T attributed to Beats’ head-phones and speakers, which brought in roughly $1 billion in revenue in 2013. Still, label executives believe the fl edg-ling Beats Music streaming service (which sources value at more than $300 million), will play a crucial strategic role in Apple’s plans.

With more than 800 mil-lion credit cards on fi le and a seamless relationship with

millions of iPhone, iPad and Mac owners around the world, Apple is positioned to grow market share quickly. That could pose a challenge to Spotify, the streaming market leader, with 6 million paying

subscribers worldwide.There are a lot of smaller

players who could be ripe for consolidation — including Rhapsody, Rdio, Slacker and Songza, say several execu-tives. And some speculate that Apple’s moves could aff ect Spotify’s plans for an initial public off ering this fall. (Ek declined to comment, as did Apple and Beats.)

Whatever happens, “this

raises the game a notch,” says a senior label executive. “This is a huge statement from Apple about the stra-tegic value of music to their business. Their rivals are likely to follow.”

to consumers. Google and Amazon declined to comment.

Spotify CEO Daniel Ek says he would not be surprised to see Apple, which took a tentative fi rst step into the market by launching iTunes Radio last summer, roll out a competing service. “I’ve always assumed they would eventually off er on-demand streaming,” Ek tells Billboard. “We’re not fi ghting over market share here. It’s still such a small market that’s growing fast.”

The market is indeed small. Beats had fewer than 200,000 paying subscribers in its early months (although it is projected to grow to 1.5 million users by the end of its fi rst year).

Ninety percent of the value of an Apple-Beats deal is

“ This raises the game a notch. [Apple’s] rivals are likely to follow.”

TALKS CONTINUED AT PRESS TIME over Apple’s bid to buy Beats Electronics for a reported $3.2 billion. But the ripple eff ects are already being felt among players in the growing market of streaming music providers — which is set for a period of rapid consolidation during the next 12 months, say industry executives.

The deal may spur tech giants like Google and Amazon to make bids of their own for the likes of Spotify and Rhapsody — the big-gest and fi rst on-demand music streaming subscription services, respectively — as they seek to make their digital platforms more attractive

Building Beats

AApple is reportedly acquiring Beats Electronics for $3.2 billion, with Jimmy Iovine and Dr. Dresaid to be taking senior roles at the company. Predictably, the Apple faithful are freaking out.

I spent a lot of time among these folks, back when I was writing the “Fake Steve Jobs” blog. They have a cultlike devotion to the Apple brand and are notoriously averse to change. Tell them that their beloved company is buying

a mass-market headphone maker and that two guys from the rap world are about to become top executives, and yes, this is going to be a shock to the system.

The thing is, a good shock may be exactly what Apple needs.

Since Jobs’ death, nearly three years ago, Apple has grown risk averse. Its growth has stalled. Tim Cook, the handpicked successor, is a smart number cruncher, but he’s no Steve Jobs.

Iovine may not be either, but he’s closer than

East Village Radio, Manhattan’s beloved Internet-only radio station,

announced that it will air its last broadcast on May 23 after 11 years

in operation, owing to crushing performance-royalty costs.

Capitol Records chief Steve Barnett is riding high. His new

boy band 5 Seconds of Summer is sizzling. U.K. vocal sensation Sam Smith’s debut album looms. And

Katy Perry’s “Dark Horse” has legs.

Glee, once a hit machine, suffered a low-rated season finale. A reported

feud between Lea Michele and Naya Rivera may have forced

script changes. And the show’s final season may be cut short.

Sony/ATV’s Martin Bandier and Jody Gerson bagged publisher of the year honors at the BMI Pop

Awards. Among their hits: Taylor Swift’s “I Knew You Were Trouble” and Justin Timberlake’s “Mirrors.”

you might think. The two have a lot in common. Both were scrappy working-class kids whose success came not from family pedigree or an Ivy League school but from talent and chutzpah.

In 2002, Iovine was instrumental in help-ing Jobs persuade five top music labels to sign on to the iTunes Store, according to Wa l te r I s a a c s o n , Jobs’ biographer. Iovine was run-ning Interscope Geffen A&M, part of Universal

Music Group (the job he still holds). In 2004, Iovine helped Jobs broker a deal with U2 to cre-ate a special U2 edition of the iPod.

I talked to Isaacson this week. He went back to the notes he had taken while preparing his Jobs biography and found something that he didn’t include in the book, which seems massively interesting now: a comment from Iovine that back in 2002 and 2003, he wanted the Apple chief to acquire Universal. Iovine declined a request for an interview.

Isaacson thinks the Apple-Beats deal is not about headphones or streaming music but rather is about video. He speculates that Cook wants Iovine to run Apple’s content business and help Apple launch the TV product that

Beats’ Dynamic DuoBoth Dr. Dre and Jimmy Iovine started their careers

behind the studio glass, then melded production and

entrepreneurship as they discovered and promoted some

of the world’s best-selling artists during the past couple of

decades. Here’s a time line of their achievements.

analysts have been gossiping about for years. The product has been held up because Apple can’t get all the content owners on board.

Maybe Iovine has the charisma and connec-tions to round up the networks the way he did the music labels in 2002, although “it’s a lot more complicated” this time around, says Isaacson. His track record of success in marrying content and tech gives that theory some weight.

Apple is undergoing a corporate blood transfusion, one that will radically change the nature of the company. Well before the Dre-Iovine deal surfaced, Cook was busy hiring a bunch of people with health industry back-grounds to work on the smartwatch. He also hired former Burberry CEO Angela Ahrendts, who knows how to sell fashion and luxury, to run Apple retail.

The Apple faithful may not like it, but they should remember that the Apple they know and love today is itself the product of an equally traumatic transfusion carried out in 1996. That was when Jobs returned to Apple, bringing along the team from NeXT, the computer company he had formed after Apple tossed him out in 1985. Jobs removed Apple’s board members and top executives and installed his lieutenants from NeXT. He killed off countless products, then started rebuilding from the ground up, using the oper-ating system from NeXT workstations as the foundation for Apple’s future products, from the Mac to the iPhone and the iPad.

Though Jobs died in 2011, in a sense he still has been running the company. Now, with this deal, Apple fans are facing up to the fact that Jobs is truly gone and that their beloved Apple is about to become a very different company.

Topline

Malik Bendjelloul created a new audience for the overlooked musician Rodriguez through his first and only theatrically released film, Searching for Sugar Man. Though underfunded during its creation, the film’s distributor, Sony Pictures Classics, sent Bendjelloul and Rodriguez around the world to support the remarkable story about an artist wholly unaware that his music had won an enthusi-astic following on the other side of the globe.

Bendjelloul, who committed suicide May 13 at the age of 36 in Stockholm, was not only sell-ing his fi lm to audiences, he was proselytizing

for Rodriguez as a contemporary artist as well. The producer saw Rodriguez as an oracle, a songwriter whose gentle touch as a lyricist and singer deserved considerable accolades — not to mention royalties from tens of thousands of unaccounted-for album sales.

But Sugar Man did far more than just revive one artist, or tell one tale. The fi lm’s success — it won an Oscar for best documentary and 31 other awards from festivals and fi lm societies around the world — helped encourage produc-ers and distributors to take more chances, move away from Behind the Music-like treatments of superstars and seek out compelling stories of the unheralded and forgotten. Within a year, numerous fi lms about the unheralded and for-gotten — the Detroit punk band Death, Muscle Shoals studio musicians and, of course, the background singers of 20 Feet from Stardom — were popping up in theaters beyond the festival circuit. Bendjelloul deserves much of the credit

M

A Suicide, And A Director’sMusical Legacy

B Y P H I L G A L L O

for that. “He was such a great human being and exceptionally talented, to say the least,” says Matt Sull ivan, founder/co-owner of Light in the Attic Records. “The world lost an incred-ible person.”

Sugar Man also had a profound impact on its star, who had been performing on a limited basis in small clubs since Light in the Attic Records rereleased his two Sussex Records albums, Cold Fact and Coming from Reality, in 2008 and 2009, respec-tively. He now is booked into major festivals and playing theaters.

Rodriguez performed a t D e t r o i t ’s M a s o n i c Temple Auditorium the day Bendjelloul’s body was found, never mentioning his death during the 80-minute concert. Afterward, he spoke briefl y to Billboard, calling the news “a shock. He was a very talented man and hardworking artist. He proved it by hitting an Academy Award his fi rst time out.”

Trained as a journalist, Bendjelloul was foremost a storyteller. He had worked in his native Sweden producing and directing TV shows on Bjork, among other musicians. He was traveling in search of his next story when he found one in South Africa that was as much about detective work and the anti-apartheid movement as it was the life of a musician from the late 1960s who had largely disap-peared from public view. “In six minutes,” Bendjelloul often said of his fi rst exposure to the Rodriguez story, “I heard the best story I had ever heard in my life. I don’t know if I will ever fi nd a story as good as that one.”

In the end, it will be the one story for which Bendjelloul will be remembered. Additional reporting by Gary Graff .

“ I heard the best story I’d ever heard in my life.”

Casey Kasem is no longer “missing.” But more nasty family drama looms By Timothy Appelo and Hal Espen

The long-running legal feud between Jean Kasem, the wife of ailing radio personality Casey Kasem, 82, and his three children from his first marriage has taken several dramatic new twists.

Following months of wrangling over visitation and Kasem’s medical care, the case flared again at a bizarre hearing in Los Angeles County Superior Court on May 12. Responding to allegations that Kasem, who

is suffering from dementia, had been abruptly removed from a Santa Monica, Calif., care facility and may have been spirited out of the United States, Jean Kasem’s lawyer Craig Marcus told the judge he had “no idea” where Casey Kasem was.

After ordering that Kasem be located, the judge named the former DJ’s daughter Kerri as his temporary health conservator. Kerri and her sister, Julie,

declared that their father had been “kidnapped,” launched a media blitz with appearances on Fox News and CNN, hired celebrity crisis communications expert Danny Deraney and filed a missing-persons report with the Santa Monica Police Department. Hundreds of news reports spread the word that Kasem was missing.

The Kasem children also revealed that they only recently learned that their father has

A brief history of Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction speeches

S H U T U P A N D P L AY

M atador is gearing up for the June 3 release of Glass Boys, the fourth full-length album from one of its

most promising bands. The Toronto-based rockers’ 2008 LP The Chemistry of Common Life won Canada’s prestigious Polaris Prize, and 2011’s David Comes to Life peaked at No. 83 on the Billboard 200. With Glass Boys, the group is poised for its best showing yet. Just one problem: Its name is considered indecent by the Federal Communication Commission. So how the f— do you market a band called F—ed Up?

The group’s uncompromising nomencla-ture and sound have generated enviable word-of-(foul)-mouth attention through the years. And Matador has faced this sort of challenge before. In the 1990s it released two albums by Bay Area rock band F—.

“[The name] was a big deal back then,” says Matador publicity director Nils Bernstein.

“But people are more inured to it now.” Still, the hurdles are obvious. “Other bands of their stature might be getting promotion or placement at Amazon and iTunes that they’re not,” says Bernstein. F—ed Up’s

music is available — with its name uncen-sored — from those outlets, as well as Spotify and other services, but is not promoted.

Matador has devised a number of work-arounds. The label creates clean and uncensored versions of virtually everything. For many outlets, “you can’t use the word and you can’t use asterisks either,” says Beggars Group retail/marketing director Blake Thomas.

“So we use their logo, which is recognized by fans. [On Spotify], we promote playlists but can’t use the band’s name, so we use the album name,” says Thomas. Radio is simpler; DJs simply say “Eff ed Up.” Print media gener-ally just uses dashes.

The New York Times restricts itself to phrases like a “punk band from Toronto with an unpublishable name.” That amuses the group. “Years ago, [guitarist Mike Haliechuk] would joke in interviews, ‘We’re going to take F—ed Up to a point where it’s a cultural debate,’ ” says lead singer Damian Abraham, 34. “The New York Times had to have meetings about how they would print our band’s name. It’s like we somehow accomplished our joke.”

How Do You Market This @#$%!? Band?

In an icy address, The Beach Boys’ Mike Love skewered

several fellow inductees who were MIA that night — including Diana

Ross and Paul McCartney. Julian Lennon fumbled for a cigarette

when Love remarked, “We did 180 shows last year. I’d like to see the

Mop Tops match that.”

Maybe the spirit moved him. Little Richard surprised the crowd by repeatedly shouting “Shut up!” while inducting the late Otis Redding — and broke into several Redding classics on the spot, unprovoked. “I feel good,” he shouted between tangents, adding he’d had “nothing but water!”

The Pearl Jam frontman spent 17 minutes introducing The Ramones in 2002, inspiring

some ribbing from Red Hot Chili Peppers’ Anthony Kiedis later

that night. “The Ramones’ songs may be two minutes long,” he

told Vedder from the stage, “but that speech was not.”

been diagnosed with Lewy body dementia, a condition closely associated with Parkinson’s disease.

Meanwhile, on May 13, Kitsap County sheriff’s deputies in Port Orchard, Wash., acting on a request from Adult Protective Services in Los Angeles, located Jean and Casey Kasem at a private home in the area, west of Seattle. Jean Kasem told officers they were “on vacation” and

showed them his medications. The cops concluded that Casey Kasem was not in danger.

The disputed case will return to court in Los Angeles at a hearing scheduled for June 20, when a source close to the Kasem children promises there will be “shocking” revelations about Jean Kasem’s treatment of their father.

When called for comment, Marcus hung up on a Billboard

reporter.

The strains of a bad breakup occasionally show up onstage. After thanking his mother, estranged Blondie bassist-guitarist Frank Infante asked frontwoman Deborah Harry if he could join her lineup for the night’s performance. “Can’t you see my band is up there?” she asked. Infante shot back,

“Your band? I thought Blondie was being inducted tonight. Sorry.”

The Rush guitarist gave one of the oddest addresses ever,

repeating one word — “blah” — for an impressive two minutes.

Former BBC executive Paul Campbell launched a new company in the United Kingdom in 2007, looking for ways to help musicians fi nd a wider audience for their work. He established a web-site allowing select unsigned acts to upload their music, sell it — and keep the proceeds. Two years later, Campbell founded a radio station using a playlist built exclusively from the off erings on his site. He further developed his audience by adding a few shows carefully curated by a mix of ex-BBC and up-and-com-ing DJs. The result: Amazing Media, a powerful promotional machine that has become one of the A&R community’s most crucial tools for develop-ing new talent and has helped propel the likes of Chvrches, Daughter and Alt-J to deals with major or independent labels.Now, fi ve years later, Campbell is launching in the United States. He has raised $9 million in funding with backing from investors including Sting, AOL founder Steve Case, producer Billy Mann, music lawyer John Frankenheimer and for-mer EMI CEO Elio Leoni-Sceti. They’re joining a board to be run by former Shazam chairman John Pearson.

As part of its launch stateside, Amazing Media has acquired Boston-based OurStage

.com for an undisclosed sum. OurStage gives fans the opportunity to vote for their favorite

unsigned performers on the site — and allows bands to compete for the chance to tour with more established acts.

Campbell’s company helps fi ll a void created during the last decade, when declining music sales forced many labels to cut back on their A&R investment. Amazing Media gives smaller A&R teams access to nearly as much music as they had in the heady days of bigger budgets.

