YOUR WEEKLY MARKETSHARE SCORECARD: It isn’t every week that a label without one of the top three sellers walks away with the frontline win, but CMG has done it by employing the marketshare equivalent of gang tackling—#4 Ryan Adams (40k), #11 Banks (25k), #16 Sam Smith (19k), #21 5 Seconds of Summer (13k) and #25 Katy Perry (10k). Sticking with pigskin analogies, Def Jam is the music-biz equivalent of the classic sportswriters’ description of UCLA as “gutty little Bruins,” playing above its weight once again with a pair of Top 10 albums in #3 Jhené Aiko and #8 Jeezy. Accolades are also due to RED, which distributes #1 Lecrae (Reach) and #6 Dustin Lynch (Broken Bow). (9/17a)
