www.americanradiohistory.com Almost one -quarter of the total album sales for 2005 are R &B, rap or hip -hop releases. To date, more than 74 million albums have been sold, worth more than $1 billion.

However, as the major labels continue to downsize, African -American executives - who are largely responsible for signing, pro- moting and creating the careers of these top - selling artists -are often the first to be cut.

Today, there are only a handful of African - American execs in key major -label roles. Some top players say black executives are first to be "downsized" because most of the financial decision- makers are white. "You're not going to cut one of your own if you can cut a black person," one African - America major -label exec says. On the flip side, manager/record executive Mathew Knowles said during his keynote at the Bill- board R &B /Hip -Hop Conference last year, maybe black executives themselves are at fault for not being as business -savvy as they need to be.

Is it a black- and -white issue?

Billboard's senior R &B editor Gail Mitchell investigates.

www.americanradiohistory.com SATELLITE RADIO As XM and Sirius ramp up for the crucial fourth -quarter buying season, they are cranking out smaller, sexier, more efficient radios that cost less and offer more than any models they previously offered. Banc of America Securities broadcasting analyst Jonathan Jacoby forecasts 1.5 million new subscribers in the fourth quarter. "Howard Stern helped people understand what satel- lite radio is," Barrington Research analyst Jim Goss says. "Now they have to decide if they want to buy it." The battle comes down to this: XM, with its more technologically advanced and versatile hardware, versus Sirius, with its megawatt talent deals. XM expects to end the year with more than 5.5 million subscribers. Sirius says it will surpass 2.7 million subscribers by year's end. One chipset -generation ahead of Sirius, XM introduced the world's first "wearable" satel- lite radio, the Delphi -produced MyFi, last October. Sirius plans to bow its own wearable products before the holidays. Much of the current Sirius product line consists of transportable "plug and play" units like the sleek Star Mate, which is about the size of a deck of cards. The new Sportster Instant Replay radio records up to 44 minutes of programming. Stern will play a pivotal role in Sirius marketing efforts. How big a draw will Stern be? "It definitely will be big," Jacoby says. "Stern has 7.7 million weekly listeners, 5.5 million daily. A percentage of them can't go a day without Howard, and they are going to follow him."
