THE DEATH OF PRINT JOURNALISM, PART 4,608: In case you missed it, Capitol's 5 Seconds of Summer appear on the cover of our most recent print edition. These Pop wonders from Down Under, who scored a #2 debut on last week's HITS Album Sales Chart with their EP, She Looks So Perfect, are on a headlining tour now and will join fellow Modest Management clients One Direction for stadium dates after that. See our story for details on the rollout—and how this project was delivered by a group of execs who've been friends and collaborators since long before the members of 5SOS were born.

Our Contents page VIP is UMG topper Lucian Grainge, who recently oversaw the orderly reorganization of his East Coast labels, which saw eastern czar Barry Weiss step down and Def Jam, Island and Motown re-established as stand-alone labels. It as all accomplished with the British exec's trademark blend of savvy and sensitivity, which he also call upon to overcome this HITS Contents Shout-Out. (4/14p)
