrenaline Rush, SlamBall and Game Rush. "T make it exciting fr everyne, we gt spnsrs [fr] what they can d," says Rb McDermtt, manager fr Linkin Park and Sil at the Firm. "The main thing is t make sure that it's a very fun day." Since nt every fan will want t see every act, he says, they can play Slam - ball, practice in pitching and batting cages r hit the videgame rm. "I think fr a yung act, [nntraditinal marketing] is fun and gets yur brand and yur name ut there, and I think that's exciting," McDermtt says. These days, nntraditinal marketing seems t be helping bands frm every generatin. And at a time when airplay is harder t btain, it is giving renewed life t many artists. Hwever, the quality f music remains mre imprtant than the quantity f marketing tie -ins. "Ultimately, when it cmes t signing a band fr me, the mst imprtant thing has been and always will be the music," says Mnte Cnnr, senir VP f A &R fr Radrunner Recrds. "That said, if yu have mney in yur budget t sign ne band, and there are tw bands that yu feel very strng abut, then naturally yu're ging t want t sign the band that has gt all these ther elements happening." Merch Wrks Wind -up Recrds has launched an in -huse merchandise cmpany, Prnt Merch, t which it has signed all f its current bands. "Having a merch cmpany gives us a chance t develp prmtins in fashin/lifestyle accunts that can really benefit the artists," Windup executive VP f sales and marketing David Hazan says. 'We've dne sme huge things with [music and clthing retailer] Ht Tpic that benefit ur bands a lt." Anther label's band that has benefited frm Ht Tpic expsure is Lacuna Cil. The Milan -based band's label, Century Media, says it has shipped 00,000 units f the band's album "Cmalies." "They prvide the band with whatever clthes [and accessries] they want," Century Media directr f A &R Phil Hinkle reprts. "They d the pht shts with them in thse clthes, put them n the Ht Tpic site and send them ut t their mailing list, [which has apprximately] a millin kids." Hinkle says the band has sld 7,000 albums thrugh the chain. BRYAN REESMAN BILLBOARD JULY 7, 00

18 Music urin BY MARGO WHITMIRE Justin and Kelly. Clay and Ruben. Fantasia and Diana? While high TV ratings fr "American Idl" have translated t successful ticket sales fr past seasns' respective turs, early sales numbers have prmters wndering if the same will be said fr this seasn's American Idls Live, which begins July at the Delta Center in Salt Lake City. "We're nt seeing the same kind f fervr as last year," says Debra Rathwell, senir VP at AEG Live, which is prmting the tur. "This ne is steadily selling, but [last year] was much mre frenzied in the beginning." In Philadelphia, Wachvia Center GM Jhn Page says that while audiences were mre invlved in the vting prcess this seasn than in years past, "it desn't seem t be equating t live - perfrmance interest when yu cmpare seasn three t tw." Creative Artists Agency has bked the Idls' tur since its inceptin in 00. CAA music agent Jeff Frasc believes the brand remains strng and pints ut that "ticket sales fr everything [this summer] are dwn in general. We're selling tickets daily." *0 E E THIRD -SEASON 'AMERICAN IDOL' FINALISTS 'Idl' Interest Wavers, But Still Strng Frasc adds that fr the first time in the "Idl" tur histry, an internatinal date is being planned fr Manila in the Philippines. "Fr sme reasn they're watching it there," he says. SECOND TREK A TOUGH MATCH Venue managers and prmters agree, hwever, that sales drummed up by the dynamic between last seasn's winner Ruben Studdard and runner -up Clay Aiken will be hard t match. "We didn't have the same kind f cmpetitin this year," Rathwell says. "Yu had lts f girls and lder wmen int Ruben the `Teddy Bear' vs. Clay the `Cutie.' " "Last year we ended up selling ut because f Clay and Ruben," Page says. "I hpe that next seasn Fx will try t develp sme persnalities that will translate mre t ticket sales." Mike Wley, assistant GM fr Atlanta's Gaylrd Entertainment Center, attributes slw ticket sales t a lack f "the Kellys r Clays r Rubens that audiences have instantly attached themselves t. I'm nt seeing as much grundswell fr ne particular artist n the tur." (Cntinued n page 8) Turing Biz Cntinued frm page president f TMG /AEG Live. Messina cunts his blessings fr his sellut business with Kenny Chesney this summer. "I'm listening t all these stries and ticket cunts, and it's crazy, it's s bad ut there," Messina says. Randy Phillips, CEO f natinal prmter AEG Live, als sees a dwnturn, especially with ticket sales ut f the gate. "On -sales are ff, sme 0% t 60% frm what was prjected, and shws aren't clsing like they used t," he says. Dave Lucas, president/c -CEO f Clear Channel Entertainment's music divisin, admits there are "sme bumps in the rad, but there are als sme gd shws ut there. N industry can grw by duble digits every year, and we still believe this is a grwth business." Still, Nrth American cncert figures fr this year are flat at best. Year t year, 00 and 00 are tracking very clsely in terms f grss dllars, at $79 millin and $78 millin, respectively, accrding t Billbard Bxscre. But 00 was frnt -laded t a degree, with big arena turs by Prince, Bette Midler and Shania 'wain early in the year helping drive business. The bttm fell ut in April. Dllars frm April t June fr this year are dwn 7.6% frm the same perid ne year ag, and attendance is dwn almst 7% fr that perid. "Sme big [arena] turs are ding great, [such as] Madnna, Prince and Simn & Garfunkel," says Peter Grsslight, wrldwide head f music fr the William Mrris Agency. But he adds that many traditinally strng shed artists are "drastically underperfrming" (see stry, this page). "We're taking a hard lk at certain shws t determine if they're a wise decisin," Lucas says. WINNERS AND LOSERS The pster child fr turs that did nt wrk this summer culd be Llla- palza, which canceled its July - August run because f extremely pr ticket sales (Billbard, July ). Since then, the plug has been pulled n the Crusty Demns extreme -sprts tur, fllwing earlier canceled treks by Britney Spears, Marc Anthny and Christina Aguilera fr nn- salesrelated issues. Several ther turs are experiencing less -than- prjected sales, including treks by such ppular acts as the Dead, Incubus, Dave Matthews Band, Glria Estefan, Van Halen, Eric Clap - tn, Kiss and Nrah Jnes, accrding t surces. Mre cancellatins may lie ahead, and sme turs, including Jnes' uting, are scaling back t smaller venues in sme markets. "As every summer, there are ht spts and `nt' spts," Huse f Blues executive VP Alex Hdges says. "At HOB, we have sme great nes, sme in between, sme that are very pr." In additin t Prince and Madnna, ntable successes this summer include Metallica, Sting, Jsh Grban, David Bwie, Chesney and the Nickelback/ Drs Dwn shed package. Gregg Perlff, president f Anther Planet Entertainment, finds sme gd news ut there this summer. "I see a lt f artists wh have a reasn fr being n the rad and wh have a reasnable ticket price -under $9.0 in mst cases," he says, citing Franz Ferdinand, Jack Jhnsn and the Pixies. But the stiffs are what peple are talking mst abut this summer. BAD SHOWS OR BAD DEALS? Any decrease is significant fr an industry that has experienced duble - digit grwth fr many years running. But the upward dllar trend f the past several years can be misleading because f increased ticket prices. "The dllars g up because the cst f shws are up; it's that simple," Messina says. "Grsses may be up, but prfits are dwn." Fr many, this summer culd be remembered as the seasn when ticket prices reached their limit. Ticket prices are a functin f artist guarantees, and sme surces say crprate prmters like CCE, HOB and AEG Live are taking a beat- ing n sme shws this summer, even when attendance tps 0,000 per night. Perlff gives ticket prices abut 60% f the blame fr turing's prblems. "Where it's really bad is fr shws between $0 and $00," he says. "When yu start charging $80 t $00 fr an act with a huge name but n heat ging right nw, it's a real prblem." Such issues may pint mre t bad deals than bad turs and just hw bad business is can be a matter f perspective. "I think what peple are really cmplaining abut is nt hw bad [turing] is but hw bad the deals are," says Dennis Ma, president f Writers & Artists Grup Internatinal, the agency fr Metallica, Billy Jel and Rd Stewart. "It may be that an act is ding gd business, just nt enugh business t supprt the guarantee," Arfa adds. Thugh it takes the brunt f blame, CCE is nt the nly prmter paying artists exrbitant guarantees. "We're always guilty f that, that's why the artists lve us," Shedding Tears Over Sheds Much f this summer's turing slump can be blamed n tugh business at amphitheaters. "Other than a few hiccups that we're negtiating n, this has been a pretty damn gd year fr us," says Randy Phillips, CEO f AEG Live, which prmtes primarily in arenas. "If I had an amphitheater, I'd prbably be crying like everyne else." There are numerus reasns fr the dwnturn: high ticket prices, t many shws and, sme suggest, an aging demgraphic that n lnger wants t bther sitting n a lawn. Regardless f the reasns, prmters are ding whatever they can t get peple in the seats. Massive discunting, including $0 -$ tickets and twfr-ne lawn seat prmtins by Clear Channel Entertainment, the largest shed peratr, is lessening the blw by getting patrns int the venues. Sme frwn n the practice. "All these fire sales and papering f huses, it's ttally devaluing ur business," says Luis Messina, president f TMG /AEG Live. Dave Lucas, president/c -CEO f CCE's music divisin, disagrees. "If yu're nt ding it n every shw, every weekend, [discunting] can be helpful t jump - start shws in sme markets," he says. When it cmes t cutting a deal fr their artists, bking agents say amphitheaters and arenas are cmpletely different animals. That's because the prmter ften wns the amphitheatre and can add nnticket revenue frm items such as cncessins and parking. Dennis Arfa, president f New Yrk -based bking agency Writers & Artists Grup Internatinal, says: "It's that ld prmter game f `We'll let yu see what we want yu t see.' That's ne f the factrs that pushes the guarantees up. We're trying t cmpensate fr what we knw we're nt ging t get." Ma believes full disclsure wuld lead t better deals. "If everything were n the table, if all prfits culd be seen, then we wuld begin t knw what a deal really can r can't be, what the ptential really is." RAY WADDELL AEG's Phillips says. "We try very hard ging int a deal t cnvince the manager and agent t lk at scaling, and in sme cases we paid less than ur cmpetitrs fr turs," Phillips cntinues. `But in ther cases we pay t much." Sme say the increased crpratizatin f the industry has led t a mre cutthrat business. "It's nt like the ld days, when if a prmter was lsing, yu knew it was their mney they were lsing," ne artist rep says. "Nw, yu still respect all thse guys, but yu knw it's nt their mney. They already gt their mney. The cncert business has n cnnectin t the Mays family," which wns CCE parent Clear Channel Cmmunicatins. CCE's Lucas seems t indicate his cmpany's pckets might nt be s deep next year. "We as an industry have t lk at ticket prices and have sme srt f dwnward adjustment," Lucas says. Hdges agrees a crrectin is needed. "Sme prmters have frgtten that each market is different and there are nly six t 0 really big markets, anther 0 strng markets and that the next 0 markets can't supprt the ticket prices demanded t pay the guarantees." Natinal prmters are ften the wrst ffenders. "The `bid up, bid up, bid up' prcess has hurt the business," Hdges says. "A change has t cme." Perlff als lays sme f the blame n recrd labels and their hesitatin t align with a specific radi statin in twn fr fear f alienating cmpeting prgrammers. "Managers are s wrried abut radi drpping their recrd that nbdy's taking wnership f cncerts," Perlff says. "The turing industry has t find a way t bring back radi presents." In the meantime, the cncert industry must weather this summer f discntent -with an eye tward change. "The sky's nt falling," Messina says.' We're just bad business peple." BILLBOARD JULY 7, 00

But the Red Ht Chili Peppers had smething t say abut that with their remarkable three nights at Hyde Park in Lndn. Thse three shws tk in a staggering $7,87, frm three selluts. The shws -June 9, 0 and -sld 8,000 tickets. Clear Channel Entertainment U.K. prmted/prduced the shws, which were part f an annual music series the cmpany prduces at Hyde Park. CCE Eurpe president Michael Rapin says even he was caught ff guard at hw well- received the Peppers were in Lndn. "It blew ur minds," Rapin says. "The first shw sld ut in a cuple f hurs, then we put up a secnd shw and it went clean just as quickly." A third shw als sld ut, and Rapin thinks there was still mre business fr the Peppers at Hyde Park. "I think we culd've dne anther tw r even three if we had the avails," he says. Tickets were $6, with sme gld circle seats at $8. James Brwn was the pening act. Incredibly, the Peppers als sld ut three ther stadiums in the United Kingdm, drawing 8,000 in Manchester, England; 6,000 in Cardiff, Wales; and 0,000 in Edinburgh, Sctland. "And we culd've sld mre," Rapin says. "The Red Ht Chili Peppers are an incredibly huge band in Eurpe." CCE U.K. will hst Simn & Garfunkel July at Hyde Park, a shw Rapin says has already mved mre than 0,000 tickets and is headed tward a likely sellut. In general, Rapin says the Eurpean cncert market is nt suffering the same dldrums seen in the United States this summer. On The Rad.. 00 By Ray Waddell "The Eurpean cncert market is cming ff ne f its strngest in 0 years, with stadium shw after stadium shw," Rapin says. Last year, Bruce Springsteen, the Rlling Stnes, Metallica, Rbbie Williams and Bn Jvi all did stadium -level business. "But we're still ging t have grwth this year, which is amazing," Rapin says. David Bwie, Madnna, Sting, Britney Spears and thers have dne well in Eurpe in 00, and festivals like Dwnlad and the Isle f Wight are als strng. "We've had a few slw shws here and there, but we haven't felt anywhere near the pain f U.S. markets," Rapin says. "We haven't seen that same level f drp- ff." The stability f the Eurpean cncert market may be traced in part t lwer ticket prices and less amphitheater- driven traffic. LEMONADE FROM LEMONS: The cancellatin f Lllapalza (Bill - bard, July ) freed up precius summer avails fr many acts, and ne culdn't expect a hard -turing band like String Cheese Incident t sit ut any live -perfrmance pprtunities.

