38 BILLBOARD DECEMBER 13, 1986 www.americanradiohistory.com orne video Panarecord Inks Agreement With CBS /Fox Video MILAN, Italy Italian record company Panarecord has increased its commitment to the home video market by signing a licensing deal with CBS /Fox Video. The company, which moved into video just a year ago, already has a similar deal with MGM /UA. Product from the new agreement will be available immediately. Panarecord president Sergio De Gennaro predicts the label's reported 13% market share in the last quarter of 1985 will grow to better than 20% for the whole of 1986. Additional capital has been raised to support the increased involvement in video. Less developed than other Euro- pean countries because of the dominance of private television, Italy's video market is now expanding rapidly. According to the video trade association Univideo, 1985 prerecorded video sales amounted to 369,000 units. In the first half of 1986 they totaled 473,000, and Uni- video's forecast for the second half-year is in excess of 600,000. Home video currently accounts for 85% of Panarecord's turnover, but De Gennaro hopes to restore a more even balance between record and video earnings. "That abnor- mal proportion is partly due to the fact that we had to neglect our record activities a little in order to set up the new structures needed for such a different kind of business," he says. "No longer, though. In the next few months we intend to cut much deeper than before into the record business cake."

The story of the French horre entertainment industry in the 1980s is a story of revolution.

The revolution in the way in which records and tapes reach the consumer also pro%ides cause for considerable alarm. With the growing dominance of the hypermarkets and department store chains, the record companies have to contend with drastically reduced scope for in -store promotion, high discounts and a dam- aging retail preoccupation with Top 40 repertoire, to the obvious detriment of catalog and of new talent trying to break into the market. Says Bernard de Bosson, president of WE 4: "Since resale price maintenance on records was abolished at the beginning of the 1980s, conventional record shops have been going out of business at an alarming rate. Where there were once 2,000 in France, the number today is probably around 300. Five years ago there .used to be 350 dealers in the Paris area; today you can scarcely find 15." Patrick Zelnik, president of Virgin, under- scores this dramatic attrition when he says: " n A towns of less than 100,000 people you often cannot find a conventional record outlet. The hypermarkets sell a very restricted range of repertoire and often use records and tapes as HILLßOARD loss leaders."

www.americanradiohistory.com Only Maurice Chevalier and Charles Aznavour broke that mould, and no one has followed their example. What's missing from French artists and singer -songwriters today is the ingredient to make them truly international stars, like Nina Mouskouri and Julio Iglesias, both of whom have been immensely successful in France as in so many other other countries. The French pop group Gold summed it up in a recent interview. "In France, we have invented nothing, and Gold no more than the others. You have to be English -speaking to do that. French groups are only too happy to assimilate Anglo -Saxon rock in their own way. If this music is successful, it means the public wants to hear it." This Anglo -Saxon rock is pretty well all that young French music listeners want to buy. If their tastes change as they get older, so unfortunately do their record -buying habits.

By MIKE ZWERIN

n the five years since the French government tentatively lifted state control over radio, the shock waves have been relentless: from a mere handful of pioneer FM stations called free radios, there are now as many as 4,000, some with big commercial potential. In television, there are now two new controversial channels-5 and 6 on top of the state -run networks, some of which are in the process of being privatised, while the satellite -cable scene is changing fast. But will the boom continue? Competition in radio is breakneck, and among the main sufferers from the FM explosion have been the big networks, like the state -owned France Inter, and the commercial Radio Luxembourg, Eu- rope No.1 and Radio Monte Carlo stations.

60 BILLBOARD DECEMBER 13, 1986 www.americanradiohistory.com HOT 100 SINGLES SPOTLIGHT

A weekly look behind the Hot 100 with Michael Ellis.

NEW GROUP BRUCE HORNSBY & the Range scores the No. 1 record on the Hot 100 with its second single release, "The Way It Is" (RCA). Hornsby is No. 1 in airplay by a solid margin, with 214 of the 222 reporting stations playing the record, and No. 2 in sales, trailing "Hip To Be Square" by Huey Lewis & the News (Chrysalis) by a slim margin. Lewis holds at No. 3 without a bullet as his record loses its radio momentum while increasing strongly in sales. The Bangles' "Walk Like An Egyptian" (Columbia) is poised to challenge Hornsby for the top next week, and Wang Chung's "Everybody Have Fun Tonight" (Geffen) is also moving up quickly.

MADONNA'S "OPEN YOUR HEART" (Sire) is this week's Power Pick /Airplay after entering the chart as the Hot Shot Debut last week. In the year that Billboard has been naming Airplay Power Picks, 36 of the 38 picks have reached the top 10, and the other two (the current singles by Bruce Springsteen and Cyndi Lauper) are on track for the HAS A NIT RECORD top 10. This 100% accuracy rate in picking future top 10 singles is especially impressive when one notes that Airplay Power Picks are sometimes records as far down the chart as the 50s. FOR TODAY IN ADDITION TO THE success of Hornsby, several other new artists are bulleted on the Hot 100. Singer /songwriters Gregory Abbott from New York and Robbie Nevil from Los Angeles are in the top 15 with their first singles, and new American bands Timbuk 3 (I.R.S.) and the FOR TOMORROW, Georgia Satellites (Elektra) are moving up nicely. The Satellites are already top 20 at reporting stations in seven markets, including San Jose, Calif.; Chicago; and their hometown, Atlanta. English artist Sa- AND FOREVER: mantha Fox (RCA) moves up to No. 44 -in a tight area of the chart- as "Touch Me (I Want Your Body)" has an excellent week at radio, with 22 adds from the pop panel and seven top five reports. Canadian artist Nancy Martinez continues to bullet at No. 37 with "For Tonight" (At- lantic) -one of the rare records that regains a bullet. It's No. 1 at KMEL San Francisco and top 10 at five other reporting stations. Anoth- er record from the never -say -die school is No. 61, "Crazay" by Jesse !!FOR Johnson (A &M), which regains the bullet it lost six weeks ago. That's a real rarity. The record, a major hit in certain markets, is starting to TOXIGIIT" spread. It's especially strong in California and the Southeast, including (7- 89371) No. 8 at FM 102 in Sacramento and No. 12 at WSSX Charleston, S.C. [also available as a 12- (0- 86789) and (DMD 963)] A NEW INDEPENDENT label, Night Wave Records, debuts on the Hot 100 as "Dancin In My Sleep" by Secret Ties enters the chart at No. 92. This dance record has been bubbling under for several months with scattered airplay. At B -94 FM El Paso, Texas, PD Ron Haney says that he listens to local club hits like the Secret Ties record and occasionally adds them to his station's playlist. "It won our `Battle Of The Future Hits' for five or six nights, then was added into regular rotation. It's top 10 in call -out research and sales."
