>>>UMG'S FIRST-HALF REVENUE SLIPS Universal Music Group's revenue for the first half of 2010 declined to € 1.9 billion ($2.4 billion), down 5.4% from a year earlier; the decline was 7.9 % on a constant currency basis. In p arent company Vivendi's first-half results, it said that UMG benefited from strong growth in merchandising sales and increased digital sales, but that overall results were hit by fewer major releases and reduced demand for physical product.

>>>ASCAP RELEASES FREE APP ASCAP launched a free app for Apple's portable devices that lets ASCAP members access their own catalog, performance and royalty Information through the organization's membership portal. The app also allows other music industry executives and consumers to search ASCAP's catalog of 8 .Smillion copyrighted musical works.

HOTAND COLD Even As It Tops The Album Chart, Katy Perry's 'Teenage Dream' Sparks New Sales Worries

By most measures, Katy

Perry's new album. "Teenage Dream" (Capitol), has been a resounding success.

The albu m bows this week at No. l on the Billboard 200, thanks to first-week sales of 192,000 units in the United

States, the ninth-best debut week so far this year, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

The album's first single, •ea1. ifornia Curls" (featuring Snoop Dogg), has scanned 3.6 m illion downloads, while all individual d ig ital tracks from the album have sold a combined S million units, according to SoundScan. Put another way, sales of albums and track-equivalent albums (where JO digital tracks equal an album) for "Teenage Dream" totaled 689,000, according to SoundScan.

· u·s a thrilling accomplishment from our perspective,"

says EM I Music Services executive VP Dominic Pandiscia, who oversees the company's North American sales operations. ''The magni• tude of the marketing plan is about driving overall revenue around the project, including track downloads, ringtones and video sales. Album scans is one component of it."

Yet ·Teenage Dreams" fell

short in one key area: It didn't meet first-week sales projections in the industry. And that, in a-urn, has sparked worries that the album's performance may affect retai l orders for other superstar releases due later this year.

Executives at other major la• bds say they expected Perry's sophomore album to debut with sales of anywhere from 300,000 to 700,000 units, with most figuring the album would scan about 400,000.

" I'd like to meet one indus• try executive last week who thought her album would do under 200,000 units, because I don' t think that person exists," a senior executive at a rival major says.

"' It was a wake-up call for some folks," the head of sales at another competing major says. "Some think the sky is fall ing. Others said, 'Wait a minute, she's a singles artist.' And still others said EM I s hould have put out the album six weeks ago and it would have sold more."

According to sources, EMI shipped 1 million units of the album prior to its U.S. street date of Aug. 24, which indicates that big-box retail chains like Wal mart, Target and Best Buy were expecting the album to post robust first4 week sales , as was Starbucks, which fea. tu red the title in its s tores.

It would also be roughly in linewilh typical industry practice of shipping about twice as

The girl can't help it: KATY PERRY

much producl as anticipated first-week sales for a major album release. But prerelease shipments of "Teenage Dream" turned out to be about seven times debut-week sales.

The a lbum sold 89,000 units at mass merchants and 65.000 through nontraditional merchants, including 50,000 downloads. It also sold 35,000 units at chain retailers and 3,000 units at independent s tores and regional chains.

Competing major-label executives say it wasn't EM l's fault that the album didn't meet sales expectations. • EM I d id a tremendous job in setting up that record," one executive says.

Perry shot to pop stardom with her 2008 debut album, "One of the Boys" (Capitol), and a penchant for provocative lyrics and music videos.

Newbury Comics head of purchasing Carl Mello says he expects "'Teenage Dream" will

sell well through the end of the year and that it will be one of the holiday season's top titles. But he notes that the album's firstweek sales "aren't as big as you \

1vould think for somebody who has become so omnipresent."

While anticipation for Taylor Swift's forthcoming album, "Speak Now" (Big Machine), had s parked debate over whether supersta r artists will ever be capable of generating debut-week sales ofl million uni ts (Bill board, Ju ly 31) , "Teenage Dream" has shifted the conversation to whether labels should even consider shipping 1 million units be• fore street date.

"I don't knowhow you ship a million units now," a major-label head of sales says. "Even if I was asked to ship a million units, you just can't do it anymore."

Some label executives say expectations were too high because most female pop artists

commonly sell a lot of track downloads but don't enjoy big debut-week album sales. "When I saw how Perry was doing, I was shocked," a senior sales executive at a competing major distribution company says. "But then I remembered that Fergic's 'The Dutchess' only did about 160,000 units in her first week in September (2006] and it took until December until the fans started buy• ing her like an album artist."

EMl's marketing push for "Teenage Dream .. and Perry's

appealing stage persona will no doubt score her high-profile TV appearances this fall , which should help boost sales of the album. "Mark my words: I wi II bet you 'Teenage Dream' will sell more than ("One of the Boys")," another senior label sales executive says. • 'Teenage Dream' will be one of those 'at the end of the day' records."

CONSERVATIVE PARTY After Scoring With Best Coast, Mexican Summer/Kemado Sticks With One-Off, Limited-Edition Releases

Best Coas t's debut, "Crazy for You," has emerged as the indie•rock sleeper hit of the s um mer, earning a steady stream of blog and mainstream press buzz.

The success is a turning point for Brooklyn label Mex• ican Summer, which had never released a full-length CD before "Crazy for You.· But the label isn't leveraging its new cachet to sign a slew of potential breakout acts.

In many ways, this approach is the reverse of the typical label model, where development deals involve heav ie r upfront costs. "It's such a risk to do business like that," says Keith Abrahamsson , head of A&R at Mexican Summer and Kemado. "If you're signing developmen t deals traditionally, you have to pay a good sum of money to get the pro ject off the ground."

Instead, most of Mexican Summer's releases a re one-off licensing deals, released digitally and on limited-run vinyl only, with decisions about reis• s u es and potential CDs m ade down the line. Of the label's 15-

Mexican Summe r began in 2008 as a spinoff of Kemado for limited•run vinyl pressings of com pelling, underex• posed records that didn' t flt the parent label s tylistically or commercially. For example.

Initially, a subscr iption model helped fund the pressings upfront, but proved logistically unfeasible after less than a year due to product delays that made it difficult to fulfill subscription agreements on deadline.

Mexican Summer now licenses records for average runs of 1,000. Bands get 20% of the u nits to sell as their advance. If sales take off, repressings are considered. But because vinyl buyers tend to value rarity in their pur• chases. the label keeps firs t runs •special• by packaging subsequent runs with lower•quality materials or without

"" lfwe're going to sign someone to a multirecord deal, that doesn't happen quickly." Abrahamsson says, noting that Best Coast was a rare exception due to the press buzz the band was generating.

Abraharnsson acknowledges tha t Mexican Sum mer 's reluctance to sign multi-album deals can be r isky when it puts out a release that finds a fast audience. In September 2009, the label released the EP "Life of Le isure" by Washed Out, the stage name of breakout chi!lwave artist Ernest Greene. The record has sold 11,000 copies, according to Sound Scan. But because the label o nly s igned a deal for the EP, who Greene will record for next is still up in the air.

Still, Abrahamsson says the conservative approach is worth the r isk. " If we do a good job with a project and develop it well ,· he says , "hopefully that's enough to continue 1he relationship ...



Ping Them Bells Apple's Jump Into Social Networking Isn't A Slam-Dunk

For all the innovations Apple has brought to the market through the years, it's also a pretty good follower.

The i Pod is a perfect reflection of this. It wasn't the first MP3 player to hit retail shelves. It was just the best, and it blew away the other devices to the point of obscurity. Now, Apple arrives late to the social networking party with Ping, the new music-focused social network for iTunes it announced Sept. I .

Major-label executives declined to comm e nt on Ping, but they're no doubt watching it closely, given how important social networking has become as a tool of m usic discovery and driving sales.

Ping comes on the heels of other similar attcmpls to blend music appreciation with socia l networki ng, like Mi crosoft's Zune, ilike, MySpace Music, MOG and Rdio. But

Ping users. All current account holders can creale a Ping profile using the sa me user name and login as their iTunes account.

But that doesn't mean they will. There are plenty of social networks already with as many if not more users than iTunes. Facebook has about 500 mil• lion users worldwide. MySpacehas 122 million. Twitter has more than 100 million.

MySpace has the most to be concerned about, having risen

to prominence largely on the strength of artists using it to communicate with fans. [t's already taken a hit on the social net\vorking front from the riseofFacebook. With iTunes attacking its music flank with Ping, MySpace will face even greater challenges.

But it still has some points in its favor. Artists of al] stripes srilJ maintain MySpace profiles.And MySpace Music, its joint ven-

In contrast to the eme rging digital media p laye r marke t that the iPod was quick to dominate, social networking already features entrenched giants, including Facebook, Twitter and a down-but-notout MySpace. And ta lking about which artists users are listening to or planning to go see is already a focal point of interaction on those sites.

Ping's initial impact wil l hinge on Apple's ability to convert the 160 million iTunes account holders into registered

Grace Digital Audio kicks the concept up a notch with its Eco Extreme-a waterproof, sandproof and shockproof case with a rubberized outer shell and a battery-powered speaker. It'll come in handy for those planning to walk through a sandstorm or a hurricane and need some tunes to boot. It a lso has room to store things like keys or cash and has a detachable clip to at·

8 I BILLBOARD I SEPTEMBER 11, 2010

You're all invited: Apple CEO STEVE JOBS onstage at the Verba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco unveiling product updates and Apple's new social network, Ping.

Meanwhile, Facebook appears t o have the least to worry about, having become to social networking what Apple is to digital music. Facebook hasn't yet formulated a music strategy of its own, so Apple's move into this space doesn't really hurt it. In fact, s hould Apple ever integrate with Facebook Connect so that the activity on Ping can be shared across Facebook, Apple's move could help it by providing a turnkey music solulion.

It's not yet clear what effect Ping will have on the new music services that

have launched with a social s t rategy, such as Rdio, MOG and Spotify.

Their advant3.ge is a con• centration on full -track, cloud-based streaming. something Apple has

yet to offer des pite i ts

December 2009 acquisi-tio n of s treaming mus ic service Lala.com. Apple soon hopes to offer 90-second song samples.

