Ratings systems revampedRajar rewrites the book in U.K; French overhaul cheers music networksby Jonathan Heasman

LONDON - Official U.Kradio ratings body RAJARis making the biggestchanges to its methodologysince it was first estab-lished in 1992.

Its new research system,known as RAJAR 99, is theresult of a £500,000(euro746,000) investment,and has been developedover three years byRAJAR's contractor,IPSOS-RSL, in consulta-tion with representativesfrom the public (BBC) and

commercial radio sectorswho sit on the RAJARboard.

RAJAR 99 aims to bemore accurate, simpler forthe public participating inthe survey, and will providethe industry with more up-to-date ratings informationfor local radio stations.

The RAJAR system willcontinue to be based on lis-tener diaries filled in dur-ing the course of a week.However, those diaries willnow be significantly easierto use, giving each respon-

Geri puts Ginger back in the Spice rackby Christian Lorenz & Siri Stavenes

MILAN - She saidshe would be back,and ex -Spice GirlGeri Halliwell kepther promise with thelaunch of her solodebut single Look AtMe in Europe duringa packed -out pressconference in Milanon April 15.

Look At Me,which went to radioworldwide on April16 and will bereleased on the EMIlabel on May 10, "isabout the side in allof us that screams for attention," Hal-liwell says, "but it is also about howwe are obsessed with public image."

Halliwell's new material is eclectic,drawing from sources as diverse as

contemporary dance and '50s MOR.Or, as Halliwell puts it, "it's like Pub-

lic Enemy meet-ing Marilyn Mon-roe." Other influ-ences claimed byHalliwell-whocontributed lyricsand top linemelody to Look AtMe-are JudyGarland, ShirleyBassey and FrankSinatra. "Basical-ly my father's oldrecord collection,"she laughs.

Reaction to thetrack among pro-grammers indi-

cates that it could finally distanceHalliwell from her girl -band past.

Upfrontby Emmanuel Legrand, Music & Media editor -in -chief

That old debate, research versus "gut feel", was once againbrought centre -stage last week by Paul Conroy's strongly -worded keynote speech at the Radio Academy Music Radioconference in London.

Is research really killing radio's diversity, and is it respon-sible for "blandness" in U.K radio programniing, as theVirgin U.K president argues? Conroy's comments reflect theusual frustration which music industry executives experiencewhen dealing with radio. Research, they claim, is destroyingthe "risk facto!" each programmer faces when choosing a newtrack, and impedes the search for new talent.

Conroy has a point. Research is a tool which helps radiostations focus their programming. That's what it's for. And itworks. Radio stations across Europe which rely on research-and use its results intelligently-have achieved ratings gainsand better focus on their target audiences.

But this doesn't mean stations are not ready to takechances. In fact, each time they add a new song to theirplaylists, it's a risk. And the rapidity with which radio in

Europe has embraced newcomers such as Emilia, BritneySpears, Billie and many others proves that programmers arereceptive to new artists.

However, Conroy chose the wrong target when attackingU.K radio. Overall, the sheer scale of musical styles coveredby U.K radio (both public and commercial), the musical cul-ture of British listeners and the public's constant search fornovelty (at the risk, sometimes, of debunking today what wasadored yesterday) make the U.K a heaven for labels.

In most countries outside the U.K, research should not beblamed for "bland" programming-listeners should.Broadcasters realise mostly through research-that listen-ers are, by nature, conservative.Outnumbering the small minorityinterested in cutting -edge and novelty,there is a vast majority for which radiois a space -filling comfort blanket.

If all European listeners hadadventurous tastes, Talvin Singh,Laurent Garnier and NatachaAtlas, not Cher, Britney Spears andEmilia, would be No.1 in M&M'sTop 50 Airplay chart. If this were tohappen, it would definitely be a curefor blandness.

Battle of the brands breaks out in Italyby Mark Dezzani

MILAN - A new law intended to pre-vent ratings for national networksbeing artificially boosted by listeners tolocal stations which use the same orsimilar branding is unfair, according toItaly's national radio networks associa-tion, RNA.

The body claims that the law-passed as a series of stop -gap measuresprior to a promised comprehensive newmedia law and effective April 1-penalises national radio networks,whilst syndicated national networksare not subject to the same rules.

RNA president Sergio Natucci sayshis association is not against the newrule in principle, but feels that it hasbeen implemented unfairly for punitive

reasons. "The RNA welcomes new lawswhich promote clarity and transparen-cy. However, they should not be issuedpiecemeal but within the proposed com-prehensive new law which applies to alltypes of stations," he says.

The legislation primarily affectsMilan -based CHR network RTL 102.5Hit Radio, whose air -time sales houseOpen Space recently launched a stringof nine regional stations in Milan,Rome, Florence, Naples, Venice, Turin,Palermo and Bari with the RTL brand(M&M, Feb. 27). RTL 102.5 Hit Radiopresident Lorenzo Suraci says that heis considering a legal challenge to thenew rules. "We granted the use of ourbrand to [the regional stations], and Iam perplexed by this new law whichappears made especially to stop this

French stations call for quota reformby Renzi Bouton

PARIS - Eighty-eightFrench radio stationshave petitioned France'sculture and communica-tions minister, CatherineTrautmann, for reforms ofthe territory's quota laws,which currently stipulatethat broadcasts contain atleast 40 percent French -language music.

In a statement, thegroup, which includes allFrance's commercial net-works except urban -for-matted Skyrock, says: "Uniform quo-tas are in conflict with pluralism.The diversity of formats allows us torespond to audience and artist expec-tations. The promotion of French -language music should help increasethe diversity of radio rather thanimpede it."

