No doubt the inspiration behind ideas launched by Lady GaGa, Nicki Minaj and Charli XCX, Gwen Stefani’s short-lived solo career went a long way to steer Pop towards its current destination, with her signature look and sound still wooing and wowing audiences almost a decade after it wrapped.
Now it seems that star hankers for another slice of Pop pie, calling on Christina Aguilera‘s manager, Irving Azoff, to add both she and band ‘No Doubt’ to his client list!
A ‘Billboard‘ exclusive below…
The publication shares:
According to sources, Stefani, 44, and No Doubt, the band she fronts, were being courted by multiple managers before inking with Azoff. The singer and No Doubt recently parted ways with Jim Guerinot’s Rebel Waltz Management, their manager since 1998. Azoff’s other clients include the Eagles, Christina Aguilera, Steely Dan, Van Halen, Chelsea Handler, and Cassadee Pope, in addition to the many comics signed with Levity.
Stefani will replace Aguilera on the seventh season of NBC’s popular singing competition series “The Voice” in the fall, alongside new coach Pharrell Williams and Voice veterans Adam Levine and Blake Shelton.
Stefani has sold nearly 30 million records worldwide with No Doubt and as a solo artist. No Doubt’s five albums have produced No. 1 hits like “Don’t Speak,” “Just a Girl,” “Hey Baby” and “Underneath It All.”
Both No Doubt and Stefani have toured successfully. Stefani’s last solo tour in 2007 grossed $31.5 million and sold 672,289 tickets to 57 shows mostly in North America, according to Billboard Boxscore. In 2009, No Doubt reported $22.6 million and nearly 500,000 attendance from 36 shows in North American arenas and amphitheaters, according to Boxscore.
Iggy owes her that #1.
56,000 dear.
What kind of self drag? And how much did The New Laxative sell?
Mimi’s album didn’t take 5 weeks to sell 100k dear.
And who, pray tell, was talking to you? Don’t you Navi s**** have a new album to buy or something?
But if she wasn’t talking to me she wasn’t talkig to you either ho. And no #R8 comes out in the fourth quarter, around the same time iggy will be rereleasing, remember?
Nope, 200+ million dear…
The New Classic didn’t take 5 weeks to sell 100k so I don’t see the point in that fail shade.
Boo it took about three, still nothing to be proud of.

My mom looks like her, she’s also a gorgeous woman.
Who cares.
I don’t talk to the fans of that thing, stick to your vomit idol.
This is who Iggy and Rita want to be but can’t.
The irony is that GGGB was filled with songs Gwen rejected.
School these s**** sis. Most of them have no musical knowledge beyond 2010.
Girl shut up and go buy birthday. Has any of Katy’s albums even outsold GGGB? No? I didn’t think so.
Gwen is a pop/rock star, Iggy is a rapper. How does she want to be like Gwen? They don’t have the same style.
Iggy is a copycat she’s only good
when ppl feature
or she features
on other songs
Fancy sounds like a Gwen stefani knock off
Flopggy cant have a hit without a pop girl singing a catchy hook. Shes gonna spend her entire career trying to recreate Fancy. *sighs*. Dead her album ssles too.
THANKYOU TGJ! People don’t wanna acknowledge that Gwen birthed all the girls that came out between 07 and 09.
You don’t need to drag Iggy because she drags herself everytime she performs Fancy. Homegirl literally depends on Pop girls to sell her own songs for her which is why I’m glad Charli is getting some shine from Fancy.
Why do you think she’s doing a re release so soon? She knows that her bars are s*** so is probably running around studios looking for a new chorus to rap along to.
Gwen slayed because it never felt like she was taking the p*** out of the music she experimented, it felt genuine. Good on her for making this move.
How much you wanna bet that most Iggy stans have no clue who Gwen is.
I need a new album from gwen stefani.
I’d love her to release another album, but I’d be happy with a No Doubt record too.
I wish I could care about your hate, but I’m too busy celebrating Fancy’s FOURTH week at number one.
Don’t forget to thank Charli for that, b****.
Don’t forget to thank David for all that promo, s***.
Don’t forget to avoid the NAACP, pussylicker.
Aww and once it falls out the charts, what will you cling to them? It sure won’t be album sales.
What power does the NAACP have anymore? Lmao!! Its 2014, not 1967!
She’s after her job on the Voice and now her manager? Pathetic.
What does Iggy have to do with Gwen Stefani? You guys are pressed and annoying. Charli XCX is the one who jacked Gwen’s style, not Iggy. I don’t get the hate.
So you admit that Fancy is only a hit because of Charli.
No where in that comment did I mention Fancy or it’s success. Either way its Iggy’s single and its 2x platinum, something Azealia will never see.
The nerve of this Whora stan to drag me when BW is her best chance of her charting on the main charts. Nobody cares about Rita except for Sam and David which is why the only place people talk about her is on this blog. Remember that the next time you try to come for me b****.
Not you acting like it wasn’t the same Sam and David that helped to promote Iggy when she was new too.
Atleast her album can go platnium in her domestic market.
Iggy’s domestic market would be Australia and it seems to be doing just fine there.
Bye not when after almost 2 months she is still certificationLESSS . And instead of domestic market I meant their current market
IGGY FANS CANT EVEN COME FOR RITA! ATLEAST SHE HAS A PLATNIUM AND AND DOESNT STRUGGLE TO SELL IN HER DOMESTIC MARKET
can we please get some talk on how christina is doing? she does have fans that miss her and would like to know how she’s coming along with her pregnancy. why do you still continue to ignore her as if there is nothing to report?
After almost 2 months iggy still can’t break 300k, or even outsell nickis first week.
It’s always funny to see you all seething everytime Charli or Iggy is mentioned.
Nobodies seething boo. I actually like charli. Iggy’s fans are trying it.
Why is iggy struggling with a number 1 single.
The New Classic (177,000) WW
Elusive Chanteuse (155,000) WW
Exactly iggy fans have the nerve to come for mariah when she’s on track to outsell her album in half the time.
She ugly
As someone who has every No Doubt album and Gwen album, i have reservations.
A) She makes sense being on The Voice cuz her’s is unique. Not about power, but style. Im good w her as a judge, but when they do the performances? Her and Levine’s voice? I dunnoooo. Her and Shelton’s voice?! Hmmmm. Maybe her and pharrel will do somethin.
B) PLEASE MAKE AN ALBUM BETTER THAN THE SWEET ESCAPE!!
The “original” Harajuku.
