The album that rocked 

the world...Critics call 

“All That You Can’t 

Leave Behind” a 

masterpiece. 

U.S. alone, the CD scanned over 850,000 units. 

Many critics say the record is U2's finest work since their 1987 

masterpiece, The Joshua Tree. The album was produced by 

Brian Eno, Daniel Lanois and Steve Lillywhite, and marks the 

bands return to a "classic U2" sound. The Dublin quartet's 

work has been called a renaissance with lush melodies and heart rending lyrics signaling the 

sea of change. Critics have hailed the caliber of U2's songs, written utilizing themes of rebirth 

and redemption,inspiring in their simplicity, as well as their message which reaches out to a 

brighter future. The single, "Stuck In A Moment You Can't Get Out Of" will be the follow up to 

their No.1 smash, "Beautiful Day." In America, "Walk On," a song dedicated to Aung San Suu 

Kyi, Burma's pro-democracy leader, is being released to US radio at the same time. 

U2 manager Paul McGuinness commented: “We enjoy a close and continuing relationship with David Renzer and Crispin Evans at Universal 

Music Publishing Group. The U2 catalog of songs is in excellent hands.”

ANASTACIA 

FATBOY 

SLIM 

Fatboy Slim’s new 

record, Halfway 

Between The Gutter 

and The Stars, is 

fresh with all the 

street beats, pop 

hooks, big rock samples 

and groove as 

his enormously successful 

platinum CD, 

You’ve Come a Long 

Way Baby. Fatboy 

Slim has this time 

enlisted funk diva Macy Gray to front two tracks, 

“Love Life” and “Demons.” Also, UMPG’s own 

funk legend Bootsy Collins plays bass on 

“Weapon Of Choice.” The true appeal of “Halfway 

Between The Gutter And The Stars” is Fatboy 

Slim’s gift for bridging the gap between underground 

club culture and mainstream pop accessibility. 

Rolling Stone gave the record a three and 

1/2 star review.

Outta Love,” Anastacia’s debut album, Not That Kind

Featuring nine songs co-written by Anastacia and material co-written 

and produced by UMPG’s own Sturken and Rogers and Travon Potts, 

the album reached No. 1 on Billboard Magazine’s Pan-European chart 

and remained in its Top 10 for three months. 

Recently Anastacia won Best New International Artist (Revelation 

Internationale De L’Annee) at the M6 Awards in France (the French 

equivalent to MTV) beating out pop stars Christina Aguilera, Shola 

Ama, Enrique Iglesias, Moby and Britney Spears. Based on her worldwide 

record sales, she has also been chosen as Best New Artist by the 

World Music Awards, which will be held in Monaco on May 2, and televised 

worldwide and as a primetime ABC-TV special in June. 

The CD is now set to debut in the U.S. in Spring 2001. Anastacia 

performed with Sir Elton John on his CBS/VH1 special at Madison 

Square Garden. The show was recorded live for his “One Night Only” 

CD released in December (See more on Sir Elton John in UMPG 

Catalogue News - Page 14).

She is exploding around the world and promises to make a huge 

impact in the U.S. in the new year. We have been very excited to welcome 

her to the Universal Music Publishing Group family this year,”

RUDY PEREZ ON A ROLL 

WITH NO. 1 CDs FOR 

AGUILERA, DE LA HOYA 

Rudy Perez named Billboard’s No. 1 

Producer of Year - Hot Latin Tracks 

Latin America 

In the year 2000, the pace has not slowed down for five-time Grammy winner and 

two-time ASCAP Latin Writer of the Year, Rudy Perez, as he recently experienced a 

unique set of major successes with Latin music’s premier recording acts – Christina 

Aguilera, Luis Fonsi, Oscar De La Hoya and Jaci Velasquez. He was also named 

Billboard’s 2000 - No. 1 Producer of the Year in the Hot Latin Tracks category. 

Perez, who this year produced albums and wrote songs for all four Latin stars, 

has generated four No. 1 albums and numerous No. 1 singles. 

