Netflix Co-CEO Greg Peters, who oversaw the launch of Netflix in Japan in a previous exec role, said the strong debut of the series One Piece cleared “a very high bar” and attests to the company’s “evolving” content approach.
“This is a very high bar to meet, to basically take a storied manga and deliver it in English-language, live action,” the exec said. “Pretty much all the haters are out, looking for a reason to hate you for it. To be able to deliver it and have it be massively popular and a success around the world is amazing to see.”
Shortly before Peters made his comments at the Goldman Sachs Communacopia & Technology Conference, Netflix released its weekly Top 10 charts, which had One Piece topping the English-language rankings. While it fell short of Wednesday or Queen Charlotte levels, the adaptation of Eiichiro Oda’s manga is in the Top 10 in 93 countries and No. 1 in 46 of them, with 18.5 million views from August 28 to September 3.
One Piece resulted from extensive collaboration between the U.S. and Japanese content teams at Netflix, Peters said. The series is an example of Netflix execs trying to find “places where there’s demand we’re not serving effectively” across the global subscriber base of 238 million, Peters said. “What we’re seeing is that the calculus behind that is getting more interesting and more complicated in ways that are very exciting to me.” During the rest of 2023, Peters estimated, several dozen new series will come along with the goal of “breaking down those barriers” between creators and audiences across territories. Paced by the ultimate example, 2021’s Squid Game, Netflix has increasingly prioritized series and films that can play well globally in spite of — or sometimes because of

Slipknot and Stone Sour frontman Corey Taylor has revealed that he began releasing solo music as he felt he wasn’t getting the credit he deserved for writing with his two bands.Speaking to Paste Magazine to promote his recently released sophomore solo album ‘CMF2’, Taylor – who was a member of Stone Sour before Slipknot – spoke of the “misconception around who was writing what for what band”.“When Stone Sour first started, not only was I playing guitar constantly, but I was also the lead guitarist and main writer. Honestly, one of the reasons why I was very adamant about starting my solo thing is that there was a weird misconception around who was writing what for what band,” Taylor said.Taylor said on the Stone Sour front: “Maybe this is where my ego comes into play, but I felt like I wasn’t getting the credit for the things I was actually writing.

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic It’s been a challenging time lately for Maren Morris in the country music world, as her views on key issues of the day have been in conflict with those of some of country’s more right-leaning artists or fans.