"[It] co m pletely validates Rdio's social approach to discovering music through peo• pie, " Rdio COO Carter Adamson says . .. But in our view, sharing a short clip doesn't amount to sharing music."

Another thing to consider is what the new social network will mean for iTunes, the No. l music retailer in the United States . For on e thing, it

strengthens iTunes' music discovery functions, historically its weakest link. Instead of displaying the top 10 sell ing tracks, albums and videos, as iTunes has long done on its home page, Ping will provide a customized list of recom• mendations based on the pur• chasing histories of users and their friends. That could help boost music sales at iTunes.

'There have been JO billion songs downloaded from iTunes and 275 million devices sold," a senior executive at a r ival social network says. "So that means they've gotten 36 purchased songs from each device. That's not a lot."

Additionally, Ping helps prevent users from ditching iTunes for one of its more so· cially focused startup rivals as it works on its cloud s trategy. But until Apple adds such a service, or anolher way to stream full songs in iTunes without having to buy them, Ping will likely be limited to the iTunes faithful.

U.K. Retailers Target Physical Sales With Festival Stores

LONDON-U.K. music retailers are

finding new outlets for physical product on the festival circuit.

Market leader HMV set up temporary

stores at three festivals operated by its live division Mama Group Lhis summer, following the lead of independent re•

tailer Rough Trade in th.isemcrgi.ng market niche. Both retailers stock new and

catalog releases from artists on the bill, as well as other merchandise.

HMV operated its fi rst h m vfestival

store al London's Lovebox festival, held July 16-18. Mystery Jets and Yeasayerwere

on hand to sign CDs, while pop artist EUie Goulding performed for customers.

H MV Live manager Simon Eltring•

ham says signed product sold particularly strongly as the store was able to "connect directly with fans and

strengthen the relat ionship they have with their favorite artists.,.

El tringham declined to reveal over•

all sales volume orrevenue. But he says lhe Love-box s tore sold more than 200 copies of Goulding's debut al bum. " Lights· (Polydor). HMV festival sales

are chart-eligible. H MV also operated a temporary store

at classic rock festival High Voltage (held

July 24-25 in London) and dance feslival Global Gathering [JulyJ0-31. StratfordUpon-Avon). Eltringham says High Voll,

age was the strongest performer- lilies by Emerson, Lake & Palmer; Joe Bona• massa; and Foreigner were among the biggest sellers- followed by Lovebox and Global Gathering. The venture was prof•

itable over the three events, with Lovebox and H igh Voltage profitable in their

own right. HMV plans to roll out up to 10 hmvfestival stores in 2011, including return visits to all three 2010 even ts.

"For Lovebox and Global Gathering, the key spikes came from signings,"Eltringham says. "At High Voltage, there

was a surge in sales immediately after an artist performed ...

Eltringham says HMV is targeting major festivals like Glastonbury, V and Reading/Leeds for ne.xt year and is con

sidering how to engage with younger fans 1Vho don't buy physical product.

Meanwhile, Rough Trade, whic h opened its first festival outlet al the End of the Road festival in 2006, has stores

at five independent festivals this summer: Port Eliot (held July23-25 in Cornwall), Camp Bestival (July 30-Aug. 1,

Dorset), Standon Calling(Aug. 6-8, Hert

fordshire), Green Man (Aug. 20-22, Wales) and End of the Road (Sept. 10-12, Dorset). It expects to operate a similar number of fest ival stores next year.

Rough Trade partnership sales manager Nina Herve identifies Green Man

as a particularly strong sales performer, estimating that the retailer's temporary

store generated album sales of more than 1,000 units during the weekend.

"It's a really good festi val for us because it's the clientele we want," Herve

says. "They still buy physical releases.·

1-ferve also reports that business was good at Port Eliot and Camp Bes ti val. But

Standon Call ing was less successful. which Herve a ttributes to its younger au•

dienceand proximity to London. where brick-and-mortar record stores aren't a novelty as they arc in smaller towns.

Ben Turner. vicechainnan of the Assn. oflndependent Festivals (Al f). says he

welcomes the rise of festival stores. "Fora brand like HMV to get out into

the festival field i s absolutely critical,"

he says. "You can get everything else at a festival-so why can't you buy a CD'"

Turner says HMV could be a "natural fi t" for A l f members like dance event Creamfields a nd world mus ic

festival WOMAD. Herve says she believes the festival

market is large and varied enough to accommodate both Rough Trade and HMV, noting, "The punters seem to like

us being there because a lot of the places where the fes tivals are. there are no independent record shops anymore."•· •·

-------·--------Come on in my kitchen: GROOVE ARMADA; inset: Cooking Vinyl's MARTIN GOLDSCHMIDT.

U.K. lndie Cooking Vinyl Mines New Revenue Thro~!l.Qistribution/Marketing Pacts

LONDON-Veteran U.K. independent label Cooking V inyl

says It has found the recipe for success with its range of artist service deals.

Launched in 1986 as a contemporary folk label by Martin Goldschmidt and Pete Lawrence, the London-based com

pany scored Its b iggest hit with the February 2009 release of

the Prodigy's No. 1 U.K. album, u1nvaders Must D ie."

"Invaders" has sold 606,000

copies in the United Kingdom, according to the Official Charts

Co. (OCC). While that album was licensed from the band's own Take Me to the Hospital

label, Goldschmidt says the

success attracted a new wave of established artists to Cook· Ing Vinyl.

" We've been putting out records for a long, long time,

but we've never been able to play with the big boys," says Goldschmidt, who is managing director at the label. "The

Prodigy showed that we can doit ."

Cooking Vinyl recently inked service deals with established U.K. act s Underworld, Groove

Ar mada and the Charlatans. Under these deals, Cooking

Vinyl distributes, markets and prorrotes already-recorded albums in exchange for a share

of revenue once costs are re-


and their managers

choosing which services they want the label to provide.

Whi le artists retain the

master rights, Goldschmidt says the arrangement sign if· icant ly reduces the risk to the label, while allowing it to

share in the profits of a successful album. Angle Manage

ment CEO Dan O'Neill, who manages former Sony Music act Groove Armada, hails the band's Cooking Vinyl deal for

Its "Black Light" album as

much more favorable than a trad itional royalty-based major-label deal.

" The artist ended up with a

very significant majority profit

share on the project," O'Neill says. uunparalleled ability to

control the break-even point has empowered us in an incredible way."

While Cooking Vinyl is a U.K.-only operation, the deal gave Groove A rmada access

to the label's g lobal network of licensing partners, while also

leaving it free to work with other labels internationally.

"Black Light " has sold

more than 100,000 units worldw ide,

accord ing to Angle. That includes 35,000 in

the United King-dom since its March

1 release, according to

the OCC. O'Neill notes that the record turned a profit with U.K. sales of 27.000 units.

Goldschmidt is now eyeing simi lar returns from the Charlatans' album, "Who We

Touch," due Sept. 6, and Underworld's "Barking," due Sept. 13. Underworld co-man

ager Mike Gillespie praises the 11c larity and transparency11 of the arrangement. citing the 0 quali ty and experience of

key personnel at Cooking

V inyl" as the deciding factor in choosing the label over other suitors.

But Edwin Schroter, inter•

national director at Brussels

based indie PIAS, questions the long-term v iab i lity of

Cooking Vinyl's single-market service model, citing the shrinking sales base of the

mid level, former major-label acts typically attracted to such deals.

"If your share of revenue is going to come from tak

ing a percentage of physical sales and you're not selling any records, you're

not going to earn money," Schroter says.

PIAS has service deals with several acts including Placebo and Tiesto, but Schroter says

PIAS deals operate o n a PanEuropean basis. Schroter says

the company also receives a

percentage of live and merch income on some deals, although he declined to specify

which ones. Goldschmidt, however, points

to recent European s&rvice deals between North Ameri

can indies Arts & Crafts and Vagrant and Cooking Vinyl's

Essential Music & Marketing division as evidence of the model's growing appeal.

" Our business is changing

and our needs are changing,"

Goldschmidt says. "Labels have got to see their role as provid· ing a service to both the artist

and the consumer."

Make It Work Fashion's Night Out Employs Musicians' Promo Power

The fashion industry is turning to the musk business to boost its fortunes as part of the second annual Fashion's Night Out on Sept. JO. Musicians will perform at some of New York's top fashion houses as part of the event, aimed at luring in consumers with the bonus ofinstore performances and guest appearances.

Musicians "'have to be savvy at your business these days and know alternative ways to be heard, and, in my case. be seen," says model/ musician Karen Elson, whowi.11 perform songs

from her debut album, "The Ghost Who Walks,· at the Balenciaga shop.

lnitsfustycar, Fashion's Night Out-a collaboration among American Vogue, the Council of Fashion Designers of America. NYC & Co. and the City of New York-drew in crowds witl1 appearances by TV and movie stars. Macy's had Kate Hudson. Bergdorf Goodman had "Top Chef' host Pad ma Lakshmi and Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, and Charlize Theron appeared at Dior.

This year, designers and brands are turning to musicians. Besides Elson at Balenciaga, Joss Stone and Train are scheduled to perform at Macy's Herald Square, where Sean "Diddy" Combs wlll also make an appearance. Stone will also stop in at Nine West on Fifth Avenue, while Mary J. Blige will play Bergdorf.Goodman, PharreU Williams

will appear at Billionaire Boys Club/Ice Cream, Taboo of the Black Eyed Peas will play Saks Fiftl1 Avenue. Bryan Adams will perform at thecalvin Klein Collection store, and Gwen Stefani will make an appearance at Sephora's Broadway store to sign her new Wicked Style fragrance.

Other cities across the country will hold their own Fashion's Night Out events. CBS will air a special on Sept. 14, with an appear• ance by Justin Timberlake. Fashion's Night Out is one of the highlights of New York's Mer-

cedes-Benz Fashion Week, which kicks ofTSept. 9.

Elson says she agreed lo play Balenciagaaflerdoinga photo shoot for the luxury brand earlier tl1is year. She"s known des igner Nicolas Chesquiere since her early 20s. "It was sort of one of those moments that made perfect sense,~ she says.