“It’s a great tool to help artists be discovered and promoted throughout their development,” says Adam Herzog, vp A&R at Warner Bros.

Up-and-coming artists get the chance to earn some money from sales while gaining

exposure to industry deci-sion-makers. “We reach about half a million people every day around the world. But it’s the quality of the people that matters,” says Campbell.

“Band managers, A&R execs, bands themselves and music infl uencers are the most common listeners.”

Today, says Campbell, between 200 and 300 new tracks are uploaded daily, from artists all over the world. His DJs play nearly 50 of those a day.

In the United Kingdom, the majority of Amazing Media’s revenue is generated by licensing unsigned artists’ music to retailers’ in-store radio services. The company will explore similar opportunities in the United States.Amazing Media’s U.S. business will be run by former EMI Classics chief Eric Dingman with offi ces in Boston and New York.

N as, who turned hip-hop on its ear 20 years ago with his groundbreaking debut album Illmatic, is going indie. The venerated rapper, 40, is launching

Mass Appeal Records, an independent record label, which, in addition to shepherding a new generation of hip-hop hopefuls, also will provide an outlet for new Nas music when his contract with Def Jam expires later this year.

Mass Appeal Records, co-founded with Peter Bittenbender, 36, will succeed Decon Records, a boutique label-turned-creative studio started by Bittenbender and video director Jason Goldwatch in 2002. Last spring, Nas and Bittenbender raised $1.2 million to relaunch the street culture magazine Mass Appeal, which will serve as a sister company to Mass Appeal Records, in a relationship akin to that between Vice Records and Vice magazine. “I’m excited to be a part of creating and supporting future careers and legacy artists, promoting love and finding new genius to help the world,” said Nas in an email.

First among Mass Appeal Records’ releases, arriving late this summer, will be an annual compilation album featuring friends of the brand like Future, Pusha T, Mac Miller and Nas himself, performing a cover of the 1994 Gang Starr song that gave the company its name. Also on deck is Lost Tapes 2, a collection of unreleased Nas music, and a posthumous set from Pimp C that will pair the iconic UGK member with current hitmaking producers like Mike Will Made It and DJ Mustard.

Sony’s RED is Mass Appeal’s distributor, reuniting Nas with the parent company that released Illmatic. RED won the rights to the label in a bidding war with Caroline and the Alternative Distribution Alliance, putting up an advance in the low seven figures for a multiple-year agreement.

“We want to become the next XL,” says Bittenbender. “This is an opportunity to take everything we’ve learned and build a global label from the ground up.” —Reggie Ugwu

Usher’s “Good Kisser,” the fi rst single from his forthcoming eighth album, is returning him to familiar territory: the charts. The song debuts at No. 70 on the Billboard Hot 100 and at No. 18 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop charts dated May 24. The bow was fueled by 29,000 down-loads in the week ending May 11, according to Nielsen SoundScan, and 13 million impressions on radio, according to Nielsen BDS. The song “Good Kisser” launched with a music video on May 5, the same day it hit digital retailers. Usher, 35, gave the single another bump with his May 12 performance on The Voice.

The song and its accompanying video, featuring Usher dancing seductively and drumming shirtless, is also a return to the sex-symbol imagery and R&B sound that fi rst made him a star. “It bridges current urban

“Turn Down for What”DJ SNAKE & LIL JON

DJ SNAKE “I initially made the song with a Redman sample [2007’s ‘Da Countdown (Saga

create it]. The first person in mind? Lil Jon. He’s energetic — I knew he ’d be best for it.”

COLUMBIA RECORDS VP A&R IMR AN MA JID “I was watching a big Auburn-Georgia football game

in November. In the final seconds, the quarterback throws a Hail Mary touchdown, and the stadium plays ‘Turn

Down for What.’ That’s when I was like, ‘This is a moment.’ We did the [single] deal at the end of the year.”

LIL JON “ When I heard it, I was like, ‘This beat is crazy but the Redman sample just don’t fit .’ I go in the booth, and the first track I laid was crazy.

“But really I just want to connect to my fan base: the ladies,” he adds, loosely quoting Drake’s hook on Lil Wayne’s “Love Me” through laughter. “Drake said it best: ‘I could give a damn what them haters say long as my bitches love me.’ ”

Before “Good Kisser,” Usher had EDM to thank for his recent pop smashes: 2010’s Eurodance-inspired “OMG,” which hit No. 1 for four weeks on the Hot 100; 2012’s

“Climax” (No. 17), which features producer Diplo’s electro fl ourishes; and David Guetta’s “Without You” (No. 4) in 2011. But Usher’s follow-up to 2012 album Looking 4 Myself is “me coming back to where I started,” he says. “Artists are after real instrumentation as opposed to electronic, synthesized music. Real music is taking a stand.”

With the album (which boasts a Chris Brown duet and production from Pharrell Williams), Usher also will return to touring. The last time he was on the road was spring 2011, when his OMG world tour wrapped. “I decided to work on a fi lm here, a TV show here, raise kids there,” he explains of his absence from arena stages. “This next album and tour comes with everything I’ve learned in the process — in addition to me keeping it sexy for the ladies.”

Usher’s new single jumps to

No. 70 in its first week on the

Billboard Hot 100.

An Evening With WomenL O S A N G E L E S , M A Y 1 0

“And I said, ‘Hey, hey, hey, hey, what’s going on?’ ” yelled the crowd back to 4 Non Blondes, led by Linda Perry, who reunited for the first time in over two decades to perform their hit “What’s Up?” for a crowd of heavy-hitters at the raucous L.A. Gay & Lesbian Center’s 2014 “An Evening With Women” event at the Beverly Hilton. Guests dined on an all-vegan menu while enjoying a performance from comedian Margaret Cho, who had the audience roaring with laughter at her original song “Fat Pussy.” Actresses Evan Rachel Wood and Milla Jovovich wowed the crowd with their vocal ability during their three-song sets, where Wood belted out Garbage’s “Queer” and Radiohead’s “High and Dry” and Jovovich sang Patti Smith’s “Dancing Barefoot.” In a silent auction, Siawon a trip to Bora Bora for $14,500; Perry auctioned off her personal piano, signed by LGBT support-ers including Leonardo DiCaprio, Pink and Courtney Love, which sold for $15,000; and Rumer Willis sold a date with herself that went for $12,000, bringing the evening’s auction total to $600,000. —Nick Williams

Mysteryland USA To Be Staged At Woodstock Site The fantasy-like EDM fest arrives Memorial Day

ysteryland, the world’s longest-running EDM festival with

editions in The Netherlands and Chile, will hold its first edition in the United States during Memorial Day weekend at upstate New York’s Bethel Woods Center for the Arts, the site of the original Woodstock festival in 1969. “It was a dream we never thought would come true,” says Jeroen Jansen, creative director of ID&T, the Netherlands-based parent company that has operated Mysteryland for over 20 years. More than 200 world-renowned DJs and performers, including headliner Kaskade, Moby, Nicky Romero, Seth Troxler and Steve Aoki, will be present at the mini-fest, which runs May 23 to May 26. “I played the Mysteryland in Europe for quite some time,” says Aoki. “I remember playing in 2009, and then last year I headlined Mysteryland in Europe. It’s an incredible festival. So when they decided to bring it [to the United States], it was a no-brainer to join in the fun.” Past Mysteryland events in Europe and Chile have included fireworks, light

shows and smoke cannons on the state-of-the-art main stages, as well as roaming performance artists, mini villages and man-made micro forests. While many of the details of Mysteryland USA will be kept under wraps until the festival’s opening day, the event will feature a food fest hosted by Brooklyn’s Smorgasburg, yoga and meditation, live painting by New York street artists, theatrical performances and a wishing tree by artist Kate Raudenbush. Mysteryland USA will offer three stages of techno and house music. And for the first time, the festival brand will host on-site camping. The festival will sell only 20,000 tickets per day (ranging from single-day tickets to premiere B’n’B VIP tents for $109 to $1,999), which is minimal compared with the 400,000 festival-goers who attended the original Woodstock. Artists on the Mysteryland USA lineup grasp the gravitas of appearing at the legendary site: “The

history of Woodstock has revolutionized what festival culture is all about,” says Aoki. And for Moby, it’s a natural fit. “Woodstock 1969 and the current dance scene are similar in that they’re about people looking into communal alternatives to an antiquated status quo,” says the New York-based musician. “One of the best things about a dance event is that the focus is on the audience, not the performers.”

The $1,115 T-ShirtGivenchy debuts a tape-deck-print piece that pays

homage to music’s past — at today’s prices

by TASHA GREEN Photographed by HANNAH WHITAKER

Givenchy creative director Riccardo Tisci based his spring/summer menswear collection on the technology of sound — exploding images of boom boxes, tape decks, digital mixers and soundboards, then splicing them back together in symmetrical patterns. This 100 percent cotton printed shirt may have a hefty price tag, but with so many devoted followers — especially in hip-hop — it shouldn’t be a surprise to see guys willing to live large and dress loud.

The Lobster Roll War

There is an age-old war on the East End, but this one is being fought with forks and knives. Locals and tourists alike have been arguing for decades over who makes a better lobster roll: Clam Bar (2025 Montauk Highway) or The Lobster Roll (1980 Montauk Highway). The latter boasts a 50-year-old lobster salad recipe and past celeb customers includ-ing former president Richard Nixon and Mariah Carey. Meanwhile, the Clam Bar has been attracting loyalists with its big red sign since 1981. Designer and Montauk regular Cynthia Rowley says it gets her vote, “but I wish you didn’t have to sit on plastic chairs.”

FROM LOCAL CONCERTS AT GOSMAN’S DOCKto big-name headliners at the Surf Lodge, the scene in Montauk has made the formerly sleepy fi shing village practically synonymous with music. But that’s only one of the many factors that have been attracting hordes of visi-tors to the growing number of restaurants, bars and hotels in the farthest of the Hamptons. “At the end of Long Island with its romantic light-house, dramatic seaside bluff s and ramshackle surf shacks, Montauk, with its high-low cul-ture, has a unique ‘Wild, Wild East’ quality unlike anywhere else on the East Coast,” says hotelier S e a n M a c P h e r s o n, who owns Montauk’s Crow’s Nest Hotel and Restaurant.

Gurney’s Montauk Resort & Seawater Spa, 290 Old Montauk Highway There’s something for (nearly) every music lover at Gurney’s this summer. Under new leadership , the food and beverage program will be headed by Jennifer Oz Leroy, the granddaughter of fi lm producer-director Mervyn LeRoy. “We’re very welcoming,” says LeRoy. “Anyone can come.” The new lineup includes electronic violin-ist E L E W in residency each weekend and a Saturday afternoon concert and fashion show series for 500 people titled “Sound Waves at the Beach” beginning July 19. Every other Thursday, the Club Room will host Arlene’s World Famous Live Rock N Roll Karaoke Band(the offi cial 2013-14 Saturday Night Live after-show party band).

perform was incredible,” says Surf Lodge co-owner Jayma Cardosa. “I had been working on booking him for years, so when it fi nally happened it was a huge treat.” Cardosa’s other favorite Surf Lodge performers include Django Django, The Kills and Patti Smith. The venue will host acts like Sky Ferreira, Edward Sharpe and Gary Clark Jr. this summer.

But the waterside resort and restaurant — which this year gains a new chef in Ro b e r t Re e d— also off ers a mix of live music, DJs and an upscale dance area . Dan Bailey Tribe, Twistaand Joe Delia & The Thieves are all on this sea-son’s schedule. And if a Fourth of July parade with sparklers and face paint won’t cut it for you, the Montauk Yacht Club is also home to one of the area’s most well-known parties: Shark Attack Sounds, hosted by Naomi Watts’big bro photographer, Ben.

Montauk Green (“On the Green”) By Memorial Day weekend, Montauk’s fi fth annual music festival has come and gone (annually, the fest takes place in mid-May, with this year’s event having run from May 15 to 18), but that doesn’t mean there won’t be more On the Green music events. The Montauk Chamber

The Harbor Raw Bar & Lounge, 440 West Lake Drive In the space formerly known as the Cross-Eyed Clam, the Harbor Raw Bar & Lounge is expected to open any day now. The eatery plans to be more upscale than its predecessor, with seasonal small plates and craft cocktails. A patio and lounge will off er live music and evening dancing that is set to begin Memorial Day weekend.

The Crow’s Nest Hotel and Restaurant, 4 Old West Lake Drive The Crow’s Nest has been such a popular spot since it opened in 2010 that it expanded its original 14-room lodg-ing. Recently renovated, hotelier S e a n M a c P h e r s o n’s rustic property now offers an additional fi ve bungalows and one two- bedroom house, all called the David Pharaoh Cottages, to accommodate more guests who want to take full advantage of the fl uke and chicken kabobs in the restaurant, the view of Montauk Lake and the local celeb spotting in the evenings by the fi re pit. Sightings have included photographer Peter Beard and BLK DNM designer Johan Lindenberg, who says the establishment has a “great chic bohemian touch.” His recommendation? The kale salad.

Dive Bars To Die For

Liar’s Saloon, 401 W. Lake Drive This briny dive bar still off ers $1 draft Buds. A popular choice: mudslides.Montauket Hotel, 88 Firestone Road This 60-year-old watering hole has one of the best views in Montauk. Shagwong Restaurant, 774 Main St. Since 1927, the strong drinks at this dive have been attracting the likes of The Rolling Stones, John Lennon, Yoko Ono and Paul Simon. The Sloppy Tuna, 148 S. Emerson Ave. At this new- generation oceanfront dive, the drinks are pricier, the bathrooms cleaner and the bar name more sexually charged.

of Commerce presents a free concert series, at 6:30 p.m. every Monday, starting at the end of June (beach chairs and blankets not included). If you’re an early planner, mark your calendars for 2015’s Montauk music fest, which sup-ports the area’s local musicians and this year included more than 75 bands and singers, like Consuelo Vanderbilt, Butchers Blind and The Cranks.

The Memory Motel, 692 Montauk Highway You would think an establishment with a Rolling Stones song named after it could aff ord a few new TV sets in its rooms. But that’s the charm of the Memory Motel, the 13-room roadhouse

and dive bar located in the heart of Montauk Village. The Stones’ 1976 hit helped put the place on the map (reportedly, however, Mick Jagger only actually stepped onto the grounds of the Memory once), and the motel is now known to out-of-towners and locals alike for its jukebox and live music. Don’t expect to see Jagger on the lineup anytime soon (or Ke i t h R i c h a rd s or H a r vey M a n d e l), but Less T h a n Ze ro , 3 a m, DJ D o d g e , Ka s h m e re and Goldilocks are all expected this summer.

Gosman’s Dock, 500 West Lake Drive Both locals and tourists come for the view at

Gosman’s Dock but stay for the music. During July and August, the seafood restaurant is known for its Sunday evening concerts, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. “We have some of the better local acts out here,” boasts Chris Gosman, one of the co-owners of the clam bar and fi sh mar-ket, who names The Nancy Atlas Project and T h e Lo n e S h a r ks as examples. “But the real treat is the venue. It’s outdoors with a fabu-lous stage, wide open green, free concerts,” he says. “[It’s a] really nice event.”

H I P ST E R H OT S P OT S

Sole East Resort, 90 Second House Road If you like your hotel with a side of music, Sole East may be the place for you. The boutique hotel has 60 rooms, seven renovated bungalow suites and a constantly spinning poolside DJ. Its summer concert series has attracted Citizen Cope and Holy Ghost in past seasons. Guests get to watch acts, which have included Maxi Priest, Pete Yorn and Rufus Wainwright, in the hotel’s Backyard Restaurant.

