Q1 Marketshare

MARKETSHARE AT FIRST TURN: With the first quarter of 2010 drawing to a close, EMI Music, which actually inched ahead of WMG in U.S. new-release share during February, continues to hang close as we near the end of Q1, at 12.4% compared to Warner’s 12.8%, pulled along by the impressive 5.5% registered year-to-date by Mike Dungan’s Capitol Nashville; by comparison, Capitol Virgin stands at 3.1%. Meanwhile, the late-2009 hot streaks on the part of Rob Stringer’s Columbia Epic (10.1%), Jimmy Iovine’s IGA (8.8%) and Barry Weiss’ RCA Jive (8%) have continued through Q1 of this year. In the Big Four competition, Sony Music has actually caught long-dominant UMG, with each music group at 28.7% in overall share. For the complete rundown, go to the HITS story here. (3/25p)
