OK, maybe not ever was, but Republic has been following the same script featuring roughly the same ensemble cast since late last year. For the week ending 2/4, the House of Monte occupies 28% of the overall-marketshare real estate, just two percentage points below the previous week. But reigning champion and 2021 YTD marketshare leader Interscope is closing the gap with 21%, a 3% uptick. Between the two UMG labels, that’s just about half of the market and the lion’s share of Uni’s 60%.
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.
