Warners NZ/FMR buyout - Shayne Carter still has a job
"Warner Music New Zealand will take on the entire local/international artist roster which is signed and licensed to Festival Mushroom Records New Zealand and Australia... Ashley Page, A & R Manager at Festival Mushroom, will join Warner Music NZ as the A & R Manager, responsible for all domestic artists signed to Warner Music and Festival Mushroom." More here.

FFD Chart Watch
FFD slip from #1 to#4. Congrats to Retrun of Fly My Pretties, which debuts at #14. NZ Idol winner Rosita Vai's album has dropped off the charts just a month after release. Her single is at #19, down from #13. Is the NZIdol concept dead as far as album sales go? Idolblog notes that the album has failed to go gold.
ADDED: Idolblog lists Rosita's chart placings - 1st week: #15, 2nd week: #25, 3rd week: #33, 4th week, drops out of top 40.
