An interesting bit of goss from Hits Daily Double for you numbers nerds to chew over:
Following weeks of rumormongering, many inside Sony and UMG now believe that Barry Weiss will take a key job within Lucian Grainge’s revamped East Coast operations. Grainge has reportedly been telling his New York label heads there will be someone in place between himself and them, and conventional wisdom suggests this someone will be the current RCA/Jive chief. According to Sony sources, Weiss’ deal is up in June, but are there other factors at work that could lead to a possible early exit prior to the announcement of Rolf Schmidt-Holtz’s replacement?
Will Barry Weiss continue to work with 19 Entertainment as they make their move to Universal Music Group next year? And if he does? What will it mean? Discuss!