But Elson says musici3ns have to be careful which brands they align themselves with . .. Even for me, becauseobviously I'm in the fashion world and now I'm writing and playing music. it is a fine line. It's very dillia.tlt thescdaystoscll rrcords. lfthere'sasituation with a fashion company that makes sense for a musician, that benefits them or gets their music out to an audience not being reached. I c.an understand."

For the fashion brands. the hope is that performances by well-known artists will drive foot traffic and boost sales, says Martine Reardon, Macy's executive VP for marketing and .advertising. "'1bis year. we looked at how we could top last year," she says.

The retailer decided to bring in Train because ii 6t with designer Tommy l-lilfiger'slin<>-exdusive to Macy's-and has always been tied to music.

"'I t's not likc\vewe.nt for musicians-it's just that all the rashion designers we work with all

have music as a major part of their lives. so those kinds of synergies work well forus," Reardon says. Earlier tltis year, Macy's partnered with Combs, and last montl1, it launched the Material Girl line from Madonna and her daughter, Lourdes.

Reardon says Macy's isn'lspecificallytargeting artists for parlnerships, but when it's part of a push for both brand and musician, it'll do it. "It's really about the product. I think those folks that have that real strong bent toward fashion, yes, .. she says. "'For a bunch of musicians out there, fashion's not the most important thing to them. They just want to be musicians."

Even Elson says she isn' t obsessed with fashion, though she thinks both can inspire each other to a JX)int. "'I'm certainly not going to write a song about Prada shoes and handbags:· •· · ·

In The Queen's Realm_ VIP Packaging Pioneer Shelley Lazar Says Business Is Holding Up Well

Bob Dylan calls her "Shell vis. "To Keith Rich· ards, s he's the .. motherfuckin' ticket queen ."

And for many of the lucky souls who've scored band or promoter-approved seats or backstage passes from her, she's been the lady with the keys lo the kingdom.

Shelley Lazar pioneered the development

of premium seating.artist access and bundled

ticket packages into a crucial business for the louring industry, working for legendary promoters BIii Graham . Ron Delsener

and later under her own SLO Tick-eling banner (now part of live Na-tion Entertainment) .

And aficrdecades in lhe business, she's showing no signs of slowing down. Her clients this year include P aul McCartne y ; La dy Gaga; Crosby, St ills & Nash; Testament; Santana; and Yo Gabba Gabba! Live! For McCartney, the base price is $250

for the high-end tickel and an additional $200-$250 for ext ras like parking, dinner, exclusive me rch and access lo the sound check. For Gaga, the VJ P package includes a preshow disco; for Yo Gabba Gabba! Live!, il's

a place for parents to stow stroUcrs or

cha nge diapers. "There is an absolute market forthis." Lazar

says. "'The people who spend any kind of money

for our packages are the people who would have gone to brokers before just to get a ticket and

not gel lhe package." Ofcourse, VJ P programs aren't for every artist. "Is there a market for, say, the W ho , to

have a S2S0 t icket and a really great VJ P experience lhat Shelly Lazar does? You bet," veteran promoter Larry Vallon at A EG Live says. "There are probably maybe 1,000 of

those in New York and the Northeast wheel• house per show. I n o ther markets, maybe i t's 500. •

to pay the p iper." Lazar was based in New York in the early

days. but Bruce Springsteen's camp was the first to take Lazar's act into other markets. with Los Angeles being the lrial run. "I went oul there and set up my ticket office a t the Sunset Marquis," she recalls. "I remember Jackson Browne saying, 'Whal a great idea. Let's bring

Shelley oul here.' And lhe next thing you know, I was going on the road city to city wilh artists

I • that thought it was a good idea." Artists bought into the concept, with the

Who, Springsteen, the Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin and other major acts becoming

clients. The logical next step was to make such packages available to fans. " I was thinking, 'All these industry insiders are getting these

great experiences-let's give that to the fans.' So we p ut together these packages."

Afierthe Stones' Steel Wheels tour in I 989-90, Lazar moved to San Francisco to work again with Graham. "He said, ' Just do what you're doing. You're the mait re d' of rock'n'roll,' • she

recalls. "My job was to make sure Bui, Vallon adds, "with Ions of

bands, you c.an't even get near that, and in some cases it's a turnoff to even have it.,.

On The everyone is having a good time, whether it's a manager, a record company president or lhe guy on

the s treet, the regular fan." Through the years, Lazar has

honed a sharp sense of what k inds of packages work for

which artists. In the late '60s, when the for•

mer New York school teacher handled catering. t icketing and guest lisls for Graham and Delsener, most of the names on Lazar's liSls were friends of the performing artist, family members and record company presiden ts or high-ranking m usic

executives-insider perks for the music elite. Bui in building relationships with managers, agents and artists, she came up with the idea of developing access-based VIP packagesand charging for them.

··J said to the artists,' I'm sure your guests would n' t mind paying a service charge for the service that they're ge1ting,' .. Lazar recalls, "So we Slarted tacking on a small service charge that covered my expenses, my hotel, my labor , . , They'd gel great seals

client list, and I went 10 a ll of them and said, 'So if I go out on my own and don't have a company behind me, will you still do business me?' · she says. "And they said, 'Absolutely. It's you we wa nt , not who you work for.' "

Even in this year's difficult summer touring markel, sales for Lazar's VIP packages have held up. To broaden lheir appeal, she's added

d i fferent pricing tiers through the years, tailoring her calculations to each market.

" I have to say that my business has remained prelty even-keeled ," she says. "Is business insane~ No . But is it d oing well? Absol u tely."

From J ennifer Lopez to Mariah Carey to Mary J. Blige, it's become de rigueur for musicians to have thei r own perfume. One

player in t he market is Romane Fragrances, a fragrance licensing, marketing and dist ribution company that has produced

scents for more than 70 partners, including hip-hop artist Nelly. Romane CEO Monte Henlge says his company looks to team

w ith any brand w ith a fan base, be it a celebrity o r a fashion nameplate. One of the reasons the compa ny teamed last year with Nelly was that he's a recording star w ith his own Apple Bottoms apparel line, which has been in stores since 2003. (It's also

been name-checked in songs by Twista and Flo Rida.)

Before jo in ing Elmhurst, 111.-based Romane, Henige was sen

ior VP/CFO of the Chicago Stock Exchange and was a management consultant for Delo itte & Touche. In an interview, he talks

about the increasing interplay between recording artists and perfume brands.

1 What's going on In the fragrance marketplace?

The general public th inks that every celebrity has a fragrance, or wan ts a fragra nce, o r is going to launch a fragrance. T here's room for certain eel•

ebritiesout there todo that. but the wor ld has changed a bit. They have to be more innovat ive with their !d istribution) chan nel strategy and with their marketing strategy. \Ve are en

tering a world where you really

have to be an up•a.nd-comer or an establis hed person of a higher ilk to make it work for you in a profitable m anner. Our view is that we wan t to catch them on the upside, but they have to have something di ffer· ent. be it a connection to a charitable event or a launch wi th a d ifferent t\'l.•ist to it. It's not the sam e old template for launch• ing any fragrance, let a lo ne a celebrity frag rance.

What are some of the In• novatlve ways artists are doing this? We're coming o n the heels of the Mary J. Blige success !in selling her per fum e line exclusively th roug h] HS N. That certainly was d i fferen t from what people have done in lhc

past, which I totally applaud .

Ubiq uity isn' t going to take place for every given celebrity opportun ity. You've got to pick those cha n nels a nd serve those channels.

3 Does that mean we' re

going to see more retail exclusives for celebrity fragrances?

By virtue of being in certain channels, you 're going to exclude other ch annels . And that's not a bad th ing. It forces people to make choices. You have to figure ou t w hich is the

right market for the fragrance

After more than seven decades In the business, seminal regional Mexican act Banda el Recodo remains one of the genre's top

selling groups. Founded in 1938 by the late Cruz Lizarraga, the band has continued to thrive through the years thanks to Lizarraga's two sons, Joel and Alfonso, who have adapted the

traditional banda format to multiple musical styles and contemporary arrangements.

Recodo's hit single "Te Presume" spent six weeks at No. 1 on

Billboard's Hot Latin Songs chart in 2009, the year's longest tenure atop the ranking. And this week, the group's latest sin

gle, "Dime Que Me Quieres," notches its 13th week at No. 1 on the Regional Mexican Airplay chart, the longest run so far this year on that tally. In an interview, Recodo leader Alfonso (Poncho)

Lizarraga talks about the group's continued success at radio.

Calif.; and the Portland (Ore.) Mem or ial Coliseum. And Live Nation and Alvarez & Garner have already booked 10 dates for 201 I.

The show's expansion is a tribute to the popular

SINGER/ S NGWRITER/

AUTHOR

~ Rosan The acclaimeq artist talks about her new memoir, how the music business hys changed and why she can!t get enough of Twitter.

Rosanne Cash has worn many hats through the years-country music star, acclaimed singer/ songwriter, mother of five and first·bom child of the legendary Johnny Cash.

Now, with her long-awaited memoir "Composed" (Viking), Cash is a best-selling author as well. For the week ended Aug. 14, "Composed" debuted at No. 20 on the New York Times best·

seller list for hardcover nonfiction. Cash, who's been on a book tour to promote the tome, says it's been an invigorating experience to go out on the road as an author.

" I even had a woman come up and say, ' I've never heard of you before, I've never heard your music; I just read the excerpt from the book and somebody's review and bought the book

and loved it,' " Cash says. "And I thought, 'Ah, success!' " The publication of " Composed" comes after the deaths of her father in 2003 and her

mother, Vivian Liberto, in 2005, which also informed her 2006 album, "Black Cadillac" (Capitol). After surviving a health scare that required brain surgery, Cash went on to record "The List" (Manhattan), her 2009 album of covers of classic songs that her father had urged her to learn.

In the coming weeks, Cash will be playing scattered concert dates amid a handful of additional book signings. She also says she's been writing songs with Billy Bragg and Joe Henry

for an a lbum that the trio hopes to begin recording in late fall. In an interview with Billboard, Cash talks about her book and what it's been like watching

daughter Chelsea Crowell launch her own recording career.

Why did you feel compelled to write a memoir now?