22 ARPLAYTM Music Jadakiss Single Curts Cntrversy Musicians ften vice plitical pinins in their sngs, especially during an electin year. Mst hip -hp acts, hwever, have remained mum n the current plitical envirnment -until nw. Ruff Ryders/Interscpe artist Jadakiss -als a member f rap tri the Lx -is receiving a lt f attentin fr his single "Why?" The sng questins President Bush's invlvement in the events f Sept., 00, with the lyric "Why did Bush knck dwn the Twers?" The line has prmpted sme radi statins t edit the sng. Accrding t surces at MTV the "Why?" vide was serviced t the netwrk withut the lyric. Fr Jadakiss, the sng is a way t reach peple. "I wanted t make a sng that culd appeal t a brader [audiencel -and nt nly the hd," he says. "I wanted t make smething that wuld tuch peple at hme in white America. "I was thinking, What's the ne thing that everyne has in cmmn? Questins.' Everyne asks why, s I decided t write a sng asking questins that everyne wants [answers] t," he adds. As fr the cntrversial line, the Ynkers, N.Y., rapper's view is unwavering. "I just felt [Bush] had smething t d with that," Jadakiss says, referring t the events f Sept.. "That's why I put it in there like that. A lt f my peple felt that he had smething t d with it." Sme prgrammers say they were serviced nly with the versin that mitted the line -in bth the radi edit and the "clean" versin. "Actually, the uncensred versin Beats& Rhymes f that line [n the album] is prbably my favrite in the whle sng," says ne PD, wh asked t remain annymus. "Since they can hear us in [Washingtn] D.C., and I dn't want [the] Secret Service kncking dwn my dr in the middle f the night," the PD adds, "I'll stick t the clean versin." By Rashaun Hall While sme statins air an edited versin f the sng, ther statins like WGCI Chicag and WWPR New Yrk have pted nt t. "I saw the vide, where they edited the [sng], but when it came t playing it n the radi, we never thught we shuld [edit it]," WWPR PD Michael Saunders says. "Freedm f speech gives him the right t say what he des. N ne edited `Get Lw' by Lil Jn & the East Side Byz." Saunders says the lyric hasn't been an issue at WWPR. "N ne has called abut it," he says. "Even with wmen, wh listen t lyrics mre [than men], n ne has nticed it enugh t call." Interscpe head f rap prmtins Kevin "Always Bet On" Black isn't cncerned abut the cntrversy. " `Why?' is the biggest recrd I've wrked," he says. "It tuches the heart and says things that a lt f peple are afraid t say." Black isn't the nly ne wh thinks that. Jadakiss' secnd album, "Kiss f Death," debuted at N. n The Billbard 00 last week, selling mre than 6,000 cpies in its first week, accrding t Nielsen SundScan. Meanwhile, "Why?," which features R &B singer Anthny Hamiltn, cntinues t climb the charts. The secnd single frm "Kiss f Death" debuted at N. 7 n the Ht R &B/ Hip -Hp Singles & Tracks chart. The single is N. 6 this issue. The type f cntrversy that surrunds "Why" can end up helping an artist, and Jadakiss knws it. "They're censring me all ver the place, and that's gd," he says. "That means it's reaching ut t everybdy. When I made the sng, I wrte it t be plitical, cntrversial, and t stir sme things up. "Smebdy has t take the frefrnt and sacrifice," he adds. "That's what I d-i sacrifice myself." le An I- J007 Y W g Q 7 Q 6 Bi II bard TITLE ARTIST (IMPRINT /PROMOTION LABEL) at NUMBER.ttr Cnfessins Part II Wks A'. a USHER ILAFACE0MBA) Slw Mtin JUVENILE (CASH MONEYNMRG) Lean Back TERROR SQUAD (SRCNNIVERSAUUMRG) m Jesus Walks On Fire KANYE WEST (ROCA- FELWDEF JAM/IDJMG) LLOYD BANKS (G- UNIT/INTERSCOPEI m 6 If I Ain't Gt Yu ALICIA KEYS (JMMG) 7 Burn 0 USHER ILAFACE/ZOMBAI 9 U Shuld've Knwn Better MONICA IJ/RMG) 0 Diary ALICIA KEYS J/RMG) y W Y HOT R&B/IfHOP = Ñ TITLE )- 'n ARTIST (IMPRINT /PROMOTION LABEL) I Like That HOUSTON (CAPITOL) 7 I Dn't Wanna Knw MARIO WINANS (BAD BOY /UMRG) 9 Turn Me On m KEVIN LYITLE (VP/ATLANTIC) 9 Talk Abut Our Lve BRANDY FEAT.

25 atin UMVD Rules U.S. Latin, Nears 0% Market Share BY LEILA COBO Universal Music & Vide Distributin cmmands clse t half f the U.S. Latin marketplace. Accrding t Nielsen SundScan numbers, UMVD- distributed titles accunt fr 6.% f all Latin albums sld fr the six -mnth perid ending June 7. UMVD's market share fr the same perid last year was 6. %. Even that number gave UMVD nearly twice the share f Sny, a distant N. with a 9.9% market share. This year, the disparity is mre extreme: Sny is still in secnd place, thugh its share dipped t 7.% f the U.S. Latin market Still, that number is up frm the 6.% market share Sny had fr first - quarter 00. The slight increase in the secnd quarter can be attributed at least in part t the strng shwing f Marc Anthny's first Spanish -langi 'age pp album, "Amar Sin Mentiras," which has been N. n the Billbard Tp Latin Albums chart since its release three weeks ag. Sny als had anther Cliseum Cntinued frm page give anything t play r perfrm in this new structure," says SMG GM Bb Rice, nting the blend f amenities and luxury. The structure -which cmplies with pr basketball and Natinal Hckey League standards -basts a series f amenities and mdern facilities nt fund in ther island venues. It shwcases a heliprt, ticket windws and a,00- t 7,000 -seat intimate theater setting. Amng its many ther features are a catwalk steel structure hung frm its ceiling t prvide easy cnnectin f N. with Adán Chalin Sánchez's "Amr y Lágrimas." Sny- distributed Mn Music released that title. On its end, UMVD has als seen its market share grw thrugh its distributed labels, such as Univisin Music Grup. It is the leading Latin music label by market share in the U.S., accrding t Nielsen SundScan. Univisin Music Grup includes the Univisin Recrds, Fnvisa and Disa labels.

MARCELO FERNANDEZ BITAR and LEILA COBO D ance Music 'Da Hype' Jacks Up Buzz On Junir Jack Junir Jack -therwise knwn as Vit Lucente -has reasns t be cheerful. His single, "Da Hype" featuring Rbert Smith f the Cure, reached the summit f the Billbard Ht Dance Club Play chart in the last issue. This issue, the track dips t N. 6. "Da Hype "-which features a lping snippet frm Bbby "O" Orland's early -'80s club hit, "I'm S Ht fr Yu " -is frm Junir Jack's debut album as an artist, "Trust It" (Nettwerk America, due July ); the album was released internatinally earlier this year. A smart and savvy sampler f music, Junir Jack cnccts club sunds that are as cntemprary as they are retr. "When I'm in the studi, there is n real recipe fr making a track," Junir Jack tells Billbard. With a trial -and -errr methd, he says he'll listen t a few "ld recrds" t see if smething catches his ear. "If I hear smething I like, I'll sample it and start frming a track arund it" T illustrate, Junir Jack pints t "Make Luv" by ne f his many aliases, Rm. One f the biggest -selling singles in the United Kingdm last year, "Make Luv" featured Oliver Cheatham and his early -'80s dance - flr anthem, "Get Dwn Saturday Night." The artist -a native f Bari, Italy, wh calls Brussels hme - says he desn't like sampling recrds that he knws t well. "I want t think that I'm ding smething brand -new." Indeed, the next single frm "Trust It," "Stupidisc" (with remixes by Ht and Lee Cabrera), revlves arund a Pinter Sis- B ea I Bx_ By Michael Paletta mpaletta@billbard.cm ters sample (the N. club single, "Dare Me," frm 98). Junir Jack says it was the last track he recrded fr the album. "I had been in the studi fr tw mnths -I was tired. I wanted t d smething as a jke. I discvered this Pinter Sisters track, and I went frm there." Ultimately, Junir Jack says he crafted "sme stupid disc track." Hence, the sng's title. Cnsider it an abslute highlight f "Trust It" Other album highlights include last summer's Ibiza, Spain, anthem, "E- Samba," and "Luv U," which will surely remind sme f Rberta Flack's "Feel Like Makin' Lve."

27 CMA Fest Ready Fr TV Clse -Up BY DEBORAH EVANS PRICE NASHVILLE -Fr years cuntry music fans have cnverged here every summer t see their favrite artists at Fan Fair. This year, the Cuntry Music Assn.'s annual event was renamed CMA Music Festival. Fr the first time, thse wh dn't make the trip t Nashville can get a taste f the festivities by tuning in t "CMA Music Festival: Cuntry Music's Biggest Party" airing in the United States July at 9 p.m. ET n CBS. CMA executive directr Ed Bensn says the idea fr the TV special was first flated in 979 by Dick Clark but never came t fruitin. "Fr me persnally, this is a dream f almst years," Bensn says. Once the event relcated frm the Nashville Fairgrunds t the city's dwntwn area last year, the CMA began investigating the pssibilities nce again. The result is a tw -hur prgram shwcasing Brks & Dunn, Martina McBride, LeAnn Rimes, Brad Paisley, Gretchen Wilsn, Uncle Kracker, Mntgmery Gentry, Terri Clark, Pat Green, Rascal Flats, Willie Nelsn and Hank Williams Jr., amng thers. The special was directed by Gary Halversn and prduced by CMA bard member Rbert Deatn fr Deatn Flanigen Prductins. At last year's festival, Deatn sht a MUSIC t.ifestival five- minute videtape t pitch t netwrks. The first stp was CBS because the netwrk already airs the annual CMA Awards shw in Nvember. Bensn says the special will let cnsumers see cuntry acts in a different light than an awards shw perfrmance. In additin t cncert ftage, there are segments f artists interacting with fans. A pair f fans wn a chance t spend the day with McBride. Camera crews fllwed Capitl Recrds newcmer Dierks Bentley arund fr a day during the event, and they als peeked in n tw yung musicians wh gt t hang ut with Keith Urban n his bus. Deatn says the special is "90% music, but it's als 0% shwing the uniqueness f the fans and the uniqueness f the event." Capturing the scpe f the festivities was "a big prductin," Deatn says, requiring different cameras. In additin, the crew used cranes with cameras rving abve the fans during the evening shws at the Nashville Cliseum. The biggest challenge, Deatn says, was that "the TV shw was nt created first. All the seats had been sld. We just culdn't cme in and g, 'OK, we are ging t put the camera here because it's the mst ptimal place t put it.' [We wuld be] blcking abut 600 peple. We had t let the fans have a great experience and BENSON:TV SHOW A DREAM COME TRUE nt get in their way." Bensn says he believes this is the first music festival t spawn a majr netwrk TV special. His gals fr it are t expse cuntry music, prvide artists extra incentive t participate and encurage viewers t attend next year. "We want t create brader awareness fr the event," he says. "We hpe fans will say, `Hey, I want t cme t this thing, this lks like great fun.' " As an rganizatin with a missin t prmte cuntry music, there is anther plus fr the CMA. "It's a chance t give back t the artists by giving sme f them [expsure] n a majr netwrk shw," Bensn says. "Since this shw is ging t air during turing seasn, I think it's ging t create a lt f demand fr cncert tickets." Deatn says the shw shuld als benefit Music City's turism. "The special really shwcases Nashville, and that's imprtant because it's the hme f cuntry music," he says. "Hpefully, the televisin shw will mean mre peple cming t Nashville, which wuld help turism and the businesses dwntwn. This will be a nice shw piece fr the city, and everyne can benefit frm it." -un r Music BMG, EMM Make Gains BY PHYLLIS STARK NASHVILLE -BMG and EMI Music Marketing enjyed grwth spurts in the first half f the year, while Universal Music & Vide Distributin, WEA and Sny all experienced market share declines. UMVD remained the tp distributr f cuntry albums with a 9.6% share, accrding t Nielsen SundScan. But it was ff frm the.% share it basted in the first half f 00 (see chart).

BMG came n strng in secnd place, rising t a.% share in the first half f the year frm a 7.% share in the same perid last year.

Hwever, BMG was dwn frm its first - quarter share f 9 %. Despite building sales fr new Warner Brs. act Big & Rich, WEA was ff at.6% market share in the first half, dwn frm 6.9% fr the same perid last year. But WEA is up slightly frm the % share it earned in the first quarter f the year. Sny, meanwhile, dipped t.% in the first half f 00, dwn frm 8.% last year. This was in spite f strng debuts by Gretchen Wilsn's first album, "Here fr the Party," and Mntgmery Gentry's "Yu D Yur Thing" late in the perid. But Sny imprved frm the 0.7% share it had in first - quarter 00. EMM, meanwhile, rse frm 7.% in 00 t 9% fr the six - mnth perid, largely n the cntinuing strength f Keith Urban's nearly - year -ld album "Glden Rad." EMM is up frm its 8.7% first quarter share.