The move comes as France's par-liament begins to debate a newbroadcasting bill, presented to theprime minister on April 21. As part of

consultations duringthe drafting of thebill, France's radioregulator the CSAsent a report toTrautmann inJanuary, urging thatany new legislationshould incorporategreater flexibility inacknowledging for-mat differences.

The CSA proposedthat stations begiven three options:uphold the currentlaw; play more

French music but less new music(aimed at gold -format outlets); orplay less French music and more newmusic (aimed at CHR formats).

Trautmann has yet to respond toCSA's report or the stations' petition.According to a government source,the culture ministry plans to meetradio and music industry representa-tives to discuss the issues before par-liament votes on the broadcastingbill in May.

project," he tells M&M. "One possibili-ty is to appeal to the EuropeanCommission, as it appears that thislaw contradicts EC rules on the useand licensing of brands."

Supporters of the law, meanwhile,claim that local stations have profitedunfairly by using national brandsowned by their parent companies.Italy's national networks are notallowed to sell local or regional adver-tising, while local affiliates of national-ly syndicated networks sell local adver-tising, and carry national spots fromthe syndicator.

Elena Porta, secretary general oflocal radio association ANTI, says thatthe law is essential to establish fair -playin the market, and that it covers alltypes of radio networks fairly.

"This law is required otherwise pow-erful networks-with their brands rein-forced by major regional stations usingthe same brand-would damage thereliability of the ratings system," shesays. "Newer regional stations such asRTL's city stations should have changedtheir names on April 1 when the newlaw came into effect."

Lloyd Webber hoovers up RUGby Mark Solomons

LONDON - Andrew Lloyd Web-ber has agreed terms to buyback the 30 percent stake inhis Really Useful Group (RUG)held by Universal, for $75 mil-lion (euro 69.5 million). Uni-versal inherited the stake fromPolyGram, which paid $110million for it in 1991 in order torelieve RUG of debt.

The company, which controlsrights to Lloyd Webber's compo-sitions including the musicals"Phantom Of The Opera,""Cats," and "Starlight Express,"made a profit of £12.5 million(euro 18.7m) last year, revers-ing a loss of a similar amount in1997, but well short of thefinancial performance seen in

earlier years. Lloyd Webber isunderstood to have securedloan financing through a majorbank to buy the stake.

As part of the deal, Univer-sal has renewed its licensingdeal for music, video, and pub-lishing rights with RUG. Music& Media understands that thepact is for the world and-forthe music copyrights-theunusually long term of morethan 10 years.

An output deal covers forth-coming recordings, including acast video of "Joseph And TheAmazing Technicolor Dream -coat," due later this year. Thevideo of "Cats" has sold threemillion copies worldwide sinceits release last October, accord-ing to Universal. The company

was unable to provide sales fig-ures tor other recordings.

Lloyd Webber's relationshipwith PolyGram dates back tothe 1970s, when he started torelease records through Poly-dor. However, the composerhas had a series of disagree-ments with the label, mostrecently over the company'shandling of the single No Mat-ter What by Boyzone, takenfrom his show "Whistle DownThe Wind."

Lloyd Webber has longwanted to recover the stake,over which he had pre-emptionrights. Sources say that thetakeover of PolyGram by Uni-versal, once completed, provid-ed a new impetus to finding adeal that suited both parties.

MTV struggles on after Camden fireby Christian Lorenz

LONDON - MTV Europe escapedthe fire which hit its studio andoffice complex in Camden, northLondon on April 14 without seri-ous damage to its broadcastingsuites. But the station's outputwill be impeded for up to twomonths by logistical problems.

Some 150, mainly adminis-trative, staff have been workingsince April 19 out of temporari-ly -leased offices on an industri-al estate near Kings Cross Sta-tion in central London. The firstfloor and a side wing of MTVsHawley Crescent premises inCamden were damaged bysmoke, according to a spokes-

woman for the station, and theclean-up work is expected totake six to eight weeks.

The fire apparently starteddue to an electrical defect in agraphical office in a side wing ofthe Camden complex near MTV'srecently -installed digital broad-casting suite. The £5 million(euro 7.5 million) suite itself,which currently broadcasts threeon -air channels-MTV Central,VH 1 Germany and M2, as wellas six experimental channels-was undamaged. The broadcast-er's five analogue suites, whichhandle the rest of MTV's Euro-pean output, are also unaffected.

The station was forced toswitch to back-up tapes for "a

couple of hours" on April 14 dueto water damage to the powersupply which occurred duringthe London Fire Brigade's effortsto extinguish the fire, accordingto MTV.

The broadcaster's Centralfeed and VH 1 Germany seem tobe the most seriously affected inthe aftermath of the fire.

According to sources close tothe station, it is currently notpossible to programme the twochannels from Hamburgbecause the respective computerlines are down. As a result, thetwo feeds will run the playlist ofweek 15, the week of the fire,until an alternative arrange-ment is made.

Germany to export Internet radioby Gesa Birnkraut

HAMBURG - Cyberradio, whichclaims to be Germany's first Internet -only radio station, is set for interna-tional expansion.

Launched in Hamburg in Decem-ber 1998 with U.S. financial backing,the station will launch English -lan-guage sites in Los Angeles on June 23and in London in September.

Developing the concept interna-tionally is eased by its relative cheap-ness and the current lack of licensingrequirements. According to financedirector Stefan Lecher, the companyis now in talks with potential partnersin France and Scandinavia, and thereare also plans to float the company onthe stock market in Germany.

Cyberradio (www. cyberradio . de)already has a staff of 20 in Hamburgand broadcasts live for 17 hours out of24. Programming is R&B and dance -oriented and-in contrast to the high-tech nature of the station-carried

out manually. "We do not work withSelector and we will not confine our-selves to a format," says Lecher.

