Arctic Monkeys, Dizzee Rascal
Top U.K. Charts
Arctic Monkeys scored their third U.K. No. 1
album and Dizzee Rascal his third No. 1 single in
the territory as the new charts were published Sunday (Aug. 30) by the Official Charts Company.
The English modern rock band's third album
"Humbug" (Domino) outsold the rest of the top five
combined to debut at the top. Its predecessors, "Favorite Worst Nightmare" in 2007 and "Whatever
People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not" in 2006,
also debuted at the summit. French DJ-artist David
Guetta followed last week's No. 1 on the singles
chart, "Sexy Chick" featuring Akon, with a No. 2
debut
for
the
album
"One
Love"
(Positiva/Virgin/EMI). Last week's album bestseller, Calvin Harris' "Ready For The Weekend"
(Columbia/Sony Music Entertainment), dropped
to No. 3 as its title track single held at No. 4.
The new album chart also showed renewed sales
for James Morrison's "Songs For You, Truths For
Me" (Polydor/Universal, up 14-9 for its first top ten
appearance since April) and Lily Allen's "It's Not
Me, It's You" (Regal/Parlophone/EMI), up 16-11,
its highest ranking since June.
Neil Diamond had a new entry at No. 14 with the
new live set "Hot August Night/NYC"
(Columbia/Sony Music Entertainment), while
British modern rock band Athlete's fourth album
"Black Swan," their first since moving from Parlophone/EMI to Fiction/Universal in the U.K., entered at No. 18. Wartime entertainer Dame Vera
Lynn, now 92, saw Decca/Universal's new compilation "We'll Meet Again - The Very Best of Vera
Lynn," chart at No. 20, her highest-ever standing
in the British album chart.
Dizzee Rascal's "Holiday" (Dirtee Stank) became
his third U.K. No. 1 single in little more than a year
and second in three months. "Dance Wiv Me," the
rapper's collaboration with Harris, hit the top in
July 2008 and "Bonkers," with Armand Van Helden,
led the field at the end of May. The only other top
ten newcomer was "The Golden Rule" (14th
Floor/Warner Music) by Scottish rockers Biffy
Clyro. There were top 20 climbs for Sean Kingston's
"Fire Burning" (Beluga Heights/Epic/Sony Music
Entertainment), 13-12, and Lily Allen's "22," up 2314.
For the first time since his death, Michael Jackson surrendered the top spot on European Top 100
Albums, replaced by Black Eyed Peas' "The E.N.D.
(The Energy Never Dies)" (Interscope/Universal).
Pitbull's "I Know You Want Me (Calle Ocho)"
(Ultra/B1) is in a sixth week at No. 1 on Eurochart
Hot 100 Singles.

COPYRIGHT DEBATE, NIELSEN,
WMG, THE PIRATE BAY AND MORE
• News of it has gone almost unnoticed in
the U.S., so you may not know the Canadian
government is consulting on copyright in advance of new copyright legislation . Discussion has been robust, thoughtful (usually)
and quite interesting to watch from south of
the border. Now, I n d u s t r y M i n i s t e r T o n y
Clement has hinted a new copyright bill could
come in Spring 2010 rather than before the
end of 2009. (Michael Geist)
• Nielsen describes America's generation
gap and explained some differences that marketers should note. Example: Younger persons spend somewhat lower amounts of time
online from home in an average day, but are
the strongest adopters of other forms of technology-such as the mobile telephone. In 2008,
the average teenager sent or received over
35,000 text messages a year-about one message every 15 minutes, 24 hours a day, 365
days a year. That's 163 times more than the
average person aged 65+." (Nielsen)
• CD pirates have been taking it on the chin
due to harsher anti-piracy laws in Australia.
One music and movie store owners was sentenced to jail for 15 months for selling pirated CDs. A supplier of pirated CDs plead
guilty to 32 counts last week and faces sentencing on September 7. (Daily Telegraph)
• Warner Music Ireland's 2008 profits grew
70% to 713,615 euros on revenue of 10.26
euros million, according to accounts filed
with the government. (Irish Times)
• A common strategy in online marketing
••••
PAGE 2 OF 6
Twitter, Face is to direct all impressions (T
book, MySpace , etc.) to the artist's .com. It's
key to capturing direct-to-consumer sales
and is the best route to cultivating a deep relationship with fans. One problem is that
musicians spend a great deal of time managing content - uploading MP3s and pictures, entering tour dates, updating news
and bio information. Derek Sivers , founder
of CD Baby, outlines a type of service an ISP
could offer musicians: The artist's .com is
the one and only place information is entered. The ISP then disseminates that information throughout the Internet. "That way,
any new music websites could launch with
instant access to thousands of musicians,
with the most up-to-date info, and not need
to host any of the audio, images, or text on
their site. Everything be pulled real-time
from your site using the API." (Music Think
Tank)
• The latest news on the Pirate Bay is only
tangentially related to its possible acquisition by Global Gaming Factory. The Swedish
government has confiscated some assets of
GGF's CEO to help satisfy a claim for back
taxes owed. This development may not have
any impact on GGF's quest to acquire the
Pirate Bay - investors already have plenty of
reasons for cold feet - but the timing couldn't be better for skeptics of GGF and its
planned business model. (ZeroPaid)

