WEEKLY MARKETSHARE: See what a hit can do for a label’s new-release share? Michael Bublé’s 203k chart-toping debut, along with an assist from Area Code 615—namely, Blake Shelton, whose 35k is off last week’s total by just 16%—has vaulted Warner Bros. to the top for the seven-day period ending Sunday night. RCA had yet another strong showing, adding the debuting Fantasia’s 87k to the two-headed monster that is Justin Timberlake (76k, #3) and P!nk (29k, #8). Republic, which has been in a dogfight with Nipper (see what we did right there?) all year, was paced by #7 Kid Cudi (32k) and #12 Lil Wayne (25k). We invite you to A/B the above bar graph with this week’s chart to see the other correlatives. (5/1a)
