Janick afternoon tease

Interscope President/COO John Janick is celebrating "the best of everything," as the stat sheet at left confirms (click the graphic to enlarge it). "I don't think people expected us to move the way we did, and adjust ourselves and put ourselves in as good a spot as I feel we are in this year," he says. "The company, everybody as a whole, moved quickly and got very focused, which is good for the label, the artists and all the people who work here." In the latest of our Top Five Q&As, he discusses the revitalization of the label, how his entrepreneurial background prepared him to bridge the worlds of A&R and marketing, working for Jimmy Iovine and much more; you'll find the whole thing right here.