I didn't feel com pelled to write it now. I felt compelled to finish it now. I've been working on it for a

decade. I had brain surgery in 2007 and spent the next year thinking about what I really wanted to do with my life. You get a good hard look at your mortality and it makes things seem more urgen t. I wanted to finish the book and I wanted to make '"The List." And so I've done both.

Would it have been easier or more difficult to finish the book whlle your parents were st ill around?

It's kind of a bittersweet thing because I wish so much tha t they were here to see me do this. And yet I couldn't have written it if they were s t ill here. I don't think I could've had the objectivity of who they were in my life until they'd been gone a wh ile.

Any plans to do another book? Totally. lt'sa250-pagebookand I'm 55 years o ld. I definitely have volume two in me.

In "Composed." you discuss the tragic themes that resonate In

many traditional country songs and then observe that "modern country music speaks less of

such desperate loss, and has be· come shiny and rich and rather shallow as a result." What did you mean by that?

T here's a whole genre that's k ind of hook-oriented and rather bombastic and the lyrics are always seconda ry. That's no t just with country, that's with a lo t of pop m usic. I like a good catchy song as much as anybody else, but I'm a l yrics girl. I want to know whal the song says, what it means, if it's got a center to it that holds.

How would you assess the cur•

rent state of country music? I can't. People always ask me that question and I am the last person you should ask. I've lived in New York City for 20 years: there's no country radio station here. I'm a cultural Luddite as far as thal. I've never seen "American Idol." I hadn' t heard Taylor Swift unti l late last year.

Your daughter, Chelsea Crow• ell, released her debut album

last year. As you watch her make her way through the business, what have been the most strlk•

ing differences you've noticed from the way things were when you started?

These kids arc mostly sovereign. She makes her records at her friend's studio, she sells them herself on her website. She's not in the clutches of a major label, for better or worse. She doesn't have access to those marketing dollars, but she can do whatever she wants, and she's also able to keep it on a scale that she's comforl• able with. She doesn't want a ton of fame. She's very conflicted about that whole th ing, so she's moving slowly.

Also, there's less misogyny in the business t han when I was coming up. Maybe not misogyny, but sexism.

How did that manifest Itself when you came up? The first marketing meeting I had about maybe my first or second

record, they said in front of me that the image they wanted to create ofme was one that was-and I quo te-"fuckable."

Really? I swear to God. This was said to my face. In the building, at a meeting, to my face. I don't think

that would ever happen today. Or at least, i t wouldn' t be spoken aloud. [laughs[

How d id you feel when your

daughter told you that she wanted to pursue a career In music?

I fel t incredibly proud an d a lmost a sense of relief, like somebody's carrying on the family busi ness . She's s uch a g reat songwriter. I felt oddly like, "Oh, my God, I do n' t have to work so hard ." But also I fe lt worried abou t her because it' s no t an easy li fe.

You're a compulsive Twitter user. When did that start? Maybe December or something like that.

Only since December? You have thousands of tweets.

I know, I'm kind of embarrassed by it.

How did you first learn about Twitter?

I think Kurt An dersen. He's a writer and hosts th is great !public radioJ show, " Studio 360." He mentioned something about it and I thought, "Oh, wow.• And then I fou nd out that my record label was doing my tweets, that they were using my Twitter name (@RosanneCash). And I said, "I want to do this myself," and just took it over.

What do you like about it? If s a great way to d isperse manic energy and I have a lot of it. Even more than that, I've met some great

people on Twitter; I mean some real friends.

Do you ever feel the need to rein yourself In?

Oh, believe me, I do. I don't give away private stuff. It's just fun. I don't bare my soul o n Twitter.

How do you feel about the abll· lty for artists to have that direct connection with fans?

You have to know how to set boundaries. It can get \veird and even dangerous. As long as you know to have a thick skin and firm boundaries, I th ink it's great.

Tl IE DOCTOR IS IN,ATTI IE TREE-SHROUDED CONWAY Studios compound in Hollywood. and he won't be out any time soon.

Lukasz Gottwald-the writer/producer better-known to the explosive-chorus-loving world as Dr. Luke-has booked all three rooms at Conway for the enti re month of September. He's told his manager to cancel all meetings, and you might have to excuse him ifyourcall goes to voice mail. The deadline task at hand: Coming up with enough new songs for his protegee, KeSha, to get a deluxe repackaging of her debut album out in time for the holiday buying season.

Nothing is remotely done yet, and Ke$ha is only available for a three•wcck stretch, so he and fellow producers Benny Blanco and Ammo are hard at work coming up with rough tracks for the singer to put her starnpon. Howrnanysongsare they planning on adding to the "Animal" reissue?

"I'd like as many as eight, if possible," Gottwald says. "But I' ll be happy ifl got four or five great ones. And a lot depends on the next two weeks . She has a single right now, 'Take It Off; which is doing pretty well. Last time I checked, it was No. 11 on iTunes. Normally, an artist would be stuck in a fourth-single slump by now, so that's encouraging. But who knows . Two weeks from now, research could come in and say that song won't go as far as we had anticipated, and then that'll mean we need a new song right away."

lfGottwald's attention to chart detail sounds a little bit (as his nickname might suggest) scientific, he's positively a rocket engineer when it comes to the arts and sciences that take place inside the studio conlrol room, where he's known as a genial perfectionist nonpareil. He sweats the small stuff. But that sonic fussiness hasn't gotten him bogged down so much that it's kept him from racking up the most commercially enviable career in pop production at the moment.

Stats speak even louder than beats. On the Billboard Hot 100 right now, he's responsible as a co-writer and co-producer for 40% of the top 10: Taio Cruz's "Dynamite" (No. 3), Katy Perry's "Teenage Dream" (No. 2) and "California Curls" (No. 7), and Ke$ha's "Take It Off" (No. 10), which is defying a fourth-single slump. (He would have claimed half the top 10 if B.o.B and Rivers Cuorno's "Magic" hadn't s lipped 11-10.) He can claim four ofBillboard's 20 top-selling digital singles of all time, with KeSha's S million-selling "TiKToK," Flo Rida's "Right Round," Perry's " I lot N Cold" and Miley Cyrus' "Party in the U.S.A."

Then there are the earlier smashes that might've made that list had they been released later in the digital singles sales revolution. like Kelly Clarkson' s "Since U Been Gone" and "Behind These 1-Iazel Eyes.'' seminal collaborations with mentor Max Martin that put him on the pop map five years ago. That Gottwald was named ASCAP's songwriter of the year in April probably counts as a performing-rights no-brainer.

In the corning months, Gottwald will co-executive produce Britney Spears' 2011 project, a longside Martin. For his own label, Kemosabe, whose sole release so far is KeSha's .. Animal," he'll be working with his latest signings, female singers Sabi and Sophia Black. Meanwhile, taking off his executive hat. he's slill involved in plenty of production oneoffs, like an upcoming single for British po,,1erhouse vocal. is l Jessie J (who co-wrote "Party in the U.S.A." for herself before sacrificing it to Cyrus) .

- - ----==-==-------- --~----------~-----===--=----- -----

For the last five yea-rs, Gottwald has provided a veritable soundtrack for adolescence and young adulthood, assuming -the mantle of Tycoon of Teen that's been passed down from Phil Spector. There's hardly a ballad to be found in his catalog, which is full of rock-tinged dance-pop with an unabashedly ecstatic quality that makes even middle-aged top 40 listeners feel like they're living the teenage dream, to paraphrase Perry.

·· His hallmark is 'tempo' records-at worst, they're lmidtempo)-<:oupled with Ober-melody and great concepts," RCA/Jive Label Group chairman/CEO Barry Weiss says. Consider the fact that many of these concepts have involved some form or another of cheeky femaJe empowerment-see Perry's " I Kissed a Girl." Pink's ·u + Ur Hand• and Avril Lavigne's "'Cirlfriend"-and he could almost be considered an avatar of girls, or girl-lovers, everywhere.

But Gottwald. who will turn 37 in a fe"1 weeks, resists the suggestion that he might concoct these hits with the image of a teenage girl with an iPod in mind. His awareness of research and chart stats nol\1,rithstanding, he swears he's his own target audience.

"Apparently my taste is that of a 13-year-old girl," he jokes. '"Not really. But my taste is commercial. Listen, there's been times in my life like the two years that I only listened to jazz, and probably nothing after 1966. When I went to the Manhattan School of Music, the library didn't haveanythingafler 1966. In order to get good at that, I had to tunnel-vision and focus on that.

"But sometimes when I talk to those kinds of people, they're like, 'What is it like making this simple music?' They look down on it. And I'm like, 'No, you don't get it. I actually like this. I don't see a difference between brilliance in one and the other.' There's no compromise to me in what I'm doing. I'm trying to make songs that I love and make them fed a certain way and go to certain places. It just so happens that a lot ofl 3-year-old girls like that."

When Gottwald was 13, he was living in New York and just pie.king up the guitar, through the encourageme nt of an older sister. That stint studying jazz was followed by time spent as a session guitarist, jingle writer and, ultimately, house gui• tarisl for "Saturday Night Live"- a seven-year gig he didn't give up till well into his producing success, when he moved to Los Angeles in 2007. He was part of an ill-fated band, Wide, that signed to Atlantic through Jason Flom but never released

an album. ("Thal was how I was able lo gel some equipment to make mus ic." Gollwald recalls.)

At the same time, he was starting to gain notoriety for his hip-hop remixes. It was while D)'ing that he fatefully met the kingpin of'90s teen pop, Max Martin. W hen, on a whim, Mar•

tin invited h im to collaborate on some songs. he im mediately recognized in Gottwald a kindred spirit who shared his "'don't bore us, get lo the chorus" philosophy.

"'We were friends for a long time before we started work• ing," the notoriously press-averse Martin says (see Q&A, page 19). " I came to New York and just wanted to write something. so I called him up. because I knew he had a studio in his base. ment. We started working, and I instantly knew, because his instincts are really, how do you say it? He wants it to be effective. I was struck by that. 'No, no, that's too long. Get to the point!' And I'm known for that. But he took it even further, and l re• ally liked that."