"During the day, there is a lot ofmainstream music, but at night wehave different guest DJs, introducinga mix of newcomers and unknownacts," he continues. "The big differ-ence is that radio becomes visible onthe Internet. Several interviews orshows can be heard and seen ondemand, so that each listener can puttogether their own programme."

Artists on high rotation at the sta-tion-which says that its German lis-teners tune in for an average of twohours per day-include Foxy Brown,All Saints, Ginuwine, NuyoricanSoul, Tatyana Ali and Armand VanHelden.

Record companies have yet toacknowledge the potential of Internetradio. "It is not a topic of considera-tion at all at the majors at themoment," says Uli Kuppel, radio pro-motion/Internet manager for Motor

Music in Hamburg. "But I am con-vinced that in the near future recordcompanies will have to rethink thisattitude."

Hit Radio: exploiting brand powerEd Mew reports on the ini-tiative by Hit RadioAntenne to create abranded chain of ind-ependently -run music sta-tions across Germanywhich, it is claimed, canrival TV's audience figures

Steffen Muller, MD of Hit -Radio Antenne, with

Doris Schroder, wife of the German chancellor

nspired by NRJ and its chain oflocal Energy stations in Germany,the AC -formatted Hit RadioAntenne-which started life in thestate of Lower Saxony as the region-

al Antenne-Das Radio-has broughttwo further stations into the Hit Radiobranding stable.

Dresden -based Hit -Radio AntenneSachsen originally launched asschlager-formatted Antenne Sachsen in1993, later dropping schlager to go to anoldies/AC mix, and then, in 1998, adopt-ing the Hit -Radio brand's strict AC pro-gramming. Hit -Radio AntenneSachsen-Anhalt in Halle was launchedin 1992 as schlager/ oldies station RadioBrocken, switching in 1997 to AC and in1998 adopting the Hit -Radio prefix.

The three stations, partlycontrolled by AVEGesellschaft fur Hoer-funkbeteiligung, a broad-casting subsidiary ofGerman publishing giantHoltzbrink, aim to use theircommon branding and com-bined listenership to make abigger impression on themarketplace.

Competing with TVThe Hit -Radio Antenne groupas it is currently constitutedhas a reach of some 786,000. NRJ's localstations have a combined reach of244,000 listeners per hour, on average.

According to Steffen Muller, manag-ing director of the Hit -Radio Antennestation in Lower Saxony, the Hit -Radiopartnership will make it easier to mar-ket the broadcasters on a national level,and opens up possibilities which wouldpreviously have been unthinkable-such as taking on commercial televisionbroadcasters.

"On average, the Hit -Radio Antennegroup reaches a bigger audience in themorning hours than many national tele-

vision stations," says Muller,who is also the main market-ing coordinator of the group.Hit -Radio Antenne is cur-rently working on a nation-wide promotional campaignto attract advertisers whohave, up to now, put theirmoney into television.

Muller contends: "With aconsistent format we can geta specific listener profile;which we can offer [to adver-tisers] as an exact targetaudience." That audiencerepresents 25 -45 -year -old lis-teners with similar lifestyles,consumer habits and finan-cial standing. The new part-nership under Hit -RadioAntenne allows the broad-casters to be marketed as agroup rather than individu-ally. In addition, the grouphas started to market itselfon a national level by spon-soring the Gernian versionof Top Of The Pops on televi-sion broadcaster RTL.

The concept could eventuallybecome an alternative to Germany's"Kombi" marketing system, in whichvarious broadcasters are groupedtogether by sales and marketing hous-es and marketed as a group. One of thedisadvantages the Kombi system pre-sents to advertisers is that broadcast-ers with totally different formats areoften stuck together in one Kombi, andadvertisers are forced to advertise onstations which might include irrele-vant target listeners.

Ratings benefitsThe switch to the Hit -Radio brand haspaid off for the three stations, whichhave seen their ratings rise dramatical-ly. The Hanover station experienced a

40 percent increase in reach from 1996to 1997, and overtook the popular pub-lic broadcaster Bremen 4 in that citylast year. In Saxony, meanwhile, the HitRadio station there has managed todouble its ratings and close the gap onmarket leader Radio PSR, although itstill lags behind.

But while the common brandingmay offer commercial advantages, crit-ics have denounced the move as fur-ther homogenisation of radio.However, while the music formats atall three Hit -Radio Antenne broadcast-ers may be AC, they nonetheless differfrom station to station.

Mtiller says that research only con-firms what listeners want to hear, andin any case the Hit -Radio stations willonly share a common name with a com-mon AC programming format, stillretaining their regional identity withlocal presenters, local news and non -centralised programming. "The musicyou play in Saxony-Anhalt is not neces-sarily the same music you play in LowerSaxony," he asserts.

Programming choicesWhile the Hit -Radio Antenne broad-casters do not share common program-ming, they do work together in develop-ing it.

The stations have established a com-mon music programming staff based inHanover to develop individual program-ming for the three stations, based onmarket research. Tom Adams, pro-gramme director at Hit -Radio AntenneSachsen, says his station plays strictlymainstream AC; core artists include thelikes of Phil Collins, Tina Turner, DJBobo, Natalie Imbruglia, Madonna andSupertramp. Adams emphasises, how -

"The groupreaches a bigger [western German] city of

Hnover. es such asaudience in the NarcoticNa byTitlGerman act

ever, that Hit -Radio Antenne Sachsenproduces 100 percent of its own pro-gramming, based on local listenerresearch.