30 Music billbard dicks ALBUMS Edited by Michael Paletta NEW & NOTEWORTHY RICKY FANTE Rewind PRODUCER: Jsh Deutsch Virgin RELEASE DATE: July Ricky Fanté vercmes the exaggerated cmparisns t such great male sul singers as Otis Redding and Sam Cke. On "Rewind," Fanté and writing partner Jesse Harris (Nrah Jnes) manage the delicate task f remaining true t sul traditin withut wallwing in cliché. Sure, eches f Cke ( "Drive "), Redding ( "Let Yu C") and Slmn Burke ( "If It's Lve ") can be heard. But s, t, can sprinkles f Van Mrrisn and the Yung Rascals. Fanté has his wn thing ging: He desn't take the shrt cut t airplay by cvering any sul classics; instead, he cnfidently creates his wn rad fr a new time and place. His talent cuts acrss musical categries: Even CMT has a Fanté link n its Web site, suggesting that while '60s -style Suthern sul may sund like a narrw niche in 00, Fanté culd make it mass appeal.-wr POP ATREYU The Curse PRODUCER: GGGarth Victry VR8 RELEASE DATE: June 9 Orange Cunty's Atreyu takes its name frm a character in the 98 fantasy mvie "The Neverending Stry." This sphmre album establishes the band as ne f a handful f yung turks emerging at the frefrnt f heavy music. Atreyu brrws elements f hardcre, the tw- guitar attack f British heavy metal and the screamed/ sung dynamic f em. While slightly lacking in riginality, the band's musical hybrid sptlights musicianship and energy. Vcalist Alex Varkatzas' screams can fuel a msh pit, and drummer Brandn Saller's vcals give Atreyu a sht f meldy, with the blend best -demnstrated n "Right Side f the Bed," "Bleeding Mascara" and "The Crimsn." The band's 00 debut, "Suicide Ntes & Butterfly Kisses," has sld mre than 00,000 cpies. With the act n this summer's Ozzfest tur, The Curse" shuld easily surpass that figure. -BT * JESSE MALIN The Heat PRODUCER: Jesse Malin Artemis RELEASE DATE: June 9 Jesse Malin's secnd sl release finds the frmer D Generatin frntman reflecting n the myriad acquaintances and experiences f life as a turing rck'n'rll musician. Here, Malin leans further int the rtsy rck f cntempraries like Ryan Adams -wh prduced his first pst -D Generatin effrt, "The Fine Art f S e l f -D e s t r u c - E S S E N T I A L R E V I E W S MAROON..0.Acustic PRODUCERS: varius Octne /J RELEASE DATE: June 9 It appears that "it" band Marn can d n wrng. Right nw, with tw hit singles under its belt ( "Harder t Breathe," "This Lve "), the Ls Angeles -based quintet is making nise with new single "She Will Be Lved." S, with the irns ht, the band delivers a live, acustic set. Recrded at New Yrk's Hit Factry in early 00, "..0.Acustic" prves Marn's true merit. Lead vcalist Adam Levine shines brightly n the melanchlic "She Will Be Lved" and sulful "Sunday Mrning." Levine's bandmates -pianist/ guitarist Jesse Carmichael, guitarist James Valentine, bassist Mickey Madden and percussinist Ryan Dusick- deliver the musical gds thrughut the breezy seven -track set. Unfrtunately, the electricity f "This Lve" gets cmpletely lst in the acustic translatin. Still, "..0.Acustic" is a great cmplement t Marn's yung catalg. -RH tin," and wh guests n guitar and vcals here -and Neil Yung's grungy blues /rck. Surging electric guitars, feedback and pwerful perfrmances by Malin's turing band are balanced by ample acustic guitar- and pian -based laments. "The Heat" is, nt surprisingly, steeped in imagery f his hmetwn New Yrk, but Malin's lyrics are sprinkled with direct and blique references t any number f stps n a tur. N matter the setting, Malin's state f mind seems t veer frm the euphria f rck'n'rll t an inescapable lneliness. Overall, it's a slid, unashamedly hnest prtrait. Malin deserves every bit f the recgnitin his pst -D Generatin career is winning him. -CW * MARAH 0,000 Streets Under the Sky PRODUCERS: Serge and Dave Bielank Yep Rc 07 RELEASE DATE: June 9 The kids frm Philly are back with a rck album f the highest magnitude. "0,000 Streets Under the Sky" is the recrd with the muscle t shulder the enrmus prmise shwn by Marah's secnd release ( "Kids in Philly "), ne f the great rck recrds f 000. Dave and Serge Bielank, Marah's musical THE CURE The Cure PRODUCERS: Rss Rbinsn, Rbert Smith Geffen B RELEASE DATE: June 9 Classic Cure titles frm the 980s- "Prngraphy," "Head n the Dr" and "Disintegratin" - are strngly influencing a new generatin f alt -rck acts. Feeding n this fresh enthusiasm, the grundbreaking Gth rck band serves up sme f its mst appealing material in recent memry. "Taking Off" and "(I Dn't Knw What's Ging) On" hark back t the best trtured -pp mments f 99's "Wish." Elsewhere, prducer Rss Rbinsn (Krn, Slipknt) mdernizes the signature Cure sund with muscled basslines n "Lst" and "Us r Them." Nne f this marks a return t glry days fr the band. But there are enugh winning mments t help build excitement amng the newfund fan base and lyalists fr this summer's Curisa festival. -BG brain trust, wrte all tunes here, and the sngs are a cllective valentine t Philadelphia. They serve as an elquent rck tur thrugh a city that Liberty Bell turists will never knw. Particularly righteus stps alng the way include the title track, "Pigen Heart," "Feather Ba," "Freedm Park" and "East." The Bielanks' stellar sng - writing chps put them in the first ranks f tday's bands. Their unfailing ability t rck with cnvictin adds fire t their lyrics while ensuring that Marah's sund is never medicre r mundane. When their hmetwn inspires their music, the Bielanks are Philly's equivalent f New Jersey's Springsteen. -PW COMETS ON FIRE Blue Cathedral PRODUCER:Tim Green Sub Pp 67 RELEASE DATE: July 7 The mniptent Santa Cruz, Calif., band Cmets n Fire unleashes a mighty blast n its first album t achieve wide distributin. As they did n tw previus indie releases, the Cmets mve the earth with an ear - shattering cllectin f psychedeliatinged hard rckers. The guitar frnt THE ROOTS The Tipping Pint PRODUCERS: varius Geffen B00070 RELEASE DATE: July On its sixth studi set, the Philadelphia -based quartet -drummer?uestlve, MC Black Thught, keybardist Kamal and bassist Lenard Hubbard -returns t hip - hp basics. An hmage t Big Daddy Kane and Kl G. Rap, "Bm" finds Black Thught deftly imitating bth MCs. He als takes center stage n lead single "Dn't Say Nuthin." The minimalist track, prduced by Sctt Strch, and its eye -grabbing vide, is garnering much attentin fr the grup. Other highlights include the meldic "Star" and "I Dn't Care" (featuring Dm). Amng the disc's hidden gems is "Din Da Da," which uses Gerge Kranz's early -'80s club smash, "Trmmeltanz (Din Daa Daa)," as a base fr?uestlve t stretch ut n the skins. The result is stunning. "The Tipping Pint," named after Malclm Gladwell's bk f the same name, prves that yu can g hme again. -RH line f Ethan Miller (wh als takes the usually indecipherable vcals) and Ben Chasny (aka Six Organs f Admittance) lays dwn sme f the heaviest axewrk this side f Japan's High Rise. Their snic temblrs are stirred and smeared by echplex mixer Nel Harmnsn. This time arund, the grup thrws in sme '70s prg influences; the results play like an unhly melding f '80s SST Recrds nise jams, the Stges' "Funhuse" and Pink Flyd's "Ummagumma." Wild, unfettered and bne -shatteringly lud, "Blue Cathedral" will stir any fan f extreme guitar mania. -CM UMPHREY'S McGEE Anchr Drps PRODUCER: Umphrey's McGee SCI Fidelity 0006 RELEASE DATE: June 9 Emerging n String Cheese Incident's SCI Fidelity imprint is Chicag's Umphrey's McGee, an esteric cllective that blends acute imprvisatinal instincts with rhythmic prg rck inventiveness. The cmbinatin wrks better than it ught t, and the band has mre discipline than many f its jam -band cunterparts. Fr prf, listen t such ecnmic cuts as the grving "In the Kitchen," the weirdly syncpated "Uncmmn" and the driving, Zappa -esque "Rbt Wrld." The grup can be repetitive in lnger pieces (the six -minute "Plunger "), but it als mesmerizes when sngs are given rm t breathe (the purpseful ndling f the frenetic instrumental "Miss Tinkle's Overture "). Because f the players' fine and versatile musicianship, a lengthy pus like "Wife Sup" and "Pequd," the gentle instrumental that clses the album, are quite interesting. Musically adept and snically adventurus, Umphrey's McGee is a wrthy additin t a burgening scene. Racked by Ryk. -RW R&B/HIP-HOP MIS -TEEQ Mis -Teeq PRODUCERS: varius Reprise 880 RELEASE DATE: July Rising frm the U.K. garage scene with several tp 0 hits, vcal tri Mis -Teeq slinked its way stateside with "Scandalus," currently N. 0 n The Billbard Ht 00, after earning Greatest Gainer sales last issue. Instantly seductive, the sng builds tensin with stuttering strings and a disc siren befre the chrus arrives in sensible shes - turns ut "a little cnversatin, baby" is what these girls are after. The snappy beats and G -rated pillw talk cntinue thrughut the tri's self -titled U.S. debut. Cmpiling tracks frm tw previus U.K. albums, "Mis -Teeq" revels in pp, R &B, dancehall ( "Just Nt Me" featuring Baby Sham) and drum'n'bass lite ( "Dance Yur Cares Away ").

"I'll put my game face n with a smile," Dykes sings n "Future Sightings," which, like numerus sngs here, is steeped in jangly rhythms and sturdy meldies. Like ther bands frm Athens, Ga.

What makes "Mdern Vibe" such a jy fr malletheads is its mderatin. It's plished, but it's gt edge. While Lipner's wn delightful Brazilian -tinged cmpsitins (abut half the tracks) perate in a swinging Bahia f the mind, the cvers really shw the depth f his talent as player and arranger. Al Green's "Let's Stay Tgether" and Stephen Stills' "Lve the One Yu're With" share similar virtues. Lipner, backed by a tp -shelf New Yrk sessin crew, states the meldy quickly, then kicks int gutsy imprvisatins that are crisp and imaginative. Radi shuld dig what Lipner des with Bill Withers' "Ain't N Sunshine "; it's the paradigm f what a mdern vibe shuld sund like.

PRODUCER: Billy Hrtn Blind Pig 09 RELEASE DATE: June 9 Guitarist/vcalist Nick Curran nabbed the W.C. Handy Award fr best new artist in 00. A veteran f the Texas blues /rckabilly circuit -he has tured with Rnny Dawkins, Kim Lenz and Wayne Hancck- Curran is a slick guitarist and a pwerhuse vcalist: a cmbinatin f Brian Set - zer and Bill Haley, hipster haird included. "Player!" is a -sng jaunt thrugh the jump blues and rckabilly sunds f the '0s, but it's certainly nt kitschy. Curran's vibe may be nstalgic, but it's nstalgia with cnvictin. The album's greatest strength is that it captures Curran's immersin in the jump blues /rckabilly traditin. The tunes reflect his cmmitment t the authenticity f thse styles. Nt nly is his material well- chsen, but the recrding was bviusly an ld- schl analg chre that left mst f the electrnic tys n standby. -PW GOSPEL VARIOUS ARTISTS Bishp T.

The album fllws a frmat similar t the tw gspel prjects spawned by Jakes' previus best -selling literary uting, "Wman, Thu Art Lsed" (99). Cmbining strng sngs in a largely adult R &B /gspel vein and sterling perfrmances frm a star -studded rster f artists, the prject is pised t hit the tp f the gspel and cntemprary Christian charts. Highlights include Dnnie McClurkin's "King Inside f Me," Kirk Franklin Si New Breed's "Emtinal" and rkie Micah Stampley's "Take My Life." "He- Mtins" is a perfect balance f exhrtatin and great entertainment. -GE CHRISTIAN CROSSWAY This I Knw PRODUCERS: Michael Sykes, Phil Jhnsn Spring Hill Music Grup RELEASE DATE: June This cllectin marks the third release frm this yung Suthern gspel quartet. Salvatin, heaven, grace and ther tpics are explred in this utstanding cllectin f sngs, penned by sme f Suthern gspel's best -knwn writers. "Unscarred" explains what Jesus did n the crss. Jel Lindsey's "Dn't Pass By" is a pignant plea fr Gd's presence and peace. "Only Because Yu Lve" is a ptent wrship sng. "The Lng Arm f Lve" features Spring Hill labelmates the Oak Ridge Bys. Like the mighty Oaks, this talented quartet has a gift fr bringing great sngs t life thrugh incredibly heartfelt, pwerful perfrmances.-dep VITAL REISSUES THE BLIND BOYS OF ALABAMA I'm a Sldier in the Army f the Lrd PRODUCERS: varius Philadelphia Internatinal /The Right Stuff 989 RELEASE DATE: June 9 With three Grammy Awards in three years, the Blind Bys f Alabama have reached a pinnacle f recgnitin lng- denied them during their 60- plus -year career (which has spawned just as many albums). Nw, the fields are fertile fr bscure Blind Bys reissues: Witness this 98 set cut fr Peace Internatinal, the gspel imprint f Philadelphia Internatinal's sul greats Kenny Gamble & Len Huff. While the frmula f pairing the Bys' definitive gspel vcals with yunger instrumentalists has prven captivating n recent effrts by the grup, this reissue, with nly a few exceptins, is an experiment that simply didn't gel. Althugh cnstitutinally incapable f singing anything prly, the Bys were hpelessly saddled with tired disc rhythms, busy hrn sectins and strings in an apparent attempt t mdernize them. In this case, mdernizatin failed. -GE Billbard,cm Plyphnic Spree, "Tgether We're Heavy" {Hllywd) Rgue Wave, "Out f the Shadw" (Sub Pp) Tanya Dnelly, "Whiskey Tang Ghsts" (AD) SINGLES Edited by Michael Paletta AC ANITA BAKER Yu're My Everything (:0) PRODUCER: Barry J. Eastmnd WRITERS: C. Bne, G. Ridgeway, G. Ridgeway, E. Ridgeway PUBLISHERS: Sctie Music, Ridgeway Sisters Music (ASCAP) Blue Nte (CD prm) Sngstress Anita Baker has been away fr much t lng -0 years, in fact. Frtunately, "Yu're My Everything" -the first peek int the artist's new album ( "My Everything," due Sept. 7) -finds her giving listeners the best that she's gt. This is vintage Baker, with the artist recapturing the warmth and elegance f such nw -classic sngs as "Caught Up in the Rapture" and "Sweet Lve." One f thse rare ne -listen sngs, "Yu're My Everything" reels in listeners with rich rchestral flurishes, a catchy chrus and that vice. Just try ignring the emtin in Baker's vice when she sings, "Just wanna hld yu /Hw I adre yu/yu gt that special tuch." It's fr very gd reasn that smth jazz and adult R &B radi frmats are already champining this ne. -MP POP * TOBY LIGHTMAN Real Lve (:) PRODUCER: Peter Zizz WRITERS: varius PUBLISHERS: varius Lava 0 (CD prm) A highlight f newcmer Lightman's live shw is a dazzling, sul- smacked cver f Mary J. Blige's - year -ld, tp 0 smash "Real Lve." Others - particularly at Lightman's label - must agree. Lightman re- entered the studi and emerged with this sterling remake, which is nw being stripped nt her recently released debut, "Little Things." In Lightman's hands, the track is equal parts pp, flk and hip -hp. Fans f Blige's versin will surely be surprised -at first. But repeated listens reveal a track that sits cmfrtably alngside recent fferings frm Alicia Keys, Did, Sheryl Crw, Teena Marie, Maria Mena and Blige. In ther wrds, this has what it takes t be a multifrmat smash (R &B /hip -hp, AC, tp 0). By taking n such a revered classic, Lightman is surely stepping ut n a limb. But thse that listen with an pen mind will be ryally rewarded. -MP R&B/HIP-HOP LL COOL J Headsprung (:) PRODUCER: Timbaland WRITERS: J.T. Smith, T.

