TOP 100 WEEKLY MARKETSHARE:
IN THE DRIVER’S SEAT

A quick glance at the latest Top 50 Albums and Song Streams charts will tell you all you need to know about UMG’s dominance behind Republic, with a 35% share of the market for the week ending 1/14, and IGA, with 16%. That adds up to a mind-blowing 51% of the totoal marketshare pie for the two scorching-hot labels.

Our Top 100 Weekly Marketshare Chart, which is determined solely by volume, shows the relative performance of the major labels by percentage at the top tier of the overall business.

The new chart reveals the labels making the biggest impact during that particular seven-day period—meaning the order of battle could differ dramatically from one week to the next, particularly when superstar releases hit the market, as in the cases of Morgan Wallen (Big Loud/Republic) and supernova Olivia Rodrigo (Geffen).
