THE TOP 5 SPEAK

A Sneak Preview of Our Forthcoming
Mid-Year Update

In the upcoming issue of our magazine, we update our year-end profiles of the Top 5 marketshare label heads with a six-month review (the issue will also sport a unique cover). Here's a sneak peek at some of what they told us.

"Jimmy [Iovine] was letting me roll a certain way in order to prepare me for this moment"—John Janick, Interscope

"I haven't had any bolt-on marketshare—most other labels have in recent years ... It just makes me more competitive." —Rob Stringer, Columbia

"When we took over there hadn't been a lot of new signings ... That's why it's taken time." —Peter Edge, RCA

"Competitively? Fuck yeah. Game on—let's go." —Monte Lipman, Republic

"I think we're going to have a great run the rest of this year, and who knows where we may end up? We might surprise a lot of people." —Steve Barnett, Capitol

Stay tuned for the complete Q&As on the site next week.
