‘Adore’-able: Harry Styles Scores Second Solo Top 10

Billboard

MARKET WATCH

What’s In Store For Physical Retail • MUSIC SHOPS ARE STRUGGLING AND AMAZON IS FOCUSING ON HOUSEHOLD GOODS. CAN THE VINYL AND CD BUSINESS SURVIVE?

THE LIVE-BUSINESS FORECAST FROM CHINA: THIS TOO SHALL PASS • Experts in China estimate the live sector there will contract by 50% in 2020, but infection numbers are slowing dramatically and offices are opening again

Low Money, More Problems • CURRENCY FLUCTUATIONS ARE FURTHER COMPLICATING THE LATIN LIVE BUSINESS

MORE WAYS TO GET HELP • HEAD TO BILLBOARD.COM/CORONAVIRUS FOR A STATE-BY-STATE RESOURCE GUIDE FOR THE MUSIC COMMUNITY

Fighting The Lockdown Blues • As the European concert business reels amid the coronavirus, music lives, with flash mobs in Italy and virtual concerts in Spain

AMY THOMSON • Manager and Author, Artist Management & Marketing: A Beginners Guide

The Scene

THE NEW SUMMER? • Coachella moved to fall first, and other festivals are following its lead. Can the season sustain them all?

THE NEW NORMAL • As live music shuts down, different parts of the industry have had to get creative and keep spirits high. Metal band Code Orange pulled together an album-release livestream show, manager Doris Muñoz comforted clients, and singer-songwriter Caroline Rose was looking at her first sold-out tour — but then she just wanted to get home

THE MANAGER • Brooklyn-based SKH Media co-owner Keith Hagan had to shift entire tours in an attempt to dodge the outbreak.

THE TOUR PHOTOGRAPHER • A week into touring season, Catherine Powell’s annual spring arena run was cut down to nothing.

THE LIGHTING DESIGNER • When SXSW was canceled, Kelly Ostrander’s packed schedule started to empty. Now the freelancer is looking for a different kind of work entirely.

THE CEO • Sean Miyashiro of the Asian music collective 88Rising can handle a canceled festival. Racism was another story.

LIVE THROUGH THIS • How to create — art, cash flow and new opportunities — amid a crisis

Merch Madness Merch Madness • From light sticks to fish sticks, a dazzling array of branded goods has K-pop fans shelling out the equivalent of thousands of dollars a year to support their favorite acts. How much is too much?
