IB/mktshare tease

BREAKFAST OF CHAMPIONS: Guess who’s the eighth class of the California Hall of Fame, announced yesterday? Among the 19 inductees are Joan Didion, Francis Ford Coppola, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and none other than Jimmy Iovine and Dr. Dre. Brooklyn transplant Iovine has another distinction: he’s the focal point of I.B. Bad’s biweekly column for the second straight time. There’s good reason for this rare distinction: No individual has had a greater combined impact on the music and tech sectors in recent weeks than this guy, as I.B. details. Our industry insider also handicaps the field in the 2014 marketshare contest based on the Q4 releases most likely to move the needle, citing stats from our latest year-to-date marketshare update, broken out on the eve of the money quarter. Think of these complementary postings as the virtual bacon and eggs for you to consume with your morning coffee. (9/25a)