Gottwald remembers well the genesis of "Since U Been Gone." "That was a conscious move by Max and myself, be· cause we were listening to alternative and indie m usic and talking about so me song- I don't remember what il was. I said, 'Ah, I love this song; and Max was like, 'lftheywould just write a damn pop chorus on it!' It was driving him nuts, because that indie song was sort of on six, going to seven, going to eight, the cho rus comes ... and ii goes back dow n to five. It drove him crazy. And when he said that, it was like, light bulb. 'Why don't we do that, but put a big chorus on it?' 11 worked.

.. But you have to reinvent that now, too," he continues. "It's something I th ink abou t a lot. You say a lot of those songs have an explosive chorus . But maybe a chorus needs to ex• plode in a different way. Maybe if they all become these big 18•wheeler trucks slamming into a wall, that in itself becomes anticlimactic . You've got to be careful. You want to ride a sound for a little bit, but you don't want to ride it too m uch,

to the polnl where it dies and you're associated with the death of that sound."

It was Sony Music chief creative officer Clive Davis' idea to give "Since U Been Gone" to Clarkson, but its writer/producers, certain that they had written a rock hit, were initially reluctant. "They weren't prepared for the casting idea,• Davis recalls. "Max was looking to move on from what he had done with Backstreet Boys, and I really spent time convincing them that an 'Ameri•

can Idol' winner could bring all the feeling and passion that was required to the song."

All of a sudden, though, Gottwald playing guitar on a lop 40 song became a much-imitated staple. "\Vith that song and 'Be

hind These Hazel Eyes: we were able to take Kelly Clarkson to a major seller of albums all over the world where they had never even heard of'American Idol,'"' Davis says. "'And on Kelly's last album, their song 'My Life Would Suck Without You' really got her back on the winning s ide of it.

"Then we had Pink, who had had tremendous success, but then had done a rock album ["Trouble") that did not fare as well. When you're a pop performer, you need hits. 'U + Ur Hand' really brought Pink the momentum that led lo a continuation of her worldv.ride success."

Gottwald was brought onto Lavignc's last album. "The Best

Damn Thing." under s imilar circumstances. °'That record was done before Luke got in," Gottwald's manager Mark Beaven says.· Her manager said, 'Look, the record's done. But ifhecan come up with a first single, we'd love to do it.' He went in for a few days, the few days extended, and that extended. And they just had such a great time that all of a s udden there were eight new songs [ofhisJ on her record, and e ight songs [by earlier producers[ that didn't make the record."

If you thought Gottwald needed a second nickname, you might call him "the Closer." " I hear this a lot, that the a rtists are with (other producers[, and they don't have a single, and they want to come to me or my friends and ask us to fix it. And it's like , why didn't we get the call before?" Possibly be•

cause his six-figure-per-track salary puts him out of range for some acts. until they realize they're in a pinch. at which time labels may take stock ofBeaven's contention that the odds of Luke producing a No. 1 single "are somewhere between 1-2 and 1·3."

Even on records he's in charge of-like Perry's "'Teenage Dream," on which he served as executive producer, as well as getting hands-on with five tracks-he takes an it's-not-overtill-it's•over stand.

"If Teenage Dream' didn' t sell a record, I would still love it, and also know I did everything possible to ensure its success,"

Gottwald says. "And when I say I did everything possible, I'm not just talking about the music. I'm talking about making peo• ple undersland that they're not done with the record, when they want to be done and don't want to work any more. Sometimes you have to do things in people's best interests and they don't even know it, and maybe they' ll figure it out later and thank you, and maybe they won't. Most likely they won't,

"'On 'Teenage Dream,' people on the managemenl side and label side were pretty much telling me that we were done, be· fore we had 'Teenage Dream' or 'California Gurls.' And I said, 'No, we're not done.' Those were the last t\vosongs we did. Maybe I'm just a neurotic New York Jew. But I feel like I know when it's right. I'll bet against myself, too. I want an insurance policy. I feel like if there's three or four right ones- not just three or four songs, but three or four songs that I feel are great- if the fi rst one doesn't go, and you have another one right behind it, it's going to connect. ..

And he takes it personally ifit doesn't connect, knowing that 1he artist's career is on the line more than his.

"Like ,vith Katy-she's now had two records, and I believe if you can get those both right, you're a career artist. If you can make huge first and second records, if you have a third record that sucks, you can s till do a four th record, no problem. And you have enough material out there that you can tour for as long as you want. But one record' No. You need two. I feel like that's someone's career. As opposed to an established artist who just expects ii, I do feel it's more exciting lo make a difference in somebody's life. So I want to do everything I can lo make sure that works . .,

Gottwald is mindful of his own career in some interesting ways. At a time when most artists and producers are panicking over declining album sales and \'filling to license hits and sell synch rights for a song, he's said "no" to a lot of potential ancil• lary income. Why be such a stickler for drawing that line?

"Let's just put it this way." he says, before pausing to collect


his thoughts. "I feel there's a value to music, and I feel people should be paid for it. We're at a stage where physical sales are going down. So if people aren't buying the m usic, bu t the music is the fuel for things being sold .. .

"'Fo r instance, if you do a game that's based on music, that's p layed to songs, and you pick the songs and buy the songs o n the videogame ... or there's a network that has 'music' and ' te levis ion" in the name of it .. . I don't th ink they should be

getting m usic for free. I don't care ifother people do it. But if no one takes a stand, there's no hope. And maybe it's a fu tile endeavor, I don 't know. But not on my watch. I mea n, if you wan t to license the Rolling Stones, you can't go , 'Hey, J want the Rolling Stones. Um,onco ntingency.'They'd be like, ' Fuck om We're the Rolling Stones.' And I think there's a value to m y catalog, too."

Gottwald's publishing company is administered by the powe rful ind ie Kobalt Music. whose CEO, Willard Ahdritz, is far m ore used to artists and p roducers who are desperate to take easy m o ney from licensing and synch deals. But he admires Gottwald's ,villingness to turn down such deals.

"You can see that he values his songs very highly, and rightly so ," Ahdritz says. "As we say in publishing. he is really creat• ing copyrigh ts. In this Internet age, where there is an attitude that m usic should be free, it's important that key powerhouses are defending the value of g reat songs.•

Gottwald earns the righ t to be that p rotective of his work and legacy through nuclear levels of m eticulousness. " No matter what kind o f song he's doing, he will work his ass o ff and stop a t nothing until it is the best," KeSha says. "lfit was a polka song, he'd m ade it the best fucking polka song in the e ntire world. He never half-asses anything."

Benny Blanco, his protegee and frequent co-producer, says, "'He's got a real passion for m usic, and you can feel it when you walk in the room. Yo u're like, ' Dam n, tha t dude always wants to m ake stuff!' Even at seven, e ight in the m orning, after being up all nigh t, ifhe hears som ething new on his computer, he stays and liste ns to it, sometimes 10, 20 times."

Jive's Weiss concurs: "He's a working-class guy. Me works like he's poor.all the time. And he's very anal abou t every sound o n every record."

Manager Beaven says tha t while many of his other clients "'will write one to five songs in a day, he m ight take two weeks.

The slightest little th ing tha t bothers him, he'll ftx. !·!e 's a systems guy. He could be one of the world's g reatest nuclear scie ntists i f he chose. He just likes lo understand the way things work together."

But ifhe likes to fix th ings, iro nically, he also reali~es that sometimes his job is to keep the artists from second-guessing their fi rSt impulses.

" I tried to rew rite the verses of 'TiK ToK,' • KeSha says. · 1 was like. 'This doesn't make sense. "'Brushing your teeth with Jack Daniel's"-are people going to get what I'm talking about' Is this too much? Is it clever enough?' And he literally had to fig ht me off, and then Benny Blanco had to chase m e out o f the studio when I got a mind lo rewrite it. He kepi saying, ' It's good. Just trust me, it's good.'

• He really le ts me be myself. All the crazy shit I say, he embraces, because he really embraced my personality. A lot of pro• d uce rs have tried to to ne it down. And I wouldn't be as successful as I have been had I been watered down."

" Here's the thing about Ke$ha." says Gottwald , who's sit• ting a t the board at Conway. about to play a track he and Blanco have been working o n for her. "She's really sm art , and she knows some o f the stuff is really stupid. So the part of her tha t knows m us ic and is ed ucated will be like, ' Really' ' And I'm like, ' No, if it's dum b and it's ca tchy and it works, it's cool.' Art ists in general, a nd myself included , have a tendency to overthink things. Sometimes my jo b is to prevent people from chang ing stuff."

He fires upa track they've al ready worked on with Ke$ha. As usual for her, it's an all-synth sound.

"A lot of people have asked m e, about her first record, ' How did you come up with the new sound? Your sound evolved!' • It was a new approac.h born out of necessity. "That was Ke$ha.

She calls the shots, and she said, 'I don' t wan t any guitars on my record.' I managed tosneakoneorlwoin there ... But you

I, Max In A Rare Interview, Writer/Producer Max Martin Discusses His Partnership With Dr. Luke, His Favorite Collaborations And Who's The Better Guitarist Max Martin has been the mosl press-shy writer/produc.er this side of Robert "Mutt" Lange. But he'll make an excep· tion. "As you know, I don't really talk to you guys so much, and I don't really know how todo this." Martin, 39, said when he got on the phone, by way of apologizing for his Swedish accent. But he agreed to talk to Billboard about close friend and collaborator Lukasz" Dr. Luke" Gottwald, whose fortunes have frequently been tied with his mentor's since they first struck gold in 2005 with Kelly Clarkson's "Since U Been

Gone" and • Behind These Hazel Eyes." Martin credits "Since U Been Gone" -and Gottwald's as

sist- for his re-emergence as a star producer. After learning at the feet of Ace ofBase producer Denniz Pop, Martin became the biggest behind-the-scenes name brand in pop in the late '90s with ineffable hits for Britney Spears{" ... Baby One More Time") and Backstreet Boys ("I Want It That Way").

Martin had a few professionally quiet years in the early 2000s, before the fateful resurgence that made it seem like he'd never been gone. He and protege•turned-equal Gottwald have worked apart more often than not, with Martin going it alone on recent hits like Spears' "3" and "lfYou Seek Amy" and Usher's •oJ Got Us Fallin' in love."