"You just can't have common pro-gramming for; a nationwide radiobrand," says Thomas Melzer, MD andprogramme director at Hit -RadioAntenne Sachsen-Anhalt . "That would-n't work. We have a common targetaudience, but that doesn't necessarilymean their music tastes are exactly thesame. With the help of researcherswe've been able to fine-tune our pro-gramming to match those tastes.

"There are some differences amonglisteners in eastern and westernGermany," adds Melzer. "A 25 -year -oldfrom the [eastern German] city of

Halle has different musi-cal tastes from a 25 -year -old who grew up in the

morning than Haover,are in rotation in

but not in

many national Saxony and Saxony-Anhalt. The eastern states

stations.!! of Saxony and Saxony-Anhalt share more similar

- Steffen Mailertastes, according to mar-ket research, but differfrom the Hanover broad-

caster. The differences can be veryminute, however," Melzer concludes.

A member of Hit -Radio AntenneLower Saxony's programming staff saysthe stations in eastern Germany tend toplay more traditional pop and dance ACtitles. The Hanover station leans a littlemore towards modern rock and popwith acts such as Liquido, but still alsonames among its core artists MichaelJackson and Tina Turner. The stationhas some 1,500 titles in rotation.Figures for title rotation at the othertwo stations were not revealed.

Room for moreWhilst the Hit -Radio Antenne groupso far includes only stations partlycontrolled by AVE, it is not a necessarycondition for membership. Muller saysthe Hit -Radio club remains open toother stations willing to join. The onlycondition is that they use the Hit -Radio Antenne moniker and "The BestMix" slogan, and adopt a mainstreamAC format.

Insider reports that the next sta-tion to join the Hit -Radio Antennepartnership would be Potsdam -basedBB Radio, in which AVE also has astake, and which broadcasts through-out the state of Brandenburg and inBerlin, have been denied by a BBRadio spokesman. Although BBrecently switched fromschlager/oldies to AC, and alreadytakes some of its music programmingfrom Hit -Radio Antenne, the pres-ence in Brandenburg of a separateexisting station called AntenneBrandenburg would lead to "confu-sion for listeners," if BB were to adoptthe Hit -Radio Antenne branding, thespokesman says.

ARTISTS & PHI(

groovesby Gary Smith

DANGEROUSAfter showing what they were capable of with numeroussuperb remixes and the top 20 ragga house hit Flylife,Brixton -based Brit outfit Basement Jaxx are about totake their deserved place amongst the greats of soul/funk,thanks to Red Alert (XL Recordings/U.K.). Dirty, uncom-promising, brilliantly hook -laden and, well, punky, thistrack is already blowing up in the UK and threatens to bethe boss tune for dancefloor and radio alike for a long,long time. With the album Remedy expected soon this islikely to be the year of the Jaxx.

WELL 'ARDOn their second EP, techno duo Direct Drive(KK/Belgium) show a sense of humour in their use ofplayful, naive tunes and a love of thunderous riffing. Theopening track, Whistle, combines dashes of sonic thug-gery with a syncopated techno undertow, while Sonic ishard house at its grooviest. Shimmering synths lead,deceptively, towards a heads -down, no-nonsense thumperof a finale which bears little resemblance to the sinuousintro.

TOP TUNEAlready released in most major European territories, theSouthside Spinners'Luustruck (Lube/Holland) is a classicsemi -instrumental techpop thumper. The track's mainstrength lies in the hook laden, interweaving keyboardriffs which are underpinned by a trulyIt's just one of those tunes that stick like velcro. With itstwo radio edits, Luvstruck has every chance of becominga major crossover success.

SHE'S BACKGerman mood-meistress Billy Ray Martin is back. Thistime on U.K. label React, Martin's new track Honeycomes with no less than four radio edits. The Queen -Bmix is pure eurobeat, a sound which would fit perfectlyinto programming for the 14-20 demographic.Programmers catering to more mature listeners willundoubtedly go for the exquisite, subtle, soul -drenchedre -reading by Miami house duo Deep Dish. With a tech -no imluenced version by Chicane and a lush, breakbeat-dominated take by King B, there is something here foreveryone.

WELCOME TO PLANET SONARThe sixth edition of the widely respect-ed Sonar Festival in Barcelona, June17-19, is to include several changes to

a format which the organisers felt needed refreshing. Outgoes the (admittedly dated) chill -out area, and in comesthe showcase tent, a chance for labels to show off theirrosters in front of a discerning audience.

The other main change to the event is that the organ-isers are keen to attract more professionals, after havingmade the festival a huge hit with the public-Sonar '98attracted 35,000 visitors over three days. This year,Sonar teams up with U.K. publication DJ Mag to organ-ise various panels, seminars and presentations.

Performing artists this year include New York leg-end Suicide, German leftfield jazz man Rainer Truby,Roger Sanchez, Richie Hawtin aka Plastikman,Speedy J, Grooverider, Scratch Perverts, LaurentGamier, Kreidler, David Toop, Orbital and Austrianelectronica act Fennesz.

Stereo's no-nonsense cocktailby Paul Sexton

The Stereophonics gave themselves a toughact to follow after the success of their debutalbum Word Gets Around (V2), but the Welshrockers have found a fifth gear with their fol-low-up, Performance And Cocktails.

The band is on a sharp upward curve bothat home and abroad. Performance AndCocktails shipped over half a million copiesworldwide-excluding North America andSouth -East Asia where the album will bereleased later this year-according to V2international product manager JuliaConnolly. "The Stereophonics did a lot of tour-ing in Europe on the back of their debutalbum," says Connolly. "They've built a loyalfollowing [on the continent], especially inFrance. Sales of Performance are pretty muchdouble of what they did with Word."