Ruschmeyer’s, 161 Second House Road This 19-room hotel may seem like a no-frills sleep-away camp for adults by day, but at night Ruschmeyer’s turns into a thumping dance party and bar that attracts guests ripped straight out of an Opening Ceremony ad. Phantogram, Charlie Klarsfeld from the band The Americans, DJ Jonny Famous and DJ Chelsea Leylandall performed at the quaint and somewhat kitschy locale in summer 2013.


The Surf Lodge has hosted such acts as Courtney Love (right). Below: Dinnertime at The Crow’s Nest Restaurant.

Comedy Special

The unlikely partnership between comedian Chelsea Handler and legendary music manager Irving Azoff shows how the business

of comedy has grown beyond rock’n’roll levels. It ’s not just arenas, it ’s all media — from books and TV, to the Internet and beyond

Photographed By Jeff MintonBy Ray Waddell


WorldMags.net




“I say things to people’s faces that people can’t believe,” says

Handler. “It just comes barreling out of my mouth.” Azoff and

Handler photographed April 8 in Los Angeles. For a behind-the-

scenes video, go to Billboard.com or Billboard.com/ipad.


WorldMags.net



On Oct. 8 of last year, Irving Azoff got a call from Kevin Huvane, managing partner at Creative Artists Agency (CAA), congratulating the megamanager on the latest addition to his client list. There was just one problem: Azoff didn’t know about it.

“Chelsea Handler one day decided I was her manager, and I was only too thrilled to accept the assignment,” says the chairman/CEO of Azoff MSG Entertainment, 66. “She sent an email to her business manager, lawyer and agents saying, ‘Please deal with Irving from now on.’ Shortly thereafter a press release showed up where she’d written my quotes.”

Handler, who was without a manager at the time, says Azoff already had been “acting as a manager by proxy” — “he had some good, saga-cious advice for me time and time again” — so it was simply a matter of making it official. “We bonded and joined forces and now we’re the dynamic duo.”

The initial fruit of the partnership came in January, when Handler, 39, announced her first tour in four years —more than 30 dates in theaters and arenas to coincide with her fourth book (and fourth New York Times No. 1 best seller), Uganda Be Kidding Me. Two months later came a potentially even bigger development: After seven years of Chelsea Lately, Handler will be leaving the E! Network when her contract expires at the end of the year. “We have at least seven suitors and many ideas,” Azoff told The Hollywood Reporter at the time.

The Azoff/Handler partnership has landed rather loudly. “Yeah, well, we have a loud foot-step,” says Handler. “At least I do. Irving’s is a little bit lighter, because he’s so little.” (Azoff — who stands 5 foot 3 inches to Handler’s 5 foot 6 — can give as good as he gets. Asked if he’d ever considered trying his hand at stand-up, he quips, “People always tell me to stand up, and I’m already standing up.” Ba-da-boom.)

Azoff, of course, has remade the music busi-ness more than once, first as a manager in the 1970s, then again more than three decades later as chairman of Live Nation from 2011 to 2012. Since the announcement of his joint venture

with Madison Square Garden in September 2013 — Azoff MSG Entertainment, which includes management, branding, music pub-lishing and digital media — many have waited to see how his next chapter will unfold, and taking on Handler as a client showed it would include more than music.

Azoff’s entry into the world of comedy is “abso-lutely good for the business,” says veteran comedy manager and partner at Levity Entertainment Group Judi Brown-Marmel. “Anytime somebody as reputable as he is, with the history of success he has, steps into the comedy game, it signals that this is a serious business.”

Azoff, whose role is to help direct the next stage of Handler’s career, says she will “defi-nitely” continue in TV, though they are exploring other avenues as well. “We’re kicking the tires hard on radio,” he says. “And I really like, and will advise her on, a lot of the things going on in the digital world.” He mentions by example Glenn Beck’s The Blaze, which offers program-ming through Internet subscription and the Dish Network. “She’s an absolute natural for that,” he says. “We’re going to figure out what’s going on in her life digitally.”

Handler is indeed accomplished in the social media world, with 2.4 million Facebook fans and more than 5.5 million followers on Twitter, where she’s the most-followed female comedy

personality, and ranks as the fifth-most-followed comedian overall. She’s a frequent poster, and she’s really doing the posting. “I enjoy social media,” she says, admitting that, initially, assis-tants did the posting for her. “I thought, ‘What am I doing? Let me do this.’ And about a year into it I said, ‘Let me do my own Twitter.’ ”

Doing it herself is a Handler trait. She started doing stand-up at 21, and launched Chelsea Lately in 2007 at the age of 31, which gave her 10 years to hone her chops to late-night levels. (Her first effort at E! was The Chelsea Handler Show, a sketch-comedy vehicle that premiered in 2006 and morphed into the talk show.) But early in her stand-up career, “I had nights where I wasn’t that funny, and I don’t think people should have paid to see me perform,” she admits.

Her work ethic played a significant role, but so did Handler’s good looks. “I was a girl, and at the

time there were definitely girls, but not as many as there are now, so that set me apart,” she says. “I tried to use that as an advantage rather than a disadvantage, and I think it was an advantage to be a pretty girl doing stand-up. There weren’t tons of them, so it was easy to stand out.”

Rather than her looks, however, it was the way she used her own discomfort that bailed her out many times. “I always start with myself. It’s very self-deprecating, self-referential. I start with what I find embarrassing, and I go on about what other people do that is embarrassing or annoying, or that I find irritating. But I always come back to myself: I start with myself and I end with myself.”

That style also drives Handler’s books, which boosted her profile significantly, starting with My Horizontal Life: A Collection of One-Night Stands in 2005, which has sold 944,000 cop-ies, according to Nielsen BookScan. In 2007 she launched Chelsea Lately on E!, and followed it with Are You There, Vodka? It’s Me, Chelsea in 2008. It is her best-selling book, having sold more than 1.4 million copies.

Handler is “a fantastic example of a multi-hyphenate at work,” says Nick Nucifero, her personal appearance agent at CAA. “The atten-tion from TV fuels her tour, her tour fuels TV, the book fuels both, they fuel the book. Her social media is through the roof, and it’s all

ping-ponging back and forth between these different mediums.”

“She plays to win,” says Azoff. “She’s got a work ethic unlike anything I’ve ever seen. This woman is doing her shows during the week, going on the road over the weekend, doing char-ity work, doing press, all kinds of stuff. I don’t think I know anyone in the music business that works as hard as her.”

With Azoff now helping guide her career, Handler is looking forward to working smart. “I’m listening to a bunch of different offers right now and trying to figure out which direction I want to go in,” says Handler. “I want to do some-thing where I’m exercising my brain a little bit more, something that’s a little more challenging and exciting.”

“What she has in mind to do next does not fit on E!” says Azoff. “She’s loved her time there,

“ I don’t want to go and fill someone else’s shoes in a job. I want to create my own job, for me ... and I don’t want any-one telling me exactly what I can and can’t do.” —Handler

and just the way David Letterman is doing his victory lap, she’s going to do hers. You’ll see incredible guests and great shows to the end.”

Handler makes about $9 million a year at E!, and her tour has moved 125,000 tick-ets and grossed $7.5 million in ticket sales to date, according to Live Nation comedy president Geof Wills. Azoff declined to get into specifics, but says the paycheck is not Handler’s primary motivation at this point. “Does Chelsea make a lot of money? Yeah, she’s very highly compensated. Very few — if anybody — do more concert business than her, and, yeah, she gets paid,” he says. “But this woman never makes a decision just based on money. She never does anything that doesn’t feel right for her creatively.”

Azoff says he has gotten a “good education” in the comedy business from Live Nation’s Wills. “It’s not unlike the music business,” says Azoff . “A lot of what we’ve done for Chelsea, with her touring and her book promotion, were just tricks we learned in the rock’n’roll tour-ing business. We did platinum seating on her tour, an AmEx presale. On the book we did an exclusive version for Target, and they took a nice hefty order.”

The prevailing theme in Azoff ’s management philosophy is that artists must get out there in front of people, and Handler is no exception. “The parallel with the music business is you have to build a live base,” he says. “Once you do, it’s loyal, and gives you a [platform] to do tons of other stuff you want to do.”

Handler — who had taken time off from the road after being exhausted by back-to-back tour and book cycles on top of show tapings — “was kind of opposed” to touring again. But she says Azoff convinced her, and “before I knew it, I had two weeks left before I had to go on the road.”

She worked out the kinks through 16 hours at Southern California comedy clubs. “I was really

Potential audience 124 million Bo Burnham was an ordinary 16-year-old kid in suburban Massachusetts when he started posting videos of his songs, which he called

“pubescent musical comedy.” As of January, more people have watched his videos than watched the last episode of M*A*S*H (106 million).

Potential audience 5.6 million Hannibal Buress hosts a stand-up show every Sunday at The Knitting Factory in Brooklyn. Assuming the theater sells out (a best-case scenario), he performs every week to about 300 people. Compare that to his Feb. 25 appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon . He would have to perform at The Knitting Factory every Sunday for the next 36 years, to match the 5.5 million viewers he reached that night.

Potential audience 1.6 millionA show on Comedy Central is no guarantee of ratings but it’s a place where new faces can find loyal followings. When Inside Amy Schumer debuted last year to 1.6 million, according to Nielsen, it seemed inconceivable for a comedian whose biggest exposure to that point was coming in fourth on Last Comic Standing.

Potential audience 1.2 millionCarrot Top isn’t the most respected comic in the world, but he might very well have the best gig in comedy. Since 2004, he has played to sold-out crowds six nights a week at the Luxor’s 380-seat showroom in Las Vegas. If you want consistent crowds, Vegas is the place to do it.

Potential audience Anywhere from 960 (at New York’s Great Hall) to 1 millionOpen-mic night crowds can be small and inattentive. But the Moth StorySLAMs, held at least once a month in 15 cities, are a hot ticket, and if your story gets picked up by the Moth podcast, you could be among its 1 million monthly downloads. —Eric Spitznagel

nervous leading up to [the tour] because I really hadn’t prepared,” she says. “I called my agent and said, ‘Please book me, I’ve got to get ready.’ And he said, ‘Oh, good, I’m glad you’re asking. We didn’t know what your plan was.’ Any time put in is better than no time, and I do pick things up quickly, and I can edit quickly. And I have a good memory, whether I’ve been drinking or not, so that helps.”

She says the Uganda Be Kidding Me Live dates have “turned out to be my favorite tour ever” — perhaps tempered by the certainty that there’s a break coming. In June, she’ll tape her fi rst major stand-up special in Chicago, to air on a cable network in October. “Then after my last show at E!, I’m going to probably disappear for a few months,” she says. Whatever comes next, the agreement will include six months off so she has time to “go and be a real person.”

Handler says she’s looking for something “a little more mindful, and not as stupid” as what she’s doing at E! “I created my own show ... and I did something that hadn’t necessarily been done in that format or medium the exact same way. And because I did that, I have the leisure of being able to walk away from it and do it again.

“I don’t want to go and fill someone else’s shoes in a job,” she says. “I want to create my own job, for me, and I want to write my own books, and I don’t want anyone telling me exactly what I can and can’t do.”

As for Azoff, he says Azoffmusic and its parent Azoff Madison Square Garden Entertainment are “looking at other invest-ments in the [comedy] space.” But rather than focusing on comedy as a genre, Azoff ’s inter-est is more on star power and the potential to grow it. Comedy’s top stars, he says, “aren’t just comedians. All these great entertainers are tele-vision stars, live stars, authors — pretty much all of them. I’m not really interested in ‘comedy’ per se, this is just their base.” CL

By virtually every metric — ticket sales, the number of stars moving up to the theater and arena level, the volume of acts doing good business — touring comedy is in the midst of a golden age.

“The comedy business has never been stron-ger,” says Nick Nuciforo, who heads up the comedy department at Creative Artists Agency (CAA). “There are more headliners now than ever, and a really fertile next generation.”

Profit margins are high, demand is growing, and ticket prices remain attractive in compari-son to music and sports (often in the $25 to $80 range for theater shows). For the right headliner, fees at the club level can reach six figures, the-ater dates $250,000 and arena shows between $500,000 and $1 million. Billboard estimates the live comedy business — including the growing festival space — generates revenue of approximately $300 million a year.

“Did you ever even think you’d see comics play-ing arenas?” asks Judi Brown-Marmel, partner at Levity Entertainment Group, whose clients

It used to be just a handful of stand-ups who made major money. Now, live comedy is global and exploding into every big arena

Kevin Hart, who grossed over $15 million for

his 2011 tour, can fill 10,000-seaters overseas.

include Jeff Dunham, Jenny McCarthy and Mary Lynn Rajskub. “That sounds like something that only happened for rock’n’roll bands, but now it’s happening for comedians.” At least a dozen acts have demand enough to play arenas, with many

— including Aziz Ansari, Louis CK, Lewis Black and Brian Regan — mixing arenas and theaters to maximize their markets.

“When Louis CK goes on a show, he just walks onstage in a black shirt and jeans and a microphone and he’s rocking a 5,000-cap house the same way an eight-piece band with video screens and pyrotechnics would,” says Mike Berkowitz — who oversees comedy at the Agency for the Performing Arts (APA) and repre-sents CK, Ansari, Kevin Hart and Mike Birbiglia, among others. “It’s punk rock, that’s what it is. It’s just, ‘Me, my brain and this microphone, and I’m going to murder you tonight, and you’ll stand up and applaud at the end.’ ”

Driving it all is an explosion in platforms. Twenty years ago, as the ’80s boom turned into a ’90s bust, emerging comedians were limited

to late-night TV to reach the masses. Today, a generation has grown up with sketch shows, stand-up specials and talk shows on Comedy Central, Adult Swim, IFC and TruTV. Netflix, HBO and Comedy Central’s tablet apps mean the window for exposure never closes.

YouTube reports that comedy uploads get 7 billion views a month, which works out to 380 million hours. And Twitter was a game-changer even before Conan O’Brien sold out 42 dates of his 2010 Legally Prohibited from Being Funny on Television Tour with a single tweet. (“I remember saying something stupid like, ‘It’s a new paradigm,’ ” says Live Nation comedy presi-dent Geof Wills, who promoted many dates on the O’Brien tour. “But it really was.”)

“Acts that have a big online following can drive that audience into a coffeehouse, and all of a sudden that coffeehouse becomes the comedy club,” says Brown-Marmel, who began her career 27 years ago as a door girl at the Comedy Corner, the Colorado Springs, Colo., comedy club that spawned Roseanne Barr. “The way the medium has changed with film, television and the Internet, you can scale comedy from the cof-feehouse to the arena now.”

Perhaps the best indicator of how well comedy is faring on the road is the number of comics touring at the 1,000- to 5,000-seat theater level, once reserved for those at the top of the food chain. Nuciforo says that 15 years ago there were

“maybe a half dozen at most in the whole indus-try that could play theaters.” Today, CAA reps more than 30 headliners who can play theaters and larger venues. And that’s just a piece of the overall picture. “At this point, I would say there are probably at least 75 comedians that could sell out a theater,” says Berkowitz.

