Music & Media's review of the year

2000 was the year the music industry took on board the measure of the poten-tial-and the menace-represented by the controversial technology for sharingdigital files online.

That technology, exemplified by file -sharing systems such as Napster,Gnutella and Freenet, has been at the centre of debate over the future of the

music industry and sparked seri-ous controversy during the year.

The importance of the technol-ogy has made it the first winnerof Music & Media's new Eventof the Year accolade. "This tech-nology offers to the music indus-try the most universal platformto distribute music in a digital

form-and thus will radically transform traditional business models," com-ments editor -in -chief Emmanuel Legrand.

As a framework for distributing music to the masses, file sharing unques-tionably works. Napster, the most user-friendly version, boasts a database ofmore than 38 million regular users of all ages. The US music industrylaunched legal proceedings against it for copyright infringement, but inNovember, Napster sealed a "strategic alliance" with Bertelsmann, whose goalis to transform the service into a subscription -based model.

UK government 'bottles'radio ownership questionby Jon Heasman

LONDON - The UK's commercialradio sector has been expressing itsdisappointment that the government'sWhite Paper on CommunicationsReform has ducked the burning ques-tion of how it intends to reform owner-ship regulations.

The much -anticipated documenthad been expected to herald a majorliberalisation or even the abolition ofownership restrictions (as desired bythe major radio groups), both withinthe radio sector itself and with regardto cross -media ownership.

Instead, the White Paper-pub-lished on December 12-states merelythat the government "will consider [inconsultation with the Radio Authori-ty] the possibility of devising a sim-pler, fairer regime for radio ownershipto replace the current radio [owner-

ship] points system, or revoking thescheme completely." It then invitesinterested parties to submit theirviews on ownership issues.

Paul Brown,chief executive ofthe UK commer-cial radio tradebody the CRCA,tells M&M that,although actualdetailed propos-als for legisla-tion had not nec-essarily beenexpected in theWhite Paper, "we were looking forsome kind of signal on which way thegovernment wanted to go [on owner-ship regulation]."

He continues, "We haven't got that,and-candidly--by this stage of this

Upfrontby Emmanuel Legrand, Music & Media editor -in -chief

This year was heaven for magazines such as Music &Media.

Just think about it: the EMI -Warner Music merg-er and its subsequent abandonment; the AOL-TimeWarner proposal; Vivendi marrying Seagram andCanal+; Emap and GWR reshaping their organisa-tions; NRJ unsuccessfully bidding for RMC; Viva'scontinued expansion; the problems at Sony Music; acomplete shake-up of BMG's management; Bertels-mann proposing to Napster, and so on...

Such was the level of news events that M&M hasdecided to introduce this year its first ever "personal-ity/event of the year" accolade, designed to highlightthe most ground -breaking person or event of the yearin the opinion of this publication.

As far as people were concerned, there were threeserious contenders: Jean-Marie Messier, Mario Montiand Thomas Middelhoff. Messier because in less thansix months, he transformed his utilities group into anentertainment giant; Monti because his competition

department at the European Commission set theagenda in the EMI -Warner merger procedure; andMiddelhoff because he relentlessly tried to redefinehis business, not least by controversially teaming upwith Napster.

But after carefully reviewing the events of the yearwe came to the conclusion the "personality/event of2000" is...a new technology.

It was definitely the issue of file -sharing servicesthat best defined a year which produced an amazingturn of events. The significance of file -sharing anddigital downloads cannot simply be confined to thelegal battle over MP3.com, or even to the Napstercase. These technologies offer to the music industry auniversal platform on which to distribute music in adigital form-and thus radically transform tradition-al business models (see page 7).

If 2000 ushered in the age ofdigital awareness (and the year ofthe legal battle), it also opened thedoor to brand new legitimate busi-ness models which will almost cer-tainly come to fruition in the com-ing years. File -sharing representsthe way to the future-or at leastone of the ways.

Sweden to stage its own radio awardsby Johan Lindstrom

STOCKHOLM - The Swedish radioindustry is getting its very ownawards ceremony from next year.

Stora Radiopriset ,will takeplace in March 2001 and is thebrainchild of Swedish professionalradio body Radioakademin, whichhas teamed up for the event withmedia company Heart of Stock-holm. Stora Radiopriset will bebacked financially by broadcastingcompanies and trade organisationsin Sweden.

"We have had a good responsefrom all parts of the industry andwe're confident that we have theirsupport," says Radioakademin'schairman Sven Lundberg.

The awards ceremony will beheld on March 8 at Stockholm'scultural centre in Nalen, and will

have state-owned communicationscompany Teracom as its mainsponsor. A 45 -strong panel ofjudges will choose the winners of14 categories.

The categories include Best Pub-lic Service Station, Best Commer-cial Station, Best Community Sta-tion, Best Trailer/On-Air Promotionand Best Report/Documentary.There will also be further awards,divided into public, commercial andcommunity station categories, torecognise Personality Of The Year,

Best Music/Entertainment Showand Staff Member Of The Year.

"It has been important for us tofind the right categories to cover allparts of the radio business," saysRadioakademin vice chairmaninga Ramsten, "but I think we'vesucceeded." The board of the acad-emy will also award two specialprizes on the night.

Members of the judging panelfor the awards will include OveJoanson, former CEO of publicbroadcaster SR, and HC Ejemyr,former deputy CEO at the MTGmedia group, as well as the editorsof media magazines Vision andResume.

Taking the UK's Radio Academyas its prototype, the Radioakademinwas created in1992 with the aim ofcreating an independent forum forthe radio industry.

Nordic Web Radio starts life in Norwayby Kai R. Lofthus

OSLO - The Norwegian musicindustry is uncertain whether towelcome the November 29 debut ofNordic Web Radio (NWR), a new50/50 joint venture from NorwegianHot AC network Radio 1 and Inter-net portal Scandinavia Online.

The initial roll -out of five Inter-net -only channels on NWR's Min-Radio.com ("MyRadio.com") site,which also will serve as the domainname for yet -to -be -launched opera-tions in Sweden and Denmark,comprises B-2000 ("Today's SuperHit Music"); Boogie75 ("Soul,Funk, and Disco"); Glasnost84("New Wave and Pop"); Luna Zoo("Urban and Club"); and MustangAvenue ("Light Music and AC").

The FM feeds of the Clear Chan-nel Communications/Norsk Aller-owned Radio 1 and its affiliate sta-

tions The Voice (CHFt/Dance) andMerodi FM (soft AC) are also avail-able at MinRadio.com, along withlinks to the web streams of a num-ber of foreign music stations.

M&M understands that talkslast week between local labels'body IFPI Norway and NWR tostrike an agreement on the latter'sroyalty payments broke down, andthat record labels are now negoti-ating individually with NWR. Inthe absence of an established busi-

ness model, this is similar to thescenario in many other countrieswhere Internet -only radio is seek-ing to operate legitimately. Norwe-gian labels contacted by M&Mwere not prepared to make anypublic comment on the matter.

"We're interested in having thesame kind of dialogue with recordcompanies as traditional stationshave," says Leif Morten Synnevag,creative and programme directorat NWR. "We've contacted all rele-vant organisations and collectingsocieties and informed them aboutour activities."

The NWR site will rely on rev-enues from audio and banner adver-tising, and there will also be a facil-ity for users to stream specific songson demand and to buy these songson CD via SOL's price -comparisonshopping channel, which has linksto leading on-line retailers.

Dutch Edisons, Harp awards to mergeby Robbert Tilli

HILVERSUM - Holland'stwo main "official" musicindustry awards, the HarpsGala and the Edison MusicAwards, are to combine asThe Dutch Music Festival.

Industry insiders suggestthat the merger is anattempt to counter the grow-ing popularity of the TMFAwards, organised annuallyby Dutch music TV channelThe Music Factory.

The first edition of thenew event will be staged onFebruary 27 next year in theAmsterdam -based venueConvention Factory. Bothawards will continue to existas separate entities but will

now be presented at thesame location on the sameday. Dutch public broadcast-er TROS will be televisingboth awards for transmis-sion on two separate days,the Edisons on March 1 andthe Harps Gala on March 8.

Mercury Holland man-aging director Kees vanWeijen, chairman of theEdison Music Awards, says:"It will be a unique momentto present the two mostimportant music prizesunder the one umbrella ofthe Dutch Music Festival."

Jerney Kaagman, recent-ly appointed managingdirector at Conamus, thefoundation which promotesDutch music at home and

abroad, adds: "It's a bigchallenge for both organisa-tions to organise one bigawards event. But it fitswith the need for strongercollaboration within theDutch industry"

The Edison MusicAwards, backed by theDutch labels, are judged onartistic merit rather thansales. The Conamus-organ-ised Harps Gala featuresthe Golden Harp prize,which acknowledges theentire body of works of anartist, and the Silver Harpwhich celebrates new tal-ent. There is also the annu-al Export Prize for theDutch artist who has soldthe most internationally.

French act LudovicNavarre (a.k.a St.Germain)was recently presentedwith a platinum disc in Bel-gium, in recognition of50,000 sales in that territo-ry of his Blue Note albumTourist.

YEAR IN REVIEW

The power of file sharing:M&M's event of the year

for swapping song files online -and the furore it has causedthroughout the music indus-try-make it the clear winner of

M&M's first Event of the Year for 2000.The most well-known file -sharing

systems, such as Napster, Gnutella,Freenet et al (see panel, far right),might be the scourge of the legitimatemusic industry, but they have certain-ly caught our attention.

Basically, the format allows con-sumers to upload musical recordingson to the Net. Once online, anotheruser is free to roam the Internet land-scape to download the tracks-with-out paying a cent.

