Mixer Mark Endert is riding the rails of success with the smash hit single “Hey, Soul Sister,” from Train. Endert mixed the single, along with the whole of Train’s album, Save Me San Francisco. “Hey, Soul Sister” is approaching 3 million digital singles sold, which has kept the track in the top 5 songs on iTunes for the past few weeks. It's also the #2 track at Hot AC, #6 at Top 40, and #8 at Triple A. Save me San Francisco has steadily climbed the Billboard Top 200 and is currently in the Top 40.

This past Sunday, November 22, the American public voted Gloriana as the Breakthrough Artist of 2009 at the American Music Awards. Their self-titled debut entered the Billboard Top 200 at #3 in early August, following the strength of their smash single, "Wild At Heart." The Nettwerk connection? Producer Management client Matt Serletic developed, co-wrote and produced the entire debut album, and even signed the group to his own Emblem Records. 

Matt Serletic is a Grammy Award-winning producer and writer whose credits include the creation of such enduring classics of pop music as Carlos Santana’s “Smooth,” Rob Thomas’ “Lonely No More,” matchbox twenty’s “Push” and Aerosmith’s “I Don’t Want To Miss a Thing.”

Debuting at #1 on the Billboard Top 200 Albums Chart, Bon Jovi's The Circle, which includes the hit single "We Weren't Born To Follow," gives Nettwerk client and Grammy-winning mixer Bob Clearmountain another #1 album to add to his impressive discography. Clearmountain has enjoyed success before with Bon Jovi, having mixed the albums These Days and Bounce, as well as the classic single "Always."

Congratulations Bob!

Rock superstar Daughtry's new album Leave This Town--produced by Howard Benson, engineered by Mike Plotnikoff and mixed by Chris Lord-Alge--debuted at the top of the Billboard 200 with 270,000 sold in its first week, giving Daughtry  the distinction of the only American Idol alumni with back to back #1 albums. 

Grammy Award winning Mixer Chris Lord-Alge is continuing his successful partnership with Waves LTD--the leading innovator of audio signal processing tools--with the introduction of the CLA Classic Compressors, four impeccable models of compressors considered as classic by audio engineers the world over.   Chris will introduce and give a live demonstration of the CLA Classic Compressors at a private event at his studio, Mix LA, in Los Angeles on July 22nd. 

Chris has previously partnered with Waves LTD with his line of signature presets for the SSL 4000 Collection, a bundle of plug-ins that precisely recreate the sonics of the legendary Solid State Logic 4000 series recording console. 

Producer/Writer Matt Serletic is having a four star summer with releases from Rob Thomas and Gloriana.   The highly anticipated second solo album from Rob Thomas, Cradlesong, was released on June 30th and came in last week at #3 on the SoundScan, with over 121,000 albums sold. Rolling Stone gives Cradlesong a four star review, stating that Serletic’s production is “sleek and seamless.”

Country Weekly gave Gloriana’s EP “The Way It Goes," which includes the smash hit and Serletic-produced single “Wild At Heart,” a four star review as well. Serletic is currently working on an album for Tyler Hilton and will once again be collaborating with Santana for his next album. 

The soundtrack to perhaps the biggest movie of the summer, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, has been given a little help from some of the biggest producers and mixers in the music industry and on the Nettwerk Producer Management roster.