After lying lw fr the bulk f 00, she makes her return n the kid -friendly sundtrack t "The Princess Diaries : Ryal Engagement." Unfrtunately, while the talented vcalist des the best she can with the material presented, the sng is a weak prspect when cmpared t her previus hits ( "A Mment Like This," "Miss Independent "). "Breakaway" sunds mre like an Irish flk sng prpped up with pp prductin than the kind f anthemic material with which Clarksn has wn ver legins f fans. While it's gd t keep name recgnitin ut frnt in a fickle multimedia landscape, this is nt the single t keep the crwn in place. -CT set, "Headsprung" finds the Queens, N.Y., native ding it again; this time arund he tries his hand at the current flavr f the mnth: crunk. The results are mixed. With help frm Timbaland, LL ges uptemp with a kinetic track. Unfrtunately, the verladed beat seems t verpwer the MC. Similarly, the derivative hk ffers little t redeem the sng. That said, R &B /hip -hp radi is embracing the single.

The frmat cmbines classic hits, '80s and current pp music. Nw, Sinclair Bradcasting is amng the cmpanies that have imprted the frmat t the United States. Sinclair has given mdern WROX (96X) Nrflk, Va., PD Michelle Diamnd the cntrls f tw U.S. Bb statins: Nrflk cluster - mate WPYA and KNOB Santa Rsa, Calif.,,000 miles away. Diamnd spke with Airplay Mnitr rck managing editr Brain Teitelman abut the stateside evlutin f the frmat and ding triple -duty prgramming n tw casts. The primary difference between the Bb and Jack frmats is that the frmer plays mre currents, with such acts as Marn, Usher, Jet, Linkin Park and Hbastank sprinkled int the mix. Hwever, in Diamnd's case, "mre" desn't mean "many." Her pair f Bbs crnprise rughly 0% current music. WPYA, which signed n in March, came clse t launching as a triple -A statin. With the demise f triple -A WKOC (the Cast) Nrflk in December, WPYA was slated t cntinue the ld statin's legacy. As meetings n WKOC's directin prgressed, in addressing the music, "we started cming up with all these great recrds that peple dn't play. And that became the questin: `Why can't we play this?' Diamnd says. "At that pint, it stpped being a triple -A and started taking n a life f its wn." KNOB, meanwhile, had been ldies KTOL. Since shifting t Bb, Diamnd says the statin's demgraphic skews slightly mre upper - end than WPYAs. "Santa Rsa is wine cuntry, s the market is a bit lder," she says. "We've eliminated a lt f the urban recrds and put in Seal and Jsh Kelley and mre AC stuff than is n [WPYA]." In prgramming that statin, Diamnd says, "I have t think lder, and I have t think Califrnia. Sme artists are bigger n the West Cast Tuned In, Radi. a By Marc Schiffman mschiffman@billbard.cm than they are n the East Cast." She adds that the tw statins share abut 90% f their libraries. Diamnd has adjusted t prgramming a statin n the ther side f the cuntry frm her hme base. "We have a private netwrk set up, s I can actually listen t it, which was my biggest cncern," she says f KNOB. "I still haven't been ut there." Diamnd's backgrund in mdern rck prgramming has frced her t think differently. "I'm nt breaking new music n the [Bbs]," she says. "We're playing currents, but fr the mst part these sngs are already hits, and I'm just stealing them, which is nice, because that's the ppsite f what happens with WROX." While WROX and WPYA share sme music, Diamnd isn't cncerned abut sharing audience. "Sme f the md- em titles are [n WPYA], but by the time they get there, they are already recurrent r gld n WROX," she says. "We are sharing sme titles, but we've gt peple listening t WPYA frm all demgraphics, all races and all ages." WPYA has evlved since its sign - n. "It changes a little every day," Diamnd says. "There's s much music ut there that has either been frgtten r rck prgrammers have given up n. And hearing the statin and playlist is cmpletely different than seeing it n paper. The currents that we play, even thugh they're new sngs, rtate much slwer." While there is a lt f initial buzz ver Bb, which is essentially a new frmat, the mst challenging task Diamnd faces will be keeping the statins cmpelling and fresh. "Our currents are ging t help, which I'm cunting n," she says. "And we als have a huge library. We have ver,000 sngs in ur library currently rtating right nw, and they're all hit sngs." 0. 0 DIAMOND:THOU SANDS OF HITS BILLBOARD JULY 7, 00

Sales Grw In First -Half 00 Videgame Sundtracks Still Seeking Audience BY BRAM TEITELMAN Nthing beats the visceral thrill f playing a videgame. But labels and gaming cmpanies are hping the thrill f listening t the game's sundtrack will cme clse. "Drivr: The Sundtrack," released in cnjunctin with the multi -platfrm Atari game, is the latest in a string f game sundtracks. But with n breakut success stries paving its way, Epic Recrds' `Drivr" set faces a sales challenge in spite f the game's ppularity. One f the best -selling videgames ever released, "Grand Theft Aut: Vice City" als has ne f the mst ambitius sundtracks. The "Vice City" bxed set, released in 00, cntains seven discs featuring '80s hits frm the virtual radi statins heard in the game. The set has sld 7,000 cpies, accrding t Nielsen SundScan. Each f the seven discs is als available separately; the mst successful vlume, "V- Rck," has sld 6,000 units, accrding t Nielsen SundScan. Between the bxed set and the individual vlumes, `ice City" sundtracks have scanned 8,000 cpies. The nly ther game sundtracks t sell mre than 0,000 cpies are dance -riented "Wipeut XL" and "Tny Hawk Pr Skater " (7,000 and,000, respectively, accrding t Nielsen SundScan). While "Drivr" is the first sundtrack Atari has released n a label, this isn't the first time the game manufacturer has highlighted game music. " `Driver ` had an eight -track CD that we put n the cllectrs' editin f the game," Atari directr f marketing Mike Webster says, "s the franchise has a histry with trying t prmte the music we put n the game." When Atari released "Driver," "the music industry wasn't pen t ding sundtracks based n videgames," Webster says. But by the time the cmpany started wrk n "Drivr," several videgame sundtracks had appeared. Als, Webster says, "we had a lt mre cnsumer research as t what [ur custmers] are interested in, and music is a very large part f hw they spend their time." The "Drivr" sundtrack features an eclectic mix f acts, ranging frm unknwns t such develping acts as Phantm Planet and the Ravenettes t veterans like Iggy & the Stges, wh cntribute the classic "Gimme Danger." Iggy Pp als narrates the CD, intrducing its tracks. The disc includes a dcumentary n the making f the game, narrated by Michael Madsen, wh lent his vice t the game. It als ffers access t a Web site that includes tips and cheat cdes fr the game. Releasing a game sundtrack has ptential benefits fr the label and the game's manufacturer Atari has used sme f the tracks frm the "Drivr" album in trailers and TV spts, accrding t Webster.

36 letail Allegr, NewAge Label Cntinue Their Legal Battle Allegr has wn tentative victries in its nging legal tangle with Ls Angeles -based label Only New Age Music. A U.S. District Curt judge in Oregn has thrwn ut a $96,000 jury award t Only New Age Music. Allegr and the label were invlved in an exchange f lawsuits stemming frm the Prtland, Ore. - based distributr's agreements with the new age firm (Billbard, Oct., 00). Last September -a year after a federal magistrate tssed ut Allegr's claims f cntractual interference -a jury fund that Allegr had created "derivative wrks" frm the prduct it had licensed frm Only New Age Music. Hwever, Judge Dennis James Hubel vided the award. In his pinin, he wrte, "The damages award fr the breach f cntract claim is seriusly flawed and cntrary t the great weight f the evidence." The judge rdered a new trial n the issue f cntractual damages. Only New Age Music's attrney, Neville Jhnsn, is sanguine abut the ruling. "It's nly a questin f hw much mney they're ging t pay," Jhnsn says. "They've lst n the questin f liability." Meanwhile, Charles Plaisance, wh c -prduced the albums at issue in the case, has drpped his wn suit against Allegr, its principals and a lng list f majr retail chains. His attrneys had filed that suit in Califrnia Superir Curt. Plaisance withdrew his claim after Allegr's attrneys filed a mtin fr sanctins against the prducer and his lawyers, claiming the actin was frivlus. Jhnsn, whse firm als represented Plaisance, says that in light f the Oregn actin, Plaisance's filing was "duplicative wrk. We didn't need it." He adds that he believes Only New Age Music will receive an award in excess f the amunt the Oregn jury riginally granted. DISSENTING OPINION: Agnes "Sis" Cunningham was a defiant- The Indies. By Chris Mrris ly independent figure in the American flk music mvement as a perfrmer, prducer and magazine publisher. Cunningham died June 7 in a New Paltz, N.Y., nursing hme. She was 9. Brn in Watnga, Okla., Cunningham mved t New Yrk in 9 with her husband, Grdn Friesen. With Pete Seeger and Wdy Guthrie, she played and recrded in the Almanac Singers, ne f the first grups t adapt traditinal flk material. She later perfrmed with Snny Terry and Brwnie McGhee and, as the Almanacs, with Guthrie and Cisc Hustn. In 96, with Friesen, Seeger and his wife Tshi and Gil Turner, Cunningham funded Bradside, a magazine devted t the burgening cntemprary flk scene. Scially cnscius, tpical and left -leaning, Bradside was the first t publish sngs by Bb Dylan, Phil Ochs, Tm Paxtn, Malvina Reynlds, Peter LaFarge and many ther ntables. The magazine published 87 issues befre it flded in 988. Cunningham and Friesen als recrded flk artists in their New Yrk apartment. Mses Asch released albums fr Flkways Recrds during the '60s under the Bradside Ballads banner. In 000, Smithsnian Flkways Recrdings released a five -CD bxed set, "The Best f Bradside " (Billbard, July, 000). It received tw Grammy Award nminatins. As mre than ne bserver has nted, Cunningham's label and magazine endeavrs were fundamentally abut artistic and plitical dissent. In these times, Bradside's feisty apprach t flk balladry remains as pertinent as ever. IRIS IN BLOOM: San Francisc - based IRIS Distributin has frged new pacts with several indie labels t represent their wares in the digital marketplace. IRIS has signed agreements with Fat Pssum Recrds, K, Megafrce /MRI, Mnlake/ Imbalance, Orthlrng Musrk and the Agriculture t handle digital distributin and encding f their prduct.

