THE DEATH OF PRINT JOURNALISM: FOLKLORIC EDITION
As her new album smashes into the #1 spot on our Top 50 chart, Taylor Swift has displayed a new artistic direction that seems spot-on for the era. But Tay, who graces the cover of our most recent print edition, probably would’ve gone in a different direction if she’d seen us coming.
Republic boss Monte Lipman, our Contents VIP, notches another huge #1 this week, proving once again that the race goes to the Swift. Add it to a pile of recent successes that also includes The Weeknd, Pop Smoke and perennial giants Drake and Post Malone. Meanwhile, the label’s Gary Spangler-led radio team keeps crushing it. Look for the House of Lipman to see a marketshare bump soon. They just hope they don’t bump into us.
