IB Laffitte/Pharrell

HEAT CHECK: Columbia’s Pharrell Williams, who has the #1 iTunes single in “Happy,” hit songwriter/producer Ryan Tedder, and Tedder’s Interscope band OneRepublic, who scored a massive single of their own in “Counting Stars,” are all managed by Ron Laffitte, who will undoubtedly be adding up his commissions to celebrate Dead Presidents Day. This tidbit was provided by HITS’ industry insider I.B. Bad, who will put it in context Friday morning in his latest column. (2/13p)
