WIDENING HIS SCOPE: JOHN JANICK

Interscope Capitol boss John Janick enjoys a market share that can only be described, in the parlance of industry data experts, as sick: 16.4% overall and 16.1 current. Much credit for these remarkable stats goes to Kendrick Lamar, who has the #2 album YTD and has been parked in the upper reaches of the streaming charts for months. Add Lady Gaga, Doechii, Billie Eilish, Gracie Abrams, Playboi Carti and KAROL G (not to mention unparalleled catalog) to the mix, and it’s clear why the group is a full-on juggernaut. If only this HITS contents-page mention weren’t stuck in its tires.
