Last year three Jive releases finished among the Top 10 best-selling U.S. albums: Spears' Oops!...I Did It Again, Backstreet's Black & Blue and 'N Sync's No Strings Attached. If you think that's just kid stuff, think again. Privately owned by South African entrepreneur Clive Calder, Jive (and its parent company, Zomba) rode the teen wave to an estimated $800 million in sales last year, making it the world's largest independent label. Jive's 6.7% U.S. market share placed it well ahead of better-established labels, including Arista (4.9%) and Def Jam (3.9%). This year Zomba...

"Thirty or 40 years ago the story of Europe was basically one of watching the covered wagons roll west, full of pottery, wheat and barley, pushing aside the hunter-gatherers," says Clive Gamble, an archaeologist at the University of Southampton.

...better by not only creating girl group Eden's Crush but also giving it a guaranteed contract on a label owned by the WB's (and TIME's) parent AOL Time Warner. (O-Town was turned down by several labels before signing with J Records, veteran music exec Clive Davis' new endeavor.) Popstars' treatment of the young synergettes makes Making the Band look like a Bill Moyers special; it cheerfully depicts its women as a hungry, hardworking pop juggernaut in leather pants, portraying them with all the hard-nosed pugnaciousness of a Tiger Beat cover. Producers Scott A. Stone...