In the past, Epitaph cut a deal t distribute the Hives thrugh Warner Brs. Recrds. Hansen says the new deal des nt include prvisins fr upstreaming albums but makes it easier t d that thrugh a WMG prperty. When the new deal kicks in, Epitaph will issue albums frm Tm Waits, Nick Cave, Ellitt Smith and Nek Case. SUPER ONE -STOP: Super D in Irvine, Calif., has just signed a new tw -year, $0 millin revlving credit facility with PNC Bank, reprts Bruce Ogilvie, cwner /president f Super D. Inventry will secure the revlver. The cmpany previusly had $ millin in credit split between GE Credit fr Super D and GMAC fr Phantm, the whlesaler Super D acquired in Octber 00. Speaking f the Phantm acquisitin, Super D has cmpleted the relcatin f that cmpany frm Huntingtn Beach, Calif., t its Irvine facility, including upgrading systems t handle Phantm's direct -t- cnsumer business. The cmpany, which nw has 6 emplyees, expects sales f $90 millin this year, Ogilvie says. THE SCORE: Atreyu's "The Curse" managed t scre Victry Recrds nt nly its biggest debut week but its biggest week ever. The album scanned,000 units, accrding t Nielsen SundScan, gd enugh t enter The Billbard 00 at N.. "The Curse" n dubt was blessed Retail Track.. s By Ed Christman echristmarr@billbard.cm by a multimedia marketing campaign that Victry put behind the album t build n the rising ppularity f the band (Billbard, July ). But even with that auspicius debut, Victry leader Tny Brummel was hping fr better. "It wuld have been nice t get the sales ttals smewhere in the 0s," Brummel says. "But we knew Saturday wuld be the wild card. Wuld the peple be in the stres r in their cars, trains and planes n their way t barbecues and parties? We were ding the Victry rain dance." That may have wrked in Chicag, but the rest f the cuntry had sunny skies and smewhat empty stres during the July weekend. Meanwhile, Victry caught sme flack fr giving Best Buy, in the wrds f the Music Mnitr Netwrk, "a superir versin" f "The Curse." I dn't knw what went n between MMN and Victry, but the intr t the calitin's weekly chart says, "Atreyu did surprisingly well, cnsidering the 'superir' versin f the Atreyu CD that Best Buy received. All is gd nw, thugh, as Victry has made it clear that they will NOT be creating any mre 'superir CDs' fr mass merchants." Victry head f sales Ramsey Dean (wh frmerly went by the surname Jabbar) cnfirms the MMN reprt. But he adds that the bnus track and vide n the Best Buy Atreyu CD are bth available n the label's Web site (victryrecrds.cm), s all fans can access them. Sundtracks Cntinued frm page 7 drivr.cm, that uses music frm the sundtrack' Any vide asset we put ut that requires a music element t it, Epic has been gracius enugh t allw us t utilize the music in thse cases." Atari will get additinal juice frm Epic's marketing. 'We are ging t be taking advantage f a lt f direct -tcnsumer marketing that Epic already des," Webster says. Epic's street team will distribute sample CDs with music and game cntent. The label plans t invlve radi as well, with tie -ins in the tp 0 markets. Epic will spearhead thse campaigns with Atari prviding prizes. SHIFTED SYNERGY It's clear that tw tp names are bringing their muscle t this prgram. Less clear is hw much f a return n the investment they will get. Jhn Franck, VP f marketing at Kch, believes videgame sundtracks have huge ptential "if bth cmpanies wrk tgether t create synergy and marketing visibility." Kch released its first videgame sundtrack, "True Crime: Streets f L.A.," last year. The set, which features West Cast rap, has sld,000 cpies, accrding t Nielsen SundScan. Franck praises "True Crime" publisher Activisin, but adds, "the synergy wasn't quite there. [The sundtrack] was a rush release that we tried t get ut in time t piggyback ff the sales f the videgame. "When I first went ut t L.A. t discuss the sundtrack," he cntinues, "[Activisin] already had 90% f their marketing plan in mtin. [Videgame publishers] wrk n much lnger lead times than we d in the recrd business." Aside frm different lead times, sundtrack sales might suffer because players dn't necessarily want t cntinue the game experience thrugh music. "Just because yu have a sundtrack in a game," ne music executive says, "desn't necessarily mean that the audience that bught that game will g ut and supprt yet anther prduct that has the music frm the game." The executive, wh wrks at a label that has yet t release a videgame sundtrack, says that placing a sng in a game is the best way fr labels t cllabrate with game -makers. "The games themselves are phenmenal vehicles fr music expsure and als surces f revenue fr the labels, because the game cmpanies pay us fr thse tracks. "On paper," the executive adds, "it seems like [a game sundtrack] shuld wrk, since it des fr films, but they seem nt t sell." The executive pints ut that players have already heard a game's sngs repeatedly. "When we market a sundtrack fr a film, it's an experience where yu see the film and hear the music," the executive says, "but yu see the film nce, nt 60 times. "I'm a gamer, and I'll hear a sng ver and ver again, s I may actually already feel like I wn the sundtrack." Franck says placing new r exclusive material in games wuld help the subsequent sundtrack sell. "There's n way t rip sngs ff a videgame," he says. "S yu want t make the [game's] sngs unreleased r new and make them sngs that peple want t have and wn. "If, fr example, a bunch f pp/ rck bands like Gd Charltte and New Fund Glry [are] n this sundtrack, and [it's] the nly place yu can buy that unreleased, new, cl sng, then kids are ging t want t buy it." Franck als thinks price is a factr. "Kids are mre than happy t spend $0 t buy the videgame, but why wuld they spend anther $8.98 t buy the sundtrack? "If a game sundtrack was $6.99, with unreleased tracks r B- sides, peple wuld buy it," Franck adds. "But n ne's dne that yet, which makes it an unprven entity." Sales success fr a game sundtrack, like any album, requires a cmbinatin f quality material and gd timing. Fr Kch, any future videgame sundtracks `wuld have t be smething where we're clearly invlved frm the nset f the prject, which is 0 t 0 days ut," Franck says. "It's als abut the quality f the music, the quality f the artist and the availability f the sngs."

40 Sngwriters & Publishers `De- Lvely' Stars De -Music The new Cle Prter bipic "De- Lvely" received mixed reviews, t put it kindly. "De- lusy," chrtled the Ls Angeles Times, while Stephen Hlden in The New Yrk Times called it "lethally inert" and "painfully cntrived," slamming mst f the interpretatins f Prter sngs by cntemprary singers including Elvis Cstell ( "Let's Misbehave "), Alanis Mrissette ( "Let's D It, Let's Fall in Lve ") and Sheryl Crw ( "Begin the Beguine") as "labred [and] self -cnscius," if nt "awful." I, f curse, lved every minute f it. I saw cnnectins with "Chicag," "Mulin Ruge" and "Tpsy -Turvy" in the way sngs are cinematically incrprated int plt. "Music is the star f the pictureas I'm fnd f saying," says Cle Prter Trust trustee Peter Felcher, wh was invlved in the cntractual arrangements with the film's prducers. "S I was delighted that [c -prducer /directr] Irwin Wmkler tk that view in presenting a lve stry abut Cle Prter and the jy and pain f being Cle Prter, but first and fremst, the music f Cle Prter - and I lve the way it's interpreted." PORTER: A COMPLICATED LIFE Felcher feels the film was "accurate and true t the spirit f wh Cle Prter was and what his life was like," particularly in regard t Prter's jie de vivre -as cnveyed by Kevin Kline -and the physical and emtinal pain he faced fllwing his crippling hrseback riding accident. "I bviusly knew this wuldn't be `Night and Day, Part,' " cntinues Felcher, referring t the 96 Prter bipic starring Cary Grant that was pure Hllywd hkum. "I knew it wuld be very frank abut wh Cle Prter was in his devtin and lve fr his wife, Linda [beautifully played by Ashley Judd], but als the fact that he was a gay man, and the tensin that it created n the relatinship and that they were strng enugh t withstand it. I hped this wuld be presented in a frthright but understanding and sensitive way, and it was." But Felcher als saw "De- Lvely" as a great pprtunity t intrduce the Prter catalg t new listeners thrugh perfrmances by current recrding artists. "Irwin really had carte blanche t mine the catalg," Felcher says, "but we felt very cmfrtable being in his hands." Wrds& LIST CM. By Jim Bessman / ` jbessman@billbard.cm Winkler -wh previusly prduced the film musicals "New Yrk, New Yrk" and the 986 Dexter Grdn bipic " 'Rund Midnight" -says, "I'm a great, great fan f Cle Prter." Having grwn up listening t greats like Frank Sinatra and Ella Fitzgerald singing the Prter sngbk, Winkler "jumped at the chance" t make "De- Lvely," he says. "But I als knew a bit abut his life -which was very cmplicated - and the relatinship with his wife. I said I'd d it nly with n restrictins and with [the trust's] cperatin. They said fine because I said frm the very beginning that the way t tell the stry was t use the music. He wrte s many great sngs that if yu put them in the cntext f his life, they culd shw the stry." Winkler says he is als a big fan f Jerme Kern and Irving Berlin. (Berlin -played by Keith Allen -is shwn encuraging Prter in "De- Lvely. ") "But Prter was special because f the sphisticatin and intricacies f the lyrics," he ntes, "and then I + WINKLER: DIRECTEDTHE PORTER BIOPIC studied his music and fund it was just as intricate. `What Is This Thing Called Lve?' [perfrmed in the film by Lemar] is almst in a minr key, and in Ev'ry Time We Say Gdbye' [sung by Natalie Cle], it changes t a minr key when she sings `hw strange the change frm majr t minr.' " Winkler adds that while his film uses mre than 0 Prter tunes, "he wrte,00 -s we nly scratched the surface." Felcher at first "culdn't imagjne" hw Winkler wuld translate Prter's sngs and stry int a new film bigraphy. Then Winkler instructed him t see "Mulin Ruge." "It was wise that he didn't present the sngs in chrnlgical rder, but crdinated them with the actin," Felcher adds. Citing recent revivals f "Anything Ges" and "Kiss Me, Kate," Felcher nw lks fr "De- Lvely" t further "put Prter's music in frnt f a whle new generatin." "I'm tld the week the [Sny Music Sundtrax] sundtrack came ut, five ther Cle Prter CDs were released," he says. "We're ding ur darndest with ur publisher Warner/ Chappell t ensure that the catalg stays in the frefrnt." Warner /Chappell, incidentally, has a three -CD, 79 -track Prter set, "The Sngs f Cle Prter," that it cmpiled a few years back fr prmtinal purpses. GIVING IT UP FOR GREG: Red Huse Recrds president Bb Feldman reprts that the Greg Brwn cllectin, "Ging Driftless: An Artist's Tribute t Greg Brwn," has raised mre than $60,000 fr The Breast Cancer Fund. The influential singer /sngwriter had requested that prceeds frm the disc, which features nly female artists, including Lucinda Williams (wh earned a 00 Grammy Award nminatin fr her versin f Brwn's "Lately ") and Brwn's three daughters, be dnated t TBCF in memry f his friend Widdie Hall. The funder f the legendary Peterbrugh, N.H., listening rm the Flkway died frm the disease. "Over the years wmen have started singing Greg's sngs and pened them up and have shwn what an incredible sngwriter he is," says Feldman, wh has issued sme 7 Brwn albums in 0 years. "I thught it wuld be interesting t g t wmen whm I knew hld him in high esteem and ask them t recrd their favrite Greg Brwn sng." Nashville Studis See Light Skeds This mnth, sme,000 prfessinals in the pr audi and musical instrument manufacturing and retailing industries will cnvene in Nashville fr the Internatinal Music Prducts Assn.'s (NAMM) Summer Sessin. The three -day cnfab will take place July - at the Nashville Cnventin Center. Factrs such as peer -t -peer file sharing and CD burning, a sluggish ecnmy and the unprecedented quality allwed by inexpensive digital recrding equipment have had significant negative impact n the cmmercial recrding industry. Despite that, an abundance f recrding hardware and sftware will be n display at NAMM.

"There's certainly a lt mre peple, as everywhere, wrking in smaller studis r in their hme t d larger and larger parts f their prjects," says Jim Kaiser, directr f technlgy at Nashville -based mastering and DVD authring facility MasterMix. Kaiser is incming chairman f the Nashville chapter f the Audi Engineering KAISER: NEW AES CHAIRMAN IN NASHVILLE Sludl M O ni O r.. Sciety. He was elected at the chapter's June 9 meeting, held at the studis f Nashville Public Televisin. "The large studis are still in existence," he cntinues. "Sme f them have adjusted what they d t accmmdate what peple are ding. But it's safe t say that [the recrding industry] isn't as healthy as it was thrugh 998, maybe even up t 000." Kaiser adds that there is n lnger the nce -predictable cycle r By Christpher Walsh cwalsh@billbard.cm f release schedules. "Over the last year, there were nt as many releases as there had been in previus years," he says. "That slws things dwn a bit everywhere." As Kaiser ntes, while Nashville certainly isn't the nly market in which the cmmercial recrding industry is struggling, the atmsphere f Music City's mid- and late -990s bm has cled cnsiderably. "I can't say it's getting a lt busier," says Janet Leese, studi manager f the Sund Kitchen, a seven -rm facility in Franklin, Tenn. In 00, San Antni -based cnglmerate Westn Entertainment acquired a majr stake in the Sund Kitchen (Studi Mnitr, Billbard, Sept. 6, 00). Other lcal studis have taken n partnerships, mst ntably Ocean Way, which Belmnt University acquired in 00. "We've gt s many rms t fill every day," Leese adds. "Next week, we're slammed -every rm is full -but this week is kind f quiet. Overall, it's abut the same." One significant reasn fr this, Leese says, is that "there's just n verdub business. All the prducers have their [recrding] rigs at hme, and they d vcals [there]. S the fill -in stuff isn't there. We're getting tracking [sessins] and sme mixing.

The wrldwide cst-cuffing regimen impsed by Warner Music Grup's new wners, a cnsrtium led by Edgar Brnfman Jr., has given extra impetus t the restructuring at Warner Music Japan. Rutherfrd began the revamp after he became respnsible fr WMJ in late 00. At the time, WMJ had 00 emplyees. Rutherfrd says the staff will number abut 7 by the end f August. Meanwhile, the label has slashed its dmestic artist rster frm mre than 00 t rughly 0 acts. "This [Japanese] market has lst ver 0% f its value since 999," Rutherfrd says, "and there's been nthing but csmet- ic changes inside Japanese recrd cmpanies. Yu've gt blated rsters, verstaffing, inefficiency thrughut rganizatins. 'We are lking fr a mdern platfrm," he adds. "One that is able t embrace the physical market and als the new digital pprtunities. Outside Japan, Rutherfrd says he has reduced Warner's headcunt in Asia by 0% since January. "I haven't dne this restructuring just t reduce csts. That's ny a means t an end, which is rebuilding the business." Integral t Rutherfrd's verhaul f WMJ was the decisin t assemble a new executive team, headed by WMJ president Takashi Yshida. He reprts t Rutherfrd, wh is als WMJ chairman/ceo. Since his appintment in 00, Yshida has hired a number f executives frm Sny Music Entertainment (Japan) label DefStar Recrds, where he was previusly president. DefStar has enjyed dmes =ic success with a rster f Japanese pp, r J -pp, acts. "Warner Music Japan has never been successful at J -pp, and if yu're nt in J- pp here, yu're nt in business," Rutherfrd says. 'There's nt ne senir executive wh's survived in [WMJ] frm when I tk ver in 00," he adds. 'We needed a yung, mdem frnt line. The biggest issue I've had is with management perfrmance, nt with peple n the grund." Rutherfrd describes the new WMJ as "a very fcused, creative" recrd cmpany.

