The new edition of Music Week is out now.
In this week's cover story, Music Week asks Official Charts Company chief executive Martin Talbot to lift the lid on the decision to revamp the singles chart. It's a move designed to speed up the chart, generate more hits and break more artists - and full details are revealed exclusively in this week's magazine.
In our Big Interview, SoundCloud’s director of content partnerships, Raoul Chatterjee, tells Music Week why they want to transform the streaming platform from a great place for sharing music to a great place for sharing music and making money.
Elsewhere, Concord Bicycle Music’s CEO Scott Pascucci takes us inside their acquisition of Imagem Music Group, and Bestival founder Rob Da Bank sheds light on their new event set to take place in Bali next year.
Also in the issue, Phil Collins’ agent, John Giddings, takes us inside the star’s return to the stage for the first time in a decade, ahead of the pop icon’s British Summer Time Hyde set, and Notting Hill Music Group expands to launch new label and management arms.
On the artist front, Nitin Sawhney, the recent winner of the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2017 Ivor Novellos reflects on his ground-breaking career, plus, as Adele’s four shows at Wembley Stadium look set to break attendance records, we look back at her record-breaking 25 campaign.
In addition to all of this, there is an exclusive five-page report on neighbouring rights as Music Week catches up with the main players, takes the pulse of the NR market and looks at what’s coming next…
Mellah is On The Radar, while Virgin Trains and Spandau Ballet occupy our latest Sync Story slot.
As well as all that, there’s also the very latest charts, analysis and news.
