Two new episodes of This Week In Music are ready for your viewing and educational pleasure at ThisWeekIn.com, YouTube, and iTunes:

We celebrated Black Friday with the head of the music industry’s retail trade group, NARM, Jim Donio. Jim educated us on the history of music retail, which didn’t start out as I’d imagined.

To commemorate the week of release of Jay Frank’s latest book, Hack Your Hit, we aired our previously-recorded interview with Jay where he told us all about leaving CMT/Viacom to start a digital singles-only label in addition to his two “how to make a hit” books. A must for anyone interested in the anatomy of hit-making.

Enjoy, and don’t forget to subscribe on iTunes and YouTube and follow This Week In Music on Twitter and Facebook.

Thanks!