7-ELEVEN, WHOLE FOODS COME
TOGETHER FOR FAB 4
The Beatles will get a little help from new corporate friends on Sept. 9 when EMI Music embarks on the global launch of its digitally
remastered Beatles catalog on CD to coincide
with the release of videogame The Beatles: Rock
Band.
It will be hard to miss the push this fall as
Restoration Hardware, Starbucks, Whole Foods,
Ralph's, Pathmark, 7-Eleven and Blockbuster all
promote the CD collection.
The label sees the move as a chance to use an
artist with major muscle to open up new channels for the sales of CDs since record stores are
becoming about as extinct as the 8-track tape. The
Beatles-a notable holdout on iTunes-have the
broad appeal that opens retail doors.
"It will allow us to reach the everyday places
people shop," said Bill Gagnon, svp, catalogue
marketing for EMI Music North America. "We're
bringing the music to where they are."
With one Beatle boot in the retail door, EMI
sees a possible inroads for a roster that includes
Coldplay, the Beastie Boys and the White Stripes
along with classic artists such as Dean Martin
and Nat King Cole. Gagnon is currently approaching food, drug, mass and other alt-retailers with
the Now That's What I Call Music! brand. "But
it still needs to be a pretty significant project to
get these outlets' attention," he explained.
Terry Dry, president of Los Angeles-based new
media marketing agency Fanscape, said such retail outlets are a great channel for the label. "The
Internet's the ultimate distribution mechanism,
but [labels] haven't quite figured out how to monetize that well or how to still sell their shiny plas-
tic discs. When you look at a place like a 7-Eleven
or a supermarket where you can get that impulse
buyer who's spending $100 on groceries, they
might buy the Beatles remastered instead of US
Weekly. EMI also has the Beach Boys and Sinatra and some pretty cool catalog stuff that makes
sense to that shopper. My mother hasn't totally
figured out her iPod yet."
Anticipated as one of the largest music marketing and merchandising events ever, 9/9/09
will unleash an Apple Corps avalanche: the 14 remastered Beatles CDs (both stereo and mono versions), the Rock Band game and gear, and a slew
of fan fare brokered by licensing agency Live Nation Merchandise, ranging from Beatles guitar
straps (Planet Waves) to vintage-style tees. Apple
Corps oversees the Beatles' business assets. On
the retail side, the promotional plans include:
• Restoration Hardware will showcase the full
range of remastered discs along with the limited
edition $89.99 Box of Vision tabletop CD display
unit and book, The Beatles: Rock Band, USAopoly's Beatles-themed Trivial Pursuit game,
and other Beatles booty in a Fab Four-furnished
living room. The Beatles will meet the cover of
Restoration Hardware's holiday catalog, too, said
Steve Glasenk, vp-licensing, Live Nation Merchandise.
• Starbucks will offer four of the remastered
EMI Beatles titles throughout September-Abbey
Road, Help, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club
Band and Rubber Soul-which will be the sole
music offerings at the coffee chain during the
month.
• Target and Best Buy will build Beatles boutiques within stores to showcase the music, the
licensed lifestyle product and the MTV Games-
produced/Electronic Arts-distributed game.
Retail exclusives abound: Bloomingdale's will
sell a high-end edition of Rock Band featuring
replicas of John's and George's guitars and Paul's
bass in their very own travel cases. Best Buy will
run a midnight sales promotion and sell a crate
that contains a T-shirt and a CD.
Retail strategies aside, Paul et al. might wanna
set their bets on The Beatles: Rock Band driving
multigenerational music sales. "It's going to do
really well through the holidays," Dry predicted
of the Harmonix Music Systems-designed game.
He adds, "Little kids will wanna hear Beatles
music in their cars. I think it's going to surprise
people how big it is. They already think it's going
to be big, and it's going to be even bigger."

