So the man who signed Gaga is leaving Interscope to work at Apple under their new deal. I know there's another thread about the acquisition, but I wanted to make sure everyone realized Jimmy was leaving as it's kinda relevant to Gaga.

 

 

 

John Janick has been named chairman and CEO of Interscope Geffen A&M, succeeding Jimmy Iovine, the most successful head of a major label for the last 25 years.

 

The announcement was made to coincide with the finally confirmed news that Apple will indeed acquire Beats, the headphones and digital music streaming company Iovine founded with Dr. Dre in 2008. When that transaction closes after the summer, Iovine will join Apple.

 

A month ago, one UMG executive told Billboard, "Jimmy has kind of handed the label over to him and appears ready to do something else. Janick is absolutely running the label 100%." The same source added that Jimmy was proud to have done "something that none of his peers had done: find a successor."

Am I the only one happy about this...I feel that Interscope has been toxic for Gaga and him leaving will most likely be the best for her :manicure:

Stream my new single, 💜"Heartbeat"💜, on Spotify!