44 GIVaI Malaysia Wn't G Lw Gv't Discards Price Cntrls In Favr Of Other Anti Piracy Actin BY CHRISTIE LEO KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia -The music industry here is welcming a gvernment decisin t scrap a price -cntrl scheme fr CDs and vide CDs. Originally set t g int effect Jan., the price cntrls were delayed until April, then pstpned indefinitely fllwing Malaysia's general electin at the end f March. The lcal music industry had strngly ppsed the cntrls, which the gvernment intended as an anti -piracy measure. The music piracy level in Malaysia is mre than 0 %, accrding t the Internatinal Federatin f the Phngraphic Industry. Dmestic trade and cnsumer affairs minister Shafie Apdal says the Malaysian gvernment became cnvinced that "setting lwer ceiling prices fr CDs and VCDs wuld nt reslve the piracy prblem; cnsumers will cntinue t buy the lwer - priced pirated prduct." The decisin t scrap the plan fllwed mnths f discussins with distributrs, manufacturers, retailers and cnsumers. CHOY: LABELS WANTTO WORK WITH GOV'TTO END PIRACY The change in thinking "shws that the minister understands ur business and is aware f ur plight," says Darren Chy, chairman f the Recrding Industry f Malaysia and managing directr f EMI Malaysia. 'This decisin will send a strng message t the pirates that the gvernment is unswerving in its effrt t prtect the legitimate industry." Sandy Mnteir, managing directr f Universal Malaysia, adds, "The gvernment's respnse is a strng testimnial t fair trade." Implementing the plan at the retail level wuld have been "difficult and unmanageable," Apdal says. "As music is a nnessential item, we will leave it t market frces t decide n fair pricing." Apdal says the gvernment intends t tackle piracy thrugh strnger enfrcement f existing legislatin and the intrductin f heavier penalties fr thse cnvicted f the crime. The riginal gvernment prpsal (Billbard, Oct., 00) wuld have fixed retail prices at $.0 fr lcally manufactured CDs and $7.60 fr imprted CDs; lcal and internatinal VCDs wuld have been set at $.60. Current prices fr lcally manufactured CDs range frm $.0 t $.80; internatinal CDs cst $7.80 t $6.0. Lcal VCDs carry prices between $.0 and $.0, while internatinal VCDs cst $.0 t $.70. The lcal industry has agreed t a gvernment suggestin that it intrduce tw mnth -lng reduced -price sales campaigns each year. MONTEIRO: SALES CAMPAIGNS WILL HELP BUSINESS The first begins July 6 with discunts in excess f 0 %, accrding t Apdal. The sales campaign "allws us t grw ur business," Mnteir says, "while giving cnsumers an pprtunity t buy riginal prduct at discunted prices." Chy ntes that labels will run ther price -cutting campaigns thrughut the year "t make riginal prduct affrdable t music fans. "Our pririty is t cntinue supprting and wrking clsely with the gvernment in eradicating piracy," Chy adds. "Our market has been severely hurt by piracy. Only strnger enfrcement will slve the prblem -and we're cmmitted t making that happen." NEWSLINE..

Anti -Piracy Prject Tagged 'Racist' Warner Cntinued frm page BY HOWELL LLEWELLYN A dispute ver alleged racism has marred the launch f an album intended t raise public awareness f piracy in Spain. The anti -piracy CD, "N a la Piratería," is a jint prject f Barcelna -based indie label Vale Music and authrs and publishers' sciety SGAE. The set cntains sngs by unsigned and unpublished artists. Vale released the CD June 8 in cperatin with SGAE's nnprfit imprint, Factría Autr. The Vale -authred liner ntes say street vendrs f illegal CDs are "getting rich by trafficking with the talent and effrt f thers." The text als says the majrity f the vendrs are illegal immigrants. "Immigrants knw that Spain is a sft tuch, mre and mre are cming," it says. "They earn mre selling a kilgram f recrds than a kil f hashish." Anti- racist grup SOS Racism n June asked SGAE and Vale t withdraw the album because f the text's "scial racism." SGAE agreed immediately and called n Vale t remve the text. SGAE als aplgized publicly fr allwing itself t be assciated with alleged racism. Hwever, Vale president Ricard Campy says the label has n intentin f withdrawing the text. "It is nt ffensive r racist," Campy says. "It reflects the reality f the suffering in the music industry, and SGAE's wn statistics shw that 99.7% f all peple arrested fr selling these CDs are immigrants. "Piracy has brught the music industry [in Spain] t a situatin f pre -cllapse," Campy adds. "If it cntinues, we face ttal cllapse. Spain is Third Wrld in piracy, n a CAMPOY: DENIES LINER NOTES HAVE RACIST INTENT par with cuntries like the Ukraine r China." If Vale wuld nt withdraw the text, the SGAE cuntered, it must remve the lgs f Factría Autr and SGAE prmtinal divisin Fundación Autr that appear n the CD cver. MISSING THE MARK Pedr Farré, directr f SGAE's ffice fr the defense f intellectual prperty, admits, "We put ur ft in it by nt reading the text befre the [album launch]. When Vale came t us with the anti -piracy idea, we thught it was attractive. "The idea f the CD is t make peple aware that piracy is theft," he cntinues. "[It is] run by rganized crime, is a scial evil and is causing great harm t artists. "Ever since SGAE began its anti - piracy campaign three years ag," Farré adds, "we have never wanted t criminalize immigrants. We think the street vendrs are inncent victims f rganized gangs that explit them and take advantage f their precarius situatin in the cuntry." He adds that SGAE and SOS Racism plan t meet early this mnth t discuss "jint cllabratins n culture and immigratin." As SGAE has disassciated itself frm the text, the grup cnsiders the dispute with Vale t be a thing f the past, Farré says. Javier López, music sales manager at Fnac's flagship Madrid stre, says the retailer will nt withdraw the CD, despite the cntrversy. "It's barely selling, in any case," he adds. Campy cnfirms that the CD sld fewer than,000 cpies in its first three weeks. Vale has been ne f the few success stries in the Spanish music industry during the past tw years, thanks t its link with the ppular TV talent shw "Operación Triunf." in the same part f the city. He cnfirms that WMJ has held talks with ther labels abut setting up a jint sales team, but the cmpany will retain its wn sales frce fr the time being. As fr the rest f the regin, Warner is already utsurcing physical distributin in Taiwan, Hng Kng and Singapre, and it will d s shrtly in Suth Krea. "We left ur A&R capability intact arund the regin," Rutherfrd says. 'We have cnducted this restructuring withut sacrificing any f ur strategic interests r gals in either internatinal r dmestic repertire." "Even in the middle f the restructuring prgram, we've brken tw Chinese acts in the last tw mnths," he says, referring t Hng Kng -based singer Fina Sit and Taiwanese band FIR Rutherfrd says Sit is Hng Kng's best -selling new artist this year; as fr FIR, he says WMJ shipped 0,000 cpies f its debut album, "Fairyland in Reality," in fur weeks -and that was in'i`aiwan alne.

The [TV] ratings have cntinually gne up every year." CAA lks first at majr- market cities and then cntestants' hmetwns when selecting the rute. Steve Tadlck, directr f the Save Mart Center in Fresn, Calif., says that because a few f the finalists are Califrnia residents, "we feel pretty gd that we shuld have reginal appeal." Last seasn's ticket sales sared in the Carlinas because f Raleigh, N.C., native Aiken's hmetwn status. Fellw Nrth Carlinian Fantasia is expected t have the same draw in the market. Rathwell says the tur will fllw the same frmat f past seasns, with the finalists perfrming as a grup and DeGarm and Fantasia clsing ut the / hur set. Thugh the Gaylrd Entertainment Center will hst Aiken July during his sl tur -exactly ne mnth befre the "Idl" trupe perfrms n the same stage - Wley says that s far he hasn't seen the tw turs cmpeting with each ther. RCA released the cmpilatin "American Idl Seasn : Greatest Sul Classics" in May. The set debuted at N. 0 n The Billbard 00, but it was the first "Idl" cmpilatin nt t debut in the tp five. The first seasn's cllectin debuted at N., while the secnd - seasn CD bwed at N.. CAA isn't yet planning an ffsht sl tur frm this seasn, but Frasc says the firm has definite plans t cntinue bking upcming seasns. He hpes that the "Idl" franchise will cntinue "fr anther five years r mre." BILLBOARD JULY 7, 00

I bw fr Atreyu n Independent Albums lights big rck week Chwts 6 Tim McGraw makes fast climb t N. n nce -slw cuntry chart Banks Breaks Billbard 00 Fr the third week in a rw, a resident f Tp R &BfHip -Hp Albums bws at N. n The Billbard 00, the latest being Llyd Banks, a member f 0 Cent's psse, G -Unit. With,000 cpies sld in the first week, Banks has mre than a -t - lead ver Usher, wh nnetheless hlds strng. Althugh practically flat last week, Usher's "Cnfessins" remains at N. with a drp f less than %. Banks' sl album utperfrms the best sales week f G- Unit's "Beg fr Mercy" (77,000 cpies), released late last year. It peaked at N. n bth lists. Banks shuld feel at hme atp the big chart, as each f its tp six albums als appear n the R &B/hip -hp rll call. And he might as well get cmfrtable, because with n real threat in the July 6 release slate, we expect he'll lead The Billbard 00 again next week. Even if his "The Hunger fr Mre" sees a 60% decline in week tw, as rap albums ften d after a big start, that wuld still leave him with arund 7,000, a slid sht t lead next issue's chart. Besides, Banks' slpe might be less extreme. Witness Jadakiss. After starting at N. with 6,000 cpies n last issue's Billbard 00, his sphmre album sees a 0% drp, a smaller decline than rap and rck recrds ften see after a huge arrival (N.,,000 cpies). Brandy and Lil Wayne reinfrce the big chart's R &B/hip -hp flavr, with the frmer utselling the latter by a % margin. Brandy starts at N. with,000, dwn abut % frm her third album's pening sum in 00. At N., Lil Wayne's start is als ff the pace he had tw years ag, as the new set's 6,000 cpies are dwn almst 8% frm his third album's pening frame. Over the Cunter.

The third -seasn runner -up finds her first single pening at N., the third -highest bw f 00. The nly sngs that have debuted higher this year were als by "Idl" finalists. Last issue, third -seasn winner Fantasia entered at N. with "I Believe" (J). The week f April, secnd -seasn runner -up Clay Aiken debuted at N. with "Slitaire." The last sng nt assciated with a TV series t debut inside the tp f the Ht 00 was Janet Jacksn's "All fr Yu," a new entry at N. the week f March 7, 00. Tw weeks after Jacksn's sng debuted, "Get Over Yurself' by Eden's Crush entered at N. 8. The female quintet frm the first seasn f the "Ppstars" TV series turned ut t be a ne -hit wnder. Since "Get Over Yurself," nly six sngs have debuted inside the tp, and all have been by "American Idl" cntestants. Aside frm the three 00 tunes t debut in the tp, the thers were "Gd Bless the U.SA" by the secnd -seasn American Idl Finalists (a N. debut the week f May, 00), "This Is the Night" by Aiken (a N. debut the week f June 8, 00) and "Flying Withut Wings" by secnd -seasn winner Ruben Stud - dard (a N. debut the week f June 8, 00). DeGarm is ne f three "Idl" singers n the current Ht 00, and all are wmen. Fantasia falls -6 with "I Believe," and Kimberley Lcke rebunds 9-87 with "8th Wrld Wnder." DeGarm is als ne f tw cntestants frm the NBC -TV series "America's Mst Talented Kid" t chart n this issue's Ht 00. Three rungs belw "Dreams," - year -ld JJ is N. 7 with "Leave (Get Out)" (Da Family/Blackgrund). Chart Beat. By Fred Brnsn fbrnsn@billbard.cm COLOR ME WRONG: Last issue I mentined that Sam Watters, cwriter f Fantasia's "I Believe," was enjying his first N. n The Billbard Ht 00. I shuld have added "under his wn name," because Watters has tw previus chart- tppers t his credit. As a member f Clr Me Badd, Watters was lumped in with the grup's credit fr writing "I Adre Mi Amr" in 99 and "All Lve" in 99. RELIGHT HIS FIRE: The -6 drp f Fantasia's "I Believe" allws Usher t reclaim the tp tw spts n The Billbard Ht 00 with "Bum" (LaFace) and "Cnfessins Part II," respectively. "Bum" is in its eighth week at N.. Add the weeks that "Yeah!" was n tp, and Usher sets a new recrd with 0 weeks at N. in a calendar year, the mst weeks n tp by ne artist in a calendar year since the Ht 00 was intrduced in 98. Usher pushes past the 9 -week recrd previusly set by Puff Daddy in 997. Drpping t third place with 8 weeks at N. in a calendar year are Mnica (in 998) and the Beatles (in 96). BIRTHDAY GREETINGS: It was suppsed t be "many years frm nw," but Ring Starr turned 6 July 7. He was 6 when the Beatles recrded "When I'm Sixty- Fur." BILLBOARD JULY 7,

