CA: How did you end up in the music business? MS: I worked as a CPA in New York for a big accounting firm. Back in that day with those jobs, you hoped one of your clients would hire you. I had a friend who worked on the acquisition of Island Records by Polygram, went there and basically had a job for me. I was 26 years old, got a $3,000 raise and I could wear jeans to work. I came home and said, “I think I want to do this.” I wasn’t a musician and didn’t want to be in the music business, necessarily. But I went to work for Matt Signore Island and ultimately Island/Def Jam on the business side. How did you meet Espo? Exclusive Club: AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am tournament winner In 1994, he was the head of catalog sales at Polygram. He was Jordan Spieth (l) and partner Jake Owen celebrate a big the guy trying to get labels to clear things for catalog work, and my weekend on the links.

    (12.27.17) https://www.billboard.com/biz/articles/8085002/brett-young-tops-country-airplay-kelsea-ballerini- thomas-rhett-reach-top-10 Brett Young earns his second No. 1 on Billboard's Country Airplay chart, as "Like I Loved You" rises 2-1 in its 23rd week, increasing 3 percent to 41.5 million audience impressions in the week ending Dec. 24, according to Nielsen Music. (Young tops the tally dated Jan. 3, marking a rare Wednesday-dated chart, instead of the usual Saturday, as Billboard is adjusting how it dates its charts and magazine issues.) "Loved," co-written by Young with Jesse Lee, marks Young's second total and consecutive Country Airplay leader. After his first single, "Sleep Without You," peaked at No. 2 on Country Airplay (dated Dec. 10, 2016), his second, "In Case You Didn't Know," led the list for two weeks beginning June 10, notching the 36-year-old native Californian his first Country Airplay No. 1. On the Hot Country Songs chart, which blends airplay, sales and streaming data, "Loved" lifts 4-3, hitting a new high. Bebe Rexha and Florida Georgia Line's "Meant to Be" rules Hot Country Songs for a fourth week, adding the top gain in airplay, as it pushes 37-36 on Country Airplay (3.7 million, up 14 percent). RHETT SAYS 'I DO' TO 10th TOP 10: Also on Hot Country Songs, Thomas Rhett banks his 10th top 10 as "Marry Me" soars 16-5 following the Dec. 17 premiere of its official video. The track claims top streaming and digital sales gainer honors, surging by 74 percent to 7.5 million U.S.
