With two of the three Glastonbury headliners in Dua Lipa and Coldplay, plus performers like Charli xcx, Burna Boy and Janelle Monáe – and a continued hot streak of breaking stars across our labels – our CEO of Recorded Music Max Lousada sat down with Variety ahead of the festival. “Warner’s Glastonbury supremacy is emblematic of a major label operation that is firing on all cylinders. Its triumphs extend all around the world, with Lousada gleefully listing successes from Argentina (where Maria Becerra recently became the first female domestic artist to headline El Monumental, River Plate soccer team’s 70,000-seater stadium in Buenos Aires) to China (where Charlie Zhou has sold more than a million copies of his “Shenself” album), and most points in between.” - Variety Read more: https://lnkd.in/eciZYFyF

Congrats!
I am tremendously honored to be featured in HITS Magazine's Pride issue this year. It's been a long journey since my first gay rights march in Austin in 1989. We've made so much progress and continue to work to preserve the rights we've secured. I feel fortunate to be able to work in a company (WarnerMusic) and in an environment that is welcoming and truly celebrates diversity. Happy Pride! https://lnkd.in/eBn4SEBt