As a framework for distributingmusic to the masses, file sharingworks. Napster, the most user-friendlyversion, boasts a database of more than38 million regular users of all ages. Theworld's biggest commercial online ser-vice provider, America Online, has nomore than 25 million subscribers.

This wide appeal was not lost onBertelsmann's chairman ThomasMiddelhoff who sealed a "strategicallaince" with Napster's founderShawn Fanning. Middelhoff is plan-ning to transform Napster into a sub-scription -driven model.

"Napster was certainly the wake-up call the record labels needed,"declared US -based Darryl Franklin,VP business and legal affairs atInterscope/A&M/Geffen during theB2B Music Online 2000 conference inLondon on November 30.

However, it's the abuse of file -shar-ing technology that detractors arebattling against. According toForrester Research, file -swappingsoftware will contribute substantiallyto the $3 billion the music industryexpects to lose to piracy by 2005.

The regular exchange of musicalworks for nothing is a painful thorn inthe side of today's $40 billion interna-tional music business. But the majorrecording labels and industry organi-sations refuse to let the wound to fes-ter and spent this year hitting backwith a vengeance.

As Jay Berman, chairman and CEOof industry trade group IFPI, pointsout: "It's easy to give something away[for free]. But can you develop a legiti-mate business model from it?" On theindustry's tough response to Napsterand MP3.com, IFPI's Berman makesno apologies. "I believe that the com-panies did exactly what they needed todo, which was to try to define why,within the current legal structure inthe United States, their rights werebeing violated," he explains. "The onlything that one can say in retrospect isthat maybe the companies should havebeen there earlier with their own offer-ings, but that's a very difficult thing-it's always more difficult to create alegitimate business model, than anillegitimate business model."

IFPI is currently developing sys-

The contentious issue of file -sharing has undoubtedly,been the main talking point for the music industry in 2000and is nominated by Music & Media as the Event of theYear. Juliana Koranteng looks at how the music industryhas responded to the advent of this new technology.

tems designed to search, track downand remove works illegally distrib-uted via the Web. There's a "need tocontinue responding to the growth ofpiracy in physical formats and devel-op tools to respond to Internet piracy,"Berman adds.

Yet, eliminate its abuse and file -sharing is considered a winning salesformat. Kevin Conroy, chief marketingofficer and president, new technologyfor BMG Entertainment, whose sistercompany BeCG (Bertelsmann e -

Commerce Group) brokered thealliance with Napster, explains why.

"File sharing offers consumersease of use, a tremendous selection ofmusic from around the world and cre-ates a community for music fans," hesays. "These characteristics make filesharing a potentially important mar-keting and sales tool."

The file -sharing phenomenon isencouraging the development of sys-

tems that aim to track down musicbeing exchanged illegitimately online.They include UK -based SoundWrapand US -based CantaMetrix. Evenonline music service emusic.com hascreated a search engine that locatesits licensed songs when Napster usersexchange them without permission. Inthe New Year, UK -based Wippit.com islaunching what it describes as asecure system that enables users toswap only music files labelled withelectronic identification tags.

Berman concludes: "I think that sofar, from the perspective of the reso-lution of the MP3.com case, the proofis in the pudding and I'm confidentthat it is exactly the way the Napsterthing will turn out. We will get afavorable court decision indicatingour rights and Napster will have tofigure how to create a legitimate busi-ness model out of an idea that obvi-ously has popular appeal."

Key HappeningsThe lawsuitThe Recording Industry Associationof America (RIAA) and its members,including the five majors, suedNapster for copyright infringementlast December. Napster lost the casedespite arguing that its software didnot make unauthorised copies sincethe system only allowed consumersto exchange what they already had.The result of Napster's appeal isstill pending. In November, Napstergrabbed the headlines again afterforming an alliance with BeCG, thee -commerce unit of media giantBertelsmann. Bertelsmann agreedto drop its part of the lawsuit andencourage the other majors to do so.

The embarrassmentThe embarrassment set in whenAmerica Online (AOL) acquired

Nullsoft, a software company whosefounders also invented Gnutella.The planned merger with TimeWarner will make AOL the owner ofWarner Music Group, which hap-pens to be suing Napster. WhileAOL has asked Gnutella's founderto stop its development, thePandora's Box has already beenopened with a host of Gnutella off-shoots already in cyberspace.

The death blowScour Inc. has been forced to file forbankruptcy. Both Listen.com-which happens to be funded by thefive majors-and Liquid Audio havemade bids in the region of $5m forScour's assets. The ability to swapfull-length movies via the Scour'ssoftware unleashed the wrath ofboth the RIAA and the MPAA.

The share fileNapster(www. napstencom)Unveiled May 1999 and inventedby teenage student ShawnFanning, Napster is the mother ofall music file -sharing systems. Keyto its success is a central serverthat allows users to inform eachother about the music they own orwant. The existence of a centralserver also means the anti -piracypolice can shut it down.

Gnutella(www.gnutella.wego.com)Introduced last year and developedby Justin Frankel and Tom Pepper,who founded US software special-ist Nullsoft and invented Winampdigital music player. Technicallymore difficult to use than Napster,because there is no central serverto connect searchers of music filesto other Gnutella users. This alsomakes it difficult for anti -piracypolice to control or shut down.Gnutella's open system alsoallowed any Internet geek to cre-ate his or her own improved ver-sion. So we now have, among oth-ers, Newtella, N-tella, Bodetella,Gnotella and GNUqnutella.

Aimster(www.aimster.com)Compared with Napster andGnutella, Aimster is a closed sys-tem that allows mainly subscribersto AOL, AOL-Time Warner's portalservice, to share music files. Butthe need to be an AOL "buddy"(subscriber) means you needexplicit permission of another AOLuser before you can access therequested music file.

Freenet(www.freenet.sourceforge.net)Although still being developed,Freenet has the potential to be agreater threat to the music indus-try than Napster. Founder IanClarke, currently known as the"data anarchist." But could soon bedubbed the data antichristbecause, unlike Gnutella, Freenetguarantees complete anonymity.

Scour Exchange(www.scour.com)Launched in December 1997, thisis very similar to Napster. Butwhile the latter focuses on musicfiles, Scour enables users toexchange any type of media files,including movies.

YEAR IN REVIEW

Santana and Britney dominate sales chartsArtists both young-notably the unstoppableBritney Spears-and old-in the form of veteranCarlos Santana-foundsuccess in this year'scharts, when variety wasthe watchword, as SidStavenes Dove reports.

t was a Smooth, almost Supernaturalsuccess for Santana this year. Theveteran guitarist reached the peak ofhis long career with the Clive DavisA&R'ed album, released in 1999, but

which made the bulk of its impact in2000.

Supernatural (Arista/BMG) has sofar been certified five times platinumin Europe and is this year's top albumin Music & Media's year-end chart(see opposite page). It also containedthree singles (Maria Maria, Smoothand Corazon Espinado) which wereboth sales and airplay successes.Santana also tops the Artist Album-with three chart placings-and MaleArtist categories. He would also sure-ly win the "come back of the year" cat-egory, if it existed.

Aside from Santana's impressivetrack record, the year's charts weredominated by a combination of estab-lished and new artists, new sounds andmore conventional pop, continentalEuropean and Anglo-American acts.

The pop genre showed artists itsstrength with a massive sweep of thecharts not only by the Jive family ofartists (Britney Spears, BackstreetBoys, N'Sync), but also by the likes ofWestlife (RCA), Ronan Keating(Polydor) and even the Corrs (143/Lava/Atlantic), who confirmed theirinternational appeal with In Blue win-ning the Group Albums category (seepage 10). They had four albums in thecharts by over the curse of the year.

Pop phenomenonThe pop phenomenon of the year wasundoubtedly Britney Spears, who hasindeed done it again, with the year'snumber three album, number sevensingle and the winner in three cate-gories-Female Artist Albums,Female Artist Singles, and Top ArtistSingles (with no less than five titlescharting throughout the year).

Just like the previous year, therewere quite a few invitations to MoveYour Body in this year's Europeanrepertoire. Aside from the aforemen-tioned track by Italy's Eiffel 65,Mousse T and Welsh veteran TomJones got the best of the dancefloorwith Sex Bomb (Gut/V2).

Significantly, the much covetedposition at the top of the year-endSingles chart is occupied by aEuropean act, Finnish sensationBomfunk MC's, with Freestyler(Epidrome/Sony). The band also topthe Group Singles and ContinentalArtists Singles categories. OtherEuropean winners include France'sModjo, UK's Sonique and the mighty

Vengaboys from the Netherlands.Anastacia also made an impressive

European debut this year, with I'mOutta Love (Epic), M&M's numberfour single of 2000. Sony may havehad a tough year, yet they managed tobreak two significant new acts inBomfunk MC's and Anastacia.

British guitar rock is representedby Travis, Coldplay, Radiohead andOasis. The new wave of British acts,including Craig David and DavidGray, is starting to build following intheir homeland and abroad.

Overall, it was a year without amajor seller but with consistent salesfrom established acts such as Bon Jovi,Whitney Houston, Red Hot ChiliPeppers, Madonna, and Moby, whoenjoyed one of the most outstandingsuccesses of the year with Play (Mute). M&M's year-end charts are com-piled by adding the number of points

accumulated by each title (album orsingle) during its charting life in theEurochart Hot 100 Singles and theEuropean Top 100 Albums charts.This system, which gives a snapshotof the year, tends to favour albumswith a long shelflife such as the RedHot Chili Peppers' Californication,rather than albums with very strongsales in a small period of time. Thisexplains why The Beatles' 1 is onlyplaced at number 46, as it only had afour -week chart presence when thecompilation was calculated.

