Mitch Bainwol, former chief of staff to Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-Tenn.), was named chairman and chief executive of the Recording Industry Association of America.

The hiring ends talk that House Energy and Commerce Committee chairman Billy Tauzin (R-La.) would land the job.

Bainwol, who starts Sept. 1, currently runs lobbying firm The Bainwol Group.
