Republic tops the third edition of our
Top 100 Weekly Marketshare Chart, just as the scalding-hot label did the previous two weeks. The #1 debut of
Ariana Grande’s
Positions and the ongoing strength of
Pop Smoke’s
Shoot for the Stars Aim for the Moon—which finished at #3 with 59k+ units—were the primary contributing factors to Team
Lipman’s third straight win, with a whopping 25% of the marketshare pie.
It was a #1-2-3 week for
UMG, which powered to a 59% share, with
IGA taking the silver and
CMG the bronze.
Our Top 100 Weekly Marketshare Chart (top), which is determined by the number and placement of each label’s releases in that week’s Top 100, shows the relative performance of the major labels by percentage of the top tier of the overall business.
Simply and clearly, 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.
