HITS HIGH FIVE: A WEEK OF SMOKE

While the water cooler conversations were about Wild Card games, Donald Trump’s tax return (and, later, his grabbing of something other than cash) and the Save the Truffle movement in Italy, there were carryings on in the music business. Here’s this week’s High Five…

Columbia’s Solange pulled up a chair at #1 on the SPS chart with A Seat at the Table.

The Chainsmokers continue to dominate the weekly Revenue Chart.

Coke endorser Taylor Swift is blocked from playing the Pepsi-sponsored Super Bowl halftime show so she’ll sing the day before the NFL championship for AT&T.

Former NBC Universal Television Chairman Jeff Gaspin joins Primary Wave Entertainment as president.

Beloved music exec Clarence Avant received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
