...already reached #11 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, and is climbing to the top around the world. Alien Ant Farm has rocketed to popularity on the strength of their “Smooth Criminal” cover, while collaborators Destiny’s Child, N’Sync, Britney Spears, and countless other artists have gushed about him as both an idol and role model.

In the expanding worldwide market, Jive has posted the kind of stratospheric sales numbers that the industry hasn't seen since Beatlemania: 60 million for four Backstreet albums, 30 million for two Spears albums and 14 million for 'N Sync's No Strings Attached. The question now is whether Jive can keep its numbers up as its customers--and its key artists--start to outgrow their teen years...
