CLT Victorious In Stockholmby Ketih Foster

STOCKHOLM - London basedCLT UK Radio has claimed avictory for its stations inStockholm after the latest offi-cial listener survey by RUAB.The survey shows that for thefirst time, CLT-owned stationBandit 105.5 has overtakenNRJ, the local market leader,among the 15-34 year old audi-ence.

The change comes in thecritical average quarter-hourmeasurement, which shows anaverage of how much of theaudience is listening to anystations in any quarter-hourfrom 06:00 to 18:00. It is thismeasurement which is thebasis for price setting withinbroadcast media.

The French -owned NRJ hasled the field since commercialradio was first measured in1993, but now Bandit has

edged ahead. In overall listen-ing figures, NRJ remains thebiggest commercial station inStockholm, although its audi-ence has fallen from 14.3% inthe previous survey to 11.4%now. Bandit's share remainsat a steady 5.2%.

The quarter-hour figure issignificant and Peter Waak,CLT's managing director inSweden, is delighted. "If smagnificent," he says. "We'vetripled our ratings in ninemonths, and that's before welaunch a marketing campaignfor our new morning show."

Bandit began life as anAmerican -style college rockstation, with DJ's broadcast-ing in English and playinganything from Manic StreetPreachers to Pink Floyd. Thisspring however, after buyingout the station, CLT decided todrop the English language pre-sentation on the basis of audi-

"It's more the changes inmusic policy," he says. "We'renow playing much more newmusic. Bandit has moved fromAOR to a modern rock station.We've got our positioning crys-tal clear. It's new stuff, withan attitude." Waak is con-vinced that finding the rightniche is crucial for survival inStockholm, which with 16 sta-tions, ten of them commercial,fighting over an audience of1.5 million, is recognised asone of the most competitive inEurope.

Euro-dance Needs New Dawn

BetweenThe Lines

by Machgiel Bakker

The one area in which the ContinentalEuropean music industry has man-aged to beat the Anglo-Americans attheir own game has been dance music.Mainland Europe has succeeded inproducing a continuous parade of pro-ducers and artists who are not onlysuccessful on the Continent but alsomake inroads in the UK market and,if we're lucky, the US too.

The music on offer has been able tocross hurdles at radio too-yesterday'sEuropean dance music has become themainstream pop of today. A furthertestament to the current success of

Euro-dance is the forthcoming Amsterdam Dance Event, anew international industry forum created by Dutch musicfoundation Conamus (see story this page).

But what is Euro-dance's future? As our senior writerChristian Lorenz writes on page 13 in his "Made In Germany"dance pop feature, "Sales success still refers to variations onthe much maligned he -raps -she -sings formula of Euro-dance."

And that is exactly where the problem lies. Isn't the genrebusy biting its own tail with its endless variations on the sametheme? Isn't the "boy raps the verses, girl sings the chous" for-mula ready for rejuvenation?

The current Euro-dance scene appeals to a young, singles -buying audience, but the older -age bracket is not yet cateredfor. Also, there is still a lack of artists with long-term careerswho are able to build solid album sales. Europe shouldn't justbe known for its pop dance stable-it should also be settingnew trends. Although there are new developments in Euro-pean dance that create substantial sales (the "dream house"movement headed by Robert Miles, for instance), they aren'tyet capable of creating the kind of stir generated by the UK'strip hop and jungle sub -genres.

It's time for European dance producers and labels to startbuilding long-term careers. The dance community should beright up there with other mainland European acts such as Zuc-chero, Pausini and Ramazzotti that were recently honouredwith an IFPI Platinum Europe award. It's time to build thenext 2 Unlimited.

"Our decision to change toan annual event was made atthe repeated request of numer-ous industry exhibitors," hesays.

Lawes' statement is backedup by hard facts and figures:this year's visitor attendancetopped 29.000 from 122 coun-tries-up from 1995's 18.000plus figure.

AMSTERDAM - Top UK produc-ers Rollo and Sister Blissheadline the list of speakers atthe first Amsterdam DanceEvent, the new internationalindustry forum created byDutch music foundation Cona-mus.

The daytime programme ofthe October 17-19 conventionfeatures eight panels andthree territory focus meetings.Topics cover the whole spec-trum of the dance music busi-ness from A&R, distributionand promotion to breakingacts in foreign markets. Terri-tories under special scrutinyare the UK, Germany, Hol-land, Belgium and the US.

Key industry figures suchas Strictly Rhythm label man-ager Europe Phil Cheesemanand R&S Records MD RenaatVandepapeliere will revealtheir vision of the future ofdance music during the threeday event. International topDJs including Jellybean Ben-itez are expected to share theirinsights into current trendswith the participants of theevent in a dedicated DJ panel.

An innovation this yearwere small one -hourlunchtime workshops, whichhe says, "proved extremelypopular, and I think you cancount on our doing those nextyear."

Another development in the"user-friendly" conferenceplanning was the success oftwo-day conference registra-tions. "I think the concept oftwo-day registrations is catch-

RMC Prepares For Profitsby Emmanuel Legrand

PARIS - Full -service stationRMC is planning to return toprofitability within the nextthree years following a drasticrestructuring plan, cost -savingmeasures and a more dynamicscheduling programme.

RMC administratorGeorges Vanderchmitt says heexpects losses in the region ofFfr100 million (app. US$19.2million) this year, but thanksto a Ffr 200 million restructur-ing plan he foresees that RMCwill break even before the endof the decade.

"This has been a veryimportant restructuring, prob-ably the most important in thehistory of the station", saidVanderchmitt. "We havechanged working habits, intro-duced new priorities and rede-fined our schedule. This mod-

ernisation is part of a strategyto show that even in a difficultsituation, a group like ourscan develop with a full -servicestation and thematic networks-Radio Nostalgie and Mont-martre FM."

Vanderchmitt says hisshort term goal is to jumpfrom a 3.5% audience share to4% and be "the undisputedleader in the south". Heexpects Nostalgie to increaseits current 5.2% status andMontmartre, which targets the50-65 age group, to reach 2%."Altogether, the stations of thegroup must reach a nationalaudience of 11%."

Part of this strategy is toreaffirm the nature and identi-ty of the RMC as a full -servicestation with a mix of news andentertainment programmingand a strong grip in southernFrance, according to schedul-

Local Station Off Airby Christian Lorenz

FREIBURG - German Telekomswitched off the link betweenRadio Dreyeckland's Freiburgheadquarters and a local trans-mitter on September 15 astransmission fees for the pastten months are still outstand-

The costs refer to the trans-mission of the station's Freiburgprogramme for local broadcastin the neighbouring communityof Schopfheim. Radio Dreyeck-land MD Michael Menzel is pos-itive that state media authorityLfK is liable to cover the fulltransmission costs of DM 21.200(app. US$13.000) according tostate media law.

A temporary injunctionagainst LfK as requested byRadio Dreyeckland was dis-missed by the administrativecourt in Stuttgart on August 20.Menzel has taken the case to thecourt of appeal and expects a

decision by the end of Septem-ber. LfK president Eugen Volzpoints out that the LfK will con-tinue to subsidise the actuallocal broadcast. The bone of con-tention is that Dreyecklandbroadcasts the same programmefrom two transmitters. "State-wide, non-commercial broadcast-ing chains are clearly not desir-able in the eyes of thelegislation," says Volz. "An inde-pendent production of local pro-grammes by Radio Dreyecklandin Schopfheim on the other handwould justify subsidies."

LfK legal adviser AngelaFrank explains that a local pro-gramme does not have to beextensive to be recognised byUK "It would be sufficient forthe station to produce andbroadcast certain parts of theprogramme locally," says Frank."Repeats of local contributionsthroughout the programme area possible way to economiseoperations in Schopfheim."