Pop is flavour of the year on European radiopop, in its various different guises, was theindisputable flavour of the first year of the ' newmillennium on European radio.

Whereas last year's top of the pops was the Cheiron-produced Britney Spears' smash hit Baby One More Time(Jive), this year's of pop are The Corrs.The Irish group are now firmly established on radio, andBreathless spent an incredible 23 weeks in the chart-five of which at number one-before it was outplayed byIrresistible (both 143/Lava/Atlantic).

Madonna has grazed on the radiochart with permanent presence for threeyears. In 2000, American Pie(Maverick/Warner) spent 23 weeks inMOTs European Radio Top 50 airplaychart and came second in M&M year-endairplay compilation chart (see page 13).The track managed five non-consecutiveweeks in the number one spot, regularlyswapping positions with All Saints' PureShores (London), the fifth most playedtrack on European radio this year.Madonna's Music has so far spent 19weeks in the radio top 50, whereas Don'tTell Me (both Maverick/Warner) is thecurrent number one.

As in 1999, almost half of the songsin the chart come from US signings.Continued output from acts such asBritney Spears, Backstreet Boys andBon Jovi combined with the return ofSantana-who featured heavily onplaylists with the hits Maria Maria,Smooth and Corazon Espinado (allArista)-and fellow Latinos RickyMartin and Enrique Iglesias, keep thepercentage high. At the other end ofthe spectrum, the likes of Eros Ramazzotti's Fuoco NelFuoco (Ariola) at 82 and Paola & Chiara's Vamos ABailar at 91, both enjoyed support from radio acrossEurope despite being sung in Italian.

2000 was also the year that brought UK garage toEurope. Craig David's 7 Days (Telstar) is still in thechart after 18 weeks, and Artful Dodger's radio hits Re -Rewind and Movin' Too Fast have now been followed byPlease Don't Ttirn Me On (all ffrr) into the radio top 50.Accessible dance continued to be a radio favourite duringthe year, thanks to continental European successes suchas Modjo's Lady (Hear Me Tonight) (Barclay), Spiller's

Groovejet (Positiva) and Fragma's Toca's Miracle (GangGo Music) bouncing from the Ibiza summer season intothe dark European autumn.

This year also surprisingly brought a wave of Finnishmusic to the airwaves. Bomfunk MC's Freestyler(Epidrome) spent 16 weeks in the radio top 50, and is alsothe fourth most played single in the year-end BorderBreakers chart. Darude's Sandstorm (16 Inch Records)was a huge summer hit and HIM's Join Me (RCA) is atnumber 11 in the Border Breakers chart.

Border Breakers are singles by con-tinental European signings which scoreairplay on stations outside their coun-try of signing, so this chart is directlyrelated to a record's ability to cross bor-ders and appeal to an audience beyondits home market.

Eagle -Eye Cherry tops the chartwith Are You Still Having Fun?, whichis also the 20th most played record onEuropean radio in 2000. The SwedishNew Yorker also topped the BorderBreakers chart in 1998, with SaveTonight (both Diesel).

Last year Sweden had 29 tracks inthe year-end Border Breakers chart,but this time it only has 16. But forevery loser there must be a winner, andthat accolade goes to Germany, thebiggest country with 21 entries. A -ha,French Affair, ATC, Sasha andReamonn all contribute to total.Meanwhile Dutch dance acts had theirusual impact, with Vengaboys, AliceDeejay and Rednex leading the way.

France had a remarkable year withno less than 14 titles charting in the

Top 100 Border Breakers, most of them from the elec-tronica genre, including Modjo's No.1 European hit Lady(Hear Me Tonight) (Barclay), Daft Punk's One More Time(Virgin), Superfunk's Lucky Star (Labels/Virgin) and BobSinclar's I Feel For You (Yellow/East West).

Norway's three tracks in last year's year-end chartamazingly all reappear in 2000: Where I'm Headed,Unforgivable Sinner, and Sitting Down Here, all byVirgin's Lene Marlin, are all still spinning on Europeanradio stations, with the latter just sneaking into theyear-end radio top 100.

A year of quality AND quantityMake no mistake, 2000 hasproved a bumper year forcontemporary music.Quality and quantityhave been evident in

equal measure and even combined onalbums by the likes of U2 (UniversalIsland) and Eminem (Interscope).

Every year spawns new move-ments and 2000 was no different. Inthe UK, garage evolved from theunderground onto national airwavesand into the charts under the expertguidance of Artful Dodger (FFRR) andpin-up singer Craig David (Wildstar).Across the Channel, French electroni-ca found itself at the top of theEurochart Hot 100 thanks to Modjo(Barlcay/Universal) and Daft Punk(Virgin). Meanwhile St Germain(Blue Note/EMI) came up with one ofthe albums of the year and Madonnaendorsed the genre by hiring the pro-duction talents of Mirwais (Naive) forMusic (Maverick/Warner Bros).

I Music review 2000

International Heavyweights

Eminem(Interscope)His name is...we know already! MarshallMathers, aka Slim Shady, aka Eminem,has managed to achieve what few US rap-pers have done before and that's crackEurope (M&M, issue 30). The break-through came with The Real Slim Shadysingle which followed the million -sellingMy Name Is and went top 10 in eight of themajor territories on the Continent andnumber one on the Eurochart Hot 100.The single was taken from The MarshallMathers LP which itself went to numberone on the European Top 100 Albumschart and spawned a potential Christmasnumber one single in the UK with Stan.Interscope puts the rapper's phenomenalcrossover appeal down to his colourfulvideos and rebellious lyrics, but the fact heis also the first credible white rapper has,ironically, played a part in gaining accep-tance on the Continent.

Bon Jovi(Mercury/Universal)Big hair, big choruses, big sales. Not a lot'schanged in Bon Jovi's world since theyfirst hit the big time back in the '80s in aflash of tight trousers and hairspray. Thisyear they celebrated 17 years in the busi-ness and worldwide sales of 80 millionwith the release of Crush, UniversalMusic's biggest release since its mergerwith PolyGram and the band's first albumfor five years (M&M, issue 23). It wentstraight in at number one in the EuropeanTop 100 Albums having topped six majorterritories in its first week, and has soldthree million copies to date in Europealone.

Moby(Mute)Although released in 1999, Play byAmerican dance maestro Moby deservesrecognition in this year-end issue forstorming back into the European Top 100Albums at number 3 in May, 2000 (M&M,issue 20). Impressively it remains in thetop 30 having gone three times platinumand spending over 50 weeks on the chart.

2000 was a millennium year for many acts. AdamHoworth looks back without anger while M&M writersreview the performances of some of the year's mostremarkable successes.

Gently bubbling under the surfaceis the alternative country -folk frater-nity-featuring Badly Drawn Boy(Twisted Nerve/XL), Grandaddy (V2),Elliott Smith (Dreamworks) andLowgold (Nude)-who should shapethe landscape for guitar music overthe next 12 months. Over in the US,sportz metal of the variety peddled byLimp Bizkit (Interscope), Slipknot(Roadrunner) and the BloodhoundGang (Geffen) was not only makingthe transition to European radio butfilling arenas at the same time. Thebiggest US export east though wasrap in the form of the prodigalEminem, who became one of the firstartist in history to take the genre tothe top of the charts across Europe.

Outside of the US, Germany has provedthe biggest market for Moby, second tothe UK, but every major European terri-tory has come on board for the artist andhis independent English label Mute.Moby's skill is in blurring the boundariesbetween dance, rock and pop while pro-ducing an end product that is equally asappealing to each market. A string of big -selling, atmospheric singles-Why DoesMy Heart Feel So Bad?, Porcelain andNatural Blues-and a triumphant liveappearance at Privilege in Ibiza have con-firmed Moby as a suitably eclectic star fora new century.

U2(Island)Not only do they have arguably the bestmanager in the business, U2 this year ben-efitted from being on the biggest label inthe world behind the launch of their newalbum All That You Can't Leave Behind(M&M, issue 48). The result saw the bandsell five million copies in less than twoweeks and go to number one in 31 differ-ent countries-an achievement their man-ager Paul McGuinness told M&M heranked as the pinnacle of his career todate. Still working the first single off thealbum, Beautiful Day, the band will start aworld tour in the US next March, in a cam-paign their manager believes should spana further five singles, taking them throughto Christmas 2001.

Radiohead(Parlophone)The follow-up to OK Computer-regardedby many in the industry as one of thegreatest albums of all time-was alwaysgoing to be a stiff challenge. Radiohead'sresponse was to change their formula andadopt an avant garde, piece meal approachto constructing music that left criticsdivided. Their supporters saw Kid A as atriumph of invention over staid guitarmusic while their detractors regarded thealbum as an easy cop out by a band thathad run out of melodic ideas. Consumerson the other hand bought the record in

The year in pictures (from top):Eminem, Moby, Limp Bizkit,Britney Spears, Madonna.'

Winners in the "where did theycome from?" category includeAmerican singer Anastacia with I'mOutta Love (Epic), UK guitar slingersColdplay with Parachutes(Parlophone), and Finnish actsDarude with dance classic and debutsingle Sandstorm (16 Inch Record)and chart toppers Bomfunk MC's(Epidrome/Sony).

2000 was also the year of the bigcomeback. Bon Jovi returned afterfive years and went straight to the topof the European charts with Crush(Mercury). U2 did the same with AllThat You Can't Leave Behind, whileRadiohead exceeded all expectationswith their eagerly -awaited fourthalbum Kid A (Parlophone) which not

only dominated European charts butalso took the top spot in the US.

