BELOW Q1 leaders: David Guetta, Jessie J, Emeli Sandé, Adele and Coldplay


BMG CHRYSALIS AND KOBALT had their own stories to tell of beating Warner/Chappell in Q1 as they held onto their respective market share crowns. Led by the main stakes in releases by Bruno Mars


and Rizzle Kicks, BMG Chrysalis claimed a 22.7% share of the indie albums market in the quarter as Kobalt again headed the indie singles table with a whopping 34.7% share. Kobalt was so far ahead of everyone else on singles


that it outscored the next three closest companies combined with a hand including Gotye’s own 50% stake in Somebody That I Used To Know plus smaller shares in Jessie J hit Domino, Nicki Minaj’s Starships and LMFAO’s Sexy And I Know It. Kobalt outscored Warner/Chappell on singles as did


BMG Chrysalis on albums, although within the indie market Kobalt ran BMG a close second, behind by just 4.3 percentage points. Bucks’ best performance yet in the two markets


placed it third among indies on both singles (10.8%) and albums (7.6%). Its singles successes included the David Guetta hits Titanium and Turn Me On plus Starships, while it controlled 28.5% of Guetta’s album Nothing But The Beat. Global Talent was just behind in fourth place on


albums with a 7.3% share which included Sorry For Party Rocking by LMFAO, who also helped the publisher to fifth on singles (4.7%). Through a sample of its copyright Seville by the late


Brazilian guitarist and composer Luiz Bonfa, Carlin had a 50% stake in Somebody That I Used To Know and this helped it to fourth (7.1%) on the indie singles league table and eighth on albums (2.1%). With interests including the Black Keys’ El Camino,


Wixen finished fifth on albums (3.7%), just ahead of Imagem whose 3.3% in sixth place included Steve Robson’s contributions to Olly Murs’ In Case You Didn’t Know, while the company was sixth on singles (2.3%). Murs’ album also helped Peermusic to seventh


(3.2%) on albums and it also had a stake in the Military Wives album In My Dreams, which took Chester to 10th spot on albums (1.6%) and eighth on singles (1.1%).


from 6.9 percentage points in Q4 2011 to 2.9 points as it claimed 48% of Next To Me and additionally had significant stakes in DJ Fresh featuring Rita Ora’s Hot Right Now, Alone Again by Alyssa Reid featuring Jump Smokers, the Nicki Minaj smash Starships and Cover Drive hit Twilight. EMI has long established its


superiority over Universal on singles, but Sony/ATV is now staking a claim as the market’s second top player having now outscored Universal in the past three quarters. Its 17.2% share this time of the quarter’s Top 100 tracks was narrowly up on the previous quarter and moved it further ahead of Universal, which finished in third spot for a third successive time with 15.0%.


All three companies had stakes in the


Kelly Clarkson hit Stronger (What Doesn’t Kill You), the quarter’s ninth top single, while Universal’s other interests included Coldplay’s chart-topping Paradise, which it 95% controlled, and a half share of Turn Me On by David Guetta featuring Nicki Minaj. Despite all this, Universal’s singles share was its lowest in 15 months. The independents boosted their share


of the chart singles market from 32.6% during the closing three months of 2011 to 39.7% in the following quarter, reflected by the quarter’s top three sellers largely being controlled by non-majors. Gotye featuring Kimbra’s Somebody That I Used To Know, the period’s most popular single, had a 50:50 split between Kobalt and


Carlin, while Kobalt also claimed 62.5% of Jessie J’s Domino, ranked third for Q1. These helped lift Kobalt above Warner/Chappell into fourth place with a new personal best of 13.8% as Carlin arrived in eighth position with 2.8%. Just ahead in seventh was Bucks whose 4.3% share included controlling nearly 30% of Q1’s second top seller Titanium, which also included a 20.8% share to What A Publishing and 50% to EMI, the only major contribution to Q1’s top three sellers. Having gone back into double figures


the previous quarter, Warner/Chappell in fifth place slipped back down to 8.1%, although it was present on three of the quarter’s Top 10: Domino, Wild Ones and Starships.