ContactCollaboratesby Marc Maes

BRUSSELS - The collaborationbetween Radio Contact Eupenand former Radio Internationalin Elsenborn, now reformed asRadio Contact Eifel is the firststep towards a fully fledgedprivate radio network in theGerman speaking area of Bel-gium.

Radio Contact's pro-grammes also cross the Ger-man border where the signal isprocessed on the cable networkin Wurselen.

"Thanks to a rock -orientedEHR format we have no com-petitors here," explains RadioContact Eupen MD AndreGoebels, "and the current col-laboration makes us the onlyprivate station broadcastingboth in the north and south ofthe German speaking region."

Goebels says that the cur-rent one KW antenna powerexpands the station's potentialaudience in Holland and Ger-many. "But we are limited toone KW, not only by the region-al legislation, but also becausewe cause frequency interfer-ence in Holland. Radio ContactEifel now broadcasts on 60Wand we plan to boost it to500W," says Goebels, addingthat he is currently negotiatingto sign up two other stations tothe new network. The regionalgovernment is planning areview of the current medialaw which will allow privatesboth more antenna power aswell as access to the cable net-work.

"The upgrading of the exist-ing radio legislation is set forthe end of this year and wehave submitted a proposal tothe radio council" says aspokesman for media ministerKarl Heinz Lamberts. "Thedecree includes networks inour region as individual sta-tions cannot serve the wholeregion.

M& M R EPOR T INTERNATIONAL RADIO

This Is The World Calling...International broadcasters are facing major upheaval as they attempt to adapt tothe post -Cold War environment and grapple with the radical changes in broad-cast delivery methods. With changes at both the BBC World Service and RadioFrance International high on the news agenda in recent months, Andy Sennitttakes a look at the current state of Europe's external radio services.

HE '90s have witnessedsignificant changes inthe pattern of interna-tional broadcasting inEurope. One station,

Radio Berlin International, disappearedaltogether along with the GermanDemocratic Republic. US -backed RadioFree Europe and Radio Liberty havehad their budgets slashed and theirheadquarters moved. Other stations inEastern Europe have cut back on theiroutput as the realities of operating in amarketeconomy begin to bite.

Meanwhile, many internationalbroadcasters in western Europe havealso had to reassess their role as thejustification for their continued publicfunding has increasingly been ques-tioned by politicians. Services aimed atlisteners abroad are easy targets forfinancial savings, since the cuts do notaffect the people whose votes keep thepoliticians in office.

TV CompetitionIn parallel with this reassessment oftheir raison d'etre, the internationalbroadcasters are also facing other chal-lenges: listeners, especially in otherEuropean countries, are much moresophisticated than they were, even asrecently as 10 years ago. A wider choiceof domestic radio and satellite TV isproviding much stiffer competition forlisteners. Simply informing potentiallisteners of an international station'sexistence is quite a challenge... radioand TV listings magazines rarely men-tion international broadcasts, and thestations cannot afford to advertise intheir target areas.

Many international broadcasters,especially those in the former Easternbloc, have also had to improve their pro-gramming. The old style of reading

(advertisement)

press reviews and political commen-taries in a bored voice simply isn'ttaken seriously by people who have justseen CNN's live pictures of a US bomb-ing raid on downtown Baghdad. Tocompete, international stations nowneed a distinctive identity. For exam-ple, Belgium's Radio Vlaanderen Inter-national, with a relatively weak signalin many parts of the world, succeeds inattracting a small but loyal audiencewith its informal style and a strongemphasis on personalities. With an on -

air team of just four people, their voicesare instantly recognizable to RVI lis-

Radio Netherlands' satellite uplink in Luxembourg.

teners. Radio Netherlands has devel-oped a reputation for award -winningdocumentary programmes. RadioFrance International is known for itsexcellent news programming, especiallyin its coverage of Africa.

Continuous PresenceA major problem for internationalbroadcasters is that, with a few excep-tions such as BBC World Service andRadio France International, they do nothave a continuous presence on the dial.Smaller stations may only broadcast inEnglish for half an hour a day, repeat-ed at various times to maximise theaudience. Stations which use short-wave also have to change frequenciesoften, occasionally at short notice. Noneof this makes it easy for potential lis-teners to find them and tune in regu-larly.

International stations have tried toraise their profile in several ways, withvarying degrees of success. These days,broadcasting from one European coun-try to another on shortwave is nolonger sufficient to reach the whole tar-

get audience. There simply aren't asmany potential shortwave listenersavailable. People who once used short-wave as their primary means of stayingin touch with international events arenow likely to have satellite TV. Anotherproblem is technical: shortwave is sim-ply not suitable for broadcasting oververy short distances of a few hundredkilometres. People who might oncehave accepted fading and interferenceto get information are no longer pre-pared to do so.

Swiss Radio International (SRI) wasthe first international broadcaster in

Europe to take the bolddecision to abandon short-wave as its primary meansof programme deliverywithin the continent. Byhiring two mono audiotransponders on the Astrasatellite, SRI has a coupleof channels available 24hours a day, which permitsit to deliver programmingwith a much better techni-cal quality, repeated morefrequently. Even so, infor-mal research carried out bythe World Radio TV Hand-book suggests that theaudience for these servicesis still very. small. Manypeople who have an Astrasystem are not even awarethat they can receive radioservices as well as TVchannels. The official policyof Astra operating companySES is that it is up to the

individual radio stations to do theirown publicity- but the internationalbroadcasters don't have the budget forit.

A different approach to solving theaudibility problem has been taken bythe World Radio Network, run by someex -BBC World Service personnel. WRNrents audio transponders from Astra,and sells blocks of airtime to individualinternational stations. Most stationstake 30 minutes or one hour a day, anda service has been set up using a differ-ent satellite covering North America.WRN has supplemented these with anaudio service on the Internet, whichpermits stations to reach millions ofpotential listeners without the need formajor capital investment. However, sofar WRN's services are only available tostations with programming in English.A German language version has beenmooted, but as yet has not come tofruition.

One station which has undergonemajor re -structuring in the '90s isRadio Netherlands (RN). In the pastfew years RN has seen its output

reduced from eight languages to five,resulting in around 70 job losses in Hil-versum. RN has now adopted a multi -pronged strategy of programme deliv-ery. A shortwave service in English toEurope has been retained, albeit atlunchtime when many potential listen-ers are unavailable. Announcementsstating that the station was consideringdropping this shortwave service causedfloods of protest from around Europe.

Superpower TransmitterTo reach the UK effectively in theevening hours, medium wave is seen asa better option. Radio Netherlands hasbeen trying for many years to getaccess to one of the Dutch domestictransmitters for this purpose, but thedomestic broadcasters have beenunwilling to give them up. So as anexperiment, a few years ago RN startedrenting airtime on a superpower trans-mitter in Kaliningrad, Russia.

Reception in the UK was adequate,but the frequency was adjacent to anew Dutch commercial broadcaster,thus causing problems for some listen-ers in southern England. A better solu-tion has now been found, and at theend of March RN moved its medi-umwave service to the high powertransmitter of RTL on 1440kHz, whichused to carry Radio Luxembourg's Eng-lish service. This has proved very suc-cessful.

Besides the mediumwave service,Radio Netherlands also rents twotransponders on the Astra satellite,and takes two hours a day of airtimevia the World Radio Network. Thissummer, it also experimented with asatellite TV service for the first time.So far, the station has not decided toembrace DAB, primarily because thereare as yet no affordable DAB receivers.As a public broadcaster, RN has to beable to demonstrate that there is anaudience for everything it does.

Another part of the strategy adoptedby Radio Netherlands is programmeplacement on local stations. This ismost widely developed in Latin Ameri-ca, where local broadcasters relay RN'sSpanish service output in whole orpart. The satellite feed used for thispurpose already existed in order tocarry programming to RN's shortwaverelay station in the NetherlandsAntilles, so minimal capital investmentwas needed.

