Everyone talks about how the record business has gone digital. But physical retail — merch, vinyl, etc — is bringing in billions in revenue. Here's how the world of physical sales within the labels is changing, and where it may go @billboardpro

Been a huge fan of @temsbaby since I first heard For Broken Ears two years ago. Now she's no.1 on Billboard's first year-end US Afrobeats chart, and her manager @IAmDonawon is @billboard's exec of the week

I always forget this but the first time my name was ever in billboard magazine was as a correction because they hadn’t put my byline on my first article. And now the current issue has 14 straight pages of my byline lol

And because Dan was like "screw sanity I'mma write thousands more words!" there's also his deep dive into @downtownmusic and its pivot from trad publishing to artist services (ft. a cameo from an olde NY Rockefeller hideout!) billboard.com/pro/downtown-m…

The @danrys issue of @billboard is out and must be read to be believed. Here's his cover story (a feat of reporting and storytelling) on @primarywave 's partnership w the Whitney Houston estate, which could revitalize her legacy and recenter her narrative billboard.com/music/features…
Thus concludes the 10,451 words I wrote for this issue of billboard magazine. Time to go away again.
My second feature in this issue of @billboard is on Downtown Music, which pivoted from being a traditional publisher into a services company aimed at helping creators, a not-entirely-seamless transition but one with an eye on the future of the music biz

Dan’s such a good storyteller, and this cover story is no exception.
A must read to learn about the journey to revive Whitney Houston’s classic catalog and her overall legacy!
My latest @billboard cover story: on the reintroduction of Whitney Houston