And while music festivals are flirting with a saturation point, the comedy festival scene is growing. There are established comedy fests in

New York; Miami; Montreal; Toronto; Chicago; San Francisco; Austin, Texas; Portland, Ore.; and elsewhere, and new events coming on line all the time — the biggest addition is Vince Vaughn’s Wild West Comedy Festival in Nashville May 15 to May 18. Last year, Live Nation fielded the Oddball Comedy & Curiosity Festival in part-nership with Funny or Die, featuring Flight of the Conchords and Dave Chappelle. The tour played 15 dates at Live Nation sheds, with nearly 200,000 tickets sold and $7.3 million net. Live Nation’s Wills says the tour “was one of our fin-est hours as the comedy department.”

Unlike most musicians, who tour around album release cycles, “comedians tour year-round, and a lot of comedians tour in between projects,” says Wills, citing Black and Regan as two of the hardest-touring comics. Live Nation has 73 shows booked on Regan’s current tour, for example. Wills touts rock star numbers for his comedy tours, like 30,000 tickets sold for five sellouts at Radio City Music Hall in New York for Chappelle in June.

“I just got done taking Dave Chappelle over-seas,” adds Wills. The Internet has created global demand. “In Australia he sold every stinking ticket in record time. His show was never on network [TV] over there at all — that’s just peo-ple looking at it online. Bill

Burr sold out in London, Iceland, Sweden and Holland. Kevin Hart sold out the O2 in London

— 16,000 tickets.”“If you look at the box-office scores,” says

Nuciforo, “the comedians are hanging with the big boys.” And though higher ticket prices for music mean bigger grosses, the gap between gross and net is much more narrow in comedy.

“Pound for pound, a professional working come-dian is making way more dough,” says Wills.

“There isn’t a ton of production to it. In comedy, you need a really good sound system. Typically if the venue is bigger than 3,000 seats or more, the acts are going to go for some kind of video pack-age so people can see them. Catering is $250 to $500, maybe a grand at the most. I know a major touring comedian whose catering bill is typically less than $50. The right [comic] can make a great living — millions of dollars a year.”

These 8 may have started out on the club circuit, but now they have Hollywood hot for them — and a slew of NSFW war stories

Who are your comic idols? Chris D’Elia Jim Carrey and Eddie Murphy. The way they inhabited characters astonished me.Tig Notaro Growing up, I had all of Chris D’Elia, Nikki Glaser and Rory Scovel’s albums.Nikki Glaser Amy Schumer, Dave Attell, Jim Gaffigan, Gary Gulman and Henry Phillips.Rory Scovel Steve Martin, Bill Hicks, Richard

Pryor, Maria Bamford.

Favorite bit by another comic?D’Elia The one where Eddie Murphy talks about his aunt falling down the stairs. She

doesn’t just fall down, it’s like this epic, ridiculous free fall down Mount Kilimanjaro. And she’s screaming “Oh, Lord Jesus, help me!” The longer it takes, the fun-nier it gets.Notaro These days, I’m pretty into Mike Birbiglia’s “My Girlfriend’s Boyfriend” and am inspired by basically any word or noise that falls out of Maria Bamford’s mouth.Glaser Henry Phillips has the best joke I’ve ever heard: “If you asked me my two favorite things, I’d say cooking and masturbating. And I’m not sure what the second thing would be.”

Worst heckling you’ve received?Glaser Not too long ago, a very pretty, very drunk girl who reminded me of every popular girl from my high school was talking dur-ing my set. When I confronted her, she said something like, “Well, maybe if you were funny I wouldn’t need to talk.” I went off, calling her a c—, among other things. I had an out-of-body experience. It was the best and worst I’ve ever felt onstage.

Most memorable groupie experience?D’Elia I was taking pictures after a show in Chicago, and this girl walks up. She’s like,

“You’re my favorite comedian.” Then another guy comes over and says, “Hey, I’m this lady’s driver. I just want you to know that her husband” — he points to a guy standing a few yards away — “said she’s totally allowed to sleep with you.” I came up with this lame excuse, like, “I’ve got to take all these pic-tures.” It was too weird for me.

Describe your comedy in a single sentence or less. Michael Che My comedy is a bunch of jokes in a row.Nick Kroll It’s a catch-as-catch-can of stories, character moments and observations.

Your favorite bit by another comic?Che Ever? Maybe when Eddie Murphy is talking about his dad in Raw.Kroll One of my favorites is a bit John Mulaney does about his father taking his family to a McDonald’s drive-through, and all he does is order black coffee. It just makes me laugh.

The most embarrassing thing that has happened to you onstage?Kroll On one of those nights when there were three people in the audience, I asked Bill Murray to watch me do stand-up. I was performing at a place called B3 in New York, and a waitress told me Murray was in the restaurant part of the club. I totally interrupted

him having a drink, and asked if he’d watch me perform. I’d only been doing stand-up for like six months at this point, so there was no reason he should’ve said yes. But as I was onstage, I watched him walk in and sit down. And I just froze — totally bombed. After my set, I thanked him for coming, and he nodded his head politely, didn’t even make eye contact, and went on with his evening.

The worst heckling you’ve received and how you dealt with it.Che I had a show on the night of New York SantaCon, and a guy in a giant penis costume and a Santa coat and hat sat upfront. He got as drunk as you can be without passing out, and heckled every comic on the bill. Usually when somebody’s heckling, you can just power through it. But when a guy is in a penis costume, there’s no way to ignore him. He has everybody’s attention. It was the first and only time I had someone removed from the audience. —As told to Eric Spitznagel

These ever popular podcast stars bring comedy home

A comedian craving intimacy might want to consider becoming a podcaster. “[The audience knows] you a lot better,” says Marc Maron, 50, who has helmed the twice-weekly WTF since September 2009 and announced in December it had topped 100 million downloads. Each show averages about 80 minutes in length and has an average audience of 230,000, and the series will soon log its 500th edition. By listening intently to such free-form conversation, “they know

What Success Sounds Like

What Success Sounds Like

everything about you and I know they have a real relationship with me.”

It’s a stark contrast to the world of stand-up, where, despite the close quarters of such clubs as The Improv and The Comedy Store, the stage serves as a virtual moat — rarely crossed save for the occasional heckler. “As far back as 2005, I’d go to a comedy club and have to convince that night’s audience that, regardless of my credits, I’m funny now,” says 47-year-old Jimmy Pardo, a podcasting pioneer who started his Never Not Funny show in 2006 and has logged 26 years of stand-up experience. “The podcasts grew the audiences coming to see me, and I think every podcaster can say it has changed their live shows.” For comedians today, he says, podcasts are “what Johnny Carson was in the 1970s and ’80s.”

A share of advertising revenue and, in the case of Pardo’s Pardcast, a premium option (lis-teners buy a $50 season pass for full access to Never Not Funny) means not just bonus income for the hosts, but a living wage. As the L.A.-based Pardo boasts, he and co-host/producer Matt Belknap drew enough revenue from pod-cast sales to each buy houses.

Austin Hargrave on May 8 in West Hollywood.

Actress-comedian and The Talk gabber Aisha Tyler, 43, whose weekly Girl on Guy focuses on relationships, concurs, adding that the benefit of podcast fans is that “they become evange-lists for you.” Indeed, podcasts have grown so popular — such hosts as Adam Carolla, Joe Rogan, Doug Benson and Chris Hardwick have become household names while eccentrics like Penn Jillette and Greg Proops found new life off the small screen — that many of the genre’s stars are starting to complain of a glut.

The key, says Maron, is maintaining a regular presence and consistent tone. “The thing about audio is that the relationship you build, like radio with Howard Stern and Rush [Limbaugh], is con-sistency,” says Maron, who parlayed podcasting into his own IFC show, Maron, which started its second season on May 8.

But even with the gigantic audience that pod-casts command — Apple reported in August that podcasts it carries have more than 1 billion sub-scribers — Maron adds that “it’s still the Wild West out there and most people don’t listen. To them it’s a weird technological innovation.” —Phil Gallo and Shirley Halperin

Why This Man Can Headline Madison Square GardenAziz Ansari’s comedy career is growing faster than the sinkhole that swallowed him in This Is the End, thanks to a biting and brainy comedy style that is breaking box-office records. Now, with plans to headline New York’s biggest arena, and a $3.5 million deal to write a book on modern romance with an NYU sociology professor, the Parks and Recreation star grouses about his generation: the “rudest,” “flakiest,” “worst” one ever

B Y G E O R G E G U R L E YP H O T O G R A P H E D B Y W E S L E Y M A N N


On the evening of May 5, Aziz Ansari sits in a tiny dressing room backstage at Boston’s Wilbur Theatre, about to perform his new stand-up show, Modern Romance, before a sold-out house of 1,200. “This is the 10th show here at the same venue, and it’s cool but it gets a little repeti-tive,” says the 31-year-old Ansari, who’s wearing a burgundy velvet jacket and black everything else. “It’s kind of nice to travel and do different venues. Each theater has a different vibe, like you wouldn’t think, ‘Oh, Springfield, Mass.!’ But it was a beautiful, really nice 3,000-seat theater. I like new crowds so this has been a little bit weird, because it’s the same thing so many times.”

Ansari doesn’t mention that by selling out 10 consecutive shows he has broken a record at the 100-year-old Wilbur. His demeanor is so calm it’s disconcerting. Zero trace of the intense, hyper-active, fast-talking character he will become in a half hour. “Yeah, well, that’s the thing: Any high-energy comedian like [Dave] Chappelle or Chris Rock, they’re generally, like, pretty low-key dudes,” he says. “Like, that’s the stage, that’s how you’re performing. But if I was like that in my regular conversation, it would be very annoying.”

This string of packed houses is the latest vali-dation of Ansari’s meteoric rise to the top of the comedy world. He is an exemplar of the explosion in the business of live comedy, where a growing number of performers — like Ansari, Louis CK and Chelsea Handler — mix theater and arena dates. Sources estimate a comedian of his stat-ure could make $10 million or more a year from live dates. He has done it with biting and brainy analytical humor that comes from serious study of the wired, ADD-plagued world around him. In addition to all his accomplishments — a star-ring role alongside Amy Poehler on Parks and Recreation, which just has been renewed for its seventh season on NBC; four comedy specials; and countless tours — he also is writing a book for Penguin Press, due in 2015, on modern love, with Eric Klinenberg, a sociology professor at New York University (NYU) and author of Going Solo: The Extraordinary Rise and Surprising Appeal of Living Alone. His reported advance: $3.5 million.

The crowning achievement, though, may be a

an essential part of the trade. “There’s a really fulfilling feeling of writing a new hour of mate-rial, touring it and having people leave the show at the end and think, ‘Shit, that was even better than last time,’ ” he says. “There are bits that I do in the show that have taken me a long time to really tinker with to get to a certain point where they have a certain finish at the end.”

As soon as Ansari walks onstage at the Wilbur, the response is ferocious, almost terrifying. Early on, there is one instance of inappropriate yelling. Ansari tells the girl to clam up and casts a spell for the next hour-plus as he diagnoses modern love and various ills in the modern world: how addicted we are to our gadgets; how, rather than help us communicate better, they often assist us in deceiving others and hurting relationships.

Even his own nine-month relationship is fodder and, he says, shaped the show’s content. “I met her years ago when she was seeing someone,” he says of his girlfriend, whom he declines to name. “I thought she was really cool. Then I ran into her randomly and she was single.” Since that fateful encounter, he says, “I’ve kind of settled down. I was the guy eating Skittles and having lots of fun, and then I was like, ‘I need a nice nutritious salad’ — she’s the salad.” It’s an apt description. Ansari is a famous foodie and a source says his girlfriend works in the food industry.

His show at the Wilbur is a perfect marriage of hilarity and wisdom. The eruptions are con-stant, but periodically everyone simmers down and listens, respectfully. If there’s a larger pur-pose to Modern Romance, it’s to cast light on the sometimes absurd way that social norms have evolved. Onstage, Ansari refers to his genera-tion as the “rudest, flakiest” and “worst” one ever, and doesn’t let himself off the hook. He’s confessing, making personal experiences funny, even mundane matters like buying a toothbrush:

“Before leaving my house without even think-ing about it, I Google ‘best toothbrush.’ Forget the mediocre toothbrushes of the past ... I’m reading article after article about, like, the pros and cons of bristle strength.” Finally, he buys a toothbrush. “And you know what? It’s a pretty good toothbrush,” he says. “You know what’s a good toothbrush, though? Every toothbrush!” explodes Ansari, provoking gales of laughter. “No toothbrush is bad!”

For an encore Ansari tries out some new bits, takes requests (there are cries for old favorites like “Grapefruit!”), and then makes his exit..

Backstage, he talks about why he likes putting thought-provoking ideas out there. “When you do these talk shows or when you’re performing here for thousands of people — like, people will listen,” he says. “You can kind of talk about any-thing if you just make it funny.”

“ I think the problem now is our tolerance with boredom is getting ridiculously low. Like, you’re having a conversation at dinner and your instinct is to pick up your phone. We’re just more likely to do that because we’re used to the stimulus.”

solo date at New York’s Madison Square Garden that’s being hammered out for the near future. It marks a level of popularity that few comedians have ever attained. Even Ansari, who prefers the intimacy of smaller venues, expresses amaze-ment at the possibility. “There is something very insane and amazing about starting stand-up in New York City at the lowest rung — open-mic spots — and then many years later going to the other utmost, utmost extreme of playing Madison Square Garden,” he says. “I felt a sense of that when I did Carnegie Hall, but Madison Square Garden is another level.”

Before leaving Bennettsville, S.C., to attend NYU in 2001, Ansari thought about double majoring in biology and business. He decided on marketing instead but during his freshman year, he did an open mic at the Comedy Cellar in Greenwich Village, and he had found his calling.

“It has been pretty fast for me, in a sense, because I did one tour where I did, like, 300 rock clubs, then I put out a special, and after that I started doing theaters,” he says. “Now it’s just like bigger theaters and more nights in the the-aters. It was a pretty swift change.”

The day after Billboard meets Ansari, he and Klinenberg fly to Paris to talk to French people for their book. “I love talking to people,” he says.

“Aziz is a real interviewer, by which I mean he listens to people and takes them seriously,” Klinenberg says of his co-author. “He’s probably a better sociologist than I am a comedian.”

Ansari realizes the inherent challenges that come with trying to sell a book today. “I think the problem now is our tolerance for boredom is getting ridiculously low,” he says. “Like, you’re having a conversation at dinner and your instinct is to pick up your phone. We’re just more likely to do that because we’re used to the stimulus. You know Spotify? Something like 48 percent switch to the next song after five seconds. You don’t have five seconds to give this f—ing song a chance? You’re not going to listen to ‘Bohemian

Rhapsody’ [for] five seconds?”

The research trip to Paris will take a week, and when he returns, Ansari has nine shows scheduled in the Midwest, then a couple in Montreal. The schedule sounds grueling, but he’s not complaining. “As a comedian you don’t have to do a lot,” he says. “You kind of get to hang out most of the day until the show, so I usually explore the town a little bit.”

Like many comedi-ans, Ansari considers live performance to be

Ansari at the Wilbur Theatre.

Ansari says his girlfriend of nine

months is “a nutritious salad”

compared with his Skittles-eating

single days.

WW hen I first started touring as a comic, it was exciting. It was like, “This is going to be great!” But the older you get, the less fun it seems.