Co -ProductionsFinally, RN has been experimentingwith co -productions involving publicbroadcasters in other European coun-tries. One example is a series of pro-grammes about Europe's minority lan-guages. Working with BBC RadioScotland, the two stations providedeach other with material aboutFriesian and Gaelic respectively. Eachstation packaged the material to suitits own audience. This role is one whichRadio Netherlands is keen to develop,enabling the station's output to reach awider audience without the need for lis-teners to tune away from their localstation.

Programme content on RadioNetherlands is language and targetdependent, explains RN's director of

The same istrue of the listener profile in LatinAmerica. Radio Netherlands uses asnappy style that blends in with thelocal stations in the region."

Programmes in Dutch to targets out-side Europe are designed as news brief-ings, covering events in Europe over thelast 24 hours and Dutch developmentsin particular. The service to Europe wasrecently revised to appeal to twogroups, explains Marks.

for this group, direct via shortwave, viathe Astra satellite system and via localFM stations such as Radio Benidorm."

The other Group RN aims at, saysMarks, are the shorter -term Dutch holi-day makers. "Each year, around 5.2million Dutch leave the country on holi-day. During the summer months, RadioNetherlands provides a service givingthe latest news and weather, plus cov-erage of major sports events such asDutch football and the Tour de Francecycle race. The latest figures show anaudience of around 1.7 million.

Improved satellite reception plus a bet-ter targeted programme means thatRadio Netherlands reaches more of itsnationals in Europe than most otherexternal services on the continent".

Some stations, such as Belgium'sRadio Vlaanderen International, havedecided to continue using shortwave forworldwide coverage, but has no plansto replace its ageing transmitters. It isare hoping that it will be able to keepits existing equipment operating untilsuch time as it is surplus to require-ments. Unlike some stations, whichhave either built overseas relay sta-tions or take airtime on the transmit-ters of another shortwave station closerto the target area, RVI tries to coverthe whole world from its three short-wave transmitters in Belgium. Thismeans RVI's signals are often weakerand less reliable than their more fortu-nate competitors. However, withinEurope RVI does have the advantage ofaccess to a local mediumwave transmit-

ter for evening coverage,and also uses the Astrasatellite.

One international broad-caster, Radio Austria Inter-national, has just started aDAB service. RAI's repre-sentative told a conferenceof international broadcast-ers in Amsterdam that as asmall station, RAI knows itcannot compete in range ofprogramming with thelarge broadcasters, but thatby being first to embraceDAB it hopes to establish aniche market. Meanwhile,RAI has no plans to reduceits shortwave output in theforeseeable future.

The multiplicity of waysin which the different broadcastersaround Europe are delivering their pro-grammes in 1996 reflects the absenceof a clear trend towards one dominantmedium. Radio is still a long waybehind TV in terms of analogue satel-lite delivery, and it is quite possiblethat some stations will eventuallymake the leap from shortwave to DABwithout the intermediate step of ana-logue. This assumes that affordableDAB receivers will come onto the mar-ket and sell in significant numbers.Until that happens, few internationalbroadcasters will be able to justifyDAB.

As for shortwave, the consensus atlast year's Towards 2000 conference forinternational broadcasters was thatmost countries will continue to useshortwave for at least another 20-30years. It may be technically possible toabandon shortwave much sooner, butsuch a move would also mean broad-casters abandoning the listeners inmost need of their services: those in theThird World with inadequate localmedia. Few public service broadcasterswould willingly put technical conve-nience ahead of genuine need. Theirchallenge will be to make sure that thepoliticians on whom they rely for fund-ing share the same altruistic motivestowards people who will never vote forthem.

RFI: Excellence In Newsby Emmanuel Legrand

The new international order bornfrom the collapse of the Berlin wallcan count among its casualties allthe international radio services cre-ated by most Western countries inorder to counterbalance local propa-ganda and extend the influence ofthe "free world".

Radio France International(RFI) was, along with the BBCWorld Service, Deutsche Welle andVoice of America, one of the keyplayers in this war of the airwaves.Created after the second WorldWar, the service has establisheditself through the years a leadingpresence in Africa, and its newsreports were heavily followed ineastern European countries, partic-ularly Poland, during the Sovietera.

According to the new presidentof RFI, Jean -Paul Cluzel, the end ofthe cold war doesn't mean thatthese services should stop operat-ing. But they must refocus their pri-orities and redefine their content.

"With the change of regimes inEastern Europe, and in South andLatin America, the role of interna-tional radio services has becomeless obvious," he says. "These coun-tries have increasingly developedtheir own media tools, which havebecome more and more diversified,reliable and pluralist. Local mediausually covers the local politicalscene very well. Therefore, our func-tion as international services, whichwas to deliver news that wasn'tbiased or partial, is no longer rele-vant. Listeners find what they needlocally and we can't compete withlocal outlets on local news."

This new situation has forced allthe international broadcasters totake a close look at what they canoffer that is not available locally.

Cluzel says his analysis of thesituation has led him in one precisedirection. Says Cluzel, "Our belief,which I think is shared both by theBBC and Deutsche Welle, is that wehave one asset-the quality of ournews coverage. This is what willcause listeners to tune in to our pro-grammes. It is only through anexcellence in news that we willguarantee our future. Our strengthis our capacity to deliver interna-tional coverage with a global per-spective. We have 250 Paris -basedjournalists, 130 of which are of for-eign origin, and a very dense net-work of correspondents around theworld. Few organisations can equalthis powerful network."

Based on this belief, Cluzel hasdecided to drastically change thelook of RFI's traditional schedule.This month, RFI's full -service out-put will divide into three separateservices. RFI 1 (broadcast on short-wave and satellite) will be an all -news service in French, with newsbulletins interspersed with maga-

zines and talk -shows. RFI 2 willoffer syndicated programmes tolocal broadcasters in local lan-guages, while RFI 3, a music -onlyservice centered on French with anemphasis on world music, will beavailable only as a satellite -deliv-ered service.

"With RFI 1 and RFI 2, our goalis to give a thorough and globalvision of the world, as an indepen-dent source of news," explainsCluzel. "This way, we can be faith-ful to our mission, which is to pre-sent the best of French society andthe diversity of the world. And ourlocal partners can build a completeschedule by mixing RF1 1 and/orRFI 2 with RFI 3."

Cluzel says his goal is to deliveringredients from which local broad-casters can make their own recipe.

To be evenmore effi-cient, Cluzelsays materialcan be deliv-ered in locallanguages,with shortnews pieces

that can be easily fit into generalnews programmes. "We aim to be asort of audio news agency for localstations," he says.

RFI has also embarked upon amajor development strategy in themain regions of the world to begranted air space on local FM fre-quencies. The president of RFIJean -Paul Cluzel says being on FMgives RFI the opportunity to becompetitive "on equal terms withlocal broadcasters". So far, RFI isavailable on FM 24 hours a day in25 cities around the world, and inparts of 35 other cities.

Cluzel says the fate of the maininternational services is tied. Theirsuccess will be based on their capac-ity to take into account the geopolit-ical changes around the world anddeliver programmes that comple-ment local programming.

But he doesn't see the other ser-vices as competitors. Cluzel ranksRFI as probably the third largestinternational service after the BBCWorld Service and Voice Of Ameri-ca, and on par with DeutscheWelle-but for him, the competitionis on every market with local TVchannels, press and radio stations.

"There are no longer protectedregions," observes Cluzel, referringmainly to Africa, where RFI is tra-ditionally strong. "In each andevery country, we are fighting withlocal media outlets. Competition iseverywhere. We are now part of acompetitive world and have to oper-ate according to the rules of theradio business. What will count isquality programming, and ourcapacity to sell it abroad. It mightnot be the last chance for interna-tional services to survive, but it'sprobably one of our last chances."

