SONY RULES THE SINGLES SCENE (UPDATE)

Sony is ruling the singles scene. The label group now holds eight of the Top 10 tracks at iTunes and 12 of the Top 20.

RCA's Justin Timberlake rules the roost with his dancefloor juggernaut "Can't Stop the Feeling!" Labelmate P!nk holds the #4 spot with her Alice ST smash "Just Like Fire"; Disruptor/Columbia's Chainsmokers are #5; Columbia's Calvin Harris f/Rihanna is #6; We the Best/Epic's DJ Khaled is at #7 with the outta-here Drake collabo "For Free"; olumbia's Ruth B. roosts at #8; SYCO/Epic's Fifth Harmony hold #9 and Columbia's Beyoncé has the #10 perch with "Sorry."

Epic's Meghan Trainor sashays to #12 with "Me Too"; Columbia's Adele has #15 with "Send My Love"; Mr. 305/RCA's Pitbull f/Enrique Iglesias turns it up at #17; and 19/Arista Nashville's Carrie Underwood rings out at #19 with "Church Bells."

The various label teams are doubtless feeling pretty amped about this, um, singular achievement. And given the long tail in track life with the emerging streaming market, look for Sony to have a nice spike in streaming share in the near future, particularly from the hip-hop/rhythmic tracks.
