While their parent company is going through tough times (and even a&r honcho Madonna isn’t doing as well as usual) the Maverick label is doing better than ever over in the US. The Warners imprint has two of the topfour albums in this week’s US chart, including The Deftones' eponymous new album (2) and the Matrix Reloaded soundtrack (4). The last time the label saw this much action was in the mid 90’s when Alanis Morissette and Candlebox went multi-platinum. Guy Oseary, who started at the label when he was just 16 seemed happy: "I'm just thrilled for the people I work with. I still don't take anything for granted. This placeis my heart and soul. I think what we've accomplished as a small label in the current marketplace is remarkable."