M & M MUSIC NEW RELEASES

SinglesSTEVE WYNN

The Way You Punish Me - Enemy a/r/ehrPRODUCER: Wally GagelWynn is the master of bittersweettales. His dark cinematic lyrics ("I lovethe way you punish me) contrast withhis knack for writing catchy melodies.This mid -tempo ballad with its slowbuild up of drama and jangling guitarpicking is actually quite radio -friendly.If Garbage and Alanis Morissette canfind their way into the charts withangst -ridden soul searching, thenWynn should have a stab at it too.

HOOVER2Wicky - ColumbiaPRODUCERS: HooverThis excellent single from Belgian band

ehr/a/r

Hoover (which made it to Stealing BeautyOST of Bertolucci's new film) sounds likea classic the moment you hear it. Thistrip hoppy track with female vocals and atwangy guitar riff contains samples fromBurt Bacharach's Walk On By, making itslightly reminiscent of Urge Overkill'sNeil Diamond cover for the Pulp FictionOST.

SUSANNA HOFFSAll I Want - London ehr/r/a/acePRODUCER: Jack Joseph PuigHoffs is back with a great version of IanBroudie's composition, which should notautomatically have her brandished asACE material. This mid -tempo balladhas gritty guitars, beautiful harmoniesand dramatic string arrangements. Hercomposition Those Days Are Over is float-ier, dreamier west coast pop with a psy-chedelic Mazzy Star touch, an approachshe continues with her subdued folkyversion of Donovan's Catch The Wind.

DEUSLittle Arithmetics - Island a/r/acePRODUCER: Eric Drew FeldmanThis first single from their new album isextremely radiofriendly. It's basis is ajazzy drum shuffle, up -beat backgroundvocals and cheesy organs. Only the gui-tars show signs of wanting to break outof the easy listening mold, but they neverdo. You could actually play this on theACE format.

AlbumsLAURA PAUSINILe Cose Che Vivi - CGD/East West ehr/acePRODUCERS: Alfredo Cerruti, Dado ParisiniPausini may have matured, but it hasn'taffected her sound. The first single Incan-cellabile is a vintage Pausini ballad withstrong vocals and dramatic choruses. Themore uptempo Angeli Nel Blu is anothersingle candidate. Its soulful organ, funkywah wah guitars and beautiful melodiesmake it a great radio track. She getsmore bluesy in the melancholy mid -temporock track Un Giorno Senza Te, whichshould charm ACE programmers. Theyalso might want to give La Voce a spinbecause of its anthemic drama and prettychoir background vocals.

DIMITRI FROM PARISSacrebleu - YellowPRODUCER: DimitriThis album is an exercise in Frenchcheesiness, think of Mr. Hulot and youllcome pretty close. Dimitri From Paris (nohe's not a pimp, he's a DJ) has his act fig-ured out completely, from the fake '50simagery to the vinyl scratches and echoe-ing marimbas. It gets interesting whenhe starts blending the lounge sound withtrip hop beats in Reveries. The dancebeats pick up in Dirty Larry, which has aMission Impossible kind of radio appeal.

MC LYTE

Bad As I Wanna B- Elektra ehr/dPRODUCERS: Jermaine Dupri, MC LyteThis fly girl can get pretty nasty, butshe has dosed her current single KeepOn, Keepin' On with a silk sleek dose ofR&B vocals. The Darrell Delite remixfeatures even lusher vocals, but thebeats are more stripped down, notexactly radio material. The other radiocandidate is the sexy Two Seater, whichis even a smoother mix of rap and R&B,not surprisingly produced by R. Kelly.The overall tone of the album is darker,doing what rap does best, reportingabout the current state of the black com-munities. The chilling tales of BustaRhymes come to mind. Best tracks inthis vein are the skeptic DruglordSuperstar and the kaleidoscopic Zodiac.

M & M MUSIC ARTISTS IN PROGRESS

Sovory Picks Up Sheryl Crow Support Slotby Thessa Mooij

AMSTERDAM - Blending funk, soul androck with the discipline of aclassically trained musicianhas earned young singer/song-writer Sovory the praise of EricClapton. The artist formallyknown as God saw himperform in Los Angeles andconsequently called the A&Moffice to say that "Sovory is thebest new artist I've heard inyears." Clapton is not the onlyone who enthuses about thisnew artists, as Sovory wasasked to support Sheryl Crow's "

upcoming European tour.Live performances are the

key to Sovory, who enhanceshis gospel fuelled OtisRedding -like intensity withaggressive rock guitars. "Ireally go for the energy exchange," hecomments on his recent series ofEuropean showcases. "First impressionswill last. You never know who's in theaudience." He doesn't know for a factClapton saw his House of Blues show:"there are conflicting stories circulating."But with A&M making him a majorworldwide priority, he is backed by morethan one man's opinion. As head of inter-national marketing Dennis Plougexplains, "We all think he can become amega star, including the local offices. Wegot the reactions we wanted from

Scandinavia, Germany, Holland and theUK, because he's such an amazingperformer. Germany especially is going

for it in a big way. He stole the show attheir sales convention and they wanthim for promotion for a whole week."

Adding Flavour ToProgrammingThe first single from the self -titled albumis Did You Mean What You Said, apowerful soul ballad with plenty of rockgrit, which has already picked up airplayin Poland, Switzerland and Denmark.Polydor Denmark initiated a successfulcross -promotion campaign with

Copenhagen -based EHR station TheVoice, which played the single daily andgave away tickets for the showcase. Head

of music Eik Frederiksenexplains why he stuck hisneck out for a relativenewcomer. "Before researchi-ng an artist, we sometimeswant to try them out. We werethe first station inScandinavia to play AlanisMorissette or Deep BlueSomething. This way you cangive your programming alittle flavour, instead of doingit like a robot." What per-suaded Frederikson to putSovory into the spotlight isthe fact that it's "great radiomusic. It's a good. mixture ofsoul, blues and rock, the kindof music that will touchpeople and it's well -produced.

You could play it after Eric Clapton, butit's not really suitable to play after SpiceGirls."

As PolyGram Denmark productmanager Kjeld Stefansen comments"radio is really important now. With thatkind of catchy pop and soul crossover,you can go anywhere. You could startwith a young target audience and thenmove on to the adult -oriented market.His live performance is more edgycompared to the radio -friendly album.Right now, we won't exploit the live side."Italian product manager Giuseppina

Bianchi reports enthusiastic reactionsfrom national network Radio Deejay."The radio programmers just resumedtheir work. Usually the supply of newsingles to them stops in August, butthanks to the sampler in Music & Media[issue 34], Radio Deejay put Sovoryimmediately on the playlist. Afterplaying it for two weeks, the stationstarted getting quite a lot of phone callsfrom listeners. Usually, Radio Deejay isconsidered to be a trendsetter, so hope-fully other stations will follow."

Fashion Victim?As Dennis Ploug points out, phase two isto promote Sovory in Southern Europe.Bianchi is currently setting up ashowcase for him. "We're hoping toorganise something for the fashion weekin Milan, when a lot of parties will takeplace. At the moment, there is an uncon-firmed acoustic performance scheduledfor Sovory." Meanwhile, Sovory himselfis not exactly twiddling his thumbs. "I'vewritten 300 songs so far and I've justsigned a 50/50 co -publishing deal withEMI Publishing. But I'm not focused onmoney, I want to be making my music intwenty years time."

Muscular Males Are Doing It For ThemselvesBoy and girl groups generally consist ofseveral 'types' to broaden their appeal tothe raging hormones of the teen market.But recently two musclebound malesingers with a preference for hip hopand R&B have claimed a large part of itfor themselves. Peter Andre boasts twosingles in the EHR Top 40, while OMChas just entered its top 10.

