Grainge Shows Range

UMG'S BIG GUNS: Jay-Z and Kanye West’s smash Roc-a-Fella/Def Jam/Roc Nation Watch the Throne album leads a procession of heavyweight UMG releases for the rest of 2011, including Lil Wayne, The Game, Mary J. Blige, Blink 182, 50 Cent, American Idol winner Scotty McCreery, Drake, Justin Bieber, Rihanna, Rick Ross and, just possibly, Dr. Dre. This array of potential big sellers, coupled with the fact that Doug Morris is still putting his Sony Music team on the field, increases the likelihood that Lucian Grainge’s Universal will retain its #1 marketshare for the year.
