...styles, Kid Cudi’s album is an impressive success.Immediately noticeable is Cudi’s close attention to detail, not only sonically but also in the album’s presentation. Calling his liner notes a “scene listing” rather than a track list, he groups songs into five acts: “The End of Day,” “Rise of the Night Terror,” “Taking a Trip,” “Stuck,” and “A New Beginning...

In June, estimators at Forbes magazine pegged Beck's earnings over the previous 12 months at $23 million, a ballpark figure confirmed by knowledgeable sources, and this year's revenues are on track to be higher. The largest share comes from his radio show, which is heard by more than 8 million listeners on nearly 400 stations - one of the five biggest radio audiences in the country.