Here’s what being a road comic breaks down to: a lot of bad travel and bad food. When you’re onstage, it’s amazing. But your life is about getting to the next gig.

I’ll tell you everything I know about going on tour as a stand-up in two sentences. No. 1, don’t overpack. You need one bag. I have a bag ready to go at all times, I just throw in new underwear. I wear the same outfit for every gig. And I might bring a second outfit if I have to do morning radio. Throw in a toothbrush, and you’re done.

Second, don’t fly unless you have to. I hate air travel. It was bad even before 9/11. Now, everyone thinks I’m a terrorist. I’d rather take a car. I can leave whenever I want.

A car is also a nice thing to have when they put you at a hotel near the airport and there’s noth-ing to do. Or there’s some kind of weird convention at the hotel. I’ve ended up in a hotel twice when there was a polka convention. That is in no way a joke. There’s something about accordion music — there’s never really a good time for it. They’d be playing in the elevator, in the lobby, in the bathrooms. People were just walking around playing accordions. It was a horrible nightmare.

The worst is when you can’t get food. I did a gig in a farm town once, somewhere in the middle of nowhere. Around 9 p.m. I was hungry but every restaurant was closed. Which was weird, because this was one of those towns were everyone was either obese or morbidly obese. I was like, “There are too many fat people for there not to be food.” It seemed insane that I would be the only one who wanted a meal after 9 p.m.

The one thing I wish the people who rep comics understood is that doing a stand-up tour really is a f—ing grind. Sometimes my manager will meet me, and he’ll say, “I get it now. I had a rough flight, and I just want to go to bed.” And I’m like, “You haven’t seen the half of it. You didn’t do five hours of bad radio this morning. And you didn’t have to have a really awkward lunch with the club owner’s friend.” I wish it was just long flights and shitty hotels.

It doesn’t take much anymore to make me happy. I used to want a hotel near the center of the action. Now I’m just excited when they have a washer and dryer in the hotel. I don’t care about gyms or pools — whatever. If they have a laundry room, I will lose my f—ing mind. I’ll go down and do my lonely person’s load of laundry, with my sad single-serving detergent. It’s a f—ing party.

If the hotel’s near a mall, that’s even better. All the gigs I thought were corny when I was young — like, “Oh, crap. I got booked in a club in a strip mall” — those are the ones that I look forward to

now. I love eating at the mall food court. I’ll probably take it to go and eat it back in my hotel room — because I have dignity — but I love that shit.

That’s also what’s really depressing about being a touring comic, especially if you’ve done it for as long as I have. You realize that things are the same everywhere you go. There was a time when it was like, “Wow, I’m in Wyoming.” But that uniqueness has disappeared. The country is becoming one giant, interchangeable strip mall.

I was doing a gig in Canada, at the West Edmonton Mall, one of the biggest in the world. I was there for a week and it was so cold that no one left the mall. But it didn’t matter. They had everything you could possibly need. They had a roller coaster and a gun range. A seal lived in the mall. He had a pool and everything. People would line up to take pictures with him. He was my competition. I was walking around, trying to get people to see my show, but they all wanted to see the seal.

There’s the future for touring comics. The entire country is going to be inside, in one big mall, filled with roller coasters and Cinnabons. You’ll be competing for an audience with a seal who doesn’t actually do anything but sit in a lukewarm pool and fart sadly. And you’ll be losing.

—As told to Eric Spitznagel

Comedy Central’s Comedy Underground host says that, in the future, comics on the road will compete with a seal that doesn’t do anything

“but sit in a lukewarm pool and fart sadly.” And they’ll be losing

There are more official World Cup songs than ever this year, as the music industry vies to get a share of what in 2010 was reportedly the second-most-watched event in TV history. Broadcast coverage of the 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa reached a record 3.2 billion people worldwide, or 46.4 per-cent of the global population, according to research firm KantarSport. (The 2012 Summer Olympics in London were watched by 3.6 billion.) The 2014 edi-tion, which takes place in Brazil from June 12 through

July 13, is also a draw for marketers, with more than $1 billion spent on official marketing rights in 2010, and a long roster of “ambush” brands prepping campaigns this summer.

The World Cup’s power as a hitmaker has been on the rise since Ricky Martin’s breakout 1998 hit “La Copa de la Vida” topped the charts in seven countries. The 2010 World Cup proved to be a launch-pad for African singer K’naan, whose Coca-Cola-backed anthem “Wavin’ Flag” was a nearly platinum-selling hit in the United States. Shakira scored even big-ger with “Waka Waka (This Time for Africa),” which has sold 1.8 million U.S. downloads (according to Nielsen SoundScan) and continues to top the Latin digital charts some four years after its initial release.

Billboard spoke with music’s biggest World Cup players and FIFA partners to get the inside track on their strategies.


TO M CO RSO NT E A M R C A M U S I C G R O U PP O S I T I O N P R E S I D E N T/ CO OP L AY Corson is the American striker in the game of making and marketing the official 2014 FIFA World Cup song, Pitbull’s “We Are One (Ole Ola)”; the anthem “Dar um Jeito (We Will Find a Way),” with Santana, Wyclef Jean, Avicii and Alexandre Pires; and the 14-track official album, One Love, One Rhythm. Released one month before the tournament, the album also includes songs from Shakira, Ricky Martin and a soul-bossa version of “It’s Your Thing” by The Isley Brothers.S T R A T E G Y The official songs are being launched as superstar singles rather than sta-dium anthems, with each artist promoting his or her song on TV, through social media and in concert. Pitbull, Jennifer Lopez and Claudia Leitte will debut “We Are One” during the Billboard Music Awards on ABC. Ricky Martin debuted “Vida” at the Billboard Latin Music Awards on Telemundo.C H A N C E S Since its April 8 release, “We Are One” has charted for only one week on the Hot 100, at No. 88. The song has sold 42,000 digital downloads in the United States. On YouTube, it has been viewed 16 million times, despite being panned by the majority of view-ers. Corson points to the song’s No. 1 debuts in 19 other countries and says that the sky’s the limit once the Cup begins. “Shakira’s [2010 official World Cup anthem] ‘Waka Waka’ sold almost 10 million [worldwide], when the digi-tal market was not as robust as it is today,” he says. “There will be 700 million people or more

watching when ‘We Are One’ is performed live at the opening, in Sao Paulo. Then social media and excitement for soccer will drive it.”T R I V I A Pitbull aggressively pursued Corson.

“This is not just a song, it’s a major branding opportunity,” says Corson. “Pit has been on a mission, and he’s unstoppable. He’s named Pitbull for a reason.”

ALEX SCHIAVOT E A M S O N Y M U S I C B R A Z I LP O S I T I O N P R E S I D E N TP L AY As the head of Sony in the host country, Schiavo was charged with running the draft for Brazilian artists to be included on the official World Cup tracks — a FIFA mandate. Sony Brazil also ran the Internet SuperSong contest, which let international songwriters compete to have Ricky Martin record their entry.S T R A T E G Y “The World Cup is a kickoff to expose Brazilian artists outside of Brazil,” says Schiavo. Internationally friendly Brazilians Sergio Mendes, Carlinhos Brown and Bebel Gilberto, as well as some artists less well-known abroad, are featured on the World Cup album, which has an overall Carnival atmosphere. In addition, three compilations of Brazilian music will be released globally. Schiavo’s team created advance hype around Martin’s second World Cup recording of the SuperSong contest’s win-ning entry, which encouraged the public to vote for their favorite.C H A N C E S Schiavo has found himself in the role of sweeper, defending Sony from swift criti-cism inside Brazil of the backward looking sound of the official album (see sidebar, page 41).

“Vida.” He was subsequently signed by Sony Music Latin. King has previously recorded several singles and was featured with Prince Royce on the English remix of Daddy Yankee’s 2011 hit “Ven Conmigo.”

EA assisted fel-low FIFA partners Coke and Sony with including

“The World Is Ours” with David Correy and Aloe Blacc and Pitbull’s “We Are One” in the game.S T R A T E G Y “We utilize the platform to make sure that the sound of soccer is truly a global one for everyone,” says Schnur. “What we’ve learned is that in 2014 people in Japan and peo-ple in Italy really want to discover music from Brazil and music from Germany. Long gone are the days when music was something local.”C H A N C E S Inclusion in an EA soccer game is guaranteed international exposure. About 12 million copies of each edition of FIFA soccer games are sold globally. T R I V I A After its debut, on April 15, FIFA World Cup debuted at No. 2 on the U.K. video games chart.

S T R A T E G Y Correy’s play with Coke has taken him around the globe, performing as part of the World Cup Trophy Tour. His relationship with the brand will extend to an artist develop-

ment deal.C H A N C E S Coke bet on a rookie to front its campaign, and for the 28-year-old R&B singer, it’s already a win. Correy’s pre-vious career achievement was as a finalist on The X Factor. With “The World Is Ours,” he has developed a global follow-ing. A deal with a major label is expected to be announced by World Cup kickoff time. “This is

the greatest opportunity of my life,” says Correy. “I’m not going to let anybody down.”

T R I V I A Correy was born in Recife, Brazil, and adopted by a family from Maryland. His role with Coke allowed him to rediscover his Brazilian identity. “Any time we are looking for an artist for a campaign, it always starts with the story we’re trying to tell,” says Belliotti. “David has an incredible story.”

A U S T R A L I AFormer X Factor winner Samantha Jade penned the Aussie Socceroo team song “Up!” and will perform the track at the team’s send-off match against South Africa on May 26. To write the lyrics, she took inspiration from the sentiments of Socceroo stars on what representing the national team means to them.

B E L G I U MBelgian singer Stromae lent his call-and-response anthem “Ta Fete” (“Your Party”) to the Belgian Red Devils as their official song. In a YouTube video dubbed Lecon 28, Stromae wakes up in a tent in a football stadium and comically explains how he created his track, then tries to convince members of the team to appear in his video.

M E X I C OThe brother and sister duo Jesse & Joy wrote “Corazon de Campeon” (“The Heart of a Champion”) as a battle cry before Mexico’s “El Tri” team had triumphed in their bumpy quest to qualify for the World Cup. AT&T chose it for a campaign, partnering with the Mexican Soccer Federation to sign up fans for the company’s services.

E N G L A N DGary Barlow’s World Cup song for Britain’s Three Lions team, a cover of his former group Take That’s “Greatest Day,” debuted to jeers from the virtual stands. Barlow did manage to enlist diverse collaborators for the track, co-helmed by England captain Gary Lineker, including Katy B, Emma Bunton and Pixie Lott.

The World Cup brings plenty of border-bridging hymns that salute the global spirit of soccer . But when it comes to choosing a song for a country’s national team, it’s time to cut the “Kumbaya” and go for something closer to “We Are the Champions.” Pop stars around the world try to score big — and inspire fans and players — with team anthems.

In 2012, PepsiCo took a chance by tapping then-emerging DJ-producer Calvin Harris to create an original song for a European soccer campaign on behalf of its sugar-free

soda Pepsi Max. The result was “Let’s Go,” a global hit featuring Ne-Yo that reached the top 20 of the Billboard Hot 100 and helped establish Harris’ profi le as a major U.S. hitmaker.

But why give away that kind of exposure, to say nothing of the royalties it generated? For its follow-up, the soft-drink company is establish-ing its own label, MSC Sounds, in partnership with Universal’s Caroline Distribution, for a full album tied to the World Cup: Beats of the Beautiful Game, which arrives June 10 . Janelle Monae, Kelly Rowland, Rita Ora, Timbaland and Brazilian hip-hop trio Perlas Negras lead an international roster of 11 acts who have created original or exclusive songs for the project, with Spike Lee, Idris Elba and Diego Luna among the boldfaced names behind the camera for a series of 11 short fi lms inspired by each song.

“What I’m proud of is, no one dusted off an old demo, like, ‘Here’s the one that I’ve been waiting for someone to pick up. Pepsi, give me a check,’ ” says Frank Cooper, chief market-ing offi cer of global consumer engagement for PepsiCo’s global beverage group. “Everyone brought their A game.”

Pepsi will promote the album throughout the summer, debuting a new song on iTunes each week leading up to the album’s release . Although PepsiCo can’t include “World Cup” in its mes-saging (Coca-Cola is the offi cial sponsor), the brand is hoping its fusion of music, sports and fi lm will make for successful ambush marketing .

Beats doubles as a launch-pad for PepsiCo’s Music Accelerator program, through which the brand utilizes its marketing assets ($2.4 billion in global ad spend, 31 million Facebook fans, 2.25 million Twitter followers) to boost the careers of emerging artists as it did for Harris in 2012.

One of the closest parallels this year is unsigned Dutch DJ R3hab, who shares a man-ager with Harris in Three Six Zero’s Mark Gillespie and contributes the original song “Unstoppable.” “It’s a nice situation to be in,” says Gillespie. “With support from somebody like Pepsi and a well-established touring career, you gain a lot of leverage.” —Andrew Hampp

PEPSICO HAS A LABEL?Yep, and an album made just for the World Cup will be its fi rst

I T A L YItalian-born singer Annee makes her play for World Cup fame with “Besame (Pom Pom Pero)” featuring El Hechicero for Italy’s Gli Azzurri (“The Blues”) team. The club-ready track’s video, featuring Annee with two bikini-clad backup dancers enjoying the beach, is bizarrely interjected with shots of a football field .

G H A N A Wiyaala’s “Go Go Black Stars … Goal!” was released on the Djimba World Record label. The anthem features tribal drums and stadium choruses as well as phrases in English, including the uplifting “God bless our homeland, Ghana. And make our nation great and strong,” a Black Stars team prayer.

C A M E R O O NCameroon group The 4 released the buoyant track “Venez Celebrer” (“Come Celebrate”) for the Indomitable Lions, which also features a rap in English: “We don’t score/We don’t score/We don’t shoot ball/This is how we play football/Celebrate, celebrate/I know the Lions gonna take up!”

—Nick Williams

“The Girl From Ipanema” turns 50 this year, and Verve/Universal is celebrating with a reissue of Getz/Gilberto, the Grammy-winning Stan Getz and Joao Gilberto album that includes the English-language version sung by Astrud Gilberto that reached No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1964. But as the World Cup puts the spotlight on Brazil, some are asking why the global perception of Brazilian music hasn’t changed much in those five decades.

Sony is putting out three new CD compilations of Brazilian music in addition to the official World Cup album, One Love, One Rhythm, released on RCA in the United States. As a FIFA partner, the label was required to include collaborators from Brazil on the official song, Pitbull’s “We Are One,” which features Brazil’s Claudia Leitte , and anthem “Dar um Jeito (We Will Find a Way),” from Santana, Wyclef Jean, Avicii and Brazilian singer Alexandre Pires .

The singles from the official World Cup album aren’t swelling national pride in Brazil, though. One Brazilian music executive tells Billboard they’re being received with “subdued indignation,” pointing to samba-tinged dance-pop songs by Pitbull and Ricky Martin that lack a true “Brazilian feel.”

“The music of the World Cup is not very Brazilian,” concurs Marcelo Castello Branco, the former chairman of South and Central America for EMI Music, now head of his own music content and branding company.

Like Astrud Gilberto’s English version of “The Girl From Ipanema,” the main World Cup songs were made for audiences outside of Brazil. Accented by Carnival rhythms, whistles and birdcalls, they feature lyrics in English mixed with Portuguese, with Pitbull adding a bit of Spanish. Another track on the album has New York-based Bebel Gilberto — the daughter of Joao Gilberto — singing a cover of “Tico Tico,” a flirty song made famous by Carmen Miranda in 1945.