Their work ethic apart, the trio fromCwmaman in south Wales hit a note withcontinental European fans, thanks to theirstraightforward rock'n'roll and no-nonsenseattitude. Steeped in '70s rock tradition, leadsinger Kelly Jones confides a particular affec-tion for Australian hard rockers AC/DC. "Weall went to see [former AC/DC singer] BonScott's grave in Australia," says Jones. "I usedto dress up as [AC/DC guitarist] Angus[Young] as a kid. We didn't have anybody elseas heroes."

The first two singles off Performance wereflying out of the shops, giving the band twoconsecutive top five U.K. hits with lastNovember's The Bartender And The Thief

Their next U.K.single, Pick A Part That's New-already outin Europe, which has yet to go with JustLooking-is released in the U.K on May 3and looks set to push Stereophonics mania toa new level.

Chris Straw, head of music at U.K. CHRstation Hallam FM in Sheffield, is bullishthat "[Pick A Part] is the first [single of theirs]

we're going to be able to really hammer."He adds: "The track should be able to han-

dle 30 plays a week. [The Stereophonics] arebecoming so hugely established that they'rethe band of 1999 in a way."

Word Gets Around, released in lateAugust 1997, remained in the U.K. best-sellers almost without a break since it cameout, enjoying a sales infusion when the groupwon the Best British Newcomers award atthe 1998 Brits. Last June, they played to asellout 10,000 outdoor crowd at CardiffCastle in their home country.

Now the stakes are even higher. Followinganother sold -out U.K. tour, they move on toFrance, Germany, Switzerland, theNetherlands and Italy, and will supportAerosmith and Lenny Kravitz on their dou-ble -headliner stadium bills in England,Germany and the Netherlands this summer.A busy festival season beckons, and at theend of July the Stereophonics will headlinethemselves at the Morfa Stadium inSwansea, Wales, for which the plannedcapacity is 50,000.

"I hope this year we can enjoy it a bitmore," says Jones, "because that Cardiff showwas nerve-wracking. That was the first timewe'd seen 10,000 people there for us. Beforethat, we would do festivals and you'd justassume the crowd were not therefor you."

Scycs ride TV soap bubbleby Gesa Birnkraut

They came only second in an easternGerman talent contest last year. Now, fivepiece Scycs are soap stars and their label,Edel Records, expects big things from theirdebut album, Pay -TV.

In June 1998 Scycs won second prize atthe f6 music awards, the country's only tal-ent contest which focuses on artists from theeastern states (the former GermanDemocratic Republic). The band went homewith a voucher to cut 500 demos. "Moreimportant than the award itself were thecontacts Scycs made," says Lars Burmeisterfrom music agency mmk, which organises f6for its main sponsor (the tobacco companyReemtsma), and AMIGA, formerly the EastGerman state label and now part of BMGEntertainment Berlin.

Concert promoter Fritz Rau booked Scycsimmediately to support Italian entertainerEros Ramazzotti. Later that summer, theband were chosen to play themselves in adaily soap on commercial TV station RTL.

The band was signed personally by EdelCEO Jens Geisemeyer, and their first single,Next November, was released in October1998. It went straight to number 14 in theGerman Media Control charts, and bothMTV and VIVA put the video into heavy

rotation. The secondsingle, Grounded, wasreleased this Februaryand received similarlypositive reactions fromthe media.

On Pay TV, whichwas released inGermany on April 19,the band serve up amixture of straighthard rock, newwave and ballads.

Scycs are currently on a 54 -cities tourthrough Germany and Austria which willkeep them on the road until September.Stephan Michme, lead singer and a radio DJat Potsdam -based public CHR station Fritz,admits that "being on tour is one of the mostimportant things for us. We like a mixedaudience especially when, in the middle ofthe gig, everybody is dancing no matter howold they are."

Once the tour is over, Scycs will return tothe studio to start recording a follow-up toPay -TV. Edel Records international market-ing manager Andreas Rath says: "We aresure Scycs are on the verge of internationalsuccess, and Pay -TV is going to be releasedlater this year in most parts of western andeastern Europe, Japan and in the U.S."

AlbumS'JOtIigj )t

by Christian Lorenz & Paul Sexton

THE PRETENDERSVIVA EL AMORWEAInternational release date: May 17The Pretenders' return to themedia spotlight after a five yearbreak-at the Linda McCart-ney tribute concert in Londonon April 10-restated theirranking among the classic rock

bands of the past 20 years. Their first studio albumsince Last Of The Independents in 1994 is furtherfuel for an enviable reputation. Chrissie Hynderemains the quintessential feisty figurehead, even if,with the passage of time, there are suggestions thather hand have taken to rocking a little more gently.Due out on May 3, the set's first single, Human,penned by Shelley Piken and Mark McEntee, is oneof only two among the dozen songs here that Hyndedid not write herself. Featuring Hynde's distinctive,evocative tremelo vocal effect that we have known sowell for 20 years, it is a sure shot for pop and AC for-mats. Stephen Hague lends a sure production handthroughout, and there's a dewy-eyed romance aboutin From The Heart Down, but plenty of fire insidetracks like Legalize Me, featuring Jeff Beck on gui-tar. Nails In The Road, too, is pure Pretenders:tough with a heart. As Hynde sings on Pop Star,"they don't make 'em like they used to." PS

MOBYPLAYMuteInternational release date:May 17The wild man of ambient elec-tronica sings the blues on hissecond regular longplayer todate. Best known in Europe asremixer to the stars-he cancount Michael Jackson and Metallica among hisclients-Moby delves into pre-war blues and gospelto deliver a fresh and innovative pop record. Honey,released on single last September, opens Play withits boogie piano, slowed -down hip hop beats andBessie Jones vocal sample. The album samples liber-ally from the field recordings made by the greatblues archivist Alan Lomax in the rural south of theU.S., which date back as far as the '30o check outFind My Baby with its eerie vocal pledge by BoyBlue, and the sublime uptempo number NaturalBlues. The combination of blues and hip hop beatscreates a unique sound and delivers some stunninghooks in the process. "I listen to a lot of commercialhip hop like Jay -Z, Timbaland and Busta Rhymes,"explains Moby, "[but] these wonderful vocals [onLomax's recordings] became the starting point formy music [on Play]." The next single is the catchyRun On, due out April 26, on which Moby blends thewhite '50s hillbilly gospel of Bill Landlord & TheLandfordaires with shimmering piano riffs and laidback hip hop beats.