Other big hitters who maintainedtheir profiles as truly global acts wereMadonna, The Corrs with In Blue(143/Lava/Atlantic), and the ubiqui-tous Britney Spears who replicatedthe success of Baby One More Time byrecording a similar sounding follow-up in the form of Oops!...I Did ItAgain (Jive). In a year when everyonefrom Poptones CEO Alan McGee toGeorge Michael and Bono werebemoaning the seeming omnipotenceof pure pop, two of its finest examplesRobbie Williams and Kylie Minoguehit the top of the charts both indepen-dently and together on the duet Kids(Chrysalis).

All in all quite a year and, with mil-lions upon millions of units shifted andstyles as diverse as St Germain andAlejandro Sanz (WEA) enjoying com-mercial currency, popular music movesinto 2001 with a clean bill of health.

droves, despite there being no singlerelease, taking it high into the top 10 in 14of the key European markets in its firstweek of release and straight in at numbertwo in the European Top 100 Albums.Famously, Kid A also took the act fromOxford in England to the top of theBillboard 200 in the US.

Limp Bizkit(Interscope)On the back of six million sales in the US,Limp Bizkit dented Europe with their sec-ond album Significant Other. Initially lin-gering in the lower reaches of theEuropean Top 100 Albums chart, therecord shot up to number seven in Julyafter both radio and TV picked up on thesingle Take A Look Around which doubledas the soundtrack to Hollywood block-buster Mission Impossible 2. The Bizkit'sthird album Chocolate Starfish And TheHotdog Flavored Water peaked at numberone in M&M's album chart in November.Current single My Generation went on salein October and the forthcoming Rollin' willbe in the shops in January.

Britney Spears(Jive)Teen star Britney has shown this year thatshe is far from a one -hit wonder with hersecond album Oops!...I Did It Again mir-roring the success of Baby One More Time.The title track went to number one in theEurochart Hot 100 prior to the albumlaunch in Paris in May (M&M, issue 21),then the album itself took the top spot asdid follow-up single Lucky. Current singleStronger is enjoying enormous supportfrom radio. Britney's European tour thisautumn also ensured the singer was neverfar from the limelight in Europe for long.Britney even has a Christmas present forher followers-she features on the compi-lation album Platinum Christmas with thetrack My Only Wish (This Year).

Madonna(Maverick/Warner Bros)After her successful collaboration with UKdance producer William Orbit, Madonnarepeated the formula with French elec-tronica whizzkid Mirwais. The result wasMusic which, released in September, had

sold over 12 million units worldwide attime of press. The video to accompany thesingle Music was on heavy rotation onMTV and on domestic TV music channels.Her live performances at the MTV EuropeAwards in Stockholm and, triumphantly,at the Brixton Academy in London weretwo masterly crafted marketing strokesthat helped push the album back into thehigher levels of the charts. It capped ayear when her cover of Don MacLean'sAmerican Pie also reached number one inthe Eurochart Hot 100 Singles, despite aless than rapturous reception from critics,but with strong support from Europeanradio.

European Champions

Anastacia(Epic)Coupling an authentic '70s R&B vocal per-formance with an MTV friendly face,Anastacia Newkirk took Europe by stormthis summer (M&M, issue 44). Under thedirection of Epic executive VP DaveMassey in New York, Anastacia dominatedthe Eurochart Hot 100 Singles with debutrelease I'm Outta Love and sold over onemillion units of her album Not That Kindon the Continent within its first threemonths of release. She also topped the sin-gles charts in Australia and dented the UKtop ten in September. Epic's Europeanoffices put her success down to a majornew talent singing a great song and-importantly-promotional access to theartist. If Epic can replicate Anastacia'sEuropean success in her domestic marketin 2001, the likes of Britney and Madonnawill have new a rival.

Coldplay

M&M first alerted its readership to thetalents of young London four -pieceColdplay back in the Spring New TalentSpotlight (M&M, issue 15). At the timethey had released just two singles TheBlue Room EP and Bigger Stronger, bothof which displayed an effortless gift with amelody combined with some deft guitarwork, without troubling the chart watch-ers too much. After some triumphant festi-val appearances, Coldplay topped the UKsingles and album charts with Yellow andParachutes respectively, the latter peakingat number 12 on the European Top 100Albums. In the space of 12 months theband have gone from being unknown toone of the largest live draws in the UK. IfEMI can keep the momentum up with therelease of the act's sophomore album,Coldplay can join Travis in carrying theflag for British guitar music.

Badly Drawn Boy(Twisted Nerve/XL)Another indie act that's gone from obscuri-ty to widespread acclaim in 2000 isManchester's Damon Gough, aka BadlyDrawn Boy (MM, issues 32 & 39).Ploughing similar acoustic, country tingedfurrows as Elliott Smith, BDB crossedover on the back of his Mercury MusicPrize-winning debut album The Hour OfBewilderbeast. Renowned for the oftenextended length of his live shows, theBadly Drawn Boy album offers similargood value for money featuring 18 trackswith a distinctive, uncontrived feel tothem. Despite the oxygen of publicity theMercury Music Prize generates, the wool-ly -hatted Gough has not seen huge salesfor The Hour Of Bewilderbeast. However,the feeling at the Beggars Banquet -ownedXL label is these are still early days for anartist whose songwriting is already beingcompared to the likes of Beck and JohnLennon.

Eros Ramazzotti(BMG)Eros Ramazzotti has succeeded wheremany Italian artists have failed-to gainpan-European success (M&M, issue 45).This year's album Stilelibero (BMG/Ariola)has consolidated his popularity, withEuropean sales topping the 1.7 millionmark. the album has maintained a con-stant top five position in M&M's EuropeanTop 100 Albums since its release at the endof October and all of this a full three yearsafter his last studio album, ErosRamazzotti. The Roman artist has workedhard to achieve this level of popularity,having recorded his first single fully 18years ago. Un Angelo Non E, his new sin-gle, has already gone to radio and gets itsofficial release on January 22.

UK Garage2000 was the year that garage emergedfrom the UK underground of clubs andpirate radio to achieve chart success(M&M, issue 17). The ball began rollinglast year with The Artful Dodger's Re -Rewind (Public Demand) and gainedmomentum this year with hits such asSweet Female Attitude's Flowers (WEA),MJ Cole's Crazy Love (Talkin' Loud) andThe Architects' Body Groove (Go!Beat), allof which featured strongly in M&M'sEurochart. BBC CHR Radio 1 fuelled thecraze with its Sunday morning show pre-sented by top garage producers The DreemTeam. With the recent release in the US ofSFA's Flowers and a garage compilation, itwill be interesting to see whether this UKphenomenon can achieve global success.

Gigi D'Agostino(BXR/Media Records)This year the name Gigi D'Agostino wentfrom being familiar in Italy to well-knownacross Europe. Early tracks by the south-ern Italian dance artist, signed to indielabel BXR/Media Records, made littleimpression outside his native country. Butin March Bla Bla Bla entered the M&MEurochart Hot 100 Singles, followed inApril by The Riddle, a dance reworking ofthe Nik Kershaw track from the 1980s.Both tracks are taken from D'Agostino'ssecond album L'Amour Toujours, whichhas spent over 30 weeks on the M&MEuropean Top 100 Albums chart. The mostrecent single from the album, La Passion,is also doing well. Media Records sub -labelBXR is hoping its "The Sound Of TheFuture" slogan will continue to hold true.

The Finnish waveDarude (16 Inch Records) andBomfunk MC's (Epidrome/Sony)Along with The Bomfunk MC's, Darude,aka Ville Vertanen, has put Finland firmlyon the pop music map. His first singleSandstorm (16 Inch Records) gained mas-sive dancefloor status in his home countryand went straight in to the Eurochart Hot100 Singles at number 8 back in June.Following a distribution deal with UK'sNeo Records it became the first everFinnish record to enter the top five in theUK singles chart, when it debuted at num-ber 3. Like the Bomfunk MC's' Freestyler,M&M's Top single of the year, Sandstormis a slow -burner and will have been on theM&M chart for 26 weeks by the end of theyear. The latest single Feel The Beat hasbuilt on that success. The album BeforeThe Storm was released in September inFinland, where it has already gone plat-inum, and is set for release in the UK inthe Spring.

The year in pictures (from top):Anatacia, Coldplay, Badly DrawnBoy, Eros Ramazzotti, BomfunkMC's, Darude, Kylie, RobbieWilliams.

French ElectronicaMusic sounds better when it's from Francethese days...Madonna-an expert in latch-ing on to the music vibe of the times-hadalready sent the right signal by teamingwith composer/producer Mirwais on Music.But with two number one hit singles atopof the Eurochart Hot 100 this year, Modjo'sLady (Barclay/Universal) and Daft Punk'sOne More Time (Labels/Virgin), Frenchelectronica has made an impressive returnto form and proven that the 1997-98 wavespearheaded by Daft Punk and Air was nota fad (M&M, issue 47). The success of the"French touch" is not limited to the afore-mentioned. Names as Bob Sinclar (Yellow/Eastwest), Benjamin Diamond (Epic),Etienne de Crecy (V2), Mirwais (Naive),Mellow (Atmospheriques), Saint Germain(Blue Note/EMI), veteran DJ LaurentGamier (F Comm.) and many others havecarried the flag outside their native coun-try during 2000. 2001 is likely to fuel thecurrent tidal wave, with albums due fromAir, Daft Punk and Modjo, among others,set to groove the world.

The Corrs(143/Lava/Atlantic)The Corrs rapidly became favourites ofEuropean programmers when their secondalbum Talk On Corners, which includedthe hits So Young and What Can I Do, wasreissued in 1998. With their third albumIn Blue released this year, the Irish sib-lings reinforced this relationship with astring of hit singles including Radio,Irresistible and Breathless, and estab-lished a virtual residency on Europe's air-waves (M&M, issue 31). The album itselfwent to number one in the European Top100 Albums chart. 2000 also saw the bandassume Jean -Michel Jarre's role as IFPIartist spokespersons.