Peter Andre Moves Onby Chris Marlowe

LONDON - Working with the teen mediawithout getting stereotyped is notoriouslydifficult, but it's starting to look asthough Peter Andre might have crackedit. It takes more than a niche following toscale the heights his debut singleMysterious Girl has reached. The factthat he looks like a muscular male modelhas helped put him on teen magazinecovers before his record was evenreleased in some territories, butMushroom Records is convinced that hissuccess is mainly due to radio. As Andrehimself observes, "It has been anultimate goal to cross over to all agegroups, and radio has been a majorcontributor."

Mushroom international marketingdirector Nina Frykberg agrees. Airplayand sales chart positions in the UK,Germany, Holland, Italy, Austria,Ireland, Switzerland and Scandinaviaprove her point.

Now comes the tricky bit of moving

on. Frykberg explains that in the UK,Mushroom decided to delete the platinumMysterious Girl in the interests ofAndre's long term development. "I'm surewe'd still be top 20 now, but that's not thepoint. We're building a career, not tryingto make money off a single," she says.

Album track Flava was chosen as thefollow-up. "The heart and soul of PeterAndre is R&B," Frykberg believes. "Flavais much more in keeping with his album.I think people will allow Peter to showother sides of him and break through."

Polynesian OMC MakesHis Late Summer Markby Sally Stratton

LONDON - OMC's How Bizarre was achart topper in its native New Zealandand Australia earlier this year and it'snow turning into a late summer hitacross Europe. PolyGram international

sonic

qKwmarketing manager Stefan Andreassonthinks, "it's due to the summer period.Normally during the summer timenothing really happens in Europe untillate August, which is what we can seenow. It's a very catchy, typical summersong." The single has already chartedin Germany and across Scandinavia.Singer Pauly Fuemana is currentlydoing promotion in Holland, Sweden,

Denmark, Germany, Switzerland andPortugal.

So far How Bizarre is the only trackavailable but the same titled album,will be released on October 14. "Wehave at least two or three more hitsingles on the album, it's very strong,"says Andreasson. Back home in NewZealand, OMC have since had a furtherhit single with Right On, but the next

European single is likely tobe On The Run for which thegroup has have just shot avideo in Melbourne.

Asked if the Australasiansuccess of the poppy hip hopof How Bizarre has affectedthe European marketingstrategy, Andreasson replies,"I don't think those marketsaffect Europe that much. Thefact that MTV has playedOMC heavily has helped alot." Fuemana, who has givenhis impressive collection ofAustralasian awards to hisgrandmother, is simply happyto be in demand outside his

homeland. "I'm supposed to be the onlyPolynesian person ever to climb thisfar. In New Zealand history alone I'vereally made my mark, so my nanna'shappy, my mum's happy and I'mhappy."

...And The (Euro)Beat Goes OnCall it Euro-dance, happy rave or whatever,commercial dance music still reigns on theContinent after the best part of five years.Often declared dead by its critics, dance pop"Made In Germany" enjoys considerable popularityabroad. Christian Lorenz reports.

SINCE Music & Media'sApril 1995 report on com-mercial dance music madein Germany, hip hop haspushed Euro-dance from

top slots in the European popcharts-but the genre is still goingstrong.

From the Fugees (Columbia) tounlikely chart candidates such asBone Thugs -N -Harmony (Ruth-less/Epic), smooth hip hop tracks aretop sellers in 1996. Compliments toWarner Music Germany marketingdirector Bernd Dopp and EMI Elec-trola director A&RlmarketingMarco Quirini for predicting thehip hop trend back in April 1995.

Jungle briefly reared its headwhen it employed conventionalvocals on Goldie's Timeless (Metal-headz/ Virgin) but quickly disap-peared into commercial insignifi-cance again. Warner Music labelmanager Downbeat Norbert Rud-nitzky was right when he predictedthat complex rhythms and lack oftraditional melodies will bar jungletracks from the pop charts. Conse-quently, Downbeat's latest signing isBirmingham's dub/house pioneer actRockers HiFi.

Unlike the situation in the UK,the house revival has not made sig-nificant inroads into other Europeanmarkets yet. Sales success stillrefers to variations on the muchmaligned he -raps -she -sings formulaof Euro-dance. Culture Beat (Dan-cepool/ Columbia), Mr. President(Club Culture/Warner) and newcom-er Captain Jack (EMI Electrola)enjoy considerable success in Music& Media's European charts. Theyare followed closely by happy raveacts like Scooter (ClubTools/Edel)and U96 (Motor).

It is noteworthy that labels estab-lished during the early days of thedance craze continue to be the keyplayers in the commercial dancemarket. None of the five new dancelabels featured in the April 1995report has had a major hit up tonow. Discore (Virgin), Kosmodrom(Polydor), Monkee Bizz (East West),Randy (WEA) and Suburban (Motor)have yet to catch the attention of therecord buying public. Nevertheless,new labels keep sprouting up.

Launching A New LabelHow is a new dance label establishedon the market? Bela Cox, labelmanager of Epic's new dance imprintEpidrome, maps out a step-by-stepapproach. "For the first six months

we will focus on getting progressivedance music like house and garageinto the clubs and work closely withclub DJs. After these six months ofgroundwork I would like to see ourfirst crossover track entering the popcharts."

Cox seems to have the industrybackground necessary to launch adance label. He has just left LogicRecords after three years as A&Rman. Prior to joining Logic heworked with key techno DJ/producerSven Vfith as A&R man at Vath'sHarthouse label. Logic has been suc-cessful in transforming hit singlesinto steady album sales. Label starsSnap sold between 16-17 millionalbums worldwide says Cox. Hebelieves that this is the key to sur-vival for any beginning dance label."My aim for the next business year isto pick one new act and start devel-oping it into an album act."

In the long run albums willaccount for 20% of Epidrome'sreleases, if everything goes accord-ing to Cox's plan. The new label willnot directly compete with SonyMusic's established Dancepoolimprint which is now part of theColumbia division. While Dancepoolfocuses on domestic signings,"Epidrome will keep an eye onwhat's happening in the UK and theUS," comments Cox. He estimatesthat up to 80% of the label's releaseswill be licensed from abroad.

Sales for Epidrome's first handfulof releases by format will averagesome 3.000 vinyl 12" and 2-3.000 CDsingles, he estimates. Major radiostations included in the Media Con-trol single chart panel will beplugged by Epic radio promoters. Inthe long run, Epidrome plans to setup its own promotion department toservice specialist dance stations andprogrammes.

Crossing BordersWhile Epidrome looks across thechannel for new talent, the estab-lished competition fares well byexporting German dance actsabroad. Mr. President, Culture Beatand Captain Jack are accomplishedpop acts who offer the whole pack-age of music, show and fun.

"Positive personal vibes of theperforming artists are essential forthe success of any commercial danceact," says Warner Music Germanyinternational exploitation managerPamela Harz. "Street wear andleisure activities' apparently knowno borders. Musical tastes, on the

other hand, can differ considerably."Warner banks on live perfor-

mances to promote an act like Mr.President abroad. Harz does notthink much of re -mixing tracksspecifically for export. "The artistsand producers aim at a high stan-dard of production from the start.We then offer a handful of mixes oneach single to cater to a variety oftastes. The key is to get your act onstage."

Live gigs and TV appearancesare usually preceded by radio pro-motion to set the ball rolling. Warn-er's promotion campaign for Mr.President in Hungary shows howcompact a successful marketingplan can be. In week 23 Warnerreleased the single Coco Jambo."One week later we released thealbum We See The Same Sun andflew the group in for a week of liveperformances, TV shows and auto-graph sessions at major retailers."In week 25 We See The Same Sunreached number 1 in the Hungarianalbum charts.

The prominence of Finland as amarket for commercial dance musicfrom Germany is not accidental."The German music TV station Vivais apparently able to break recordsin Finland," observes Sony MusicGermany international exploitation

manager Ian Graham. "Finnishkids don't understand the VJs butthe music seems to go down well."

