This is a really great interview Billboard snagged of Gondry and Black at Sundance.
Jonathan Coen snagged a pretty awesome interview with Sean Penn and Eddie Vedder. This is also John Ritter’s first illustration for Billboard.
The feud is over! Kanye WINS! This chart shows that with the right type of stunt, it’s still possible to have an album sell a million in a week. “This could possibly be the coolest chart, ever to run in Billboard.” -Josh Klenert
Atlanta photographer Chris Stanford stopped by our offices shortly after shooting the cover of the “Christmas in July” issue for Billboard. Seriously, one of the nicest professionals I have ever met. I didn’t have as much contact with this project as I would have liked but I’m really happy it came out as well as it did. Chris said that after this trip to New York visiting record labels, he’s going to be booked for a long time.
I made this icon for the Billboard.biz column “Plugged and Unplugged”.