“Brazil may be very difficult and tricky to translate, and it’s often tempting to simplify and go with what you already know ,” says Castello Branco , suggesting that Brazilian music may have not gotten far beyond “Ipanema” in the eyes of the world. “It’s frustrating, but it’s not anyone’s fault besides Brazilians themselves,” he adds. “We must learn to speak more clearly about who we are and how we want to be seen. Otherwise the past speaks louder.”

Brazil is the eighth-largest music market in the world and, according to a recent IFPI report; 90 percent of the music in its top 10 is Brazilian. Generally, Brazilian acts haven’t been too concerned about their reach outside the country.

“Most people don’t understand that Brazil is such a large country that the very popular artists can perform 240 concerts a year there,” says Sony Music Brazil president Alex Schiavo. “The size of Brazil makes it complicated to maintain success in Brazil. On the other hand, it is hard to become successful abroad if you are not successful in your own country.”

Some Brazilian artists have turned against the World Cup, writing protest songs against the tournament’s presence in Brazil. But more have begun releasing their own alternatives to the official soundtrack. They include pop duo Victor & Leo, reggae band Skank and superstar Ivete Sangalo, who debuted a World Cup-ready anthem, “Tiempo de Alegria,” during this year’s Carnival.

“The ball is on the ground, and anything may happen,” says Castello Branco. “But I do not think we have, so far, any Brazilian repertoire that has a true chance to be a hit — not locally, not internationally. The feeling is that we all lost a huge opportunity to show the world a new Brazil, musically speaking as well.” —J.C.N.

AS SHE GLIDES INTO AN EAST LONDON PHOTO studio, the first thing you notice about Elly Jackson, better-known as British electro-pop art-ist La Roux, is invariably her radiant auburn hair and its new style. Shorn of the gravity-defying, Ed Grimley-like quiff — or “iced gem,” as she jok-ingly calls it — that the singer (whose stage name is mangled French for “red-haired one”) wore at the time of her 2009 breakthrough, Jackson’s hair has been cropped into an equally eye-catching relaxed wave, dyed multiple shades of vibrant red. After voice issues and fatigue prompted the 26-year-old to spend the last three years mostly out of the public eye (more on that later), it makes for a startling, semi-androgynous reintroduction that, complemented by her porcelain complex-ion and glass-cutting cheekbones, evokes a cross between a young Tilda Swinton and David Bowie circa The Man Who Fell to Earth.

“I just got really f—ing bored of hair spray,” says the dry-witted London native, dressed in

an elegant yellow Paul Smith suit. “I wanted to be a freer, more natural artist. Nothing visually should be less striking — just a lot more natural.”

The same words could also be used to describe La Roux’s sophomore album, Trouble in Paradise, due July 8 on Cherrytree/Interscope. It comes almost five years after the U.S. release of her self-titled debut, which won a Grammy for best electronic/dance album, spawned the hit singles “In for the Kill” (No. 1 on Billboard’s Dance Club Songs chart) and “Bulletproof” (No. 8 on the Hot 100), and led to guest spots on Kanye West’s 2010 magnum opus My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy and West and Jay Z’s Watch the Throne. Needless to say, the artist’s hairstyle is not the only thing that changed in the intervening half decade.

“It feels like another lifetime ago,” says Jackson. Today marks the artist’s first in-depth interview since announcing her return earlier in May. As such, there’s a slight trace of nerves in her voice, but most of all she’s keen to talk,

remaining long after the last of her team has exited the building.

The reasons behind her protracted absence are numerous, explains Jackson, but many of them could be categorized as mental and physical “burnout” after two years of nonstop promotion of her debut. “It just took it out of me. I was less hardcore than I thought,” she says.

Most troubling, after wrapping touring in early 2011, she found herself unable to sing falsetto. “All that would come out is the sound of air,” she recalls glumly. “Nothing else.”

After months of seeing throat specialists, Jackson was diagnosed with residual muscle tension brought on by a form of performance anxiety. “I would do a sound check in the after-noon and sing perfectly, and then come evening no sound would come out,” she says. “It was like this big ball of tension in my throat that had closed up and I had no control over it. I couldn’t sing for about a year.”

He may be the common thread to recent EDM standouts, but Koma insists each of his collabos is unique. “You give 10 chefs the same ingredients, they’re all going to make dishes that taste different,” he says.Co-signs: Jimmy Iovine signed Koma to Interscope in 2012 (a debut full-length will hit stores later this year on Cherrytree/Interscope); Steve Aoki, who just tapped Koma for an upcoming project.What’s next: An album that will mix his pop-rock roots and new EDM cred — presumably with a little help from big-name DJs. “There may be a couple friends on there,” teases Koma. He also will be making the global festival rounds this summer with Afrojack and Tiesto and promoting RAC’s album cut “Cheap Sunglasses.” “There won’t be much sleep,” he says, “but I’ll be popping up everywhere.” —Andrew Hampp

says La Roux, who performed at Coachella in 2013. “If not, then

PASSENGER’S NEW RIDEThe busker- turned-star is leaving his smash hit off his new album: “It’s time to move on” By Jason Lipshutz

EVER UNDERESTIMATE the power of a cute puppy in a Super Bowl ad. That’s one lesson British singer-songwriter Passenger ( real name Michael Rosenberg) learned when

his folk ballad “Let Her Go,” from his 2012 album All the Little Lights (Nettwerk), was featured in an adorable Budweiser spot that premiered during the big game in February and sent the song fl ying up the Billboard Hot 100, where it peaked at No. 5. The song is still hovering at No. 35 on the Hot 100 dated May 24, but the 30-year-old already has a new batch of material, Whispers, due June 10. Here, the former busker discusses his friend-ship with Ed Sheeran, Twitter’s downside and why he’s ready to let go of “Let Her Go .”

What has been the single most memorable moment watching “Let Her Go” blow up?

It has been a series of crazy moments, but one that springs to mind was when I was on tour with Ed Sheeran. “Let Her Go” fi rst got big in Holland, and it coincided beautifully with when we fi rst went to play there [in November 2012]. I was the support act, so the audience would usu-ally be like “Oh, OK, cool” when I came out. But that night, people were there to see Passenger . They sang along , and I had goose bumps the entire set. I can’t explain the feeling, going from busking in the street to that.

What kind of infl uence has Sheeran had on your career?

We’ve been friends for years. I met Ed in a pub in Cambridge fi ve or six years ago. By chance, we were playing on the same bill, to about 30 people. I don’t think he was allowed to drink beer, so they got him a fi zzy pop or something. But I watched his set and he blew my mind, and he liked what I was doing, so we kept in touch.

He broke sooner than I did, and he was so good to me, taking me on tour around the world. He has been an inspiration, and I’ve watched how he deals with fans, and the press, and the pressure, which was essential for me.

“Let Her Go” came out in 2012, but it’s still a top 40 hit. Did you ever consider putting it on your forthcoming album, Whispers? Hits that big are hard to come by.

Not really. “Let Her Go” has been smashed on the radio, and I don’t want people to get sick of me. As an artist, you want to develop your work, and for people to focus on your new songs. It’s time to move on — for me, anyway.

On your new single, “Scare Away the Dark,” you sing, “We want something more, not just nasty and bitter/We want something real, not just Facebook and Twitter.” Are you not a fan of social media?

I am, actually. Facebook has been massive for me as far as connecting with fans. That song is a comment on how we live today, because I feel like, if we’re not careful, we’ll be stuck to our phones all the time and miss the really cool stuff that’s going on. I was playing a festival last summer, and I looked out at one point and saw 15,000 people watching the show on their phones. Everyone was sectioned off into their own little world. I’m as bad as everybody else, but I just thought it was a point worth making.

Have acts like Mumford & Sons and The Lumineers breaking during the past few years helped “Let Her Go” become a hit?

Defi nitely. When I fi rst started playing, it was impossible for a guy with a guitar to get a gig. It was all DJs . Even two years ago, “Let Her Go” wouldn’t have been able to do what it’s done.

MONTREAL SEX CLUBS“There have been times on tour when everyone else goes to a sex club for a laugh, but this wasn’t that. We were walking through Montreux [Jazz Festival] and there was a sex club called Sexoteque. It had a dirty French electronic look to it. My tour manager said, ‘What a great name for an album!’ I told my label I was going to call the album Sexoteque and they told me, ‘F— off.’ So I was like, ‘OK, I’ll write a song about it instead.’ ”

CONNAN MOCK ASIN“A lot of modern dance music is so unsexy. But Connan’s ‘I’m the Man, That Will Find You’ is the most sexual song you’ll hear in your life. It sounds like caramel.”

ALIEN”[Producer] Ian [Sherwin] and I connected on the spaceship in this film. It was very futuristic, but also very dirty and human. There’s pictures of half-naked women falling off the wall. There’s bits of spaghetti on the side. It’s just like any recording studio! We wanted our album to sound like that.”

The problem was eventually solved with the aid of a confi dence therapist, but progress on her sec-ond album remained painfully slow. Disagreeing on the direction the record should take, Jackson and her musical partner — producer-composer Ben Langmaid, the mostly unseen other half of La Roux — parted ways in February 2012. “Once I started to know what I wanted for the album, I realized that that relationship wasn’t the best way forward,” says Jackson tactfully.

Engineer Ian Sherwin stepped in and took over production duties. Their shared goal, says Jackson, was an album that evoked “what peo-ple in the 1970s thought that the future was going to look and sound like. I didn’t want to do the same record as my debut. I didn’t want it to feel the same because I didn’t feel the same.”

True to her word, the six tracks (of nine total that will make up the album) she played Billboard show a progression from the jagged electro-pop of La Roux to a more organic, richly layered contem-porary disco-meets-new wave s ound fi l led with pulsating neon grooves. Immediate highlights inclu de bouncy ’80s synth-pop gem “Cruel Sexuality,” the dancehall-infused “Tropical Chancer” and fi rst single “Uptight Downtown,” a sprightly mix of echoing, Nile Rodgers- inspired gui-tars and Jackson’s ethereal vocals, singing of “streets alive with people, people who want to move.”

“I like to think every-thing on the album could be a single. If not, then why the f— is it on there?” says Jackson, who embarks on her first U.S. tour in over three years this summer. “You have to make the record that you want to make, when you want to make it. However frustrating it might be for management, the label or even my own career, I’m not going to do something unless I feel that it’s the best thing that I can possibly do.”

“When I first started playing, it was

impossible for a guy with a guitar to get a gig,” says Passenger.

Reviews

Gilbert’s decision to challenge Nashville’s mores seems to have helped propel him up the charts.

M u s i c

OON JUST AS I AM, Brantley Gilbert clings to his small-town status like a badge of honor. The Jefferson, Ga., native is country proud, but his worldview has expanded beyond the “Kick It in the Sticks” mentality he grasped on his second set, 2010’s Halfway to Heaven. The new album’s 11 songs embrace the notion that today’s country fans — and artists like the 29-year-old Gilbert — cut their musical teeth on rock and metal just as much as on Garth Brooks (himself a Kiss acolyte). How else do you explain songs like the album opener, the muscular, suggestive “If You Want a Bad Boy,” which lyrically references Lynyrd Skynyrd and Hank Williams Jr., but then veers into a screeching guitar solo that wouldn’t sound out of place on a Motley Crue record? Or “My Baby’s Guns N’ Roses,” which shamelessly drops enough GNR song titles that it borders on novelty?

Like Eric Church and Jamey Johnson, the scruffy, heavily tattooed and silver-ring-bejeweled Gilbert passes for what current country likes to call “outlaw,” though these artists would be the first to admit they have little of the pioneer-ing grit of forebears like Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings and Merle Haggard. Instead, those earlier titans serve as an aspirational, if unattainable, touchstone for Gilbert and his seeming desire to confront current Nashville conventions. That means Just As I Am remains rela-tively free of the cookie-cutter cliches of “bro country” songs dominating the

airwaves. He probably holds trucks and dirt roads as dear as the next guy — he did co-write Jason Aldean’s hit “Dirt Road Anthem” after all — but you get the sense that Gilbert would sneer at the frat boys waving their hands in the air to Florida Georgia Line’s “Cruise” as he blows motorcycle exhaust in their faces.

“ L i g h t s o f M y Hometown” may begin with the same loping sway of “Cruise,” but the six-minute opus morphs into something much more formida-ble both lyrically and musically, eventually building to a screaming guitar and an anthemic, Springsteen-like call to “rise up as the sun goes down.” It’s far and away the most ambitious track on the album, and it shows that Gilbert, who wrote or co-wrote every song, is reaching for something more than low-hanging chart fruit. Similarly, the first single, the Hot Country Songs chart-topper “Bottoms Up,” has a slithering, sultry underbelly, with a hint of danger missing from many radio hits.

But for all his rough-and-tumble appear-ance, Gilbert has an appealing, vulnerable

marshmallow center that he sometimes lets shine through, especially on album closer “My Faith in You.” All country boys, no mat-ter how bad after dark, love their mamas and Jesus. But Gilbert, perhaps inspired by his own hard-won sobriety, stretches

beyond platitudes for a desperate tale of someone who fervently believes God is his last hope. “For a hell-raiser like me to have a safe place to land, I can’t thank you enough — you saved my life,” he sings, in a stirring testimony that even a cynic can tell is heartfelt.

Jus t As I Am hits enough of these high-water marks to make the songs that fall flat feel like missed opportuni-ties: Ballad “Let It Ride” may appeal to Gilbert’s female fans, but it feels stale and generic com-pared with much of the

rest of the album. Same with “17 Again,” which neatly combines country music’s love of nostalgia and G-rated sexuality, but feels strangely hollow. There are certainly mis-steps, but Just As I Am showcases a young country hitmaker’s developing talents in an impressive, if inconsistent, way.

Niemann recruits Pitbull for a watered-down toast to cross-

over success.

One year after Florida Georgia Line corralled Nelly to help inaugurate the summer of “Cruise,” Jerrod Niemann receives a well-timed assist from Pitbull, pop music’s most ubiquitous guest star, on a top 40-crossover-ready version of his Hot Country Songs hit “Drink to That All Night.” Niemann’s original dip in the Auto-Tune pool actually doesn’t need too much updating for this blatantly party-centric remix, with the epic-night lyrics and back-slapping rock track providing a cozy environment for Mr. 305. But the offbeat collaboration slides into awkward gimmickry: “Step on the gas, full steam ahead/Real-life ‘Wolf of Wall Street,’ gettin’ bread,” spits Pitbull, pouring out his always-grand ambitions while Niemann serves another shot of Jack. The remix finds two disparate artists helping each other out, but doesn’t give the listener anything new to toast to. —Jason Lipshutz

S I N G L E S

M Y C R A Z Y G I R L F R I E N D“Crazy Stupid Love”

Capitol Records

This coed dance-pop group’s sound is as wild as its name suggests, with megawatt diva vocals, skater-dude party raps and big beats all included. The mix is condensed to head-spinning eff ect on “Crazy Stupid Love,” the immediately catchy follow-up to the foursome’s debut single “Go F— Yourself.” Call My Crazy Girlfriend gimmicky radio bait or brilliant popism — both descriptions suff ice.