Viva promotion manager Marti-na Bedzent confirms that the sta-tion can be received in Finland viaEutelsat. She adds, "Unfortunatelywe have no indication of audience

Surprise EntryCanada is a bit of a surprise entrybut it works well for Culture Beat.Graham says, "The Canadian dancemarket is very similar to our domes-tic market. It's weird, you can walkinto the dance department of anyCanadian record store and you feelbeamed straight back into Frank-furt."

The Canadian fascination withEuro-dance has begun to spread intothe US. "Euro-dance features strong-ly in clubs and radio stations in theborder region with Canada," saysGraham. "Chicago and Buffalo areprominent markets. But there arebig enclaves in Texas and Miami aswell."

Euro-dance has to fight a numberof prejudices in the US market. It isstill considered as plastic pop andperceived as music for gay discos."Dance music is linked with matingrituals, and the fast Euro-beats havetheir own attraction in this context,"says Graham. "I hear that CultureBeat's 1993 hit Mr. Vain is still themost popular soundtrack in NewYork strip clubs."

While initial resistance in the USappears to be wearing down, the UKremains a hit-or-miss affair forEuro-dance. "BBC Radio 1 is quitesimply the gate into the UK mar-ket," explains Graham. "If you don'tmake Radio 1 with your track youcan forget it."

The market for commercial dancemusic rotates around singles andcompilations. That makes it veryfast. "To survive in this environmentyou have to discover and marketnew acts on a continuous basis,"believes Graham. Artists like Scat -man John (Iceberg/BMG) or E-Rotic (Intercord) appear out of theblue with novelty dance hits. Follow-ing up the initial success is more dif-ficult.

Take Captain Jack for instance.Rapper Franky Gee and singerLiza Da Costa entered the popcharts flirting with a military image."The image is based on Franky beingthe tough army guy pulling loads ofpretty girls," says EMI Electrolainternational marketing managerAnja Bauermann. She points outthat this image is inflated to cartoonstatus, rather than appealing to seri-ous military nuts. "We have identi-fied Captain Jack's core target groupas 10-15 year -old boys." What willhappen if the novelty of the cartoonhero wears off with the act's secondalbum?

Musically speaking, Captain Jackis backed up by producer UdoNiebergall, who is a seasoned vet-eran of the Euro-dance scene.According to Bauermann the realasset of Gee and Da Costa are theirperformer qualities. "Both are disci-plined top performers with greatpotential. They are not limited tothis particular image." A secondalbum is scheduled for release next

spring. "We already have a numberof ideas for the future developmentof Captain Jack," reveals Bauer-mann. "But it is too early to disclosemore details yet."

Even an established album artistmight need the occasional facelift."Two and a half years ago CultureBeat sold millions," says Graham."Since then we had to lower oursights somewhat." Devastated by thedeath of original producer andwriter Thorsten Fenslau inNovember 1993, the group's phe-nomenal career stalled.

This spring Dancepool employeesfrom all over Europe met to analysethe situation. "The result was thatCulture Beat was perceived as old-fashioned in most markets," revealsGraham. "We decided to pursue amore aggressive style of presenta-tion using more modern mixes andarty videos."

Even the right image and a top10 hit do not guarantee survival.Any project with the ambition tobecome a true album act has to bepresent in the media with a constantstring of hits. Continuity is impor-tant. "Developing dance album actsis a challenge," says Graham. "Youneed at least three strong singles onany album, or else people will justbuy the hit compilations."

The First Techno BalladNot exactly Euro-dance but commer-cially extremely successful, Scooterhas developed from straightforwardrave tracks with cheerful commandslike "move your ass" to more melody -driven pop songs over the past twoyears. Producer Jens Theleannounces that the group's thirdalbum Wicked will even feature "theworld's first techno ballad." Thealbum will be released on October 16and contains two contributions bypop songwriter Nosie Katzmann.

Scooter's standing abroad differsconsiderably from its happy hard-core image at home. "In Germanywe have been pushed into the popdance corner by the media," explainsThele. "Abroad we have much morecredibility because we go throughdifferent distribution channels." IfScooter had signed with a majorlabel this might never have hap-pened. "Edel can pick different dis-tribution partners in every Euro-pean territory," says Thele. "Thismeans we can pick the most suitablepartners for particular releases."

In Ireland ClubTools is distrib-uted by EuRock in Dublin. WhenScooter released the second singleMove Your Ass in January 1995 thegroup landed an instant import hitin Ireland. "For the Irish dancescene we were completely under-ground, only available on expensive12" vinyl imports," recalls Thele."Pretty soon this massive hypestarted in Ireland, which was large-ly based on our import status."

Move Your Ass was eventuallyawarded platinum (5.000 copiessold) on the strength of vinylimports alone. Scooter developed aclose relationship with its Irish fan -

MUSIC MEDIA SEPTEMBER 28, 1996AmericanRadioHistory.Com

base which resulted in a special ver-sion of Back In The UK distributedby EuRock under the title Back InIreland.

Scooter's Irish fame spread overNorthern Ireland into Scotland butdid not make it much further south."The beats people dance to in thenorth are faster than in the rest ofEngland," explains Thele.

Edel regional manager AnnikaMeyer-Willkomm says that beatsper minute (BPM) determine thepossible export markets for commer-cial dance music. Scooter's slowestnumber to date, I'm Raving, clocksin around 139 BPM. "That's too fastfor Spain, Italy and most parts ofScandinavia," says Meyer-Willkomm. "Especially Sweden andDenmark look more to the UK formusical influences." Maybe thetechno ballad will turn out to be theright format to conquer these mar-kets for Euro-dance.

What Happens Next?Commercial dance music has cometo a temporary lull. It's still popularbut the genre has lost a lot of it'soriginal zest. Now it's time to mapout the future course of develop-ment and put innovation back intothe genre.

Maria Jimenez, general man-ager of the Amsterdam DanceEvent observes, "Euro-dance is notreal club music any more, it's moresuited to live performances." Takingplace on October 17-19, the Amster-dam Dance Event highlights cur-rent trends in the European clubscene. Only one showcase out ofsome 20 confirmed parties andappearances is dedicated to com-mercial dance music. The emphasisof the event lies on house, withguests like Jellybean Benitez,Rollo and Sister Bliss.

But in the long term it can onlybe in the interest of Euro-dance toget away from its dance roots. Itwidens the audience for the genresince active nightclubbers are still aminority. The future of commercialdance music lies in adopting evenmore conventional pop mannerismswith just enough new elements bor-rowed from the dance scene to makethe resulting product interesting.

Samples, more BPM and differ-ent sounds-innovation still tricklesinto pop music on a continuousbasis. "There is a fine line betweenthe clubs and the pop charts," saysJimenez. "Thanks to Euro-dancethe mind frame of pop buyers hasexpanded. It is much easier nowa-days for a dance track to cross overinto the mainstream."

Are we putting future earningson a shaky base here? Albums arethe bread and butter of the popindustry. Most players in the com-mercial dance market realise thatthe development of album acts inthis genre is difficult. Some good,old-fashioned songwriting mighthelp. After all, Euro-dance and itsderivatives are bought by normalpop consumers. Goodbye to noveltyhits and welcome the techno ballad.

Jazz Cauldron's BubblingWhile new jazz labels have been launched by indiesand two majors have recently incorporated theirjazz and classic divisions, this autumn witnessesexpanding horizons and a plethora of new releases.Terry Berne samples the banquet.

WO new jazz labelshave been launchedrecently by leadingindependents. KochInternational has

entered the rapidly expanding jazzmarket with Koch Jazz. Focusing onregional stars both in the US, wherethe label is based, and in Europe, thecompany's first releases include Cleve-land native and saxophonist ErnieKrivda, Chicago pianist Kelly Brand,Los Angeles saxophonist BruceEskovitz, UK pianist John Donald-son, as well as guitarist Jarek Smi-etana and trumpet player TomaszStanko from Poland. The companywill also licence previously released butcurrently unavailable material byartists such as Bobby Previte, HerbEllis, Dave McKenna and JohnHandy.