But it's seeing the two names in tandem that really whets

pop enthusiasts' appetites- as with Clarkson's "My Life Would Suck Without You," Pink's •u + Ur Hand" and Katy Perry's "I Kissed a Girl" and "Hot N Cold"-plus five songs on Perry's sophomore album, including its first two smash singles, "Dlifornia Curls" and "Teenage Dream."

Do you remember the first eureka moment you experienced with Gottwald?

I remember when we comped vocals for Kelly on "Since U Been Gone." We listened back to it and it started sounding like a record. I remember that was a big moment, like, "Holy shit! I think we did it!" There was a lot of jumping around

and laughing.

Can you think of anything he d id In particular on one of your hits that provided a turning point In the making of the song?

TI1ere's a bunch of those. The thing is that when we work together, it's very dynamic. It's rare that I come up with an idea and it ends up the same in the end. I do remember for the Katy Penysong that's out now, "Teenage Dream, "where Benny !Blanco] did a track, and then Luke just started singing, and he had this flow, where everything that ca.me out was great, including the chorus. He was just standing there and screaming, and it just wrote itself. And I picked up my Dictaphone and started recording- like, ""We c.an' t miss one se<:.ond of this." Thal was a big moment.

Gottwald is singing through such disto rted Auto-Tune, it's impossible to te ll w hat he's saying-which is deliberate, so he won 't und uly influence KeSha when she comes up with her own lyrics.

Meanwhile, she's already laid dow n spoken-word sections on the verses. Gottwald is laughingly unsure whether to caU it "'rap" or just '''her white-girl thing." It's very much in line with her chosen persona- a nd very m uch irresistible- but apparently, she's no t as sure about it as her producer is. The

words: "I' m in love all righ t/With my crazy beautiful life/With the parties, the disasters/With m y friends all pretty and plas-

Since " Since u Been Gone," you and Gottwald have been associated with pop songs for females that have

a little bit of rock'n'roll edge to them. Why are you drawn to that sound? \Veil, I have a rock background, too. I Martin started his career playing guitar ina Swedish glam-metal band called It's Alive.] For some reason we"re stuck a little bit with the girls. (laughs) For both of us, the most important thing is that it has to be a fun project. I think we' re very alike in that sense.

Music must be fun. And right now, it seems like girls are fun. \Vhich, you know, makes sense.

Do you have a favorite of the stuff you've done together? The last session, the Katy stuff, was amazing. I think recording Snoop IDoggl on "California Curls" was one of the highlights of my career, because he's really cool. Working with Katy and Pink and all these artists makes it really easy to be good. But the last Katy sessions were really fun because it was fast. We did five or six songs in la short time!. It has to be fast and fun.

"Since U Been Gone" is very special to me, because first of all, I think it's a great song, I have to say, and she's a great singer. And it was my comeback, and it was his starting point.

Is there anything you could identify that's unique to your collaborations with Gottwald?

lfhe wanted to, I could do anything with him, really. He can travel in many worlds-in hip-hop and pop music and urban and rock and whatever. With his background as a guitar player, it seems within pop or rock. there's nothing he's not capable of. I'd follow him anywhere. paughs] I think he's

more versatile than me, actually.

You really believe that? Um, he's a better guitar player than me. [laughs) No, he's

got really deep roots in hip-hop. And that's something that's further away from me. Having that in your arsenal makes it cool.

Do you fall along the same lines on the scale of perfec• t lonlsm to spontaneity?

Yeah. I think that's one of the reasons he is where he is today. He's always very particular about stuff, and he sticks with it. He doesn't say, ·oh, that's great, that's fine." We both rewrite. He always says, "You should never leave a stone unturned." You might end up in the same place where you started, but you want to try everything before you set• tie. A lot of people hire people to do theirstuff, to do what made you go there. But Luke is slill a studio nerd, which is really important. - CW

PROGRAMMINGAND ARTISTS OF ALL

STRIPES WHO ARE HAPPILY CASHING IN

BY ANN DONAHUE ILLUSTRATION BY DREW FRIEDMAN

The business of me: A ubrey O'Day, Vanilla Ice and Fantasia Barrino (from left).

Bret Michaels, veteran of six--count 'em, six-reality s hows, has two bits of advice for artists looking to break into the genre:

"Never wear whi te on TV unless you're at your fighting

weight," he says. "And never drink too much in Cabo if you're going to be on 1V. •

A decade after Fox debuted "American Idol" and eight years after MlV's "The Osbournes" showed the world that, yes, even the dogs of rock icons pee on carpels, this fall's music reality programming slate offers the most robust selection yet-from home improvement to first-person show and tell-proving that

there's no shortage of artists willing to grace the small screen in new, potentially humiliating ways.

" It's become the shortcut to fame;" Sharon Osbourne says. "'There's no more s truggling and banging on people's doors

and begging to be heard and taking your demo around plead• ing for an appointm ent with an A&R guy. TI1osedays are gone. It's the world now oflV and the Internet.·

Artists with shows premiering this fa ll include a hodgepodge of format veterans: On Oct. 18, Michaels will be launching his seventh reality show, this time alongside his family in "Bret Michaels: Life As I K11ow 11: on VHl. On Style on Sept. S, "Mel B: It's a Scary World" debuts, following up the former Spice Girl's "Dancing With the Stars'" appearance. Another veteran of the genre returning to the fold is Vanilla Ice, whose "The Vanilla Ice Project." debuts on the DIY Network Oct. 14. The show documents Vanilla Ice masterminding a home renova• tion based on his self-taught home improvement experience.

.. A big concern for us as a network that prides itsel f on offer• ingpeopleexpert advice was that he really know his stuff," DIY Network president of programming Andy Singer says. "And he really does-in the opening scene he's driving through Palm Beach looking a t people's landscapes . . . and he's quot ing the

Latin names of trees and bushes." Other fall season debuts seek to bring those on the fr inges

of music success into the mainstream. VHl will launch "'La La

& Carmelo" about the courtship of MTV VJ la la Vazquez and Denver Nuggets forward Carmelo Anthony, while Oxygen looks at theassistantsofDef)am founder Russell Simmons on "'Run• ning Russell Simmons" on Nov. 2. BET will launch• Being Terry Kennedy" Oct. 12, with pro skateboarder "TK" Kennedy, who's also a member of rap group Fly Society. "Skateboarding is a situation "''here you got to love pain." Kenned y says . .. Music. for m e, is a way to release pain."

Bui it's not a ll flash and quick edits: On Sept. 7, I FC launches "'360 Sessions," where David Cray, La Roux, Stereophonics and

Snoop Dogg will be profiled in their own words and perform on the half-hour show. "To be given an opportunity to tell your story in the way you want to tell it is rare in television these days," I FC senior VP of original programming Debbie DeMontreux says. "'It's o rganic and intimate access."

These new shows join the legion of artists across genres, ages, genders and career stages who have participated in re• ality TV: from witty piano-banger Ben Folds as a judge on

N BC's s hort-lived a cappella show "The Sing Off" to Fantasia Barrino, discovered on .. American idol," returning to VH 1 on Sept. 19-a month after a suicide attempt-with the second season of .. Fantasia for Real," to the roll call of fame-seekers

both young and not-so-much: Jessica Simpson, Sean "Diddy" Combs, Nick Cannon, J.C. Chasez, Nicole Scherzinger, Aubrey O'Da.y, Dee Snider, Monica, Chilli, Gene Simmons. Brandy,

Brooke Hoga n, Nick Lachey, Trey Songs and Keyshia Cole, lo name just some.

" It's now part of the marketing plan," says Stephen Hill, executive VP of entertainment and music program ming at BET, which airs shows starring Songz, Cole and Monica. "Twenty years ago, it was videos tha t were rotating up to a hundred t imes a day."

Since music videos have been largely exiled to the Internet. music reality TV programming provides a viable outlet for promotion-especially now that the stigm a surrounding the shows has faded. In an era when indie darling Arcade Firedoesn't view teaming with American Express as a one-way ticket to cool jail, following in the footsteps of"Joe Millionaire" is just o ne more way to help replace missing CD revenue.

Going nuclear (from 1Jtt): BRET MICHAELS and famil~RANDY, RAY J and parents; M Band clan.

FOR LOVE AND HONEY There are three broad categories for m usic.ians to partic ipate on reality TV shows: as a host, as a judge or as a star.

From lherc. lhc contracts get complicated. Payouts depend on where the TV show ai rs-networks . with their bigger au• die nccs, provide a larger base for advertisers and ca n shell oul more money for talent than cable outlets. The s tature of the musician also comes into play.

"With reality TV, it's incredibly important to a ttach a celebrity. but it doesn't have to be A-list-it can be B, or C.lis t, • says Glenn Litwak, an entertainment attorney with Utwak & Havkin in Los Angeles who has negotiated deals for the shows " Real World," " Real World/Road Rules Challenge," ·oancelife· and " Pussycat Dolls Present: The Search forthe Next Doll.• "You just need some kind of name and some kind of inleresting personality. Very often , it's not A-list celebr ities because the budgets wouldn't be able to afford those kinds of people.·

On the lowest end of the pay scale would be an unknown participant on a dating reality show on an obscure cable chan• nel. Litwak says. In that scenario, the person could expect to

earn about $1,000 an episode. The outlier of the o ther side of the spectrum is "American Idol." where Lihvak says that the judges-whoever they may eventually be-can ea rn seven figures per season.

That leaves a lot of territory in the middle for artists and their representatives to wheel and deal, Li twak says. "' For hosting. a midsizc recording artist could get $25.000-$35,000

an episode." he says. "But if that person is the creator/exec· utive producer, they're going to get fees each episode that could be in the range of$15,000,$20,000, and that could have

escala tions for s ubsequent seasons of the show." Litwak defines a midsize artist as someone like Ma.X\vell or Ginuwineneither of whom he represents-"someone who is known, but is not huge; is famous, has made a lot of money. bu t not Lady Gaga or Madonna."

The results for midsizeartists is striking. "Without a doubt, you massively broaden your audience," Michaels says. "I've gone from two generat ions of Poison fans to having four generations of fans."

If, like Michaels, the artist becomes a one•person reality

franchise, his or her pay will increase substant-ially. The perepisode pay increases are about 5% for each subsequent se3• son. Litwak says. and there's an additional bonus if the show

is spu n off. The best deal for the talent to get, he says. is to be credited as an executive producer for the life of the series and any spinolfs that may be generated. This gives the artist both a short and long-term payday.