HONEYZLOVE OF A LIFETIME1st Avenue/MercuryProducer: Steve LevinePublisher: Sony ATV/EMI

This British R&B trio, which hit paydirt withprevious efforts Finally Found and End OfThe Line, prove those successes were noflukes as this single enters the British chart atnumber 9. This song is the third track taken from the group's debut albumWonder No.8, and is the kind of ballad that seems to work quite well fordiverse radio formats. Simon Sadler, head of music at London's leadingdance outlet Kiss 100 FM, explains why he programmed the track on thestrength of the group's previous track record: "The main reason we wentwith it is the fact that it comes on the back of a really strong effort whichworked very well for us. Although I feel that this is not quite as strong," hecontinues, "we do think it's a solid effort nonetheless, and the fact that itentered the chart rather high seems to bear that out. We currently fea-ture it in medium rotation, which means up to 15 plays." Sadler also pointsout: "The fact that these artists have a healthy future ahead of them alsoinfluenced our decision."

LAYLA KAYLIFSHAKESPEARE IN LOVEGood Groove/EdelProducer: Greg FitzgeraldPublisher: Good Groove/Copyright Control

airborne -111111This is half -English, half -Arab singer Layla Kaylif's debut.She co -wrote this theme song, and it does its chancesat radio no harm that it is associated with what couldprove the biggest movie of the year. It has a beautifulmelody and is well produced, contains all the ingredi-ents of a mainstream radio staple, and should fit mostAC outlets like a glove. Egil Houeland, head of music atNorwegian hot AC station Radio 102/Haugesund, sayshe programmed it because,"It's a great song, whichgradually creeps up on you and works its way underyour skin. Houeland adds that he sees its prospects assolid but moderate. "Although it may not become amajor hit it is perfectradio fodder andprovides some veryenjoyable adult lis-

tening. Whetheryou are interestedin Shakespeare'slove life or not, it re-mains very pleasantto listen to and wecurrently play it

AIRPLAY

On the airiccckly oriy)lav (olteinn

It's been a great week for the Jive label in theEuropean Radio Top 50. Britney Spears' ...Baby OneMore Time (Jive), still at the top, seems not so muchnews any more as an immutable fact. However,challenger Robbie Williams rises to number twowith Strong (Chrysalis) and is gaining air power, es-pecially in Germany, where he made the top in theregional airplay listing. Other good news for Jive isthat the label scores the highest new entry so farthis year with the new Backstreet Boys single, IWant It That Way. Finding its way in at number 14,it beats this years' previous highest new entryrecord set by Cher's Strong Enough, which came inat number 19 back in February.

Basyl De Groot, one of the heads of music at 3FM, the Dutch national public CHR station, judgesI Want It That Way a massive hit: "It's a fantasticradio record, and I've already heard a couple oftracks from the album, which are even better andsound a bit more grown-up." The track also sparkeda minor radio war. The official radio date for thisBackstreet Boys release was Monday, April 12, butrival commercial Dutch CHR station Radio 538faxed a press release the Friday before, claimingthat they would broadcast the single on the Sundaybefore the official radio date. In reaction to that fax,3FM downloaded the single as an MP3-file from theinternet and played it immediately on the Fridaybefore. Radio 538 responded by playing a better -quality download the next minute. Basyl De Grootexplains: "Congratulations to Radio 538, becausethat fax was a good PR move for them. But becausethey broke the pact, we thought we had to react thisway. The Radio 538 move was designed only forpress impact. At 3FM, our slogan is 'New MusicFirst', and it doesn't only mean unknown acts. Itseems that our new music strategy is paying off, be-cause the latest daytime listening figures show anupward trend for 3FM. Now we're even topping ACstation Sky Radio, with 17.6 percent to their 16.4percent, while Radio 538 gets 5.9 percent." In thefuture, De Groot expects a lot from Kiss Me by Six-pence None The Richer (Columbia) and Red Alertby Basement Jaxx (XL).

Somewhat overshadowed by the Backstreet Boysthis week is another high new entry, Canned Heat byJamiroquai (Sony S2), which warms up at number17. The soulful track-with the same name as theU.S. blues rock outfit founded in the '60s-receivesan especially warm embrace in Scandinavia, whereit's already number four.

Now that he's broken in at 33 with Livin' LaVida Loca (Columbia), which is already performingwell in southern Europe, Ricky Martin's schedulewill become crazy again.

New at 40, Shania Twain affectsindifference, but Scandinavian pro-grammers are impressed with theuptempo dance mix of That Don't Im-press Me Much (Mercury). It's al-ready at number 3 in the region.

And at 48, Dee-Tah scores a sec-ond European radio hit, El ParadisoRico, after reaching number 34 inNovember last year with Relax (bothffrr). A pop dance tune which relies

heavily on Madonna's La Isla Bonita, El ParadisoRico is a little piece of heaven on UK radio.