Island Jamaica Jazz was launchedthis spring to showcase the jazz side ofthe Caribbean island famed as thebirthplace of reggae. Both initialreleases feature pioneers of Jamaicaninstrumental music with deep-rootedjazz origins. Guitarist ErnestRanglin, with Below The Bassline andkeyboard player Monty Alexanderwith Yard Movement hope to move thetwo traditions closer together. IslandUK A&R director Trevor Wyatt, whohelped produce both albums says, "Theidea for the Ranglin sessions was toreplace the reggae drummer with ajazz drummer and the electric basswith a string bass, in order to captureboth the jazz and the reggae vibe of ahandful of Jamaican classics like thegreat Satta Massagana." Alexandertakes the opposite tack on his CD, play-ing jazz lines over an all -Jamaicanrhythm section. The label hopes to offerthree or four albums a year, with well-known reggae saxophonist Dean Fraz-er next up.

Norway's Jazz Plugged InAfter switching from commercial radioto public and back again in the pastyear or so, Oslo's "Jazz Scene," pro-duced by David Fishel, has set its siteson a major cyber audience with anInternet web site utilising RealAudiotechnology, and transmission from noless than four broadcasting points. Thesite, which can be accessed athttp://nettvik.no/jazzscene contains avaried menu of jazz -related pages withanimation, down-loadable sound filesand databases. Information is availableon the programme's past and up -com-ing shows, including playlists, inter-view guests, album reviews (con-tributed by a rotating roster of guestcritics) and a local events calendar. A

"links" page puts you in touch with ahost of other jazz -related Internet sitessuch as labels, artist home pages, JazzOn -Line and the like. Song requestscan be made directly to "Jazz Scene"from the 2.000 -album database. Theweekly programme can be heard onOslo's Radio 1 and Classic FM, as wellas on Radio Nettverk via satellite allover Norway (and the world if you haveIntelsat), "Jazz Scene" can also beheard courtesy of the Internet world-wide.

Dreyfus Flies HighDreyfus Jazz, just entering its fifthyear, is celebrating unprecedentedsales of several of its recent releases, aswell as a sweep of the jazz awards atthe 1996 NAIRD convention in May.The label won Best Contemporary JazzRecording for Roy Haynes' Te-Vouand Best Mainstream Recording for theMingus Big Band's GunslingingBirds. According to label founderFrancis Dreyfus, the double MichelPetrucciani CD Au Theatre DesChamps Elysees has sold some 60.000copies in Europe and south-east Asiaalone, while of the two Marcus Millerreleases on the label, the first has soldabove 80.000 in Europe, and the secondis nearing sales of 75.000. Thesealbums received Jazz Award sales cer-tification in Germany last year. Also,initial orders for Flamingo, the newPetrucciani CD featuring StephaneGrappelli stand above58.000, reports Dreyfus.

"We don't reallyknow what percentageof the market jazz rep-resents," he says,"because a majority ofboth labels and outletsare independent anddon't show up in sur-veys. But it's much big-ger than is generallythought. Sales like oursprove that."

He attributes thatsuccess to several fac-tors. Aggressive promo-tion, coupled with yearsof marketing and pub-licity experience gainedfrom pop music, isundoubtedly the label's specialty. "Ourgoal is to find the right artists, and letthem know from the start that we aregoing to invest an ample budget inthem, not only on the production of adisc, but on promotion as well, so that arelease becomes a media event just aswith a pop album. That's why exclusivi-ty is important to us."

The label has also followed a stra-

tegy of signing artists that play differ-ent instruments, which allows them tocreate special line-ups with labelmates, both live and on disc, attractingboth media and consumer attention.Dreyfus recently signed jazz violinistDidier Lockwood, whose label debut,Story Board, will be out in earlyNovember. "We want to create a com-pany spirit, like Blue Note had in the'50s," he concludes.

Eight -string guitaristHunter delights in a swampy Texasblues sound that contrasts nicely withhis tenor and alto partners who evokeDetroit more often than the Panhandle.Thus they create a vigorous soul -jazzgroove with roots in the fertile B3 funkof the past, but with a thoroughly mod-ern sensibility.

M CHARTS SALES/AIRPLAY

Breakin' & EnteringA weekly Eurochart analysis by Machgiel Bakker

Things have gone very fastfor R.E.M. Debuting lastweek at number 9, now theUS superstars' long-await-ed album is already atnumber 1, and the jumpgave the group a SalesBreaker award in theprocess. Europe's best-sell-ing album, New AdventuresIn Hi-Fi is presently num-ber 1 in no less than sevenEuropean markets (includ-ing the UK), number 2 in

Sweden and Germany plus an additional six other chart positions.It marks the band's third number 1 album following 1991's Out Of

Time and Monster from 1994. Another very successful album for theband was Automatic For The People that reached number 2 in the Top100 in 1992.

R.E.M.'s move to number 1 puts an end to the five -week chart reign ofAlanis Morissette's Jagged Little Pill. Nevertheless, that album is stillon a roll as attests it's number 2 position after a remarkable 54 -weekchart run.

Jagged Little Pill is no doubt the most successful debut album of the'90s. With three million sales in Europe (12 million in the US), it is stillcharted in all European territories contributing to the chart (17), includ-ing a top 10 placing in 15. Despite that success, Jagged Little Pill is cur-rently not the longest -charting album: that honour goes to the four -mil-lion selling D'Eux by Celine Dion, now positioned at 46 after 75 weeksof consecutive chart success. Following in second place, in terms of chartendurance, is Michael Jackson's HIStor y. In an unusual move ofnumerical consistency, the album is at number 66 from last week's posi-tion 66 with a total of 66 weeks. The album is bound to improve on itsweeks -on -chart number, following the artist's current European tour.

More US dominance in the top 100 comes from ZZ Top which booksthe highest entry of the week with Rhythmeen, the group's second albumfor RCA. The album is a new entry in seven European markets, includ-ing a number 9 position in Germany.

In the Eurochart Hot 100 Singles, the Spice Girls remain at the topslot for the third week, with consolidated positions in 13 territories and anumber 1 in six-Germany, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Norway, Swe-den and Denmark.

for national commercial radioto air PPBs is enshrined in the1990 Broadcasting Act, and isnow being enforced by theRadio Authority.

Virgin Radio's head of pressElly Smith explains, "Thereare two issues we are nothappy about. Firstly, it'sunfair that not all radio sta-tions have to carry thesebroadcasts. Two -and -a -halfminutes is a long time on theradio, and it will be a realturn-off for our listeners. Itseems particularly unjust thatBBC Radio 1 is not required tocarry the broadcasts, especial-ly as they are supposed to be apublic service." Smith adds,"We are also unhappy aboutthe requirement to carrybroadcasts from regional par-ties [Plaid Cymru and theScottish Nationalist Party],which will not be of interest tolisteners in other parts of thecountry."

Smith admits that Virgin isresigned to the fact that it hasa legal requirement to carrythe PPBs. She hopes, however,

that the political parties willmake some attempt to producebroadcasts that will appeal toa younger audience. "It wouldbe nice to think that theycould use their creativity todesign broadcasts that will fitin with our programmes."

Radio Authority spokesper-son Julie McCatty says thatthe regulator's request tonational stations to broadcastPPBs (which had not beenrigidly enforced until now) wasmade following lobbying by thepolitical parties, and becauseof the imminence of a generalelection. Says McCatty, "Wethink its encouraging [for thestatus of commercial radio]that political parties havetaken such an interest in thismatter." The 1990 Broadcast-ing Bill states that, as part ofthe terms of their licences,national commercial operatorshave an obligation to broad-cast PPBs, and the act tasksthe Radio Authority with theresponsibility of ensuring sta-tions broadcast the requiredamount of PPBs.