There are variations. of course. The network may opt to a t• tach the talent as executive producer for o ne season only, but offer to pay the artist as a "'consultant" for the second season if the network ,,•a nts to m ake a personnel change after the first cycle of episodes. (Being a consultant in this manner, Litwak drolly notes, .. may not involve any actual services.")

There's a downside to being an executive prod ucer, how• eve~ It kind of sucks . " It's a big job that I don't really like that much," says Sharon Osbourne, who executive-produced "Os· bournes Reloaded" last year. " You've got big responsibilities to the network. you've got big responsibilities to the other people who are in the show ...

Ray J, was an executive producer of VH 1 's ··For the Love of Ray)" and "Brandy & Ray J: A Family Business· and deals with everything from routine paperwork to clearances. "It's making s ure all of the deta ils are covered: discussing the storylines, d iscussing what is going to happen during the day," she says.

For those onscreen, the network will ask for an exclusivity provision-if the talent is hosting a dance show, for instance, the artis t will be prohibited from hosting the same on any other network. Other promotional appearances-like doing the late-night or early•moming chat show circuit-are allowed.

At all times, the broadcaster retains the right to pull the plug on the show, Litwak says. "You pitch a show, and then the network or cable outlet shoots some test footage, and then maybe they'll shoot a pilot. and then maybe they'll shoot a certain number of episodes, but they have the right at any time to stop; he says.

And if negotiations reach a stumbling point, an artist's team can pull out this fact: According to the Hollywood Reporter, "Jersey Shore" star Mike "the Situation" Sorrentino is pulling in $60,000 per episode for the upcoming third season of the series.

STARS, THEY'RE JUST LIKE US 1bose who have been through the reality TV machine agree that the fame it creates is instantaneous and huge. ''TV is the

biggest medium there is," Osbourne says. "["The Os bou rnes"] aired on a Tuesday, and that Sunday I'd take n

the kids to Venice Beach and we couldn' t walk because people kept on coming up to us. It was unbelievable."

The exposure these music reality TV shows bring varies by what network or cable outlet they a iron and what audience they target.

"Amer ican Idol; of cou rse, is the granddaddy of them all. Pitched for the widest possible audience. it

rema ins the most-watched show on TV and delivers in excess of 20 million viewers twice per week, according

to Nielsen. By comparison, a show like •what Chilli Wants,· star

ring former T LC member Rozonda "Chilli" Thomas, is directed at VH I •score 25- to 35-year-old dem ograph ic

and gains extra exposure with this audience from reruns and online content. "I thought that it would be great for women to see that it's OK to be by yourself until you find the per fect person for you; Chill i says. "I d id it for me and all the women in America."

For the fi rst season of"Chilli; ratings averaged 1.3 mil-lion total viewers per episode, according to Nielsen, and the second season star ts filming Sept. 13. That's on par with most olher slice-of.life music reality shows that air on cable: "Gene Sim mons Family Jewels" on A&Eaveraged 1.4 million viewers in its most recent season that ended Aug. 24. (Competition shows do a bit better. ac-cording to Nielsen: VHl's "Rock of love Bus• with Michaels averaged 2 million viewers and MTV's "Making the Band4 Season 3" averaged 1.5 million.)

· w e've come to realize it's hard to make shows about the process of making music, but we know our viewers are voracious consumers and they love m usic," says Jeff Olde, VH I executive VP

of original programming and production. In terms of album and single sales, the successes are legendary:

Multiplatinum sellers Susan Boyle, Carrie Underwood and Kelly Clarkson all got their start on reality TV. Others have seen more m odest- but still no table- sales success: Most recently, Fantasia's "Back to Me" sold 117,000 firs t-week copies, according to Nielsen SoundScan. (1bc reality TV halo even extends to music projects that m ay have been generated as a result of a pact with tl1edevil. In Janua1y, Heid i Montag'sdebut album, "Superficial; reached No. 41 on Billboard's Heatseekers chart.)

One element remains consistent, however. Make a mark on one reality show. and it almost guarantees the chance at anothe r season or spinoff. "If vfe're doing a series, the goal for us isn' t just to have one season." Olde says. 'The goal is to have multiple seasons."

For exam ple, VHl dating show ··forthe Love of Ray )" spun off with .. Brandy & Ray J: A Fam ily Business; which features the siblings and their parents- a expansion of the franchise that took the Norwood clan som e time to decide todo. "Brandy and Ray J, they're used to the cameras,· Sonja Norwood says.

Jan. 10, 2007 Oct. 22, 2007 Feb. 11, 2008 July 20, 2008 Oct. 28, 2008

"But my husband and I, we were like, 'Oh, my God.' When we were shooting the commercial I for "Family Business"), they had to come and coach us on four lines. They would stop the production and say, ' Mom? Dad? You guys got to do it this way.' •

GENERATION NEXT After dozens of music reality TV shows have debuted, the challenge becomes changing up the format enough to keep viewers interested. " It's k ind oflikesaying. 'When are people going to get s ick ofbooks?' • Olde says_ "If you tell them a good story and give them a good character that they care about, I don't think there's an end for it.·

Part of this comes from c.astingoutre performers to draw in the audience- Oxygen recently announced a reality show in development with former" Making the Band" s tar/Danity Kane member Aubrey O'Day-but new format tweaks to the genre arc also in the works.

Evan Bogart, who's part of the songwTiting collective lhe Writ• ing Cam p, with credits on Beyonce's "Halo·· and Rihanna's "SOS." is working with True Entertainment and Bravo on "'Hitrnakers." The show is in the final stages of casting, he says_

"A couple of years ago I said. 'I wish there was a show for songwriters, like 'Songwriter Idol,'• Bogart says. "A lot of times, people come up to me and they're like, 'How do you write a song' ' I can't tell anybody how to write a song. The only way to tell you is to show you how to write a song."

Looming over all of these shows is the fall 201 I debut of"The X Factor" on Fox, ex-"American Idol"' judge Simon Cowell's U.K. import. •x Factor" is a talent competition l ike "Idol" but features much more intensive mentorShip of the conteslants by the judges. In England, •x Factor" netted more than 11 million viewers- an astonishing 47.8% share of the total TV audience in its time frame-for its season premiere on Aug. 21 , according to the Broadcasters' Audience Research Board.

Despite making a reported $50 million per year toward the end of his tenure as a host on "Idol," Cowell stands to have a much bigger payoff on "X Factor," since he serves as judge a nd executive producer with his production company, Syco Televi• sion. Besides doubtlessly earning a big payday for licensing the format from the United Kingdom to American 1V, it also means that he stands to gain a share of whatever music sales are generated from the talent on the show.

Sharon Osbourne was a judge on •x Factor" in the United Kingdom for four years and is now in her fourth year as a judge on "America's Cot Talent"-another British format import. Amid her many experiences with the medium-she also was a contestant on "Celebrity Apprentice" earlier this year-she says artists looking to break into reality 1V should know that one fact holds constant.

"You cannot bullshit the public." she says. "Yes, people will vote for you because they like you or because they feel sorry for you- but if you put out a record and it sucks, it ain't going to sell. It's over.•

HipMama Corin Tucker Keeps Her Bite On Solo Debut

The prevailing cultural attitude, at least for the

determines not only your musical preferences, but your outlook on life.

the '90s and helped lead the trio through an ac

Kill Rock Stars VP Maggie Vail says she

begged Tucker for years to record a solo album, despite acknowledging that it can be scary for

fans when an ar tist goes it a lone. "Corin would play here and there, and I

would tell her, if she ever did a solo record we

would put it out," she says. ··Corin didn' t give it to us unt il it was done, and we were all sitt ing around just dying of curiosity to hear it."

Vail says the marketing plan will be fairly

low key, while she hopes to both re-energize Sleater-Kinney fans and

passed all expectations, Island Records U.K. marketing direc

debut, " I Had the Blues butt Shook Them Loose," has sold 88,000 in the United Kingdom,

according to the OCC, but

never broke the top 40. " 'Flaws' is a record that we

did between albums but it is a remarkable piece of work. It shows what depth there is to

them," Boorman says. National top 40 station Radio l's

decision to add first single "Ivy and Gold" to its A-list was a key sales d river, she adds.

The band will head to the

States in the fall to record its next album, due for release

If Stephen Christian was only spending his time pursuing his MBA and operating Faceless International, the nonprofit organization he co-founded to fight human trafficking and slavery, that

would keep him plenty busy. But what makes the Nashville resident's talents so impressive is that he finds time for such projects whilefrontlng rock band Anberlin, whose next album "Dark Is the

Way, Light Is a Place," arrives Sept. 7 on Republic Records. Lead single "Impossible" has swiftly climbed Billboard's Alternative chart, currently sitting at No. 8. Christian talked with Billboard

while he was in Germany about the new album and how he'll hit the books as he hits the road.

1 The album has a track called "The Art of War." How does it reflect the phlloso·

phles or the book?

I was reading the correlation between those who strategize relationships and those who put actual emotions behind it. JAuthorJ Sun Tzu was so calculated. Every move that he would make or that he wrote was basically how to ap

proach your enemy, befriend him and strate• gize out a friendship. It kind offelt like how cold and calculated relationships can be some• times; like, who has the upper hand. Isn't that kind of defeating the whole point of a relationship, 1,vhether it's a friendship or a girlfriend or a boyfriend or a marriage? If you're trying to strategize and plan it out and read self-help books and figure out the other person, it seems like it takes out the whole allure of what a re• lationship really is.

2 You've said that when you were writ· ing the lyrlcs for the song "Depraved/' you wrote whatever came to your head and the

finished result Is ad·llbs and Freudian slips.

What were some of those slips? I'm so intrigued by conspiracy theories. I'm not a believer in them but I read them methodically because I think they're this cusp of reality that I can't grasp, that I can' t relate to, and so ii was kind oflike the lyrics of the song were about conspiracy theorists and those who buy into Obama as theanti-christ. Jlt feels like those peopleJ are slaves to this alternate thinking, and it's bound to destroy them. It' s just bound to negate anything

they've ever said as truth, and so that's what the song's about.

