Syrupy-pop Svengali dive Calder gave us Britney Spears, the Backstreet Boys and 'N Sync. Soon he may get down to really serious business. Clive calder, owner and impresario of jive Records, has taken control of your children's minds— or at least the part devoted to teen idol worship and the syrupy-sweet sounds of prepubescent pop. In 30 years Calder, 54, has built his privately held record company into a pop powerhouse with $800 million in annual sales. Last year Jive had three of the ten top-selling albums in the U.S.: 'N Sync's No Strings Attached, Britney Spears' Oops!... I Did It Again and Black & Blue from the Backstreet Boys. Other top Jive acts include bump-and-grind crooner R. Kelly and the raspy rapper Mystikal.
