STREETDATE September 16, 1999---[the post-Floyd update :) ]
Rumors are flying that *NSync has left their label, RCA, for Jive [also home to fellow Johnny Wright proteges BSB and Britney]. Well, don't count RCA out of the picture just yet.
The deal is not 100% done, and RCA's parent, BMG, intends to fight. "*NSync is a BMG act and we will protect and enforce our rights vigorously," says a company spokesperson in a press release.
The deal gets even more complicated, since BMG owns twenty percent of Jive's parent, Zomba Music. BMG also distributes Jive releases.
But how could members of *NSync, even if they were grumbling about not seeing enough earnings from their mega sales, simply decide to up and leave their label? Record company contracts are notoriously complex, but *NSync's deal is even more complicated than most. When the group first debuted, there was little appetite for teen pop at home so they originally signed to Transcontinental through BMG in Germany. When the group exploded overseas and wanted to put out records in America, *NSync signed a licensing deal with RCA, which meant RCA marketed, promoted and profited from the band in the States. The question teams of lawyers will now have to wrangle over is whether or not *NSync has released enough records to fulfill the terms of their RCA licensing agreement. If they have, Jive may soon have a teen pop trifecta. If not, RCA could get another crack with *NSync, although the label will almost certainly have to sweeten its original deal.
Johnny Wright told According to Wright, "We don't want to rush the record out," and while a new single will hit radio by the end of the year, the album won't be out until early 2000.
