John Janick - Variety500 - Top 500 Entertainment Business Leaders
Janick’s tenth year at the helm of the Interscope powerhouse included hits from Olivia Rodrigo, Billie Eilish, Lana Del Rey, supergroup Boygenius and LVRN Records’ Summer Walker and 6LACK helping IGA garner 38 Grammy nominations, including 13 in the big four categories. Another leading lady, Karol G., joined the roster of the four-year-old Interscope Miami, which also beat more established Latin labels in acquiring the sought-after Ivan Cornejo and regional Mexican act Grupo Marca Registrada. Rodrigo’s second album debuted at No. 1, aiding the label in leading all major labels in market share through November of this year. The longform video “Kendrick Lamar Live: The Big Steppers Tour,” which ran on Amazon Prime, earned one of IGA’s Grammy nods, while Janick and HYBE chairman Bang Si-Hyuk launched Dream Academy, which aims to assemble a global girl group groomed with K-pop disciplines.
