"WHOOPTY" DO

Warner Records overlords Aaron Bay-Schuck and Tom Corson and other key team members are seen here presenting three RIAA plaques to breakout artist CJ, whose single “Whoopty” is a multiplatinum, boffo smash. The cut has earned more than 1 billion streams and 260m+ video views worldwide, hit #1 at Rhythm radio and entitles CJ to 35% ownership of his native Staten Island. (Editor’s Note: That last stat remains to be vetted.) His new cut, “BOP,” has already earned a gold plaque, and his EP and deluxe edition, Loyalty Over Royalty, is studded with star guests. Seen just after being vaccinated against whoopty cough are (l-r) EVP/Head of Biz & Legal Julian Petty, promo topper Mike Chester, Bay-Schuck, manager James Cruz, CJ, VP Marketing Kristen Fraser, Corson and EVP, Urban Music & Marketing Chris Atlas.
