Dungan mktshare
IT'S HIS COUNTRY (WE JUST LIVE IN IT): Universal Nashville chief Mike Dungan is on fire, heading toward a possible 6 year-end marketshare among all labels and with 30% of the overall Country market (not to mention 35% of current Country releases) under his control. What’s fanning the flames? Here are a few hints: The Robertsons’ Duck the Halls, which threatens to be the year’s top holiday release; Luke Bryan’s chart stamina (powered by CMA action); and buzzing Grammy contender and CMA Best New Artist Kacey Musgraves. That’s on top of 2013 successes from Keith Urban, Darius Rucker and others. Mike would like to yell “Yeee-haww,” but his mouth is full of duck. (11/13a)
