HITS LIST: NEW YEAR,
FAMILIAR FACES

This, the first HITS List of 2019, features music-biz luminaries so iconic that their first names will suffice, in industry circles and beyond: Lucian, Sylvia, Doug, Ariana, Gaga (OK, maybe that’s not her first name, but you get the idea). The Top 10 also includes a pair of dynamic duos, one familiar the other newly minted, as well as a veteran manager with an enviable new client and a veteran executive in an exotic new locale.

And yes, there’s entry #10, a disturbingly timely manifestation of these increasingly disturbing times.