UK PopstersRobbie (Chrysalis), Kylie(Parlophone) and Sonique(Serious)Kylie Minogue's first album forParlophone, Light Years, came out inSeptember and made it to number 10 inEurope, following the success of come -backsingles Spinning Around and On A NightLike This (M&M, issue 29). The Aussie'sduet with Robbie Williams on Kids fromhis third album Sing When You're Winning(M&M, issue 41) also hit the charts thisautumn, peaking at 11 in the Europeansingles chart. Williams' Rock DJ is stillspinning on European radio and music TVstations and his album is close to two mil-lion sales in Europe. Fellow Brit Sonique'sstory started in the US last year when sin-gle It Feels So Good was picked up by USradio and became a hit. Soon enoughEurope became aware of the single andembraced it followed by Ibiza anthem Skyand the remake of jazz classic Put A SpellOn You. Her debut album Hear Me Crypeaked at 29 (M&M, issue 24).

Alejandro Sanz(WEA/Warner Music)The biggest star in Spain, Alejandro Sanzreceived an IFPI Platinum Award inBrussels this year for his 1997 album Maswhich has sold more than two millionalbums in Europe. Sanz's current albumEl Alma Al Aire was released worldwideon September 26, 2000 and sold one mil-lion copies within a week of release (M&M,issues 41 & 43) and has stayed in the top40 of the European Top 100 Albums eversince. The single Quisiera Ser as well asnumerous album tracks have filled theSpanish airwaves in 2000.

YEAR IN REVIEW

A year of all shapes and sizesEMI/Warner +AOL/Time WarnerOn paper it made sense to marryWarner and EMI and create thebiggest music group in the world. Butthe promoters of the project neveranticipated that it would receive somany negative reactions-not leastfrom European regulators-and thatten months after trumpeting the deal,the parties had to face the humilia-tion of having to "withdraw" their pro-posal, such was the level of reserva-tion for the plans. That a few people,like Frenchman Patrick Zelnik orindies' organisation Impala, did a lotto derail the course of the actionwould come as no consolation. In theend, Time Warner decided to sacrificethe EMI deal to secure a much morestrategic-and financially attrac-tive-deal with AOL. The AOL/TimeWarner entity prefigures the compa-nies of the 21st Century, combiningcontent and distribution platforms.

The importance ofBrussels confirmedOn a number of occasions, Europeanpolicy -makers and regulators madedecisions which had a direct effect onthe music industry, confirming thestatus of Brussels as the real centre ofpower in the European Union.However, one of the ways it expressedthis power came as one of the biggestdisappointments of the year for themusic industry, because despiteadvances there was still no vote of aCopyright Directive which hasalready been four years in the mak-ing. A final text should eventually bevoted on by the Parliament at thebeginning of 2001. Also in the worksis the Directive on e -commerce which,at some levels, remains unsatisfyingin terms of protection for rights own-ers, while in December Brusselsunveiled the first draft of a Directiveon piracy, which will introduce protec-tion for right owners and penalties foroffenders.

But it's in the area of competitionthat the sword of the EC has beenfelt, as Mario Monti's department hasbeen scrutinising the proposed merg-ers of EMI/Warner Music, AOL/TimeWarner and Vivendi/Seagram/Canal+. While the latter two wentthrough the process with just a fewundertakings, the former was with-drawn when it appeared thatEuropean regulators would veto theproposal.

NRJ backs out of RMC dealThe acquisition of the financiallytroubled full -service station RMC wasbound to transform NRJ Group intothe indisputable leading radio compa-ny in France, but things turned outdifferently. Because of a new census,the parameters used to monitor own-ership had changed and would havepushed NRJ Group's properties wayover the ceiling of 150 million poten-tial listeners if the acquisition hadgone through. When it was clear thatno matter how they looked at it, they

Limited to the US in the firststage, the experience should extend toEurope in 2001. In addition, andreflecting the growing bridge betweenthe old and the new economy, content

Whether the latter is agood deal for all parties still remainsto be seen.

The Emap PerformanceNetwork takes shapeThe jury is still out on the success ofthe year's most radical businessrestructure, which saw UK mediagroup Emap move away from dividingitself up by media type (magazines,TV, radio, online) to grouping by con-tent. As a result, the giant EmapPerformance Network (EPN) was cre-ated, bringing together all of the com-pany's music -related products. EPNchief executive Tim Schoonmakerhopes the move will bring benefits interms of synergies and cross -mediabrand exploitation, and while thismay have started to happen therehave also been more than a few polit-ical problems and personality clashesflowing from the new structure'simplementation.

Boxman goes downThe dream of a genuine pan-European music e-tailer collapsed inOctober when the Swedish companyBoxman was forced to pull the plug,after a severe cash crisis. Last minuteefforts from CEO Tony Salter to raise£30 million failed when it appearedthat most of the company's sharehold-ers were not ready to inject moremoney into the venture. Boxman hada rapid expansion in 1998-99, openingaffiliates in most European territo-ries. But the development coincidedwith an increasing level of investmentand losses widened in 2000, reaching£23.5 million for the first half of 2000.Boxman's demise leaves more spaceto established players such asBertelsmann's BOL and Amazon,which opened a French site inSeptember.

Radio auctions: Sweden saysno. Holland says yesThe year 2000 saw Sweden drop itspolicy of holding auctions for radiofrequencies, replacing it with themore widespread system of theGovernment granting licences.

Meanwhile in Holland, the oppo-site happened, with the Governmentwanting to move from licence award-ing to auctions. VCR, the body whichrepresents commercial radio there,

filed a court case against the legiti-macy of auctions this summer. Itargued it would be unfair for a higherbidder to profit from the popularity ofthe frequencies stations had built upover the years. Meanwhile theGovernment itself got cold feet follow-ing the disappointing auctioning off ofmobile telephones frequencies (M&M,November 5).

Any auction will now not takeplace until September 2001.

Management changes inmusic companiesWhile two majors were trying to workout the basics of a merger (EMI andWarner), others were going throughsome profound management changes.At BMG, it was a complete changingof the guards, with the abrupt depar-ture of chairman MichaelDornemann and president StraussZelnick, replaced by veteran RudiGassner. In Europe Sony got embat-tled in a succession crisis, whichsaw Paul -Rene Albertini, the heirapparent to chairman Paul Russell,bail out unexpectedly to joinWarner, leaving the road open forSony Music UK chairman PaulBurger to take over Europe. Russellwas appointed to head Sony's pub-lishing division in New York, whileRob Stringer took over Burger'sjob-all this coinciding with one ofthe worst seasons ever for the com-pany in terms of releases.

Activity at Warner Music andEMI froze more or less during theirmerger process, and Albertini's trans-fer was one of the key signs that thecompany was moving back into anaggressive operating mode.Meanwhile, Universal Music wasshowing its strength by being the firstrecord company to post profits of abillion dollars and delivering a stringof unrivalled successes-and in theprocess changed ownership, withoutapparently affecting its efficiency.

Quotas raised in GermanyProviding a talking point atPopkomm 2000, the German opposi-tion coalition party CDU/CSU issueda document suggesting quotas beintroduced to ensure a certainamount of German -language songs beplayed on the country's radio (M&M,

own 'national' commercial radio sta-tion back in May. That's when themedia minister tabled a proposal forthe Government to allocate two`national' frequencies to commercialstations. The station(s) would finallyprovide some competition to the pub-lic national broadcaster, VRT, which

has enjoyed a virtual monopoly. OnNovember 15 the Government passeda decree allowing a national commer-cial station to go on the air. RadioContact, TopRadio, Radio Roxy and4FM are the frontrunners to apply forthe possible two licences, which are -expected to be advertised towards theend of 2001.

Austrian stations havelicenses withdrawnThe axe hanging over the heads ofAustrian commercial radio stationsfinally fell in 2000, when theGovernment ruled that the authori-ty which granted them the licenceswas an unconstitutional body. Itmarked the beginning of the end ofa messy saga that began back in themid -1990s when licences werehanded out to a number of stationsand then withdrawn for legal rea-

sons. The licences were reallocated toaround 20 stations by a new mediaregulator in 1997.

Meanwhile the stations not grant-ed licences began lobbying theGovernment. This resulted in theGovernment finally revoking alllicences in anticipation of the creationanother media authority. At time ofpress the stations' applications fortemporary licences were beingassessed while the new body is estab-lished.

The mar-riage was celebrated on December11 with the merger of Vivendi,Seagram and Canal+, turningwhat was formerly a utilitiesgiant into an entertainmentgroup of worldwide reach withinterests in music, cinema, televi-sion, press, Internet and telepho-ny. The combined turnover ofVivendi Universal should reach24.6 billion in 2000, according toestimates, positioning the new

YEAR IN REVIEW

Key players in the music game 2000Meet the movers andshakers. M&M profiles thekey personalities whohave shaped the year'sagenda.

THOMAS MIDDELHOFF(Bertelsmann)

Few personalities have been in thefrontline this year as much asBertelsmann's top executive ThomasMiddelhoff. From a small town inGermany, he is steering one of themost ambitious growth strategies inrecent times, bringing his entertain-ment group into the XXIst Century,with plans to expand into theInternet world and create platformsusing its content. He did not hesitateto guillotine the top management ofhis music division to bring back longserving executive Rudi Gassner. Hisalliance with Napster was a master-stroke, taking everyone in the indus-try by surprise, legitimising in one gothe validity of the file -sharing model.However, his ambition to transformNapster into a viable business modelfor artists and labels is still uncon-vincing. And his claim to become theworld's leading record company mayseem somehow over -ambitious, eventhough he has officially approachedEMI. Certainly one of the key peopleto watch in 2001.