3 How does a psychology graduate make

a U-turn into becoming a rock musician? [Laughs] Maybe I was just bred to be a musi• cian and not so much a psychologist, and therefore I chose psychology because I felt like ii was the only major that could keep my attention for four years. It's like math really didn't have ii and science I really couldn't grasp it,and so for me it was one of those things where the human mind w·as intriguing.

4 What made you decide to continue your education to get an MBA?

It is very unlikely that this generation needs or wants or will create a Rolling Stones or a U2. We're such an ADHD generation. We want the nex t b ig single-what's on the

iTunes playlist today? It' s like. no one wants to create a Bob Dylan. So I doubt this band will be around in 10years, and there needs to be something tha t I can fall back on . .. I'm really into humanitarian work, and I fell li ke , "What !do these countries nccdJf They need doctors, and they need some kind of sus• tainable economy so they can grow (and not] delve into human trafficking or sex trafficking or drugs. But if they can sus• tain an economy in a community, then maybe they can grow and prosper and be able to feed themselves." So, for me, an MBA was the logical end conclusion of that synops is.

5 Your band has solid album sales. Do you really think you're not going

to last beyond 10 years? Who's to say> That's not a decision that I can make. It's the decision that the fan has

to make. It' s a decision, sadly, that [Nielsen] SoundScan decides. because if a label looks at a So undScan number and goes, .. You aren't meeting this criteria, I'm going to drop you," that's the fan's choice, because they c.hose to either illegally download it or just not listen to the record .. . I would love to be around in 10 years, but that is not a decision [where] I gel to decide my future. My fate rests in the hands of others.

6 How do you juggle studying for a de· gree when you're traveling all over the wor1d? !laughs] I don' t know yet. Call me back in a month and I 'II teU you.

An official video for the song premiered earlier

this week. Co-written and produced by the Smeez• ingtons (fravie McCoy's "Billionaire" and B.o.B's "Noth in' on You'") and featuring Smeeiinglonsco· principal and Elektra label m ate Bruno Mars, "Fuck You" is also spurring fevered interest in ''The Lady Killer," according to Green .

One thing he has to do is settle on a final track

the songs appear o n a free mixtape he has released, "Stray Bullets." It includes "You Don' t Shock Me Anymore" and a cover of Band of Horses' "'No One's

Gonna Love You." However, Green's calendar is basically filled for

the rest of the year. He's recording a new album

with former group Goodie Mob and has been in talks with Danger Mouse to start work on another Gnarls Barkley release for early 2011 . He's also host•

correct hit single- though he had his doubts that it would make an impact . ... It was more certain a

Full strea m ahead: THE WEEPIES

ADDED VALUE W hole Foods' Artist Discovery Series has picked its next spotlight act. The

campaign will focus on pop/folk duo the Weepies and its Nettwerk album,

"Be My Thrill" (Aug. 31), which w ill be the first full release streamed on the

company's W hole Story blog. The alliance occurred when Nett

wer1< VP of sales Dutch Cramblit! con· tacted his Alternative Distrib ution Alliance representative, seeking a

unique online partner to help premiere the Weepies' fourth alb um. That led him to Beverly Hills, Calif.

based Inspire Entertainment, which pairs bands and brands for compa

nies like Kimberly-Clark, JCPenney and Austin-based Whole Foods.

Besides their socially conscious b ent, the Weepies shared another

Whole Foods attribute: a target demo of smart mi llennials and their moms. "We have a pretty good sense of who

is paying attention to who; part of our job is to be a matchmaker in that way," Inspire president Jimmy Dunn says.

In addition to a three-month dis

p lay in Whole Foods' 275 stores,

"Thrill" began streaming in full Sept. 1 o n the Whole Story b log. The set is also promoted on Whole Foods' home page and across its social assets, including its 1.8 million Twitter followers.

"We were interested in Whole Foods primarily for t he streaming, and the retail program worked out

as a bonus," says Cramblitt, who likes

the site because " it doesn't sell you anything. It features items that give

value to people, l ike recipes and how-to articles."

In addition to the Artist Discovery

Series (which has featured artists Jesca Hoop a nd Mishka), the chain selects 10 new CDs for sale each month, curated by Inspire. Declining

to divulge figures, Who le Foods senior coordinator Jeremiah McElwee

says sales have been strong. Mcelwee says that several years

ago the company began selling cur

rent releases and world music. As sales grew, Whole Foods expanded

the concept to more regions. "Eventually, all of our U.S. stores jumped onboard as sales continued to climb."

C Re;,,d C hart Beat e>Jery week at b l l lb oard.com/ chartbeat

'Teenage' Tops; CD Singles See Surprising Surge As expected, Katy Perry is crowned q ueen of the Billboa rd 200 as her second Capi tol effort starts atop the c har l with 192.000 sold in its fi rst week. accord ing to Nielsen So undScan. II marks her best sales week a nd a new ch art h igh . She returns sing le la d ies to the tal ly's throne for the fi rst ti me since Ja nuary: Ke$ha w a s the las t s o lo woman to reign at No. 1 (with "An imal") .

Perry's last album, "One of the Boys.· debuted and peaked at No. 9 in July 2008 with 47,000 sold in its premiere ,,1eek. Its best sales frame was during Christmas week of2008 when it shifted 63,000, but on a lower rung on the tally.

Perry has been red h ot this year o n the Bi l lboard c harts, havi n g earned a pair of No. ls on liot Digital Songs with "California Gi rls" and the new album's title track . .. Girls" has sold 3.6 million downloads and is 2010's second-best-sellin g song next to Train 's " Hey, Soul Sister" (3.8 m illion). "Girls" also s pen t s ix wee ks at No . 1 on the sales/airplay/streaming hybrid Billboa rd Hot I 00 chart and three weeks a top the rad io-based all-format Hot 100 Airplay chart.

All of these statistics made some industryi tes think that the "Teenage Dream" album was going to sell a lo t mo re unit s in its fi rst week (see s tory, page 5)-

Though Perry's album could have made a bigger splash, it ' s clear that some

artists sim ply resonate more on the track level th a n on th e a lb u m level. And right now at leas t, Perry is sel li ng boat load s of trac ks. She's s t ill a major star with one of the biggest hi t singles of the year,

but consumers just aren' t will ing to fork over $10 for a full album's wor th of "' Drearn'' yet.

Of cou rse, there is a lso the continuing e rosion of album sales in gen• era!. which is reflected not just in the debut of "Teenage Dream,• but in every tit le on the Billboard 200.

There a re many acts that have felt the st ing of a huge hit si ngle not t ransl at ing into huge first-week albu m sales.

For example : Flo Rida's 2009 hit s ingle, " Right Round ." The s o ng sold 2.6 mil lion down loads before h is " R.O.O.T.S." set charted on the

Bill board 200 at a tepid No. 8 with 55,000 copies.

For Flo. i t was absolutely all a bout

the tracks. He resonated as a singles art ist a nd d idn' t t ra n s la te as a n albu m artist.

Obvious ly, Perry's siluat ion is different. Not on ly has she sold a heck of a lot more songs, but her album's first-week debut was mu ch large r. That's a good sign, perhaps pointing to what could be a lengthy chart li fe for "Teenage Dream.·

SINGLES ACTION: It's not o f\en we have a reason to spotlight the liot Singles Sales chart, but this week we're making a n exception. The tally

KENNY CHESNEY

(see page 36) tracks not only physical single configurations like CD singles and 7-. 10- and 12-inch vi nyl. but a lso digital single bundles.

All top nine tit les on the list sell a t least 1,000 units, with the No. 1 song-Kenny Chesney' s "The Boys

of Fa ll"-moving 6.000. It's the first time the top nine have all shifted at least 1,000 copies s ince the Ma rch 11, 2006, chart.

Ch esney' s two-t rack CD s ingle joins titles from Selena Gomez. Z ac Brown Band, Sugarland, Llnkin Park, Katy Perry, Bllly Cur· rlngton, Ne•Yo and Usher in the

top 10, giving the chart an atypical A-list glow.

Labels have been experimenting with two-track C D singles latelysome e xclusive to one reta iler and some not. And a few of those CD singles come with cou pons toward fu. ture album releases. (Thin k of it as the physica l version of the "complete my album" scheme.) Others have sticke rs promoting the chance to pre• order the artis t's upcoming album from the retailer 's website.

A total of 56,000 singles was sold last week, which is the biggest frame for singles since the week ending April 18, w hen 62 ,000 were sold. That latter figure was the result of Record Store Day festivities, when many in die retailers were stocked with well-hyped exclusive singles.

T his week is also the best o ne for physica l s ingle sales since that April 18 frame. Out of the 56,000 sold last

week, 37,000 were physical. That matc hes the 37,000 physical copies sold in the week ending April 18.ou-

GOOD\MC)l~l(S_ NEVER SHOUT NEVER PROMOTES FLOWER POWER Singer/songwriterChristofer Drew, who performs under the name Never Shout Never, has taken a unique approach to promoting gardeni ng: Fan s who buy his newest album, "Har• mony," will find a small sheet of paper embedded with wildflower seeds and instructions on how to grow them.

• J feel like kids these days don't plan t flowers or anylhing like that," the 19-ycar-o ld arlist says. "Growing up. my mom always got me into that. I remember the feeling of g rowing something and having to take care of it. It makes you realize that there's life other than us humans."

To grow the seeds, fans are directed to soak the piece of paper in a glass of water foroneday, then plant the sheet under a thin layer of soil and water daily until the seedlings begin to e merge. The paper also plugs the website for the American

Community Gardening Assn. (communitygarden.org). Alim• ited ed.it ion of"l-larmony" included a small flowerpot.

Drew says his m ain goal with the seeds is to promote li fe in general. ·We're in a material world and somctimcs,11,•e for• get that we should be taking care of the Earlh, because it's k ind of all we got," he says.

Although his busy caree.r doesn't aUow much time for gar• deningat home. Drew notes that he's '"trying to grow my own weed sometime soon."

" Harm ony" (Loveway/Sire Records) debuts this week at No. 14 on the Billboard 200 with 23,000 copies sold, accord• ing to Nielsen SoundScan. - Mirc/1ell Porers
