new release marketshare

MARKETSHARING IS CARING: Rob Stringer's Columbia remains out front this week as Daft Punk's turn on retail's dance floor continues—the mystery twins landed at #2 on this week's chart. But IGA is just a nose behind, boosted by a surging Imagine Dragons (#7) and steady sales on The Great Gatsby (#10). Uni Nashville's stable of ongoing successes (notably #5 Darius Rucker) put Team Dungan a horsehair ahead of Monte Lipman's Republic, which has its own Nashville smash in Florida Georgia Line (#8), and Steve Barnett's Capitol Music Group, touting the latest Now iteration, Alice in Chains and Vanguard releases from Barenaked Ladies and John Fogerty. But look who's competing with the giants: indie powerhouse Beggars Group, which in addition to chart-topping rockers Queens of the Stone Age (on Matador) has XL's PoMo breakout Vampire Weekend and 4AD's The National.