BRIAN JONES' DEATH TO BE REEXAMINED BY BRITISH POLICE
British police say they will review the 1969
death of Rolling Stones guitarist Brian Jones.
Sussex police said Monday in a statement that
they have received documents from an investigative journalist that relate to Jones' death.
They say the papers "will be examined by the
force, but it's too early to comment at this time
as to what the outcome might be."
Jones died in July 1969 at age 27. His body was
found in the pool at his 11-acre (4.5-hectare) Sussex estate. A coroner said Jones drowned while
under the influence of alcohol and drugs. But
there has long been speculation about the death.
The Mail on Sunday said Scott Jones - who is
not related to the musician - handed over 600 documents to Sussex police.

SUBLIME TO REUNITE FOR CYPRESS
HILL'S SMOKEOUT FEST
Sublime, the chart-topping Long Beach-based
punk reggae group that split-up more than 13
years ago when its lead singer died of a drug overdose, will play its first official gig with a new vocalist as part of the Smokeout festival, to be held
Oct. 23-24 at the San Manuel Amphitheatre in
San Bernardino, Calif.
Slipknot, Deftones, Cypress Hill, Geto Boys,
Goodie Mob, Pennywise, Redman & Method
Man, Kottonmouth Kings and Bad Brains, among
others, will perform across three stages at Cypress Hill's revamped event meant to raise awareness about the cannabis counter-culture.
Sublime's original lead singer, Bradley Nowell, died of a drug overdose in 1996 just as the
band was achieving its biggest mainstream success. Surviving members Bud Gaugh and Eric
Wilson went on to form the Long Beach Dub All
Stars, but earlier this year played a gig with Northern California-based singer Rome that Gaugh
later called a Sublime reunion.
Hosted by comedic duo Cheech and Chong,
the Guerilla Union-produced event will also feature appearances by Immortal Technique, Hieroglyphics, K'Naan, Living Legends, B Real, Mix
Master Mike, Devin the Dude, DJ Muggs, Dirty
Heads, Swollen Members, Big B, Afrika Bambaataa, DJ Reza, Lenny V, Barry Weaver and
ShortDawg Tha Native, with more to be announced.
The ticket pre-sale for Smokeout begins Sept.
4, and the general public on sale starts Sept. 12.
Further information will be available at guerillaunion.com/smokeout.
The Smokeout festival was launched by Cy-
press Hill in 1998. In addition to music, this year's
event will feature cannabis-themed events, including a 420 movie night, a "munchie garden,"
workshops, guest speakers and the Smokeout
Cannabis Cup and Medical Marijuana Expo.

JAY-Z CHARITY CONCERT PLANNED
FOR SEPT. 11
Rapper Jay-Z has formally unveiled plans for
a charity concert called "Answer The Call" to take
place at Madison Square Garden (MSG) on Sept.
11. All tickets will be priced at $50, with 100%
of the proceeds from ticket sales and concert
merchandise going to New York Police and Fire
Widows' and Children's Benefit Fund.
"This all came about September 10, 2001. I
was in Los Angeles shooting a video. The album
was to come out the next day. On that day, I got
a phone call and a friend of mine said, 'turn the
TV on.' I turned the TV on and I saw the World
Trade Center on fire," Jay-Z said yesterday before a room full of media at MSG.
"I turned the TV on September 12 and I saw
footage of these heroic actions, people running
to buildings and saving each other and I saw the
strength of New York," Jay-Z continued. "It made
me proud. So, as I was embarking on putting out
'Blueprint 3,' it was only right that we revisit that
day. This is my chance to do something to help
out."
Jay-Z's eleventh studio album, "Blueprint 3,"
will be released the same day as the concert. The
show will be televised live on Fuse TV, one of
the sponsors of the event.
In attendance at the formal announcement
was Governor David Patterson, Manhattan Bor-
ough president Scott Stringer; Stephen
Dannhauser, president and CEO of the New York
Police and Fire Widows' and Children's Benefit
Fund; NYC Fire Commissioner Nicholas Scoppetta; MSG Entertainment president Jay Marciano; Mike Bair, president of MSG Media;
Jay-Z's wife, singer Beyonce; and Warner Music
Group's executive VP Kevin Liles.