—Dan Hyman

YO U N G T H E G I A N T“Mind Over Matter”

Fueled by Ramen

Backed by thick strings and new-wave synths, Young the Giant frontman Sameer Gadhia bares his soul about a love that geography can’t unravel. “I’m in tatters thinking about her/Taste my disaster, it’s heavy on my tongue,” he sings. “Mind Over Matter” is a lighters-up slow-burner — and the best song from the group’s album of the same name.

—Ryan Reed

K I P M O O R E“Dirt Road”

MCA Nashville

On “Dirt Road,” Kip Moore slyly questions the tradi-tional construct of faith through country tropes. For him, heaven includes a dirt road, a “couple cans of Bud Light” and his baby by his side. Moore’s scruff y delivery makes his passion for the subject clear, and he’s supported by surprisingly powerful backing vocals that move like a gospel choir. Points to Moore for stepping outside the box; listeners might fi nd more to relate to here than expected.

—Jill Menze

R I C K Y M A RT I N“Vida”

Sony Music Latin

The World Cup needed another chest-thumping anthem, and Ricky Martin’s “Vida” does the trick: Over appropriately celebratory drums, he shouts triumphant commands that bounce from English to Spanish (“All people in every nation/Put your manos in the sky”). It’s hard to listen to “Vida” and not feel ready to accomplish something. —Kathy Iandoli

Sharon Van Etten, Are We There

SHARON VAN ETTEN’S exquisitely devastating chronicles of love lost have always seemed shockingly personal and intimate, like

overhearing the couple sitting next to you at a restaurant breaking up. But the Brooklyn-based folk singer- songwriter’s earlier albums were actually shared visions, consisting of numerous collab-orations with a widening series of indie producers and musi-cians. Greg Weeks (Bonnie “Prince” Billy, Marissa Nadler) helmed her 2009 label debut, Because I Was in Love, and The National’s Aaron Dessner produced her 2012 break-through Tramp, which also featured members of Beirut, The National and Wye Oak and debuted at No. 75 on the Billboard 200.

But for her fourth album, Are We There, Van Etten, 33, reportedly wanted to be fully in charge of her own musical confessions. She self-produces for the fi rst time — though she did enlist Grammy-winning producer Stewart Lerman, whom she worked with on HBO’s Boardwalk Empiresoundtrack, to co-produce. With his help, Van Etten has crafted the most debilitating, emotion-ally resonant record of her career.

The liner notes still read like a who’s who of contemplative indie rock — frequent collaborators Adam Granduciel and Dave Hartley of The War on Drugs play guitar and bass, Lower Dens’ Jana Hunter contributes vocal duties and Jonathan Meiburg of Shearwater handles organs and the Wurlitzer. But there’s no mistake that Van Etten’s voice is at the helm here. Few others tackle romantic self-fl agellation with such unfl inching honesty, and she’s at her most punishing yet on Are We There. “Break my legs so I won’t walk to you/Cut my tongue so I can’t talk to you/Burn my skin so I can’t feel you/Stab my eyes so I can’t see,” she sings crush-ingly on “Your Love Is Killing Me.”

If it sounds like too much, well, sometimes it is. Van Etten falls hard, and she isn’t afraid to bring everyone else down with her. Anyone who has had their heart broken will recognize the sentiments behind song titles like

“I Love You but I’m Lost” and “Nothing Will Change.” Or the arrangements of “Our Love,” with its bittersweet slide guitar and Van Etten’s delicate but determined quaver confessing, “I’m

a sinner, I have sinned.” Her openness to letting people in, be they lovers or listeners (and, for that matter, fellow musicians), makes Are We There as inviting as it is painful.

Still, there’s a glimmer of hope . For one , Van Etten is much more self-assured. She sings in a clear, rich alto that’s a far cry from the barely there warble and slight acous-tic strumming of Because I Was in Love. Her voice dips boldly from falsetto to her lowest reaches on songs like “Taking Chances.” She also adds surprising levity in the last few seconds of Are We There. After a pause follow-ing “Every Time the Sun Comes Up,” Van Etten and a bandmember can be heard

breaking into giggles in the studio. “I’m sorry,” she gasps, “my headphones fell off .”

It’s a silly moment, but it gives us a diff erent, equally aff ecting glimpse of the real Van Etten. After being with her the whole heartbreaking way, it’s good to know she’ll be OK in the end.

After 13 nonconsecutive weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, the Frozen soundtrack steps aside for the Now 50 compilation. Now 50 debuts at No. 1 with 153,000 copies sold in the week ending May 11, according to Nielsen SoundScan. Meanwhile, Frozen dips to No. 2 with 99,000 (down 7 percent) after seven straight weeks of sales north of 100,000.

Now 50 is the 50th installment of the long-running Now That’s What I Call Music! series that launched in 1998. It’s the 18th No. 1 for the franchise and its best sales week in nearly five years. The last Now set to sell more units in a week was Now 31, which debuted at No. 1 with 169,000 copies in the week ending July 5, 2009.

In addition to the numbered Now series — which features contemporary pop hits — the Now brand has spun off themed compilations like Now That’s What I Call Christmas!

In total, all 50 of the numbered Now albums have reached the top 10 of the Billboard 200. The franchise has also tallied top 10s with the themed releases Now That’s What I Call Christmas! (No. 3), Now #1’s (No. 6), Now That’s What I Call Christmas! 3 (No. 10), Now That’s What I Call Country (No. 7) and Now That’s What I Call Country Vol. 2 (No. 10).

Notably, since Now 31, the only other various artists albums to earn bigger weeks than Now 50 were nontraditional compilations: the Kanye West-presented G.O.O.D. Music Cruel Summer album (No. 2 debut with 205,000) and the Hope for Haiti Now live charity release (No. 1 debut with 171,000).

Considering that compilation albums are basically a thing of the past, it’s notable that the Now franchise has endured for nearly 16 years. In 1998, often the only way consumers could own or personally enjoy hit songs was by pur-chasing a full-length album. Why? By the late 1990s, the industry had started to kill off the commercial single market, making CD singles obsolete. So, back in those pre-YouTube, pre-iTunes days, if you really wanted to get a hit single, usually the only way to do so was to buy a full album that contained the song.

Fast-forward to 2014: music fans can consume music in myriad ways, and are no longer forced to buy full-length albums for just one hit. Yet, the Now releases continue to represent a valuable purchase for many consumers — as evidenced by their chart-topping success — and especially for casual music fans, who see them as a convenient way to collect a bunch of hits in one tidy package.

Merchant’s Selling Venerable singer-songwriter Natalie Merchant returns with her self-titled sixth studio album, which enters Folk Albums at No. 2, Top Rock Albums at No. 5 and the Billboard 200 at No. 20. The set is her first since 2010’s Leave Your Sleep (which topped Folk Albums) and first collection of all-original material since 2001’s Motherland. She scored her highest solo peak on the Billboard 200 with Ophelia (No. 8) in 1998. Her chart history dates to Sept. 19, 1987, when, with Merchant as lead singer, 10,000 Maniacs entered the Billboard 200 with their alt-folk breakthrough In My Tribe. —Gary Trust

The track tumbles by 46 percent to

235,000 downloads sold — a not

atypical plunge for a song that makes

a lofty sales start before gaining

mass appeal at radio. It roars 9-4

on Streaming Songs (6.5 million

streams, up 46 percent) and blasts

onto Radio Songs at No. 30 (41

million impressions, up 70 percent).

The duet reaches the Digital

Songs top 10 (15-6), surging

by 26 percent to 101,000

downloads sold after its

first full week on sale. It

had debuted with 80,000

after only three full days of

availability.

The song soars across all three of

the chart’s metrics. It climbs 45-34

on Digital Songs (47,000; up 30

percent) and gains by 27 percent

to 26 million in radio audience and

40 percent to 1.4 million streams.

All three songs sporting Sam

Smith’s vocals rise (this title and

those at Nos. 20 and 69). “Latch”

reaches the top 40, bounding

30-24 on Digital Songs (56,000;

up 12 percent) and entering

Streaming Songs at No. 48 (1.7

million, up 4 percent).

Q&A

Jhené Aiko

“The Worst,” which is now No. 46 on the Billboard Hot 100, is your first charting single as a lead artist. Why do you think it's clicking with listeners?I wanted to put together songs on my EP [2013’s Sail Out] that sounded familiar since a lot of fans know me from the features I’ve done. I really wanted to put a feature on “The Worst.” But [producer/Def Jam executive] No I.D. felt I could just finish writing the song myself and pretty much feature myself. So I turned it into a song about a situation that happened to me, about a guy who brought me into his world and then just left me there. Toying with someone’s emotions — that’s the worst. I wanted to keep it simple with lyrics people can understand. It’s something all women go through. It’s even a relatable topic for guys.

Can fans expect more of the same on your late-summer album debut, Souled Out?The EP was catering more to R&B/hip-hop. The album is more open. None of the EP songs will be on the album. It’s a whole new thing. You can interpret it as R&B, a little alternative. It’s exploring every type of music I’ve ever listened to. It’s just the beginning of me really opening up and letting fans hear more of what I can do.

You played Coachella for the first time. What was that like?A dream come true. Everyone in the audience was so receptive and open-minded. Right before I got onstage, I was really anxious. Then I felt that audience energy, which just made me want to do my best.

The Mike Reid/Allen Shamblin

ballad, originally a No. 18 Hot

100 hit for Bonnie Raitt in 1992,

has now charted twice in May: In

addition to Kaufman’s cover from

The Voice (66,000 sold), Priyanka

Chopra’s club version entered

the May 17 Hot Dance/Electronic

Songs tally (No. 28).

The song marks Sia’s first

Hot 100 visit as a lead

artist after three featured

turns. She rose highest

on Flo Rida’s “Wild Ones”

(No. 5, 2012). That track

is one of four top 10s she

has co-written, including

Rihanna’s three-week No. 1

“Diamonds” in 2012.

Sarah McLachlan’s sixth top 10 set

comes 25 years after she debuted

on the tally with Touch (April 29,

1989). Shine On is McLachlan’s first

album with Verve Records after

spending her entire career on Arista

and Nettwerk.

After 75 weeks on the chart, the album

has yet to rank below No. 31, nor sell

less than 12,000 copies in a week. Its

cumulative sales stand at 1.8 million.

It has been five years since her last album,

It’s Not Me, It’s You, arrived. It bowed at

No. 5 with 70,000, while her latest begins

with 17,000.

The all-star album, culled from

a live concert special taped in

January, boasts the likes of Eric

Church, Martina McBride, Natalie

Cole and Jackson Browne. With

8,000 sold, the set also bows at

No. 11 on Top Rock Albums.

Family AffairThe mother-and-son team of Ben & Ellen Harper (above) debut on the Billboard 200 at No. 43 with Childhood Home, the pair’s first collaborative album.

Music runs in the Harper family. In 1958, Ellen’s parents, Charles and Dorothy Chase, opened the Folk Music Center in Claremont, Calif. Ellen runs the center’s shop, concert series, folk festival and teaches music classes. Ben now owns the center.

Released in time for Mother’s Day, Childhood Home starts with 7,000 sold in the week ending May 11, according to Nielsen SoundScan. It also enters at No. 3 on Folk Albums and No. 12 on Top Rock Albums.

All told, this is Ben’s 13th charting album on the Billboard 200 and ninth where he shares billing. He previously released sets with his bands The Innocent Criminals and Relentless7, in addition to efforts with The Blind Boys of Alabama and Charlie Musselwhite.

Ben and Ellen aren’t the first sibling-parent combo to appear on Billboard’s charts. They follow a number of notable family pairings, including Frank and Nancy Sinatra, Ozzy and Kelly Osbourne, Billy Ray and Miley Cyrus, Vicente and Alejandro Fernandez, and Jay Z and Blue Ivy (billed as B.I.C.). But the Harpers stand out from the crowd, as they are a mother-child combo as opposed to the more frequent father-child pairing. —Keith Caulfield

The iTunes store discounted

select independently distributed

albums ($6.99 and up), boosting

Vampire Weekend by 99 percent.

The promotion also aids Passenger

(No. 61, up 62 percent) and The

Lumineers (No. 117, up 82 percent)

Not unexpectedly, the alt-rock

album takes a 61 percent tumble

in its second week (falling to 4,000

sold) as so much of its debut week

was amplified by pre-orders and

sales driven by a devoted fan base.

Thanks, Mom!In the wake of Mother’s Day (May 11), album sales are up for a second week in a row for the first time since the week ending Dec. 22, 2013.

The holiday helped spur a 5 percent gain in sales in the week ending May 11 (4.6 million), which followed a 2 percent gain in the week previous (where 4.4 million albums were sold).

The industry last experienced back-to-back weeks of album volume growth in the weeks ending Dec. 15 and Dec. 22, courtesy of Christmas.

To Be Loved by Michael Buble, which sells 4,000 copies (up 108 percent, re-entering at No. 79) is one of the notable gainers on the Billboard 200 that likely owe their rise to Mother’s Day. Others include Bruno Mars’ Unorthodox Jukebox (10,000; up 70 percent, 47-31), Martina McBride’s Everlasting (4,000; up 44 percent, 138-91) and Luke Bryan’s Crash My Party (24,000; up 42 percent, 9-7).

Music consumers also bought mom-inspired songs, as evidenced by gains that a number of cuts collected. Those gainers include Boyz II Men’s “A Song for Mama” (up 570 percent with 6,000 sold for the week), 2Pac’s “Dear Mama” (up 196 percent, 5,000), Tim McGraw’s

“Meanwhile Back at Mama’s” (featuring Faith Hill; up 32 percent, 12,000) and Lee Ann Womack’s sentimental favorite “I Hope You Dance” (up 28 percent, 3,000). —Keith Caulfield

EXO-K is half of the

12-member K-pop act

EXO, while the other half

is EXO-M. Both subgroups

released EPs a week ago,

and both debut on the

charts this week. EXO-K

is No. 2 on World Albums,

while EXO-M is No. 5.

Sales generated by Mother’s Day

help lift the album, but the main

driver behind its 116 percent

increase is venue sales of the

release at a Columbus, Ohio,

concert on May 2 (as part of the

Women of Faith Tour).

In support of their summer tour,

Styx and Foreigner team up for

this compilation of rerecordings,

which bows with 3,000 copies

sold. Its physical CD is exclusive to

Walmart, while its digital equivalent

was widely available.

Q&A

Sarah McLachlanYour new album Shine On debuts at No. 4 on the Billboard 200 on your new label home, Verve, after a lot of changes in your life. How did those experiences shape the record?Before I started recording, I felt like I had to shake things up and do something different, even though it was scary. A lot of these decisions took me years, but within four days, everything kind of happened at once. My dad died, I separated from my husband, and I separated from [ex-manager] Terry [McBride] and [longtime label] Nettwerk — all my male anchors. It was terrifying — for a while I was kind of rudderless. Terry and I had a great relationship, but the best way for me was to start fresh.

It’s your first album since the 2010 revival of Lilith Fair was canceled due to poor ticket sales. What did you learn from that experience?[The first Lilith] was an

amazing time in my life.

When we did it a second

time, it didn’t have the same

innocent mind-set behind

it. So for me the greatest

lesson was to do more

research on the market, and

not just walk blindly into

something that was good

to do because my record’s

coming out.