Bubbling under this week, and tipped for futureentry, are these songs from the most added listing:Look At Me by Geri Halliwell (EMI), Anyone by Rox-ette (Roxette Recordings/EMI), Red Alert by Base-ment Jaxx (XL), I Wanna Be With You by BruceSpringsteen (Columbia) and Everytime You Go Awayby 4 The Cause (RCA).

New French ratings

The main new finding of the sur-vey is that for the first time, theaudience for music networks hasexceeded that of full -service andtalk stations. Overall, music net-works had a combined cumulativeaudience of 56.5 percent against53.6 for non -music networks.

"Since 1982, a number ofmethodologies have been used, butwhatever the system, they all pro-duce the same result: RTL is by farthe market leader," commentsPhilippe Labro, vice-president ofRTL.

The new ratings sweep coveringthe January -March 1999 periodunveiled on April 20 by rating organ-isation Mediametrie was welcomedby most broadcasters in that it givesmore precise information on listen-ers' choices.

In the new survey, called 75 000+,the sample of listeners is no longerasked which station they listened tothe day before, but during the previ-ous 24 hours. "By moving the collec-tion of the information closer to thetime during which they listened tothe radio, the memory of the samplegroup is more accurate," explainsArnaud de Saint Roman, head ofMediametrie's radio department.

Mediametrie stresses that thenew figures should not be comparedwith past surveys. However, networkmanagers are quick to point to theirown market share and audiencegains as indicated by the new data.

Alain Weill, general manager ofNRJ, considers that "if the new 75000+ figures are not comparablewith the former surveys, it never-theless shows the same trends. NR.J.reaches its peak with almost 5.8million daily listeners, confirmingmore than ever that NRJ is the sec-ond most popular commercial radioservice in France and the leadingmusical network."

Weill also points out that Goldstation Nostalgie, which wasacquired last year by NRJ, hasextended its reach with its fullyrevamped schedule. Says Weill,"With more than 3.5 million listen-ers, Nostalgie has broken its ownrecord and becomes the.second musicnetwork in France, less than a yearafter we took it over-at that timeNostalgie was ranked fifth."

However, NRJ is not theonly winner in the survey.Europe 1 Communication alsosees all its networks growing, Statio

tising campaign. This is solely due tothe quality of our product and thefocus on our core target demograph-ic, the 25 -34 -year -olds," explains gen-eral manager Frederic Schlesinger.

At CLT-UFA's music networks,Axel Duroux, president ofCHR/dance Fun Radio and soft ACRTL2, is satisfied that the 75 000+survey reveals that Fun Radio ispicking up new listeners. "AlthoughMediametrie told us two weeks agothat the figures are not comparablewith previous surveys I am happywith Fun's growth, which comesquicker than we hoped," he says.

"However, this survey proves thatthe audience has endorsed our newformat [launched last December] andwe are pleased to see that we havenow more 20-25 year old listenersthan 15-19."

Geri puts Ginger back on Spice racksound, which stands out more thanthe Spice Girls ever did," saysRobert Sehlberg, music director atCHR/AC station SR P5 Radio Stock-holm. "We played Shirley Basseyand the Propellerheads and thatworked really well for us-and thistrack is not disimilar."

Like Sehlberg, EMs Live musiceditor Peter Grobovski says that theCologne -based CHR station wouldhave playlisted Look At Me "even if ithad been by a [lesser known] singer.It's not a cover or a poppy tune, but amodern and well -made song." Headds, "the track has an unusualsound which we certainly didn'texpect. This could even make theTop 10 in Germany."

Look At Me split the weeklyplaylist meeting at Radio City96.7/Liverpool right down the mid-dle. "Half of the people in the meet-ing hate the track, and the other halflove it," comments Richard Maddock,head of music at the CHR station,"but we all agree we must play itbecause it will be massive and ouraudience will want to hear it."

Meanwhile, Halliwell herself istaking pains to draw a firm lineunder her past as a Spice Girl. In thevideo for Look At Me, she paradesher former incarnation "GingerSpice" in a coffin during a NewOrleans -style funeral scene. She tellsMusic & Media she decided to leavethe Spice Girls when the band's pro-motion schedule did not allow her toact as a spokeswoman for U.K chari-

ties fighting breast cancer."I was losing my soul," explains

Halliwell, who is also a goodwillambassador for the UN's DFPA(family planning) and PopulationConcern projects. 'We all have thepower to make a difference, and Ijust felt I had to start making thatdifference," she says.

A double life as a pop star and afigurehead for charity organisationsis Halliwell's declared mission."Both parts of my life are just asimportant to me," she says. "At theend of the day [my work for] the UNis a life-long project, it doesn't mat-ter if I'm 26 or 50. But I cannot seemyself juggling around a pop careerwhen I'm 50."

Halliwell is the second high -pro-file breakaway from a major pop actto sign to EMI U.K. for a solo career.Ex -Take That star Robbie Williamsmoved to EMI'sChrysalis label in1996. "I knew thatEMI just had a tasteof success with Rob-bie," says Halliwell."There is nothinglike that hungerwhen you've had abit of that and wantmore. - I knew Iwould get the atten-tion I wanted atEMI."

EMI Europepresident and CEORupert Perry inter -

continued from pagel

prets Halliwell's decision as a sign ofappreciation for the company's com-mitment to long term artist develop-ment. "We are very happy that Gerichose EMI to launch her solo career,"he comments. "It shows a great dealof confidence in our abilities."

Halliwell believes that success orfailure will ultimately rest on herown shoulders. "Robbie made him-self successful," she argues. "As anartist, nobody can sell yourself betterthan yourself. The record companycan work their pants off, but at theend of the day you cannot dress up acheap bottle of perfume."

