GOULDING GIRL Ellie Goulding celebrates hitting a double milestone with 10 million singles and 3 million albums sold with a suitably large presentation disc. “From the beginning Ellie was always a fantastic singer and songwriter, but it is her development as a performer and her level of engagement with her fans that have really helped carve her out as an international artist,” said Polydor president Ferdy Unger-Hamilton on the occasion. “What she has achieved is a testament to her really, and we have really loved watching her grow.”
ARCHIVE MUSIC WEEK June 27 1998
A&M staff are in urgent discussions over their futures following last week’s decision to close the company after 29 years. Polygram UK chairman/CEO John Kennedy blames the closure on the rising cost of doing business in the UK…HMV is reviewing its in-store PA policy after around 100 troublemakers began climbing over display racks and stamping on CDs at its Oxford Circus store during a performance by Destiny’s Child. A HMV spokesperson said: “What happened is no reflection on the band.”…Tickets for this weekend’s Glastonbury Festival have finally sold out, making it one of the slowest years for sales in the event’s history. Organisers blame the slow take-up on the extra 15,000 tickets allocated, the World Cup and last year’s poor weather….The Supernatural’s nomination for best contemporary song at the Ivor Novello Awards last month looks like a key step in the wider recognition of their talent. Andy Ross, who signed the band to his Food label in 1995, said: “They’ve always been a bit sniggered at, but they’re pretty popular and they consistently write great songs.”
NEW RELEASES RECOMMENDED 27.06.98
SPARKLE Be Careful BEASTIE BOYS Hello Nasty
Be Careful by R&B “superstar” Sparkle is Single of the Week. The “classy ballad” has been written and produced by R Kelly and should “stick around if given the chance.” The Beastie Boys 22-track release Hello Nasty is Album of the Week. With “block-rockin’ breakbeats, lazy funk licks, Space Invader samples and jazz,” the album is “another example of why the Beasties are globally respected,” says Music Week.