You’re releasing new music at the same time as your peers Natalie Merchant and Tori Amos. Where do you see yourself in the pop-culture landscape?The idealist in me believes

that good music will rise

to the top. I’ve never been

a singles artist — I make

records. It’s still crazy to

me that Surfacing sold

10 million records. But I

wasn’t writing for anyone.

I write to please myself.

Thankfully, other people

enjoy it. —Andrew Hampp

‘Wiggle’ Works Onto ChartJason Derulo (below) earns his fourth debut on Streaming Songs — and highest yet — as “Wiggle” works its way onto the chart at No. 25.

The entry is due to a 78 percent increase in U.S. plays on YouTube in the week ending May 11, according to Nielsen BDS, as the single has become one of the hottest background tracks to attach to everything from dance choreography videos to parody remixes on the platform. In total,

“Wiggle” received more than 2.1 million streams for the week — an 80 percent increase.

Farther up the chart, Ariana Grande’s “Problem” (featuring Iggy Azalea) ascends 9-4 to become Grande’s highest-charting single on Streaming Songs to date, edging out “The Way” (featuring Mac Miller), which peaked at No. 5 in June 2013.

Strong online traction remains for “Problem” on the Streaming chart because of its official lyric video on Vevo, whose activity makes up 39 percent of the track’s 6.4 million plays for the week. The song’s overall 46 percent gain in streams was also aided by buzz from Grande’s performance of the song on The Ellen DeGeneres Show on May 6.

—William Gruger

Miley’s Mother’s Day GainThe Social 50, which launched Dec. 11, 2010, has undergone a formula overhaul. The chart now focuses solely on metrics related to fan interactions and conversations, with weekly plays from YouTube and Vevo no longer factoring into an artist’s ranking.

Billboard’s launch of On-Demand Songs in 2012 and the all-encompassing Streaming Songs (which includes YouTube and Vevo views) a year ago has provided those services and myriad other streaming providers their own specific rankings. Streaming data has also become a major factor on the Hot 100 as well as Billboard’s other sales/airplay/hybrid songs charts.

The updated formula incorporates the following metrics: weekly additions of fans across Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Instagram; reactions and conversations across Twitter, YouTube, Instagram and Facebook; and views of an artist’s Wikipedia page.

Due to the change in methodology, some artists experience notable shifts in rank compared with their standing on the May 17 chart.

As the new methodology places a greater emphasis on reactions, Miley Cyrus (above) benefits heavily from an old photo of her and her mother that she posted on Mother’s Day on Instagram that received 1.1 million likes through May 15. The surge created a 244 percent rise in weekly likes on Instagram, which caused Cyrus to rise 18-2.

—William Gruger

New No. 1 SongzA host of Billboard airplay charts boast new leaders, including Rhythmic, where Trey Songz (above) scores his third No. 1 as “Na Na” nudges 2-1. He previously topped the tally, for a week each, with “Bottoms Up” (featuring Nicki Minaj) in 2010 and “2 Reasons” (featuring T.I.) in 2012.

The Black Keys continue to build anticipation for their eighth studio album, Turn Blue, due in the upper reaches of next week’s Billboard 200. Lead single

“Fever” crowns Alternative (2-1) and Rock Airplay (see Billboard.biz), likewise rising 2-1 and adding Greatest Gainer honors (up 14 percent to 13.7 million audience impressions, according to Nielsen BDS).

“Fever” is the duo’s fourth Alternative No. 1, following

“Tighten Up” (2010-11), “Lonely Boy” (2011-12) and “Gold on the Ceiling” (2012).

It’s the pair’s third leader on Rock Airplay (following

“Tighten” and “Lonely”).Meanwhile, Newsboys

notch their second Christian Airplay No. 1, as “We Believe” lifts 3-1. The band last led in 2003 and 2004, when “You Are My King (Amazing Love)” spent seven weeks on top. In between, Newsbsoys tallied nine top 10s, rising as high as No. 2 with “Born Again” (2010) and “God’s Not Dead (Like a Lion)” (2012). (The latter is back on Hot Christian Songs [see page 68] thanks to its sales resurgence owed to its inclusion in the recently released film God’s Not Dead.) Newsboys add to their impressive week by debuting at No. 50 on Christian Airplay with their Mother’s Day-themed “That Home (A Tribute to Moms).”

Best Sales Week, Second No. 1 For Hayes Hunter Hayes (above) scores his second No. 1 on Top Country Albums — and his first to debut atop the list — as Storyline bows with 69,000 copies, his best-ever Nielsen SoundScan week. Hayes also adds a career-high rank on the Billboard 200, where his second full-length set starts at No. 3 (surpassing the No. 7 peak of his self-titled debut last year). The singer rang his previous best weekly sum when Hunter Hayes moved 40,000 during Christmas week 2012. That title has sold 1.1 million copies since its release in October 2011. Meanwhile, “Invisible,” the lead single from Storyline, bullets at No. 16 on Hot Country Songs following a No. 4 peak in February.

Elsewhere on Hot Country Songs, Blake Shelton‘s “My Eyes” (featuring Gwen Sebastian) rockets 21-10 with Digital and Airplay Gainer honors following the duo’s performance of the track on the May 5 episode of NBC’s The Voice. The song shifted 53,000 downloads (up 150 percent), spiking 18-3 on Country Digital Songs. On the Nielsen BDS-fueled Country Airplay chart (see page 59), “My Eyes” rises 21-17 (19.3 million audience impressions, up 33 percent) after just five weeks on that list.

Meanwhile, Thomas Rhett dominates the Country Airplay tally for a second time as he jumps 3-1 with “Get Me Some of That.” He previously led with “It Goes Like This,” which spent three weeks at the summit last fall.

Paramore Is Tops With ‘Fun’Paramore (above) scores its first No. 1 on Hot Rock Songs, rising 3-1, as “Ain’t It Fun” bumps Bastille’s

“Pompeii” to No. 2 after 12 weeks. This is also the pop-punk trio’s first top 10 song on the Billboard Hot 100 (13-10) since debuting on the chart with “Misery Business” in 2007. (The song peaked at No. 26.) The band previously peaked as high as No. 24 on the Hot 100 with both 2010’s “The Only Exception” and 2013’s

“Still Into You.” Its 2013 self-titled album debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, the group’s fourth full-length album and first leader.

On Hard Rock Albums, Black Stone Cherry lands its first No. 1 as Magic Mountain debuts in the top spot with 13,000 sold, according to Nielsen SoundScan. The set also marks the Southern metal band’s highest rank on Top Rock Albums (No. 6) and the Billboard 200 (No. 22). Black Stone Cherry previously charted as high as No. 28 on the Billboard 200 with 2008’s Folklore and Superstition.

Also on Top Rock Albums, Tune-Yards and Lykke Li score their first and second top 10s with Nikki Nack (No. 8; 11,000 sold) and I Never Learn (No. 9; 10,000 sold), respectively.

On Hard Rock Digital Songs, Linkin Park collects its fourth leader and first No. 1 start with “Until It’s Gone,” giving the band Nos. 1 and 2 concurrently. This is the second time the band has held the chart’s top two spots. The first was when “Burn It Down” and

“Lost in the Echo” were at No. 1 and No. 2, respectively, on the chart dated July 14, 2012. —Emily White

Indie SpiritKansas City, Mo., rapper Tech N9ne scores his second Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums No. 1 as the fifth installment of his Tech N9ne Collabos series, Strangeulation, opens with 36,000, according to Nielsen SoundScan. His first chart-topper, the solo set All 6’s and 7’s, debuted atop the list with 56,000 copies in 2011. The debut positions of previous Collabos albums — Misery Loves Kompany (2007, No. 23, 13,000), Sickology 101 (2009, No. 12, 21,000), The Gates Mixed Plate (2010, No. 5, 17,000) and Welcome to Strangeland (2011, No. 4, 26,000) — rose steadily with each album.

The Tech N9ne Collabos series showcases the independently distributed rapper’s Strange Music roster. It includes Krizz Kaliko, Brotha Lynch Hung, Jay Rock and Prozak, all of whom have posted top 10 sets on Rap Albums. Underground veteran Murs, the label’s latest signee, is featured on three cuts after inking with Strange in February.

Meanwhile, fellow indie-distributed act Atmosphere, consisting of rapper Slug and DJ-producer Ant, makes its ninth appearance on Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums as Southsiders opens at No. 3 with 23,000. The Minneapolis hip-hop duo’s impressive entrance ties its previous best chart position achieved by 2011’s The Family Sign with 28,000. Southsiders comes on the heels of Atmosphere’s The Lake Nokomis Maxi Single EP, which debuted and peaked at No. 36 on the chart dated May 3 with 2,000 units.

Usher’s ReturnMore than 20 years after first gracing a Billboard chart, and nearly two years since his last appearance, Usher returns to Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs with

“Good Kisser.” The banging track opens at No. 18 with Hot Shot Debut honors, marking his best start since “Love in This Club Part II,” featuring Beyoncé and Lil Wayne, opened at No. 14 on the chart dated May 10, 2008. “Kisser” also debuts at No. 19 on R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay (see page 59), reaching 9.5 million listeners in the May 5-11 Nielsen BDS tracking week, and at No. 11 on R&B/Hip-Hop Digital Songs (page 60) with 29,000 downloads, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

Meanwhile, Pharrell follows the biggest hit of his career, the 12-week Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs No. 1, with “Come Get It Bae,” which opens at No. 21. Though narrowly missing the top 20, the debut is the best in the singer-songwriter-producer’s 10-year-plus chart history as an artist, beating the No. 29 start for “Happy” in January. “Bae” reached 2.5 million listeners in the May 7-13 tracking week (a 108 percent rise) and was downloaded 29,000 times (a 235 percent lift).

Further down the list, DJ Khaled returns with “They Don’t Love U No More,” featuring Jay Z, Meek Mill, Rick Ross and French Montana, bowing at No. 30. The Mike Zombie-produced track is the first single off Khaled’s eighth studio set, I Changed a Lot, due later this year.

Santana ShinesSantana’s first Spanish-language album, Corazon, debuts at No. 1 on Top Latin Albums, moving 22,000 units, according to Nielsen SoundScan. Corazon also enters the Billboard 200 at No. 9, granting Santana its 13th top 10 on that list dating back to 1969 when the act’s self-titled set peaked at No. 4. Santana’s guest-filled album includes Latin superstars Diego Torres, Romeo Santos, Gloria Estefan and Juanes, with the lattermost’s featured track, “La Flaca,” re-entering Hot Latin Songs at No. 46. Corazon also contains a sampling of English-language songs with the likes of R&B singer Miguel and reggae giant Ziggy Marley.

J Balvin claims his first No. 1 on Latin Airplay (4-1) as he takes the Greatest Gainer tag with “6AM” (featuring Farruko), which posts 12.4 million audience impressions (a 25 percent increase), according to Nielsen BDS. The track concurrently jumps 7-3 on Hot Latin Songs, selling 2,000 digital downloads (up 4 percent). Balvin recently secured a supporting slot on the Enrique Iglesias/Pitbull tour, which begins in Newark, N.J., on Sept. 12.

On Regional Mexican Airplay, La Arrolladora Banda el Limon de Rene Camacho’s “Mi Segunda Vida” steps 2-1 to become the group’s ninth chart-topper. On Hot Latin Songs, it climbs 18-13, taking Streaming Gainer honors (71,600 U.S. streams, up 41 percent). A videoclip released May 9 has amassed nearly 500,000 worldwide views in the five days since its debut.

Jamiroquai Reheated Jamiroquai jams its way onto Hot Dance/Electronic Songs (No. 10) and Dance/Electronic Streaming Songs (No. 5) with the 15-year-old hit “Canned Heat,” spurred by a viral video created by college student Matt Bray. It stemmed from Bray’s ProjectOneLife, in which he identifies and accomplishes lifelong bucket list items. Bray’s 117th item,

“Complete 100 days of dance,” was done by filming himself dancing daily for 120 days to “Canned Heat,” then editing the clip by using one second of footage from each day. According to Nielsen BDS,

“Canned Heat” earned 1.8 million U.S. streams; 98 percent of them were from YouTube, driven by Bray’s May 3 video posting.

“Canned Heat” hit the top of Dance Club Songs in September 1999.

Cascada, who charted nine songs and three No. 1s between 2006 and 2010 on Dance/Mix Show Airplay, returns to the charts with

“Blink.” With sales of 7,000 units in its initial sales week, according to Nielsen SoundScan, Cascada catapults onto Hot Dance/Electronic Songs at No. 34 and Dance/Electronic Digital Songs at No. 16.

Avicii grabs his sixth No. 1 on Dance Club Songs with “Addicted to You” (2-1). It’s the fourth top 10 from his True album and third No. 1, following “Wake Me Up!” (No. 1), “You Make Me” (No. 7) and “Hey Brother” (No. 1). Remixes from David Guetta, Sick Individuals and Bent Collective, among others, contributed to Avicii’s achievement.

Aussie Festival Celebrates 25th YearAustralia’s Byron Bay Bluesfest earns the top Boxscore ranking with more than $13 million in ticket sales from its annual five-day run during Easter weekend. This year the festival celebrated its 25th anniversary with a wide variety of local and international performers on seven stages. Located near the beachside town of Byron Bay, about 500 miles north of Sydney, the festival was staged at the Tyagarah Tea Tree Farm, its home for the past five years. The event kicked off April 17 and wrapped April 21.

The Bluesfest lineup featured more than 200 performers, including headliners Jack Johnson (above), John Mayer and Dave Matthews Band, as well as Jeff Beck, Elvis Costello, John Butler Trio, Buddy Guy, Joss Stone, Erykah Badu, Passenger, Iron & Wine and India Arie. With attendance topping 20,000 each day during the long weekend, the final head count totaled 104,526 over five days.

Also known as the East Coast Blues & Roots Music Festival, the event debuted in 1990 and was first held at Byron Bay’s Arts Factory. The festival was staged at various locations in the area until it permanently moved to Tyagarah Tea Tree Farm in 2010. —Bob Allen

BY 1985, actor-comedian Eddie Murphy, then 24, was one of the world’s hottest stars, thanks to a string of blockbuster fi lms and his run on Saturday Night Live. Looking back, it seems unsurprising that Murphy sought to conquer music, too, with his debut single “Party All the Time,” written and produced by Rick James. But Murphy’s ambitions ruffl ed feathers in the music biz at the time. In the Dec. 21, 1985 Billboard, R&B columnist Nelson George wrote that there were “lots of derisive comments aimed at the project. Murphy’s high-pitched singing voice was the source of much amusement ... Many thought this single would be a major bomb. Yet, to look at the charts, it appears Mr. Murphy is having the last laugh.”

Indeed, “Party All the Time,” recorded at James’ Buff alo, N.Y., home, soared to No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100, where it peaked for three weeks beginning Dec. 28, 1985. Parent album How Could It Be, Murphy’s fi rst musical set, went gold, according to the RIAA.

“I was supposed to fl y in for one day, then a snowstorm hit and we got ... stuck in Buff alo for two weeks,” Murphy told Billboard about the song’s recording in 2013. “One of my best early memories is that time with Rick James. The whole way I record, I learned from Rick.”

George, however, had a diff erent take on the collaboration’s chart success, writing that it “has to give pause to any hardworking black musician ... James, one of MTV’s most vocal critics, has fi nally made it onto that network by appearing in Murphy’s video. The moral to this story? It helps to be a movie star to cross over.” —Gary Trust
