How are Chris Brown, Jack White, Black Sabbath, Carly Rae Jepsen and Bieber faring?
Winner: Jack White and Third Man Records
White Stripes who? Jack White has moved on from his other popular groups to step out solo first time, and to great effect. His "Blunderbuss" scored No. 1 on the Billboard 200, he's confirmed work with Mick Jagger and Radiohead, continues to put out an impressive array of vinyl releases from Stephen Colbert to Insane Clown Posse to Beck -- many drops that he, in fact, produces and plays on. The man does what he wants, isn't that the dream?