ALAN McGEE(Creation/Poptones)

After folding Creation at the end of1999, Alan McGee wasted no timegetting back in the saddle. On May 15,2000 he founded new independentPoptones, which he floated onLondon's Alternative InvestmentMarket, raising a cool £15.7 million. Topromote the label, McGee runs a week-ly club night-Radio 4-in London'strendy Notting Hill district, which reg-ularly attracts the likes of CourtneyLove, Kate Moss and Liam Gallagher.An expert self -publicist, McGee hasrarely been out of the UK media allyear and in October made a full page

spread in a national Sunday newspa-per after it was disclosed that HerMajesty the Queen had bought equityin the label. The year 2000 also sawMcGee famously expelled from theLabour party for bankrolling MalcolmMcLaren's London mayoral campaign.

JAVIER PONS (SER/Elterrat)/CHRISTOPHE SABOT (NRJ/LV&Co)

They both had the "biggest radio job"in their countries-running the pro-grammes of the music stations in theirrespective groups, SER and*NRJ. Andboth decided, for different reasons, tocall it quits in 2000. Sabot, after a sixmonths hiatus, went back into radio,this time as managing director ofindependent radio group LV&Co,operator of Voltage and MFM. There,he is trying to make the best of hisexperience at NRJ in a smaller but noless ambitious group. Sabot, certainlyone of the leading radio programmersin Europe, is now his own man, andwill probably discover that life as anindependent broadcaster is not soeasy.Pons, after close to 20 years in theradio business, has fallen for TV.After overseeing the country's top net-works-Los 40 Principales, M80 andCadena Dial-he is moving into theTV world to become co -MD of inde-pendent production companyElterrat. Both Sabot and Pons have aprofound legacy-they have trans-formed radio programming in theircountries and in Europe into a highlyprofessional business, making lifeharder for their competitors. Theywill be tough acts to follow.

DAG HAQQVIST(IFPI Sweden/Gazell Music)

Dag Haqqvist is one of the father fig-ures of the Swedish music industry.He has been associated with many ofits talent, not the least of which beingAbba. This year, this usually soft-spo-ken executive has taken the lead inone of the most controversial issues ofthe year: confronting MTV's attitudeduring the MTV Europe Awards held

in Stockholm in November. TheSwedes' disappointment was so acutethat they didn't hesitate to make theirfeelings public, putting the pan-European broadcaster in a ratherembarrassing situation. In addition,Haqqvist resigned as chairman oftroubled Swedish record companyMNW after shareholders failed to liveup to their promises. Surely, DagHaqqvist is a man of principles.

JEAN -PAUL BAUDECROUX(NRJ)

Pulling out of the deal to buy RMCmust have been a blow to NRJfounder and main shareholder Jean -Paul Baudecroux, one of France'swealthiest men. Not only did he loseone of his key aides Alain Weill, in theprocess- often described as one manperforming four different functions onhis own-but it was a blow to hisexpansion strategy. However, he hadmany other reasons to rejoice in 2000.For a start, never has his group per-formed so well financially, surfing onthe advertising expenditure wave,and never have his four national net-works-NRJ (CHR), Cherie FM (AC),Nostalgie (Gold) and Rires etChanson (comedy/AC)-reached somany listeners. Then there was theon -going strength of his internationalnetwork of station, present in nineEuropean countries and turning NRJinto one of the few truly pan-European radio groups.

JEFF SMITH(BBC Radio 1/Capital Radio)

The man widely credited with reviv-ing the audience figures at publicCHR station BBC Radio 1 through hishighly astute music policy, Smith hasbeen the hottest property in the UKradio industry this year. It was widely

rumoured that he was courted byEmap to become the first music direc-tor of its Performance Network beforesurprising everyone by joining CapitalRadio to take on the challenge of turn-ing round the ratings decline at itsflagship station, 95.8 Capital FM.

As programme controller, Smithhas refocused the London CHR firmlyon a young twentysomething audi-ence, with a sexy new image and amore contemporary music policy.There are concerns though, (recentlyvoiced by city analysts) that many ofCapital's popular and well -establishedpresenters, such as Chris Tarrant,may not sit so comfortably with thestation's new younger profile.

KEITH PRINGLE(Chrysalis Radio/Puremix)

Former Chrysalis Radio group pro-gramme director Pringle this yearbecame the most senior UK radio pro-grammer to jump ship to the Internetsector following his creation-alongwith former Galaxy 105/ Leeds pro-gramme director Ande Macpherson-of personalised radio sitePuremix.com, a start-up backed bythe duo's former employers.Puremix's unique feature which setsit apart from other "personalised"Internet radio sites is the 60 -second"music mixer" test. Reactions to snip-pets of music dictate which ofPuremix's 40 streamed audio chan-nels (which also feature voice -trackedInternet DJs) will best match eachuser's taste. The success or otherwiseof the project originally code -named"Ride The Tiger" could have impor-tant implications for the long-termviability of Internet radio as a medi-um, not to mention some of the repu-tations which have been staked on it.

ROGER AMES (Warner Music)/KEN BERRY (EMI Recorded Music)

They were the "dream team" for amerger "made in heaven." In the end,Warner Music's chairman RogerAmes and EMI Recorded Music's chiefexecutive Ken Berry, who started themerger conversations between thetwo groups at the end of 1999, wereleft on their own (and with a bill topay, as EMI revealed the merger

At EMI, Berry now has to devise astrategy for himself and his group,which will start by relocating to NewYork, and trying to grow EMI's USbusiness, although another merger,this time with BMG, might be on thecards for 2001.

THE CORRS/JEAN-MICHEL JARRE(IFPI Artists Spokesperson)

Taking over from Jean -Michel Jarreas the European Artists Spokespeople,The Corrs brought a huge dose ofcharm into some very dry issues. Asthe first ambassador for Europeanartists, Jarre helped open new doorsand his mantle is in good hands as thefour Irish siblings have alreadyshown. Their presence alongside keyEuropean politicians such as theEuropean Commission presidentRomano Prodi or the president of theEuropean Parliament Nicole Fontaineprobably helped the progress of somekey industry issues more than hoursof legal discussions. The Corrs alsoexemplify the concept of the IFPIPlatinum Awards, created to highlightartists who sell over one million unitsin Europe. Several of their artist col-leagues-among them Mel C,Liguabue and Herbert Gronemeyer -joined them in Brussels on July 13 forthe third IFPI Platinum Awards show,an event which attracted several keypolicy makers, among them Prodi andhis vice-president Neil Kinnock.

JAY BERMAN(IFPI)

It has been quite a busy year for thecombative chairman/CEO of theinternational music industry's organ-isation IFPI. Berman's agenda includ-ed dealing with the European Com-mission on the much -delayed

Copyright Directive and the newPiracy Directive, beefing up IFPI'santi -piracy unit to fight against anever -sophisticated parallel industry,and facing the increasing pressurefrom Internet companies. Berman isnow looking forward to the next twoyears, having just renewed his con-tract with IFPI for a second two-yearmandate, during which he expects tocomplete the restructuring of theorganisation and see the completionof some important legislative works.

RUDI GASSNER/MICHAEL DORNE-MANN/STRAUSS ZELNICK (BMG)

A few years back, BMG Internationalpresident/CEO Rudi Gassner wasdenied the role he naturally expectedto fulfil as president/CEO of BMG.Instead, chairman MichaelDornemann chose the youngerAmerican executive Strauss Zelnick.After a series of disagreements withZelnick, Gassner decided to leave thecompany at the beginning of 2000 andbecame what he called "a free agent."Nine months later, he was back-thistime in the driving seat-following aradical management change made byBertelsmann's chairman ThomasMiddelhoff. Dornemann was expectedto leave at some point, but the depar-ture of Zelnick was unexpected.Zelnick was reportedly unhappyabout losing control over BMG'sInternet strategy and Middelhoff wassaid to be less than impressed by hishandling of the crisis with Aristafounder Clive Davis. Meanwhile,Gassner will be fully in charge at thebeginning of 2001.

PATRICK ZELNIK(Naive/UPFI/Impala)

When news came last Midem thatEMI was going to merge with WarnerMusic, it was an earthquake forPatrick Zelnik. The founder of Frenchindie label Naïve (and also president

of French indie label's associationUPFI) thought that consolidation inthe music industry was going one steptoo far. Instead of lamenting, Zelnikdecided to take action. He drafted afirst document objecting to the merg-er and almost alone against an armyof lawyers, Zelnik, along with theEuropean indie's body Impala-tooktheir case to the EuropeanCommission. There, surprisingly,they found some ears ready to listento their objections.

In the end, faced by a strong oppo-sition from the Commission competi-tion authorities, EMI and Warner hadto withdraw their proposal. No smallvictory for Zelnik, who proved thatwith obstination, a few people canchange the course of history.

MICHAEL ROBERTSON (MP3.com)SHAWN FANNING (Napster)

IAN CLARKE (Freenet)

For the music industry, they were thebad boys of the year, trying to pervertthe business model of the music indus-try with their file -sharing services. Formillions of Internet users, they werethe mavericks, the heroes who allowedthem to access freely the biggest musiccatalogue in the world in a digital form.Robertson and Fanning are now get-ting closer to the music industry, theformer by settling with most of thelabels who sued his company, the latterby letting Bertelsmann take a share inNapster. As for Clarke, the self -dubbed"web anarchist" whose mantra is "westart with the assumption that copy-right law doesn't exist," the jury is stillopen-he still has to prove that he has

a valid technology and the music indus-try has not given up in convincing himthat that copyright laws are for real.