Like Breaking Benjamin, bth rck n the harder side. Atreyu earns the distinctin f garnering the biggest SundScan week -,000 cpies-f any indiedistributed title in the histry f Victry (see Retail Track, page 9). Likewise, Unearth gives Metal Blade its best SundScan week fr an independent release and als its first Billbard 00 listing since 996, when Cannibal Crpse's "Vile" lgged ne week at N.. Fr further bragging rights, Atreyu's "The Curse" reaches N. n Tp Independent Albums, and Unearth's "Oncming Strm" enters Tp Heatseekers at N., the first time either band's label has led either f thse charts. SLUGGING PERCENTAGE: Imagine a batter getting fur hme runs and a triple in ne game. Such an analgy sums up Dave Matthews Band's perfrmance n Tp Music Vides, as its DVD /CD cmb "The Grge" becmes the furth N. in five tries. The nly DMB vide t miss the highest rung was last year's "The Central Park Cncert," which settled fr N. behind the bw f Linkin Park's "Live in Texas." Until nw, "Central Park" wned the band's best week fr a vide prduct; it pened with 7,000 cpies. This is the first f thse five t cme packaged with ne r mre CDs. UNE DRIVES: Last issue's pst - Father's Day valley marked the first time in Big & Rich's eight chart weeks that they did nt see a gain, but their winning streak returns. With a % spike, the du wins the Greatest Gainer awards n Tp Cuntry Albums (N. ) and The Billbard 00 ( -). While still grwing at radi, where "Save a Hrse (Ride a Cwby)" gets spins frm all but tw f the statins n the Ht Cuntry Singles & Tracks panel (and mves 8-7 n that chart), tw cable channels pwer the haul. The sng's videclip played times during the tracking week at CMT, up frm fur the prir week. And ESPN is using the track in its cverage f the Wrld Series f Pker. Meanwhile, Lenny Kravitz cntinues t grw, thanks t Target spts featuring "Baptism" and an exclusive ER The new album ticks 7-69 n the big chart, its secnd straight gain since the campaign began, while his "Greatest Hits" advances -0 n Tp Pp Catalg. With 7,000 units sld (up 7%), this is the latter set's third straight gain and its best sum since the last sales week f 00. HINDSIGHT: With the gift- giving ccasin still visible in the rear view mirrr, album sales fr Father's Day week f 00 were abut % ahead f where they std this year. Yu have t mix and match weeks, because Father's Day fell a week earlier last year. The event's small gap this year appears t be a reflectin f release schedules. This year's Father's Day chart saw five albums, led by the Beastie Bys, enter the tp 0, accunting fr 87,000 cpies, less than the 7,000 that Luther Vandrss' "Dance With My Father" and Radihead's "Hail t the Thief" cmbined fr a year and a week earlier when they hit N. and N., respectively. In all, eight albums bwed in the tp 0 in the 00 Father's Day frame, accunting fr. millin units. Want t knw a band that shuld lve Dad's best day? Last year's Father's Day frame saw the Rlling Stnes' hits set "Frty Licks" rise 6 -, up 6% ver the prir week. This time, the tw -fer's sales almst dubled, accunting fr a reentry at N. 7 in the July issue. BILLBOARD JULY 7, 00

54 Charts McGraw's 'Dying' Thrives On Cuntry List Tim McGraw takes a quick flight t N. n Ht Cuntry Singles & 'flacks, as "Live Like Yu Were Dying" reaches the summit in its seventh chart week, the frmat's fastest charttpping climb in mnths. McGraw's pwerful track is his secnd -fastest sl climb t N. fllwing his six-week jaunt in 99 with "I Like It, I Lve It." He als quickly ascended with wife Faith Hill n the duet "It's Yur Lve," which tk just five weeks t reach N. in June 997. "Dying" is cuntry's fastest N. since Darryl Wrley's "Have Yu Frgtten?" needed nly five weeks t cntrl the list in April 00. Frm the label perspective, speedier charts are generally cnsidered a gd thing, but applause must be tempered by the reality that such quick ascents ften cncurrently serve t slw the chart. While champining the yuth and vitality f the titles that scale the chart seemingly unbridled, still thers languish with small, incremental grwth. Slightly mre than % f cuntry's tp 0 this issue (I titles) have spent fewer than 0 weeks n the chart, but there are six bulleted tp 0 titles that cmpete with the baggage f 0 r mre chart weeks, making metaphric cmparisns t the trtise and the hare irresistible. Cmpunding this stark cntrast n the current chart are a pack f stubbrn titles inside the tp 0 that previusly tpped the list. Tby Keith, Mntgmery Gentry and Gretchen Wilsn each have frmer N. singles spinning in that part f the chart, cmfrtably abve the recurrent threshld at N.. DREAM WEAVING: "American Idl" runner -up Diana DeGarm splashes nt the Ht 00 Singles Sales chart as her debut title, "Dreams," enters at N. with 6,000 units scanned. DeGarm winds up secnd nce again t "Idl" champin Fantasia, wh maintains her N. perch n the chart fr a secnd week with "I Believe." After pening with,000 units, `Believe" tumbles % t 8,000. DeGarm's sales are enugh t land her the Ht Sht Debut n The Bill- DeGARMO: NO. AGAIN bard Ht 00 at N. with min- imal airplay. Radi cntinues t turn a deaf ear t the success f "Idl," as "Dreams" pulls in nly 8 detectins n nine statins fr a ttal f 00,000 listener impressins. HEADS OR TAILS: With her decline in sales, Fantasia abdicates the N. spt n The Billbard Ht 00 and slides t N. 6. Recapturing the lead is Usher's "Bum," which settles in fr an eighth week at the tp while his "Cnfessins Part II" mves t N. n the Ht 00 Airplay chart. "Burn" trails "Cnfessins" by a scant. millin listener impressins but makes up that grund n the Ht 00 thrugh pints derived frm nn- Nielsen Bradcast Data Systems - mnitred playlist reprts, which favr "Burn" by a slight margin. With "Burn" drpping millin listener impressins, "Cnfessins" is set t take ver the Ht 00 lead next issue, as its audience is dwn nly millin. (It bullets n the airplay chart as it spends its first week at N..)

EMI Music chairman/ceo Main Levy made the disclsure during a Digital Music Investr Day held July at Abbey Rad Studis in Lndn. Levy added that % f EMI's current digital revenue was generated thrugh Internet dwnlads, 7% thrugh nline music subscriptin services and 8% thrugh music fr mbile phnes.

They seek 0 millin rand ($. millin) in damages against Disney and Nu Metr, plus 6 millin rand ($960,000) against David Gresham Music Publishing. A July 6 statement issued by Disney Enterprises claimed it had prperly licensed the right t use the sng frm New -Yrk based Abilene Music. "T the extent that a cpyright wnership issue exists in this case," the statement said, "it shuld be taken up with Abilene Music." Abilene administers "The Lin Musicland Cntinued frm page 6 This type f prgram, he adds, will make it easier fr retailers t differentiate inventries as nline distributin and cnsumptin cntinue t grw. UMG is pursuing a similar strategy with its Universal Music Stre. A separate ebay categry, the stre is meant t generate cnsumer interest in new albums frm UMG artists by ffering exclusive merchandise. But it als nated legitimate digital music stres, in Eurpe. itunes is in the United Kingdm, France and Germany, where Apple says it has sld mre than. millin tracks in its first tw weeks. Napster is in the United Kingdm with plans t expand t the rest f the regin sn. Sleeps Tnight" cpyright in America. As it des nt have assets here, it cannt be sued fr damages in Suth Africa. "Disney is still part f the licensing chain," Dean insists. "After btaining the license frm Abilene, [it] subsequently authrized the use f the wrk in Suth Africa, passing n their license frm Abilene." IMPERIAL LAW The attachment rder wuld cme int effect if Dean's case was successful and Disney Enterprises did nt cme up with any mney it was rdered t pay as damages. `We wuld then be able t sell the Suth African cpyright in the trademarks and `The Lin King' t raise that mney," Dean explains. Dean is Suth Africa's fremst cpyright lawyer. He has based the case n the Imperial Cpyright Act f 9, which was in frce thrughut the British Empire in 99, when Linda recrded "Mbube." The damages claim is based n "the reversinary interest" in the sng, Dean says. "In terms f the Imperial Cpyright Act, wnership f ` Mbube' reverted t Linda's heirs years after his death." serves as an alternative revenue stream fr UMG by tapping int ebay's estimated millin -plus active users and 0 millin registered users. Jcelynn Kilburne, music categry manager fr ebay, says niche prducts like CD bxed sets and vinyl LPs are a ppular draw fr ebay users wh visit the Universal Music Stre. In additin t UMG's hand -picked Universal Music Stre inventry f 8,000 -plus items, ebay lists mre than. millin music, film, videgame and memrabilia items n its site each day. Miller says ebay's success encuraged Musicland t create its wn in Latin America, mst f the digital revenues cme frm the nline use f music, while in Eurpe, 80% f revenue is generated frm mbile phnes and 0% thrugh Internet dwnlads. In Japan and Suth East Asia, almst all digital revenue is generated by mbile music. Levy frecast that in five years' time, "all activities will be in all regins." Levy said that the cmpany is evlving frm being a "physical recrd cmpany" t a "digital music business at large." ABN analyst Bridie Barrett cmmented, "EMI nw seems t have all the relevant systems and building blcks in place t capitalize n this grwth, and the cmpany [is] ptimistic abut the pprtunities digital presents." EMMANUEL LEGRAND UNIQUE EUROPEAN HURDLES But industry experts warn that the shrt time between U.S. and Eurpean launches will be exceptins rather than the rule. Incnsistent range f repertire, the lcal language differences, plus clashing digital- rights -management systems culd still make Eurpe Suth Africa's current Cpyright Act (passed in 978) says that cpyrighted wrks created under previus legislatin cntinue t be gverned by that legislatin. Griesel cntends that the cpyright in "Mbube" passed t him in 987, years after Linda's death. On the premise that "The Lin Sleeps Tnight" is a reprductin f "a substantial part" f the musical wrk "Mbube," the executr claims that all pst -987 uses f "The Lin Sleeps Tnight" als had t be authrized by him. The damages claim alleges that Disney Enterprises incrprated the sng in the sundtrack f "The Lin King" and explited that mvie cmmercially in Suth Africa withut the authrity f the cpyright wner, Linda's executr. REWORKED AND REVAMPED The meldy f "Mbube" already has a lengthy histry. Linda wrte the sng in 99 and recrded it with his band the Evening Birds fr Suth African label Galltne Recrds. It became a natinal hit. In the early 90s, he assigned the wrldwide cpyright f the sng t Suth African publisher Gall (Africa) Ltd. It was then rewrked auctin site. He sees Shwbidz as "a natural extensin" f the Replay service, allwing Musicland t "reward custmers fr smething they are already ding with us." Miller expects the Replay member base t grw substantially in the cming year as Musicland rlls ut additinal member benefits. McGuire sees Shwbidz as a means f custmer retentin mre than a grwth strategy. Hwever, he believes the site can cnned with custmers in ways ebay cannt, in part because f Musicland's brick -and -mrtar presence. "The wrld f ebay is getting dut- a tugh market t crack. Experts say that utside f the United Kingdm, France and Germany, there are mre barriers t vercme fr internatinal nline -music service prviders. "Yu will need lcal cntent plus internatinal repertire, which brings yu acrss new cpyright issues," Fr - rester's Ulph- Jennings explains. "Yu als need [a Web site] interfaced with the lcal language and payment systems. And many Eurpeans still dn't use credit cards." Simn Dysn, music analyst at Lndn -based Infrma Media, is cncerned abut what he feels is a still - incnsistent message being sent t digital music fans. `With Cnnect jining Napster and itunes and prbably even mre services befre the end f the year, it's a gd thing with cnsumers being ffered mre [legitimate] chices," he says. "But if peple g t Cnnect tday and find there isn't as much chice there as there is n itunes, it's ging t be... difficult t get them back. "The cntent has gt t be cmpelling straight away," he adds, "r yu'll scare peple away, and yu can't affrd t d that." and recrded in 99 by American flk singer Pete Seeger as "Wimweh." In 96,'Wimweh" was itself revamped by sngwriter Gerge David Weiss fr the Tkens' hit "The Lin Sleeps Tnight." Althugh Linda's cntributin t "The Lin Sleeps Tnight" has lng been penly acknwledged, the migrant wrker never received credit as a c- cmpser. He died a pauper withut leaving a will in 96. Dean's team admits that, frm the early 970s nwards, his family received sme ryalties frm the American wners f "The Lin Sleeps Tnight" cpyright but claims that these were well belw the sng's actual earnings. Dean and his legal team were granted the right t repen the crn - pser's estate by the Jhannesburg Magistrate's Curt earlier this year. 'We presented evidence that hithert unknwn assets were rightfully due t Slmn," he says. Dean cntends that prvisins f the Imperial Cpyright Act apply in all territries that were nce part f the British Empire.

