With nearly 20% of the year now in the books (though Q1’s anemic sales obviously won’t account for 20% of 2013’s overall sales tally), two of the Top 5 albums are indie releases—#1 Mumford and Sons (now at 2.8m) and #4 Lumineers (1.1m)—as indie-sector marketshare grows to 25% of the business, led by Bob Morelli’s RED, with 6%.
