INTERSCOPE SNAGS 2007 CROWN Zomba Second; Atlantic, IDJMG, RMG Round Out Top Five

Interscope is the 2007 Mediabase airplay champion. With the likes of Fergie, Timbaland, Snow Patrol, Maroon 5, and Soulja Boy, Interscope finished ahead of second place Zomba. Interscope did so with a huge chart share jump, up from 8.4% last year to 12.6% this year. Zomba had a record year, finishing a solid second, rising from 8.0% in 2006 to 11.9% in 2007. The label was keyed by Justin Timberlake, Pink, T-Pain, Ciara, and Chris Brown at the Top 40, Rhythmic, and Urban formats. One of the biggest wins this year for Zomba was at Rock, Active Rock and Alternative, where Three Days Grace was the most played artist. Atlantic had another solid year, finishing third. The label acquired Roadrunner, and therefore the huge Nickelback and Stone Sour airplay that comes with it. However, Atlantic had a solid year all around with Gym Class Heroes, Plies, Musiq, and T.I. Last year’s champion, Island Def Jam came in fourth this year. The loss of Roadrunner surely had an effect, but IDJMG still ranked in the top five. Leading the IDJMG charge this year were Rihanna, Kanye West, Fall Out Boy, and Ne-Yo. In fifth place was RCA Music Group – keyed by “American Idol” contestant Daughtry – who scored No. 1 hits at Top 40, AC, and Hot AC. Baby Boy, Carrie Underwood, and Alicia Keys also contributed to the RMG success.

INTERSCOPE ON TOP AT TOP 40 Zomba, RCA Music Group Also Score Double Digit Shares

Interscope, this year’s overall champion, scored a huge year at Top 40. The label pulled in 18.5% of the overall label share. Three labels finished the year with double digit chart shares. Zomba was second with 15.1%, while RCA Music Group was third with 12.0%. Those three labels accounted for almost half of all of the chart airplay at Top 40 in 2007. Interscope was keyed by huge years from Fergie, Timbaland, and Gwen Stefani. Fergie had two songs among the year’s 10 most played, and just scored her fifth top 10 hit within the last week with “Clumsy.” Over at Zomba, a stellar year was driven by a plethora of hits from sophomore efforts from Justin Timberlake, T-Pain, Ciara, and Chris Brown. Zomba soared from 9.2% last year to 15.1% this year. RCA Music Group finished third, moving from 6.9% last year to 12.0% this year. Daughtry, Avril Lavigne, and Paula Deanda all played a major role in the label’s strong 2007 finish.

ROADRUNNER ROCKS FOR ATLANTIC Imprint Keys Victory; Zomba’s Three Days Grace No. 1 Artist

Just a year ago, Atlantic acquired the Roadrunner franchise. In the rock world, the label has always been a force thanks to acts like Nickelback and Stone Sour, and in 2007 those acts paid major dividends. Atlantic was the dominant winner at Mainstream Rock, with a staggering 20.5% chart share. While Atlantic was the label winner, Zomba landed the format’s No. 1 artist with Three Days Grace, which helped drive them to the No. 2 spot among labels. Zomba also had a strong year with the help from Tool. In third place was Epic, who saw the return of Ozzy Osbourne, along with the development of Hellyeah, and some serious action from Chevelle. Warner Bros. came in fourth, with Linkin Park and the Red Hot Chili Peppers being strong factors in the label’s strong showing. Universal Republic, with Hinder and Godsmack, rounded out the top five.