DIETER GORNY(Viva)

Although Viva might have lost itsleadership in the German market toarch rival MTV, 2000 was an impor-tant year for the six -year -old musicchannel and its ambitious chief exec-utive Dieter Gorny. With this year'sflotation on the stock market, Vivahas become a leading media companywith massive expansion plans. Not aman to takes things lightly, Gornyhas moved into overdrive to developthe Viva brand, on the Internet, inPoland, in Switzerland, in Spain (inpartnership with SGAE), and also inItaly, although the deal there withRete A has sparked controversy withMTV which is already broadcast onthe terrestrial network.

During the year Gorny alsoannounced the launch of Viva Radio,after winning a terrestrial radiolicence in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia, in a joint venture withcommercial broadcaster NRW.

JEAN -MARIE MESSIER(Vivendi Universal)

When the EMI/Warner merger col-lapsed brutally in October, Jean-Marie Messier was just a few weeksaway from seeing his dream cometrue of building a major entertain-ment group. On December 11, thenew Vivendi Universal companystarted trading on the French and USstock market. Messier's amicable bidfor Seagram, which gave him accessto the leading record company in theworld and one of the biggest film stu-dios, propelled him overnight in thefirst league of executives who willshape the entertainment industry oftomorrow. Only aged 44, Messier hasa huge appetite and the way he hasmanoeuvred so far proved that he alsohas a sense of timing, a strategy, adrive to win-and a little bit of luck.

AIRBORNEThe pick of the week's new singles

by Siri Stavenes Dove & Miriam Hubner

GREEN DAYWARNING(Reprise)Release Date: December/Janu-aryTen years after the release of theirdebut album 39 I Smooth, GreenDay's sixth album Warning was

out this October. The title track is the second singlefrom the album which was released after a two-yearbreak for the band members. The California -basedpunk -pop trio showed with 1998's acoustic guitartrack Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life) that theyhave mellowed since their early punk beginningsand, although Warning contains the trademarksarcastic lyrics, it is also considerably moreaccessible than earlier Green Day material. Acatchy tune with a singalong chorus, it is beingpicked up by CHR, alternative and even AC stationsall over Europe. "It's a fabulous song," says head ofmusic at Hot AC station Cool FM John PaulBallantine. "Green Day is good rock'n'roll and we'vealways liked it and played it here. It's refreshing toget something that isn't dancey-real musiciansplaying real music." The band just ended theirEuropean tour at Wembley Arena in the UK, havingperformed in Portugal, Spain, Italy and Germany inNovember and December. SSD

JENNIFER LOPEZ

LOVE DON'T COST A THING(Columbia)Release date: January 8Shortly after hitting theradio stations, JenniferLopez' Love Don't Cost AThing picked up airplay in

over 13 European countries. The single is thefirst from new album JLO, the follow-up toLopez' successful debut On The 6. A favouriteon MTV, Lopez took the prize for best R&B inthis year's MTV Europe Music Awards inStockholm, and best dance act at the MTVVideo Music Awards in New York. Most peoplewill also remember this Latin all-round talentbecause of her appearances in films such asSelena and Out of Sight, where she co-starredwith George Clooney. Although not strictlyLatin, Love Don't Cost A Thing is upbeat andenergetic with a funky beat. "We put the songimmediately on our playlist," says head ofmusic at Radio NRW Carsten Hoyer. "LoveDon't Cost A Thing is not as spicy as herprevious singles, but I am convinced that it willbe a great hit on radio and that our audiencewill like it. It reminds me of Janet Jackson'smusic." Hoyer points out that "Jennifer Lopezhas an 'entertainment value'-people alreadyknow her from her films. This song is crucial indeciding whether Jennifer will make it as anartist in Europe." MH

DANCE BEATThe weekly dance chart comment by Harold Roth

The story of the week is the almost overnightsuccess of Belgium's Yves Deruyter. One of thefirst children of techno, his earlier releaseswere a bit too far underground to reach main-stream club audiences and to cross over toother territories. But times have changed-hisnew track Back To Earth (Bonzai) currentlytops the club chart in his native Belgium andalso ranks high in the country's sales -baseddance chart. That was enough to lift the trackfrom 61 to 47 in last week's chart. But thisweek it has exploded, jetting from 47 to numbernine, thanks to German DJs jumping on thetrack, and import copies reaching the stores inFrance and Germany.

There is still no change at the top, with DaftPunk's One More Time (Labels/Virgin) keepingthe chart crown for a third successive week.The French tune enjoys the biggest penetrationof all tracks among the regional dance chartsby far, and has even managed to increase itsspread this week through a debut on the Dutchclub chart.

Svenson & Johan Gielen's The Beauty OfSilence is signed to Dutch indie ID&T andreleased on that label's Free -For -All imprint.Popularity amongst DJs and dancestores inBelgium and The Netherlands combined withdance chart activity in Germany (on importalone) hoists it up from 15 to 10.

Also near the top 10 is Italy's Santos, thebrainchild of producer Sante Pucello, whoseCamels (Mantra Vibes) rockets from 36 to 11.The track tops the British club chart and enjoysa high position in the German dance chart,with mixes by Santos themselves and Britain'sDJ Zinc.

Once the queen of dance with tracks likeEverybody, Lucky Star and Holiday, mother oftwo Madonna returns to her club roots withDon't Tell Me (Maverick). The track enjoys asomewhat delayed success on the dance chart,but nevertheless needed only two weeks toreach the top 40. The record moves up from 73to 32 this week. Madonna is one of only a hand-ful of artists to have had more than one num-ber one tracks on European Dance Traxx sincethe chart's launch in January 1997.

ON THE AIRM&M's weekly airplay analysis column

The year is drawing to a steady close for theEuropean Radio Top 50, with only two newtracks entering the chart this week. Spook'sThings I've Seen (Artemis/Sony) has been sim-mering in Europe for a while and now comes toa full boil, gaining enough points to enter at 44.

Urban station Jam FM picked the track up asearly as four months ago. Head of music FrankNordman there quickly realised the record hadpotential. "It sounds very unique," he says. "Thecombination of classical pop, modern R&B andhip hop is very interesting and I thought it couldhave a chance in the German charts when Iheard it. We are a ground -breaking station,always trying to promote new tracks. Other sta-tions look to our playlist and pick up stuff weplay." Jam FM added satellite distribution inOctober and now they are fighting to get a sec-ond terrestrial frequency in Berlin andBrandenburg.

Scottish group Texas have been enjoying vastamounts of airtime this week-In Demand(Mercury) is at 21 after all of 15 weeks on thechart and now Inner Smile (Mercury) enters thechart at 46. The latter was added this week by anumber of stations including CHR RadioUptown in Denmark, AC stations Hundert 6 inGermany and M-80 in Spain.

Madonna spends herthird week at numberone with Don't Tell Me(Maverick/Warner) andRobbie Williams entersthe top five withSupreme (Chrysalis), atfour this week. U2'sStuck In A Moment YouCan't Get Out Of(Island) doesn't seem tobe stuck at all, flying upas it does, from 34 to 23in its second week in thechart. It tops the MostAdded chart for the sec-ond week running.

For fellow Irishmen Westlife, 2000 has beenan unforgettable year. Ronan Keating - managedboys won Record Of The Year in the UK for theirsingle My Love (RCA) for the second year run-ning. At theSmash HitsMagazine PollWinners Awardsthe following day,the boy bandwalked off with noless than sixawards, includingbest single of 2000for My Love again,and best band on planet pop. Westlife also wonbest UK & Ireland act at the MTV Europe MusicAwards in November. My Love is at 20 this weekin the Top 50, after nine weeks in the chart. TheRCA act visited Norway last week when theywere part of the Nobel Peace Prize concert artistline-up. Other artists present to honourprizewinner Kim Dae Jung included Moby, ErosRamazzotti, Bon Jovi and Femi Kuti. The con-cert will be broadcast in over 100 countries.Westlife's new single What Makes A Man is cur-rently bubbling under, having so far attractedinterest mainly on UK radio, but the rest ofEurope is sure to follow suit shortly.

NEWS

UMG extends contract of chairman Morrisjointly by Edgar Bronfman Jr., vicechairman of Vivendi Universal, andthe company's chairman and CEOJean-Marie Messier.

In a statement, Bronfmandescribed Morris as "without a doubtthe best music executive in the busi-ness," and credited him for re -energis-ing UMG by "attracting and recruit-ing some of the music industry's mosttalented artists and executives."

Messier commented: "Doug hasdone an outstanding job in creating

the most successful music companyin the world. With his proven trackrecord andinnate talent forrecognisingmusic trendsand artistic tal-ent across manygenres, I amconfident hewill continue tokeep UniversalMusic ahead of

the competition."Before moving to Universal, at that

time known asMCA MusicEntertainmentGroup, Morrisworked for 17years at Warn-er Music, most-ly at Atlantic,and ultimatelyas chairman in1995. Morris

continued from page 1

was ousted in a corporate battle andstarted his association with Universalin July 1995. He was appointed chair-man and CEO of the company at theend of 1995.

Vivendi Universal started trading onthe French and US stock exchange mar-ket on December 11. According toVivendi Universal estimates, UniversalMusic's is the largest record company inthe world with a 22% market share andis the number one music company in75% of the 63 countries it operates in.

Renner rises at Uni Germanychairman/CEO of Universal MusicGermany, taking over the post fromits 11 -year head, Wolf -D. Gramatke(M&M Hotline, December 16). Thus,Renner inherits one of UniversalMusic International's powerhouseoperating companies, with annualsales reported to exceed DM1 billion,a talent roster comprising some 200acts, and a dominant market share inthe 30% range.