Having successfully adapted the Spanish version of Christina Aguilera’s hit, 

“Genie In A Bottle,” Perez was asked to produce her entire Latin album, Mi Reflejo 

(RCA), which was released in September. The CD, debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Rudy Perez 

Latin 50, breaking sales records for a female Latin artist. The first single adapted by 

Perez, “[Come On Over – All I Want is You] Ven Conmigo Solamente Tu,” also shot to No. 1 of Billboard’s 

Hot Latin Tracks. Perez adapted all the songs from her previous album, including “Por Siempre Tu,” the 

Spanish version of her current single, “I Turn To You.” He also wrote most of the album’s new material, 

including “Si No Te Hubiera Conocido,” a duet with Luis Fonsi, for whom Perez co-wrote and produced 

another No. 1 single from earlier this year entitled, “Imaginame Sin Ti” (Universal Latino). 

One month after Aguilera’s release, champion boxer Oscar De La Hoya’s debut album for EMI Latin 

(also produced by Perez) went to No. 1 and also spawned a No. 1 single, “Ven a Mi (Run to Me),” which 

Perez co-wrote with Barry, Robin and Maurice Gibb. The single knocked out Aguilera’s second single, 

“Por Amarte Asi,” from the No. 1 position on Billboard’s Hot Latin Tracks chart. Perez wrote/co-wrote six 

of the songs. 

This year Perez also took Jaci Velasquez to No. 1 producing and co-writing her single, “Imagine Me Without You,” which topped the Christian 

airplay charts at No. 1 for 4 weeks in a row. Her CD, also produced by Perez, led sales at Christian record store for 2 weeks. Perez also guided 

Jaci Velasquez’ successful foray into the Latin market in 1999 on Sony Discos with “Llegar A Ti,” which earned her a Grammy nod for best 

Latin pop performance. With “Llegar A Ti,” Velásquez topped Billboard’s Hot Latin Tracks chart and won the GMA’s Dove Award with producer 

Perez for best Spanish-language album of the year.

Territory Spotlight - Sweden 

UMPG SWEDEN’S ELITE STABLE 

OF SONGWRITERS PRODUCE STRING OF 

POP HITS FOR WESTLIFE, 

BACKSTREET BOYS, BRITNEY SPEARS 

As one of Universal Music Publishing Group’s leading territories, UMPG 

Sweden is generating a flurry of international chart activity for the world’s 

biggest pop bands. Recent hit songs for Westlife, Britney Spears, 

Backstreet Boys, and others have put UMPG Sweden’s top songwriters, 

including Alexander Kronlund, Franciz, Pelle Nylen and Lisa Miskovsky, 

in hot demand. This, combined with relationships with Cheiron Productions 

and Murlyn Music, continues to keep the UMPG Swedish tunesmiths quite 

active. “In Sweden, 

pop acts like 

Backstreet Boys, 

N’Sync and Britney 

Spears have found 

what they were looking 

for – a strong 

sense of melody and 

“In Sweden, pop acts like Backstreet Boys, 

N’Sync and Britney Spears have found what 

they were looking for – a strong sense of 

melody and more than just beats...” 

- Martin Ingestrom, M.D, UMPG Sweden 

more than just beats. With artists and A&R execs now migrating to Sweden 

looking for good songs, the doors have burst open to the international market 

and there doesn’t seem to be any sign of slowing down in the near future,” 

says Martin Ingestrom, Managing Director of UMPG 

Sweden. 

ALEXANDER KRONLUND 

Signed to UMPG for more than 7 years, songwriter 

Alexander Kronlund, who co-wrote Meja’s 1 million 

selling debut album on Sony, recently co-wrote two 

songs for Britney Spears sophomore CD, Oops I 

Did It Again. Kronlund co-wrote her hit single, 

“Lucky,” with Max Martin and Rami and also cowrote 

“Don’t Go Knockin’ On My Door.” As a non- 

Britney Spears 

exclusive member of the Cheiron production team, 

Kronlund and principal Max Martin are working together on a variety of new 

projects. Having also worked with Backstreet Boys and N’Sync, Kronlund is 

currently co-writing with Swedish star Robyn and Universal Sweden act 

Lambretta. 

FRANCIZ 

When the Backstreet Boys were recording in Stockholm with Cheiron, 

UMPG’s creative team pitched Franciz (half of the Franciz and LePont writing 

team) to Martin Dodd at Zomba, which resulted in meeting between the 

songwriters and the band. Consequently, Backstreet Boys recorded two of 

their songs for their current smash CD, Black and Blue (one of which was 

produced by Franciz & LePont). With this success and a new track in the 

works for Jessica Simpson, UMPG expects many exciting things to come 

from Franciz. 

