THE DEATH OF PRINT JOURNALISM: ISLAND IN THE STREAM EDITION

Island troubadour Shawn Mendes, who graces the cover of our most recent print edition, is about to land at #1 on both our charts with his sophomore full-length, Illuminate, which comes on the heels of his smash “Treat You Better.” Team Massey is in full effect for the rollout, though when they’d probably prefer that the young star’s appearance on the cover of our rag was never illuminated.

Our Contents Page VIP, meanwhile, is Pandora chief Tim Westergren. After throwing down bigtime and inking deals with major and indie labels, Westergren has claimed a spot on center stage for the streaming wars. The tech giant’s new mid-tier service is poised to claim an audience seeking an inexpensive monthly sub, and a full-boat competitor to Spotify and Apple Music is due within months. But this HITS Contents shout-out may make the exec want to shut Pandora’s box.