Sharing the responsibility will beVico Antippas, who is to augment hiscurrent duties as president of Univer-sal Music Austria/Switzerland withthe rank of executive VP/COO of Uni-versal Music Germany, also effectiveJanuary 1. Wingolf Mielke continuesas executive VP/CFO of the Germangroup of companies.

It was Island/Def Jam MusicGroup president Lyor Cohen whocalled Renner a "barbarian" this pastsummer, joking in the context of DefJam's plans to open its own unit inBerlin. Cohen also said Renner was"a businessman who understandswhat we have experienced to build upa lifestyle company."

Quoted in 1999, Cohen's formerco -president at Island/Def Jam, JohnReid, said Renner was "probably thebest A&R man in Germany." The twomen worked together on the USlaunch of Rammstein, theflamethrowing German rock banddeveloped at Motor Music, which wasthe PolyGram label Renner helmedafter his initial Polydor success.

Rammstein is an act typical ofthose championed by the new chief ofUniversal Music Germany: tough,uncompromising, and highly attrac-tive to a new generation of musicbuyers. Indeed, Renner says hisinstincts ("the courage to have fun")are key to future success in his newpost. "It's time to take a stand and beradical," he declares. "Being irrele-vant is history."

Renner's creative assets run in thefamily. His wife, Petra Husemann-Renner, now heads Motor Music; shesucceeded him in that slot two yearsago, when he was named music grouppresident of Universal Music's Ger-man business.

Outgoing chairman/CEO Gra-matke, 53, is gracious in recognisingthat Universal Music Internationalchairman/CEO Jorgen Larsen is mak-ing a generational change at the Ger-man operation. "If you want to bet onthe young executives, this is yourchance to do that," he says of Renner.Industry sources indicate the latter's

continued from page 1

contract was due to expire in 2001.Moreover, Gramatke notes that

Universal itself is facing change underincoming proprietor Vivendi. "It's anew company, with new shareholders,new plans, a new financial year," hesays. "If you introduce changes, itmakes sense to do it at this time."

All this led to what Larsen calls amutual agreement, in which Gra-matke segues to non -executive chair-man of Universal Music Germany.This will include his ongoing involve-ment on the boards of the nationalgroup of labels' body IFPI, music TVnetwork Viva, the German PhonoAcademy, and Universal Music's dis-tribution company.

Notwithstanding his continuingUniversal connections, Gramatke islikely to weigh a variety' of futureemployment options. "I need a secondlife to accept all the interesting offersI have had," he says, while decliningto reveal whether he has "non -com-pete" restrictions.

As Renner takes on overallresponsibility for Universal MusicGermany, COO Antippas is expectedto focus on administrative tasks. Hehas a reputation as a tough business-man, gained during hisAustria/Switzerland stewardship,and previously as managing directorof PolyGram Greece.

This scenario should leave Rennerfree to focus on creative issues, whichinclude a determination to strength-en Universal's domestic roster. "Ourrepertoire companies have brokeninternational acts such as Blood-hound Gang, Goldfinger and Myaahead of their home markets and therest of the world," he says, "therebyproving [those companies'] skills." Headds, "All at Universal are more will-ing to experiment-we are not afraidof making mistakes."

Reporting to Renner from January1 will be managing directors Huse-mann-Renner at Motor, JoachimHarbich at Polymedia Marketing,Joerg Hellwig at Polydor, Boris Loe-he at Mercury, Konrad von Loehney-sen at Universal Records, and OliverSchulten at Classics & Jazz; also,Polystar GM Harry Weller.

Renner will be accountable to Jor-gen Larsen, while Antippas reportsto Renner in his role as UniversalMusic Germany COO, and to Larsenas president of Universal'sAustria/Switzerland companies.

Adam White is international editor -in -chief, Billboard.

UK radio ownershipparticular government's parliamen-tary cycle we would have expectedthem to have made up their minds."

Adds Brown: "I don't think it'sgood for any business sector to bemaking its plans in an aura of uncer-tainty. You need as much certaintyas you reasonably can in working outyour strategy for the forthcomingyear. That clarity has not been pro-vided by the White Paper and that isdisappointing from our point of view."

Ralph Bernard, chief executive ofthe GWR Group, says he is "unques-tionably disappointed that [the gov-ernment] failed to grasp the nettle[on ownership regulation] this timeround. But I put that down to the factthat, once again, when it comes tobroadcast legislation it's TV that getsall the quality thinking time andradio gets relegated to the shadows ofthe debate."

However, Bernard, whose GWRGroup is hoping to expand still fur-ther in the radio sector as soon asownership restrictions permit, says"There has been no suggestion to methat there's anything other than fullacknowledgement [by government]that the [existing radio ownership]points system is widely discreditedand should go.

"But it does need some time tothink about what you're going toreplace it with, and frankly thosewho have drawn up the White Paperhave failed the radio industrybecause they've spent more timethinking about television."

One major change the WhitePaper is definitely proposing is theabolition of the Radio Authority andother sector -specific regulators,which will be replaced by Ofcom, a"super -regulator" which will regulatecommercial media in the UK.

Radio Authority chief executiveTony Stoller welcomes the proposedchange, which he says is "very closelyin line with what we suggested togovernment. The White Paper main-tains the importance of radio gettingspecific treatment in cases where it is

different.As far aswe're con-cerned thisis an excel-lent docu-ment tomove for-ward from."

In apress state-ment, how -

continued from page 1

ever, the CRCA insists that "theOfcom proposals, as currentlyexpressed, appear to recreate theIBA, whereby commercial radio con-cerns are at risk of being relegated,once more, to an afterthought."

The now -defunct IBA (Indepen-dent Broadcasting Authority) was thebody which regulated commercialradio and TV in the '70s and '80s pri-or to separate radio and TV regula-tors being established in 1990.

"Some of the detail on Ofcom israther fluffy-they're asking it to doan awful lot," the CRCA's Brown tellsM&M. "There is no indication thatthere would be a particular divisionthat deals with radio."

Brown says he is also disappointedthat (aside from regulation on mattersof broadcasting standards), the activi-ties of public broadcaster the BBC willnot form a core part of Ofcom's remit."The BBC is an elephant which they[the government] haven't put in anykind of cage," he claims.

GWR's Bernard is relaxed aboutthe movetowards an all -media regula-tor. "Whatwe're talkingabout here is acompletelynew radicalrestructuringof regulation,and it's myunderstandingthat there will be very specific divi-sions within Ofcom," he says. "I'm con-fident that radio will be safeguarded."

The government is seekingresponses to what it has published byFebruary 12. It will then work on adraft Communications Bill, whichwill be the subject of further discus-sion and consultation.

When exactly that Bill will beintroduced into parliament remainsuncertain, but it is not likely to beuntil after the next general election.This means that the earliest anychanges to radio regulation couldtake effect would be 2003.

The Radio Authority's Stoller isadamant that the fact that the govern-ment hasn't signalled its intentions onownership regulation won't createproblems for the regulator in its han-dling of current ownership matters.

"We have a brief to implementwhatever is the current legislation,"he says. "There's no uncertainty-there's very clear legislation thatwe'll continue to implement."

Scotland's biggest radio group Scottish RadioHoldings (SRH) has appointed investmentbank Goldman Sachs to review its strategicoptions after Scottish Media Group (SMG)-owners of Scottish Television and VirginRadio-last week acquired 14.9% of thecompany in anticipation of a relaxation of mediaownership rules in the UK government'sCommunications White Paper. However, thegovernment's cautious attitude to reformingcross -media ownership regulations (see story,front page) is likely put any full take-over ofSRH by SMG firmly on hold.

MidemNet, the internationalInternet music conference to be heldin Cannes on January 20, has addedtwo prestigious artists to its line-up ofpanellists. Former Genesis frontmanPeter Gabriel (pictured), co-founderof Internet company OD2, and jazzpianist Herbie Hancock, will bothbe delivering keynote speeches at theconference. They will join Michael Robertson,founder of MP3.com.

Clive Davis' new BMG-bankrolled label JRecords is already making history in the UScharts. Its first release, 0 -Town's LiquidDreams, went straight in at number one onBillboard's Hot 100 singles sales chart thisweek, marking the first time the debut fromboth an artist and a label has entered a chart atthe top.

Historic UK music publication MelodyMaker is closing down. The title, which hasbeen published weekly since 1926, is to mergewith weekly rock newspaper NME, alsopublished by IPC Magazines. Melody Makermanaging director Mike Soutar-a former MDof London dance station Kiss 100-commentedthat "market conditions made continuedpublishing impossible."

The IFPI's new general manager in Russia isexpected to be named in the beginning ofJanuary. Hotline understands that theincumbent will have a strong legal background.

French Internet company Yacast, whichspecialises in monitoring radio and TV, isunderstood to have signed an exclusive dealwith France's NRJ Group which will seeYacast providing streaming audio facilities forall the group's stations, both in France and therest of Europe.

Just as M&M was going to press, IFPINorway sent a formal letter asking NordicWeb Radio (NWR) to cease webcasting (seestory, page 3). The Oslo -based webcaster, ownedjointly by Radio 1 Norway and Internet portalScandinavia Online, is being threatened withcourt action, should it not comply. Says IFPINorway secretary general Swmund Fiskvik:"We've decided to take these steps, becausewe're not talking about Napster anarchists, butrather a legal entity backed by large and seriouscompanies."

Finally, in the week that Vivendi Universalofficially started trading as a French company,Universal Music France was able to celebratethe milestone in style by achieving theunprecedented feat of occupying all top fivepositions on the French album chart.
