IGA boss John Janick had a runaway year with top label marketshare, the monster breakout of Olivia Rodrigo and massive chart action for his rich and diverse roster.

He looks forward to Interscope’s big 30th anniversary revels, a huge Super Bowl look and a major Tupac museum exhibit in the new year. One place he’d prefer not to be named? This rag.