LISA MISKOVSKY 

Currently working on her own solo album to be 

released in 2001 on Stockholm Records, Lisa 

Miskovsky co-wrote Backstreet Boys new hit 

single, “Shape of My Heart,” with Max Martin 

and Rami. The song, originally written for 

Miskovsky’s own album, was passed along to 

Backstreet Boys the Backstreet Boys by Max Martin when 

Miskovsky determined it didn’t fit her style. 

PELLE NYLEN 

A new signing to UMPG, Pelle Nylen co-wrote Westlife’s hit single, “My 

Love,” which debuted at No. 1 in the UK. He recently worked with new MCA 

Records U.S. signing, Carly Hennessy. Nylen is 

actively co-writing with some of UMPG’s main 

U.K. writers and the Swedish songwriting elite, 

including former Cheiron writers Jorgen 

Elofsson and Andreas Carlsson. Following the 

Westlife single, Nylen has song requests coming 

in from around the world. 

Under the direction of Managing 

Director, Martin Ingestrom, Universal 

Music Publishing Group Sweden is one 

of UMPG’s leading territories featuring 

some of Europe’s most elite talent 

including international artists Meja, 

Thomas Rusiak, The Hellacopters, 

ABBA, Clawfinger and Aqua, as well as 

hot local acts Markoolio, Sahara 

Hotnights, Camilla Brinck, Caesar’s 

Palace, Shimoli, Hakan hellstrom 

amongst others. UMPG Sweden’s top 

songwriters include Franciz (of the 

Franciz & Lepont team), Alexander 

Kronlund, Pelle Nylen, Christer 

Sandelin, Harry Sommerdahl and Per 

Stappe.

RONDOR 

CATALOGUE SPOTLIGHTS: 

THE BEACH BOYS 

Among the major catalogues that Rondor Music controls, The Beach Boys is one of the most 

extraordinary. With songs like, “Help Me Rhonda,” “I Get Around,” and “Good Vibrations,” 

the Beach Boys sound is emblematic of a timeless age of innocence in American music. 

THE CARPENTERS 

Rondor’s veteran writer of 31 years, Richard Carpenter, has compiled 

an incredible body of work— the Carpenters catalogue, which 

has retained a timeless status with its rich harmonies and pop sensibility. 

A whole new generation is expressing an appreciation for 

this music with covers of “Top of The World,” “Yesterday Once 

More,” and “Merry Christmas Darling”. Writers Paul Williams and 

Roger Nichols contributed such songs as “Rainy Days and 

Mondays,” and “We’ve Only Just Begun,” which are also a part of 

this rich catalogue. 

THE EAST MEMPHIS MUSIC CATALOGUE 

With writers and performers such as Otis Redding, Wilson 

Pickett, Sam & Dave, Isaac Hayes, Booker T., Steve Cropper 

and David Porter, the soul of Stax Records and Rondor Music's 

East Memphis catalogue is an important part of American history. 

Thriving during an era of civil unrest it showed the world that 

music was a beautiful blend of color. It gave us a much grittier 

and sexier sound than what was being released in Detroit, which 

was much more polished. Songs like, "I'm A Soulman," "Midnight 

Hour," "Green Onions," "Walk-in The Dog," and "Sittin' On The 

Dock Of The Bay," are classic works that define our musical heritage. 

Ron Moss, Senior Director of A&R for Rondor Music, said, 

"We feel honored here at Rondor to be trusted guardians of this 

rich history." 

NEW SIGNINGS: SALIVA

UMPG’s Successful New 

Administration and System 

Model To Be Adopted for 

Rondor Integration 

When MCA and PolyGram merged to form 

UMPG as we know it today, it was decided that 

the company would be best served by utilizing 

PolyGram’s fully integrated, centralized, automated 

administrative and system model (formerly 

“PIPS”) to provide the consistency and 

completeness demanded to run the joint companies 

systems efficiently 

and effectively. 

Theo Strikkers, Director 

of Worldwide Admini-stration 

, and Mike Donegan, 

Director of Business 

Information Systems, were 

primarily responsible for 

this critical transition and 

managed it successfully. 

