Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello have one of the hottest records in the world, thanks to their duet, “Señorita” (Island), an inspired pairing of the Canadian troubadour and the Cuban-born pop breakout. Of course, if someone had asked in advance about their appearance on the cover of this rag, they’d have begged not to duet.

If you’ve reached the prominence of the attorneys profiled in this issue, you’re going to find yourself across the table from this man. Jeff Harleston is, of course, General Counsel and EVP of Business & Legal Affairs for UMG, which gives the widely admired exec oversight of every imaginable legal transaction at the company. So he’s probably wondering who signed off on this HITS Contents shout-out. There oughta be a law.