57 r Piracy Cntinued frm page lary revenue streams like DVDs. Studis lst $. billin in 00 n the ptical -disc piracy frnt." Henry McGee, president f HBO Hme Vide, warns that the $0 billin U.S. DVD industry "culd all cme crashing dwn if we are Napsterized." Thugh studi executives are reluctant t discuss specifics, they are trying several new weapns t shut ff DVD pirates' tw main surces -illegal dwnlads and illegal replicatin. New strategies include increased Internet plicing, the planting f false files (knwn as spfing) and the use f DVD encryptin technlgy. The studis als are understd t be discussing pssible relatinships with peer -t -peer netwrks t ffer legitimate dwnlads. All f these tactics are n the upswing since Billbard published a stry abut film piracy Jan. 0. These defenses are being cmplemented by a far -reaching educatin campaign spearheaded by the MPAA. The MPAA reprts that in additin t the $. billin lst t illegal replicatin last year, an unquantifiable amunt was lst because f file sharing. A likely estimate is that 00, ,000 films are being illegally dwnladed every day. What's mre, the rapid increase f high -speed bradband Internet cnnectins is expected t fuel illegal dwnlading. Frrester Research reprts that 9. millin U.S. husehlds had bradband by the end f 00 and prjects that 7. millin will have it by the end f this year, a 0% increase. By 009, mre than 68 millin husehlds are expected t have bradband. ONLINE SOLUTIONS One anti -piracy mechanism fr studis invlves wrking directly with PP netwrks n payment prgrams fr legitimate dwnlads. That is the idea behind the -yearld Distributed Cmputing Industry Assn., an Arlingtn, Va. -based rganizatin whse members include Sharman Netwrks (wner f PP netwrk Kazaa) and whse gal is t cmmercialize PP fr legitimate distributin. Marty Lafferty, CEO f the DCIA, says that if the tw sides can get past the technical hurdles f securing the cntent and tightening digital- rightsmanagement technlgy, then the questin becmes "what we d abut windws. We can envisin cllapsing the windw day and date glbally and acrss all media." Lafferty-wh adds that the DCIA is in "very private discussins with sme f the majrs at the mment" - suggests that cnsumers culd be charged a premium fr legitimately dwnlading a file thrugh an authrized PP service n the day f its theatrical release. Other PP netwrks nt aligned with the DCIA are als testing the legitimate distributin waters. PP netwrk ednkey, which claims abut millin users at all times and abut 0 millin dwnlads per year, has pursued licensing deals fr independent films. New ó E 0 t license us any f their cntent fr sale," he ntes. SPOOFING AND POLICING Studis' nline attack f late has mainly cme frm increased reliance n interdictin and Internet plicing cmpanies. Internet plicing firm BayTSP says that interdictin cmpanies, which plant bgus r "spfed" film files, have been flding PP netwrks. On May Ttal U.S. Husehlds With Bradband Prjected Grwth '98 '99 '00 '0 '0 '0 '0 '0 '06 '07 '08 '09 Surce: Frrester Research Ttal U.S. Husehlds With DVD Recrders / / '0 '0 '0 Surce: Frrester Research Prjected Grwth Yrk -based ednkey is ne f the mst ppular file- sharing netwrks; its dwnladers receive files faster than ther PP file sharers because they are accessed in small bits frm numerus cmputers. "We did sme deals with independent films abut a year ag," says Sam Yagan, president f ednkey. "But because we licensed n -name mvies, users weren't willing t take the risk. The idea didn't wrk." Yagan says that it has prved difficult t wrk directly with majr studis n similar prgrams thus far. "Nne f the majr studis have agreed / / / / L./ / / '08 '09 7 0, the average number f files per user n the Fast Track netwrk, which includes Kazaa and Grkster, was 0.8. By May, it jumped t 7. "Interdictin has a limited effectiveness windw," says Mark Ishikawa, CEO f BayTSP. "Sphisticated pirates can begin t identify the spfed cpies." The Ls Gats, Calif. -based BayTSP (TSP stands fr "tracking security prtectin"), which identifies the Internet prtcl address f illegal file sharers and facilitates the delivery f takedwn ntices t the ffender, has seen infringements acrss music, mvies and sftware grw frm between. millin and millin per day t between. millin and millin per day in the last six mnths. Ishikawa says that numbers have risen because it nw has an increased client base. Other plicing firms, such as the Ludeye subsidiary Overpeer, based in New Yrk, als seek t wrk with studis t cnvert piracy attempts int legitimate sales. The cmpany says it blcks access t billin music, vide and sftware files per mnth. Marc Mrgenstern, VP /GM f Lud - eye's asset prtectin and prmtins business, says that Overpeer helps t sell,000 videgames per mnth. "A user thinks it's a pirate cpy, and when they get t a certain level, it prmpts them t give a credit card number t get the rest f the game," he says. "This can be dne fr films if the prpsitin is right." HARD -COPY PROTECTION Prtecting against hard -cpy replicatin f DVDs is anther critical issue, particularly as DVD recrders becme mre prevalent in hmes. The number f U.S. husehlds with DVD recrders is expected t increase % t almst 9 millin this year, up frm 7.7 millin in 00, accrding t Frrester Research. A ttal f 0 millin husehlds are prjected t wn DVD recrders by 009. "There's n dubt in my mind that cme Christmas time, we will get a prliferatin f inexpensive DVD recrders belw $80," says Carl Flaherty, senir VP f sales fr cntent prtectin cmpany Macrvisin. "The price f blank discs is als ging dwn t 0 cents." Fr its part, Macrvisin says it will intrduce anti -ripping sftware fr DVDs in third -quarter 00 that is a mre rbust mechanism t prevent users frm making cpies. Mre vide cmpanies are ging after ne factr in hard -gds piracy: the DVD screeners sent t retailers. Last mnth, Warner Hme Vide became the secnd hme vide divisin (after Universal Studis Hme Vide) t ban distributin f DVD screeners (Billbard, July ). Sme independent vide cmpanies are refraining frm screener distributin n a per -title basis. Wellspring Media, fr example, will nt be prviding screeners fr its upcming release f "The Brwn Bunny," a Vincent Gall prject. A street date has nt been set. "The film has an explicit scene in it that wuld be prblematic if it gt ut," says Mark Gilulla, Wellspring executive VP f hme entertainment. "Instead, we're setting up in- theater screenings fr buyers." EDUCATION AND LEGISLATION While the studis seek specific slutins t dwnlading and replicatin, they are als aware that educatin is integral t changing behavirs lng term. "We are cntinuing t elevate the discurse," the MPAAs Grssman says. Last mnth, the rganizatin launched an aggressive new phase t the anti -piracy educatin campaign it initiated last year. The MPAAs effrts will specifically target clleges thrugh newspaper ads and the creatin f cdes f cnduct fr student cmputer use. Additinally, the MPAA launched an anti -piracy awards prgram last mnth t ferret ut individuals wh are illegally camcrding films in theaters, generally within the title's first few days f release. The initiative rewards theater emplyees up t $00. The MPAA is als publicly supprting the numerus anti -piracy bills that are mving thrugh Cngress. The Senate has already passed the Artists Rights and Theft Preventin Act, which wuld make camcrding a mvie at a theater a federal crime. The act is spnsred by Sens. Jhn Crnyn, R- Texas, and Dianne Feinstein, D- Calif. The Prtecting Intellectual Rights Against Theft and Exprpriatin Act, spnsred by Sens. Orrin Hatch, R- Utah, and Patrick Leahy, D-Vt, has als passed the Senate. It wuld allw prsecutrs t file civil lawsuits in cpyright cases instead f criminal lawsuits. Pdell Cntinued frm page 6 Pdell says PTA's current rster f abut acts is "the perfect scenari. I think David, wh's a great partner and agent, wants t grw his cmpany." Evlutin represents mre than 00 acts, including Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake and the Dnnas. Wrking with Pdell at PTA are tw frmer Evlutin emplyees, C.J. Strck and Nah Perab. Marty Diamnd, head f bking agency Little Big Man, predicts cntinued success fr Pdell. "I'm a big believer in butiques," he says, adding that he runs ne himself. "Jnny certainly has the persnality t g it n his wn." Pdell knws he is starting his new venture at a trubled time fr turing. "Fr the industry t get better, yu have t drastically change the mdel" he says. "When I was a kid, it wasn't a cmmitment t me. I was ging t the Fillmre, I'd pay $6.

58 'I Was A Therapist, A Peacemaker; As A Manager, I'mAWarrìr' BY MELINDA NEWMAN Je Simpsn came t prminence in the music industry as father and manager f Jessica Simpsn, but he's quickly making his mark as an innvative thinker wh gets results. Jessica's musical career was stagnating when the elder Simpsn helped her land an MTV series, "Newlyweds," which catapulted Jessica and husband Nick Lachey int the land f ne -name -nly stars. Endrsements, mvie rles and TV specials fllwed, and the Jessica brand has bmed. Accrding t Simpsn, Jessica's bath and bdy prduct line, Dessert, generated mre than $0 millin in sales during its first 0 weeks. Simpsn is finalizing a deal t license Jessica's name t a clthing and jewelry line that will g thrugh an exclusive retailer (billbard.biz, July ). Jessica is als in the running fr several mvie rles, including Daisy Duke in Warner Brs.' "The Dukes f Hazzard." Meanwhile, her latest Clumbia album, "In This Skin," has been certified duble -platinum. Nw, Simpsn has turned his marketing fcus t yunger daughter Ashlee (see stry, page 9). "Pieces f Me," the first single frm Ashlee's frthcming Geffen debut, "Autbigraphy," is climbing the Billbard charts. Ashlee has endrsement deals fr breath mints and Candie's shes, and her new MTV prgram, "The Ashlee Simpsn Shw," lks set t launch anther Simpsn t stardm. "When it cmes t the art f management and all the magical qualities it takes t be a great manager, Je Simpsn has them all," says Evan Lamberg, EMI Music Publishing's senir VP f creative fr Nrth America. "Thistwrthy, hnest, [with] great creative and business visin, [he is a] wnderful cmmunicatr, incredibly well - rganized and, maybe mst imprtantly, he's beynd passinate abut his artists and their music." Anther Simpsn client, Ryan Cabrera, just entered the Mainstream Tp 0 chart with "On the Way Dwn," the lead single frm his August debut album n Lamberg's Atlantic- distributed E.V.LA Entertainment. Simpsn als recently signed a band, Bareft, t Geffen. Q: Jessica's career was faltering until "Newlyweds" came alng. Hw did that experience change what yu expect frm a label? A: There's ne thing the label des really well, which is prmtin. That's basically what yu're paying the recrd label t d. They have a machine that's well -iled. They knw all f the prgram directrs; they knw the buyers, the sellers; they knw that kind f landscape. S if yu can get the artist t the place where the machine can really take ver and wrk, then yu're in great shape. My biggest prblem is, hw d yu create enugh mph behind that artist [t] get them t that place [where] the machine can take ver and g? I think that's where a manager becmes s imprtant. Q: Hw d yu thank MTV? A: We wrk really cheap. The reasn I signed up fr ["Newly - weds"]-i didn't care what they were paying us-was the expsure n MTV t get ur music seen again. S there's a trade -ff in there. We gt stuff, but beginning actrs get paid mre than we d. Q: Shrtly after "Newlyweds" hit, Clumbia rereleased "In This Skin" with tw new singles. What was the strategy behind that? A: A cuple things happened. One is that we were gaining mmentum n a recrd that every reviewer had killed. And everybdy, when they talked abut [Jessica] n a TV shw, wuld say, "And by the way, the music's in the tank, but her TV career is ging." S there was this huge [miscnceptin] that Jessica wasn't a singer anymre, that her singing career was ver. S fr me it was the ability t g back ut and re- establish [the album]. Is it the best -prduced recrd? I dn't think s, because we didn't have any mney t d this recrd. S what the new singles did fr us was they gave us better prductin and great sngs that culd reignite a recrd. The Last rd A Q &A With Je Simpsn Q: Hw d yu keep Jessica's celebrity frm eclipsing the talent? A: That's why this tur is what it is. Frm the very beginning, when I talked t Jessica, I said, 'We've gt t strip it all dwn. N bells, n whistles, n smke, n mirrrs, n dancers, n anything -just yu, singing." All she des fr an hur and a half is sing. And I did that n purpse. I did that because I wanted her fans and peple wh were hnest t walk away ging, "Damn, that girl can sing." Q: S what happens when Jessica's n lnger the "it" girl? A: It has been my belief all alng that diversity is the nly way t stay in this business, s if yu have a diverse rle as an entertainer, then if ne [facet] isn't red ht the ther can be. That's why we're acting -we're wrking n her mvie career right nw. I mved ut f the TV career, because the mvie career is nt as hard fr a music artist. Q: If yu wanted t mve ut f TV, why did yu cnsider ding a cmedy series with ABC? A. Because what was wrking [at that time] fr us was TV. The reasn that I wanted t d series TV is, we were getting creamed by the press that Jessica was stupid, and I wanted t d scripted TV t say, "Lk, she's the same dumb persn when she's scripted as she is in real life." Because the little girl has been acting since she was in fifth grade, and she learned bys like dumb girls better than smart girls. N ne sat dwn with a lessn plan ging, "Uh, Jessica, lk, all the bys like it when yu g `Duh.' " But she learned that -she's enugh f an bserver... S I wanted t say, "Lk, see, yu give her a script, she can d it. Yu didn't give her a script, she knws what's expected. She knws what is funny. But she's als nt stupid." Then the music came back, and, bviusly, the whle thing has escalated. And fr me, when I had an ut [frm the series], I tk it. Because nw I can d TV specials -I've gt fur specials fr the next tw years n ABC -and I can d mvies. Q: Hw d yu chse endrsement deals? A: One thing we've always tried t d is figure ut wh Jessica's market is. If yu'll let her be wh she is, yu'll win, because she is Middle America. She wasn't brn rich. She has mney nw, but that really desn't change wh she is. S when we went after a retailer [fr her pssible apparel line], we didn't g after Gucci [r] even Ralph Lauren. Thse peple like her, but that's nt ur cre. Seventy percent f ur cre is frm Middle America. Q: Yu've signed ther clients. Are yu eager t prve that yu can break smene ther than yur daughters? A: Abslutely. Frm my wn persnal [view], there's always a stigma that yu're nt really a manager, yu're a father and yu're just riding the thing. Q: Yu've partnered with ther managers in the past t manage Jessica, including Randy Hffman and Caresse Henry. Wuld yu cnsider hking up with anther majr management cmpany? A: I'll just say that the majr management firms are making ffers t me. At this pint, I dn't have any reasn t jin frces. I mean, I knw every studi head in twn. I knw every [label] president. I've gt thse relatinships. [But] if I find that it wuld be mre beneficial fr my artist, then I wuld d it. Q: Yu were a minister in Texas befre becming a manager. Are there similarities between the tw jbs? A: Yu wrk with sick peple all the time? [laughs] It was a huge transitin fr me, because nt nly was I a minister, but I was a therapist. S I spent my time healing relatinships. I als spent my time teaching peple t tell the truth. S I was very big n my wrd. And when it came t it, I assumed that if smene gave me their wrd, that was it. And by, was I shcked. I kept saying, 'Ww, that's nt what we talked abut; that's nt what we agreed n." And it really screwed my mind up fr a lng time. It tk me a minute [befre] I caught n and I said, "OK, we'll d business this way. Just because yu give me yur wrd, [that] desn't have anything t d with it. I'll g ut and d all these ther things and hpefully frce yu int keeping yur wrd..." I came frm being, as a therapist, a peacemaker -and as a manager, I'm a warrir. Q: Ashlee and Jessica are extremely pen with the press and n their TV shws. D yu ever shake yur head at what they say? A: Well, the therapist in me has taught them t be hnest and never have anything that yu're ashamed f. The way we are as peple is, if yu still lve me when yu knw me at my wrst, then that's gd. I think it's OK fr Jessica and Ashlee that way. Jessica passes her gas [n "Newlyweds "], that's OK. I wuld never d it that way. That's frm her mm. [laughs] C BILLBOARD JULY 7, 00
