Dua Lipa’s “Levitating” (Warner) was the biggest moneymaker of 2021, generating north of $5 million. Geffen newcomer Olivia Rodrigo had quite a year herself, landing four songs on the final Top 50 Song Revenue chart—including #2 “drivers license” and #3 “good 4 u”—for a grand total of $14,203,415.
Smashes by Columbia’s The Kid LAROI and Lil Nas X and RCA’s Doja Cat helped bring Sony Music to within four percentage points of UMG in 2021 Top 50 share.