COLUMBIA TO RELEASE 'GLEE'
SOUNDTRACKS
Twentieth TV is teaming with Columbia
Records to release a series of soundtracks from
Fox's upcoming musical drama "Glee."
The partners will release "Glee: The Music, Volume 1" on Nov. 3. It contains 17 tracks performed
during the show's first season.
The move follows the success of the cast's cover
of Journey's "Don't Stop Believin'," which hit No.
1 on the iTunes chart following its use in the
show's pilot, which was previewed last season
after "American Idol."
Selections on the first soundtrack include renditions of Queen's "Somebody to Love," Neil Diamond's "Sweet Caroline" and Kanye West's
"Gold Digger."
"Glee" premieres Sept. 9 and has enjoyed some
of the strongest critical buzz among the new fall
shows. It also had a screening in July at ComicCon in San Diego.
Fox has struggled to launch dramas in the fall,
however, and the musical-drama format is a seldom-tested format. But initiatives that further
spread the show's soundtrack can only help generate more fans.

[IN BRIEF]
ADAM LAMBERT, ALLISON IRAHETA
CLOSE TO FINISHING DEBUT
ALBUMS
There's no rest for the signed on the American Idols Live! tour -- just ask runner-up Adam
Lambert and fourth-place finisher Allison Iraheta, who are using any down time on the road
to continue working on their debut albums,
which are both due in November.
Lambert tells Billboard.com that his set is
"about midway" to being finished. "We recorded
a bunch of stuff before the tour started, and I
wrote a handful of stuff," he reports. "We have
three or four weeks after the tour ends that I
have to record like crazy, but we have a lot of
material to do that with."
Lambert says the album "has elements of
rock, of course, but it has a lot of pop sensibilities to it. It's really current, really fresh and yet
still melodically and vocally it's nodding to the
'70s and '80s classics. I know I got most of my
credibility on 'Idol' doing those songs from
those eras, and it wouldn't make sense for me
to do an album that runs away from it."
Among Lambert's collaborators so far have
been RedOne, Linda Perry, Max Martin and
Greg Wells. The album is so far unnamed -- "I
want to see what ends up on the album before
I come up with a title," he says -- and will likely
be comprised of all-original songs, though he
says that "there might be a cover on there. It's
a maybe." Similarly, he has not yet recorded
any duets but says "the jury's still out. It really
could happen."
Iraheta, meanwhile, has been writing songs
with Kevin Rudolf and David Hodges for her
album, which she says will "definitely have that
rock sound to it. It'll be fun, and there's gonna
be some deep stuff, too -- like, lyrics about what
can possibly be happening to other people in
the world right now that I've gone through myself, but also melodically, just some good, slow
rock ballads."
Iraheta says she's feeling "less pressure" than
either Lambert or Season 8 "Idol" champion
Kris Allen. "They're not in my face as much as
they are in theirs," she notes. Lambert, meanwhile, acknowledges the weight of expectations.
"I do feel a little bit of pressure," he says.
"There's a lot of hype. I've been fortunate
enough to have a lot of attention, which is a
great thing for somebody in my position, with
an album coming out. I think people are going
to like what they hear. I hope they do, at least."
—Gary Graff
CRANBERRIES BOOK FIRST TOUR IN
SEVEN YEARS
Irish rock band The Cranberries will reunite
after a near seven-year break for a tour in North
America and Europe with some new songs and
old hits like "Zombie" and "Linger."
In January singer Dolores O'Riordan performed together with some former band members in Dublin for the first time since the band
from the western city of Limerick broke up in
2003.
They met again at O'Riordan's new home
in Canada at the christening of her son Taylor.
"Never officially broken up, the band instead
has been on hiatus, and being in the same
room and playing music together for the first
time made them realize how much they had
missed each other," said the band's web site.
The Cranberries, one of the most successful Irish bands of recent times, was formed in
the early 1990s. It will begin its tour in North
America toward the end of the year and continue in Europe in early 2010, the web site said.
The Irish Times newspaper said the tour
would start in Toronto in mid-November.
"We lost contact with each other," O'Riordan told the paper, adding that she was "tickled silly" by the thought of recording a new
album again with the band.
"We were always friends, but I wouldn't be
hanging around with them offstage. They're
real lad's lads. What was I going to talk to them
about? Breastfeeding?"
