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...
...young audiences tiring of teeny pop and older listeners turned off by gangsta rap, the new wave of hip-hop-soul singers provides a safe haven: music that's gritty but not dirty, youthful without being adolescent.

Further back, archaeology was harnessed to political ends, subsumed in Nazi Germany to the dogma of Aryan man, and in most other places in Europe to a kind of manifest destiny...
...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...