Even if her debut album Schizo-phrenic-which is due out on June7-bombs, Halliwell will have tak-en satisfaction from the project. "Iwas scared silly to do this[album]," she reflects, "but I've giv-en it my best shot."

RAJAR rewrites bookcontinued from page 1

dent the opportunity to create a per-sonalised "station list" against whichto record their listening habits.

An individual will create his orher "station list" with the help of aRAJAR interviewer, working out thestations which the respondent is like-ly to listen to during the course of aweek. The selection of stations ismade with the aid of a pack of stationprompt cards, with one card for eachradio station broadcasting in the lis-tener's area. There are also addition-al spaces in the diary to enable theparticipant to add the names of anyother stations they may unexpectedlytune into.

A further significant developmentin RAJAR '99 is the introduction ofindividual diary placement. Previ-ously, several respondents were oftentaken from a single household.Under the new system, only onerespondent will be interviewed perhousehold. This, says RAJAR, willhave the benefit of "eliminating anypotential skew which can arise out ofshared listening between householdmembers," and will result in"increased sample reliability andmore robust data."

The requirement to create a"Personal Repertoire Diary" alsomeans that every individual whofills in a diary will now be individu-ally briefed by a RAJAR interview-er. "In the past, troublesometeenagers are likely to have beenbriefed by Mum," explains Commer-cial Radio Companies Associationchief executive/chairman andRAJAR board member Paul Brown."Now they will be briefed by trainedinterviewers."

The listening figures of all sta-tions, from small locals to nationalservices, will now be reported everythree months (on a cumulative orrolling basis, in the case of the small-er stations). Under the previousRAJAR system, only the results ofthe largest stations were reportedeach quarter, with the results of localstations published twice, or in somecases just once, per year.

RAJAR will publish the first set ofresults under the new system inJune, covering the first quarter of1999. The body wants everyone inthe industry to regard this as "YearZero" and to avoid comparisons withprevious RAJAR data.

However, the results, originallyscheduled for release in May, havebeen delayed by problems in theimplementation of the new stationprompt card system. Researchers atIPSOS/RSL identified particularproblems where two separate radioservices share similar names (forexample, Clyde 1 FM and Clyde 2 inGlasgow, or Capital FM and CapitalGold in London).

In the early part of the surveyperiod, a few interviewers were notpermitting respondents to nominatetwo similarly -named radio services intheir Personal Repertoire Diaries.The fault was corrected in the middleof the survey period by the issue ofrevised instructions to interviewers.

Managing director of MTV Europe's U.K andNorthern services, Michiel Bakker, has beenappointed MD, MTV U.K Networks, with immedi-ate effect. In his new role,Bakker will oversee thebroadcasters' first stepsinto digital TV, with itssix channel package corn -prising MTV U.K. &Ireland, MTV Base,MTV Extra, VII -1, VII -1Classic and M2. Thechannels will be launchedon July 1 via the BSkyBdigital platform. To allowBakker to focus on hisnew position, Alex Ogilvie, his former deputy andVP operations, MTV U.K. & Ireland and MTVNorthern, has been promoted to MD, MTVNorthern and MTV Eastern Europe. In a relatedmove, the company's Spanish, Portuguese andGreek operations have been taken out of MTV'sNorthern feed and have been re -aligned to MTVSouthern under the aegis of Southern MDAntonio Campo Dall'Orto.

Those partaking in Warner Music Inter-national (WMI)'s conclave held April 18-22 inHong Kong noticed that among the guests of WMIchairman Ramon Lopez was former PolyGramMusic Group president Roger Ames. Hotlineunderstands that the appointment of Ames aspresident of WMI is now a matter of days away.

The Isle of Man's parliament, the Tynwald,has voted to accept the recommendations made bythe island's communication commission to awarda long -wave radio licence to the Isle of ManInternational Broadcasting Company. Thecompany intends to use the licence to broadcastan adult -oriented service (provisionally titledMusicMann) to the whole of the U.K. and partsof northern Europe (M&M April 17).

In the wake of Mediamettie's changes to itsradio ratings methodology (see front page story),two leading French music networks-NW (CHR)and Skyrock (CHR/urban)-are asking the rat-ings organisation to start surveying 11-14 yearolds. Mediametrie's current lower age limit is 15.But not all French broadcasters agree with theidea, and Mediametrie itself is opposing the move.

In a development likely to further annoythose in the U.K.'s commercial radio sectorunhappy at the increasing AC slant of public sta-tion BBC Radio 2, insiders say that SteveWright is set to take over the Radio 2 weekdayafternoon show soon to be vacated by EdStewart. Wright, who currently presents week-ends at Radio 2, is a former mainstay of theBBC's CHR outlet Radio 1, and recentlyreceived the Radio Academy's "OutstandingContribution to Music Radio" award.

French indie label Naïve has inked a licensingdeal for the U.K. with Alan McGee's labelCreation, and also with Sony Music's SINEdivision for the rest of Europe for its electronicaact Le Tone. In addition, Naive has signed for-mer Talking Loud R&B act Omar for the worldand-just for France-British rock band Muse,who are currently on Mushroom for the U.K andMaverick in the U.S.

Finally, a number of U.K. programme con-trollers have apparently been bombarded with e -mails purporting to be from genuine Status Quofans asking for "requests." But programmersHotline spoke to strongly suspected the e -mails tobe part of an orchestrated campaign to promotethe veteran rockers' new single, ironically entitledLittle White Lies. "The sad thing is, some recordcompany thinks this sort of thing works," said oneprogrammer.
