YOUR WEEKLY BACK & FORTH MARKETSHARE: Hmm, are we picking up on a pattern here? Republic, #1 in new-release share year-to-date, once again seizes the catbird seat from RCA, its closest rival, with its fourth chart-topping debut since the beginning of September, as Pearl Jam’s Lightning Bolt. And that’s not all, folks: Monte Lipman’s label has four of the Top 10 with the #4 Avett Brothers, #5 Drake and #7 Lorde, plus Republic Nashville’s debuting Cassadee Pope at #16. But Peter Edge’s Nipper continues to nip at Republic’s heels, thanks to Miley Cyrus’ Bangerz, last week’s #1 and a still-strong #2, along with #11 Justin Timberlake and #12 Gavin DeGraw. But look for this two-way to be crashed next week by #3 CMG, which has that brand new LP from you know who, while early November should belong to #4 IGA, with its upcoming 1-2 punch of Eminem and Lady Gaga.
