TAKING THE RAP Kanye West and Jay-Z's Watch The Throne took the O2 Arena by storm last week – leaving promoter Live Nation basking in the glory of handling the biggest ever hip-hop tour to visit the venue. To mark the occasion, the O2's assistant GM Sally Davies and programming manager Emma Bownes presented LN's Andy Copping with a nice shiny frame. AEG and LN in perfect harmony: I'mma let you finish, but this is the most cordial coming together of live music business giants of ALL TIME.
KEY SONGS IN THE LIFE OF...
RAK SANGHVI UK Managing Director, Sony/ATV
First record you remember buying? Outlandos D’Amour by The Police. Though the first record I was given was a compilation record by Pinky & Perky, including their version of Rose Garden by Joe South.
Last track you downloaded? Greyhound by Swedish House Mafia, a deeply infectious tune. Watch out for Rudimental’s Feel The Love which I suspect will be my next download.
JUSTIN TIME Children’s songs specialist Justin Fletcher received his first ever silver disc last week for debut record Hands Up… The Album on the Little Demon label, through Demon Music Group. The album features 20 classic children’s songs, along with two new tracks – covering everything from The Teddy Bear’s Picnic, The Laughing Policeman to the brand new single Hands Up.

Which track would you like played at your funeral? That’s a hard one, and not something I’ve thought about before now – I tend not to focus that far ahead, and am assuming/hoping that that event is some way away. Perhaps, In My Life by The Beatles. Or maybe even James Brown’s (Paid The Cost To Be) The Boss.
What’s your karaoke speciality? Pass Out by Tinie Tempah. Nothing more to say about that one – it’s self-evidently great. Although my rendition may not be.
Which song was the first dance at your wedding? It was You’re The First, My Last, My Everything by the walrus of love himself, Barry White.

What’s your favourite single/ track of all time? This is a completely impossible question. How can anyone name their favourite track of all time? If pushed, I’d have to say What’s Going On by Marvin Gaye. That said, I’m sure I’ll have a new favourite down the line…
Recommend a track Music Week readers may not have heard… Sara by Bob Dylan, from the album Desire. This is actually my favourite Dylan album, and one of my prized possessions is an autographed copy.
