grew in the quarter to a new 2012 high of 10.8%, meaning it finished in double digits for a second successive period for the first time in two years. With a new album by its signings Muse not arriving until the beginning of Q4, Warner/ Chappell had few big new releases to get excited
first three months of this year saw its singles share creep up to a new personal high when it occupied 13.8% of the market. But it topped even that in Q3 with a 16.3% that was just 2.3 points behind Universal. Among Kobalt’s many successes was
a 54.3% share of Maroon 5 featuring Wiz Khalifa’s Payphone, Q3’s second top seller, while it handled 85% of Stooshe’s Black Heart and 100% via Perfect Songs of Sam and The Womp’s Bom Bom, the period’s fourth and fifth biggest hits. Both Sony/ATV/EMI and Universal’s

SO COMPREHENSIVE WAS KOBALT’s control of the independent singles market that it captured a market share greater than the rest of the Top 10 players combined. Its 42.0% stake of the independent chart market represented a new personal peak and put clear distance between it and main rival BMG Chrysalis, which finished in second place with 12.4%. The rankings were reversed on albums, although
BMG Chrysalis’s lead was a fairly modest 2.2 percentage points over Kobalt as it claimed an 18.4% market share that included interests in albums by Paloma Faith, Plan B, Pink and Adele. Inagem grew its share of the indie albums market
between quarters to 11.2%, largely as a result of controlling more than 70% of The Script’s third album #3, while its fourth place on singles included more than half of the band’s first singles chart-topper Hall Of Fame. Bucks was in third place on singles (5.0%)
and fourth on albums (5.3%) as it claimed minor interests in four of the period’s five biggest albums, while Reach Global arrived in fifth position on singles after its exclusively-published Harder Than You Think by Public Enemy sold nearly 180,000 copies over the three months, according to the Official Charts Company. The Top 10 independent singles companies also

about during the quarter, although it did control more than a fifth of Rita Ora’s chart-topping debut. But with two rivals possessing nearly triple its
chart market share, the company’s battles these days are more realistically with BMG Chrysalis and Kobalt rather than Sony/ATV/EMI and Universal.
highlights included in Florence + The Machine’s Spectrum the quarter’s leading single with Universal’s 60% share realised through Florence Welch and its rival’s 40% coming via Paul Epworth. Sony/ATV/EMI also claimed sizable
shares of hits by the likes of Wiley, Rita Ora, Rudimental, Little Mix and Nicki Minaj, but as high as its market share was compared to the rest of the market it was significantly down on what the two previously-separate companies had claimed in recent times when their scores were added together.
In the closing three months of
2011, for example, the combined score for Sony/ATV and EMI was 41.3%, nearly 10 percentage points more than the new entity managed in the quarter just gone. Although way behind the leader,
Universal actually claimed its highest share of the singles market in two years, while behind Kobalt in fourth spot Warner/Chappell’s share remained in double figures with its 10.9% score including stakes in hits by acts such as Rita Ora, Chris Brown and Flo Rida.
ABOVE Q3’s top hits: The two biggest hits in publishing’s singles and albums market
included Edward Kassner in ninth position with a 0.8% share which included stakes in Rita Ora’s How We Do (Party) and Chris Brown’s Don’t Wake Me Up, the period’s sixth and seventh top sellers. More than 180,000 sales over the quarter of the
compilation Now That’s What I Call Reggae proved to be very handy for some independents with deep catalogues, among them Chris Blackwell’s Blue Mountain, which controlled 6.3% of the album and Carlin with a 5.7% share. The set helped Carlin to seventh place on the rankings for indie album publishers with a 1.8% score overall, while Blue Mountain returned to the top table in 10th spot with 1.2%.