Europe 1 Reborncontinued from page 1

Bellay has fully reshapedthe schedule and dropped allthe entertainment, games ormusic -only shows. Instead, thenews sections have beenstrengthened and a series ofnew daytime and evening talkshows introduced.

"Europe 1 will be a talk sta-tion identified as such fromstart to finish," says Bellayadding that music will not beforgotten with two songs perhalf-hour. Bellay wantsEurope 1 "to regain its positionas the leading station regard-ing news," and is targeting a 7-10% national audience. He

reckons that, "the major riskwe face in the beginning islosing part of our audience,but the whole gamble is togain an increasing audience".

Bellay dismisses the criti-cism that Europe 1 is nolonger a full -service station."We are redefining our con-cept, but if we look at theCSA's definitions we still are afull -service station. Most ofour programmes are news butnot exclusively. Europe 1 hasthe guts to change. You cannotalways look at the past andlament. You have to move for-ward before it's too late. Thosewho have not made it todaywill regret it in the future."

Tele Danmark Expandscontinued from page I

"Uptown radio will contin-ue to operate in Copenhagen.Uptown Radio A/S, as parentof the radio station, will sellthe Uptown name and some ofits activities to Tele Danmarkto provide programming, salesand expertise in running thestations."

The telecom company holdsthe majority stake in the newcompany, which will be placedin Tele Danmark's portfolio asTele Danmark Radio A/S, asubsidiary of the cable TVdivision which provides ser-vices and equipment for localradio stations.

The announcement came asa surprise to many in the busi-ness, but newer legislation onthe liberalisation of telecom-munications opened the doorsfor the move. "I'm all for liber-alisation, but the playing fieldmust be level for all. If you're apublic body, you can do whatyou like," says Steen Soder-green, vice chairman of thecommercial radio organisationKOMM. "Tele Danmark mayhave a credibility problem as itoffers services to stations andcompetes with them at thesame time. I won't do businesswith a company like that.Maybe they think there's moremoney in killing local radiothan selling them equipment."

The stations will be entirely

financed by advertising rev-enues, and the parent says itwill use the next four weeks toland ad contracts. The namesof the two new stations areexpected to be released nextmonth.

"We have around 20employees at Uptown and wewill be expanding with thenew channels. In the expan-sion we intend to recruit fromstaff already in place, and partof the expansion will be look-ing for new talent to hire,"says Lau Rentius. "We're alsogoing to produce a sound chan-nel for Tele Danmark's TV ser-vice channel," he says.

Spain Welcomes Arrival OfDigital Radio, Finallyby Howell Llewellyn

MADRID - Digital radio via satel-lite is on its way to Spain, a yearafter it arrived in most ofEurope. At the same time,national TV station Tele 5 hasannounced the imminent birthof "the first totally independentTV music programme" whichwill concentrate on new talent.

Astra Marketing lberica(AMI), the Spanish affiliate ofLuxembourg -based SocieteEuropeenne des Satelites (SES)which owns the Astra satellitesystem, has announced that theradio service will be in operationby the end of the year. On offerwill be 106 radio channels,including 62 all -music pay chan-nels. Astra already transmitssatellite TV to Spain, but only1.120.000 of the 11.710.000homes with a television receivethe system.

Astra Digital Radio (ADR)was introduced to most ofEurope in mid -1995, and incountries such as the UK andIreland, 30% of homes withAstra reception listen to theradio via satellite. In Spain, thesource of the music digital radio

will be the US company DigitalMusic Express (DMX), whichbroadcasts via the Astra satel-lite system. Albert Marti, direc-tor general of AMI, said themonthly subscription will bePta1.500 (app. US$11.90), whilethe receiver -synthesiser will beavailable for Pta50.000. "Theintroduction of ADR will meanan important change in radio,converting it into a more andmore selective and thematicinstrument," he said.

The Tele 5 programme willbe called Compact-Dyc and is tostart broadcasting on October 6.The show will feature newartists with one veteran starfrom the past 30 years who willact as "godfather" to the youngmusicians. "This should be agood opportunity for new artistswho are emerging at a timewhen Spanish music is sufferinga paralysis of forms andrhythms," says a Tele 5

spokesman. "We have to givefresh blood a chance in a time ofcomplete musical sterility, inwhich the industry is still livingoff compilation albums of musicfrom the past 30 years."

Airplay ActionEHR Top 40 commentary by Pieter Kops

The hottest record on European Hit Radio this weekis Dance Into The Light, the new single by PhilCollins. The radio -friendly track has managed toachieve the status of Most Added leader for thesecond consecutive week, as it's boosted by 34 first-time reports on the format-after 28 last week.

Dance Into The Light jumps up 25 places in one go,landing at number 8 with a 65 -station roster by itsside. This comprises of 15 countries with Holland,the UK and Ireland standing out as most supportive.National penetration in those territories ranges from71% in the UK to 100% in Holland. Spain, Norway,Denmark, Austria and Switzerland form the secondleague, with figures between 50-67%.

In the meantime, Spice Girls conquers thenumber 1 slot on EHR, two weeks after the UKquintet did the same in the Eurochart Hot 100Singles, where, incidentally, it hasn't left itsmagnificent position since. Its triumphant move onEHR has forced the Pet Shop Boys single to leavethe throne after a two-week reign with Se A Vida E(That's The Way Life Is). Interestingly, its successorWannabe is the first debut single to have achievedEHR number 1 status this year.

The Spice Girls' song is currently playlisted in 25European countries, including new additions inGermany, Italy, Belgium and Slovenia. At present, itshighest national penetration ratios are being

registered inHolland, Hungary,Slovenia and theCzech Republic(75-100%).

On The RoadBorder Breakers commentary by Pieter Kops

While Eros Ramazzotti's Stella Gemella occu-pies the Border Breakers top spot for the thirdweek in a row, the mid -tempo ballad grabs theRoad Runner award for the fifth time since itschart entry eight weeks ago, a highly remark-able achievement. Ramazzotti's increased sup-port base is due to new reports from significantstations in Germany, Sweden and Norway. Hissingle has now found its way to EHR and ACEstations of all formats in 21 countries across theboard. In the EHR Top 40 it is currently posi-tioned at number 21 and in the ACE Top 25 atnumber 10.

German Euro dance act No Mercy has alsoattracted considerable new crossover airplaythis week, causing it to jump from number 7 to4 during its eighth charting week. Where DoYou Go enjoys an expanding roster in Holland,Italy and Sweden and has now obtained airplaysupport in 14 countries outside GSA. In theEHR Top 40, the single is currently charting atnumber 32, after a peak one notch higher.

Another good move in the top 10 region of thechart is performed by Brazilian, French -signedact Carrapicho. The cheerful and poppy dancetrack, entitled Tic, Tic Tac, leaps up from num-ber 11 to 7 during its eighth consecutive chart-ing week. It is propelled by new airplay inHolland, where private EHR stations HitradioVeronica/Hilversum and Radio 538/Bussumhave added it to their playlists.

The only new entry in this week's BorderBreakers run-down appears at number 24.Little Boy by German techno dance act CaptainJack is the follow-up to Soldier Soldier, which

is presentlypositionedat number17 duringits 10thchartingweek, aftera peak atnumber 10.Again pro-duced bythe act'smastermind

Udo Niebergall, the new single has crossedover to eight stations in three countries outsideGSA-Holland (four stations), Belgium (two)and Poland (two).

It is the fourth single taken from CaptainJack's debut album The Mission, which is cur-rently placed at number 54 in the EuropeanTop 100 Albums, after having peaked at num-ber 20. Other singles spawned by the albumwere Drill Instructor and Captain Jack. Bothtracks peaked at number 13 in BorderBreakers.