By combining the MCA 

data within their unique, centralized data system, 

UMPG’s 800,000 copyrights are now 

administered Internationally via “PIPS”. The 

system includes a central administrative headquarters 

(located in London) , three regional 

hubs (Los Angeles, London and Hong Kong) 

and 51 systems worldwide . Through this network, 

UMPG manages and circulates approximately 

800,000 copyrights and processes millions 

of royalty transactions around the world. 

With single points of data entry, UMPG’s system 

makes the territory of acquisition responsible 

for the completeness of their repertoire in all 

territories. This centralized 

model gives UMPG a commercial, 

competitive edge. 

“In a rapidly expanding 

and evolving publishing 

landscape, a scalable, 

centralized system such as 

UMPG’s is critical.” said 

Donegan 

Strikkers 

Michael J Sammis, Chief 

Financial Officer. “Mike 

and Theo have developed 

a global royalty administration methodology 

which soundly differentiates our business 

model from that of our competition. They are 

motivated executives who’ve taken fundamental 

backoffice administration to a new level, 

ensuring maximized, global collections on all of 

our works. The value proposition this creates 

for UMPG, our customers and clients is 

unequalled.” 

Rondor International Integration 

In an effort to further capitalize on the efficiencies 

created by this system, the Rondor catalog 

has already been converted and integrated. 

Continued integration procedures will be implemented 

throughout the first half of 2001 under 

the supervision of Mike and Theo, who continue 

to focus their efforts on global administration 

synergies.

“Beacon has a solid history of producing outstanding

of their success is their selection of talented and innovative 

composers. We look forward to a long successful 

relationship.” 

With the additional of Beacon Films, Universal

Film and TV Spotlight: 

LAURENCE KAYE 

Head of Film and TV 

Music - U.K. 

As Head of Film and TV music for UMPG’s UK 

office, Laurence Kaye manages an eight person 

staff which handles the licensing of music 

for motion pictures, TV, advertising as well as 

multi-media, a new growth area. Since Kaye joined the company more than five years 

ago, the department has experienced revenue growth of more than 600%, which is 

attributed in part to growth in the market for music in commercials. 

“It’s cool for bands to have their music in commercials. Now everyone wants a 

new Fatboy Slim,” says Kaye. In the UK, and most of Europe, 50% of licensing 

income is generated from advertising. Kaye says that Levi’s started the trend in the 

UK by using a number of classic soul songs in hugely successful commercials. 

In order to market UMPG’s extensive catalogue, the department frequently produces 

samplers of new and catalogue material. “They have a long shelf life and the 

response is phenomenal,” he says. 

Kaye’s team also works closely with Universal’s record companies and acquires 

film soundtrack albums (e.g. Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels) on their behalf, 

which can sometimes aid to increase the film’s music budgets and UMPG’s overall 

chances of placing music in the film. “Due to lower film budgets in the UK, the work 

we do here has to be, in a sense, more creative. We find hidden gems, and hits 

before they are hits -- the songs production companies can afford to license,” added 

Kaye. 

After 12 years experience working for several major labels and music publishing 

companies, Kaye says that the volume and intensity of his work (including reading 

scripts, listening to music, watching TV, meeting with directors, and creative execs) 

has never waned but is part of the thrill. He muses, “There are days when I want to 

UK FILM & TV HIGHLIGHTS: BILLY ELLIOT: Stephen Daldry’s film directorial debut, Billy Elliott, 

was the biggest UK film of 2000. Two UMPG UK writers Steve Mac (Rokstone Music) and Wayne 

Hector co-wrote the end title music, “I Believe,” recorded by UK signed Stephen Gately. The soundtrack 

was released through Polydor Records. The film has taken £13 million at the UK box office. 

THE VIRGIN SUICIDES:The film The Virgin Suicides, which includes a score composed by UMPG 

artist Air, has grossed £15 million worldwide. The soundtrack has sold over 500,000 copies. KEVIN 

& PERRY: The film Kevin & Perry was a No 1 hit at the UK box office taking in over £10 million. 

Universal Music Publishing UK has five songs in the film and on the soundtrack album, including 

titles by Fatboy Slim, Groove Armada and The Clash.
